Description Stamp Template Used


This tutorial covers the basics for making a stamp and making it look Snazzy!

As promised, here is a list of Fonts that I recommend for use in Stamps (You can Google their name + "Font" and you should find them, some are not free!)
Free!
Acknowledge
Visitor
Not Free Fonts
Agency FB (Usually comes with Microsoft Office)
Klavika
Fonce Sans Pro by $liquisoft
Fonts you should have already
Microsoft Sans Seref

If you have a favorite font, let me know!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will assist you!
I can assist with Stamp Making in Photoshop as well. The Template has both a GIMP XCF and a Photoshop PSD

I have two questions
How to Grayscale the texture layout without having other layout turns grey? I found the Grayscale at the menu Image > Mode > Grayscale but when I click it, all of my stamps layers turned grey? Couldn't find another button for it either
How to create borders around the font? Have been wondering about this

SparkLum In reply to moonnightsilver [2010-09-08 03:46:25 +0000 UTC]

Assuming GIMP 2.6.10, go to Colors->Desaturate

As for Borders, I'll make a tutorial for that later. You have to do it yourself D:

Will take note for that!

Draw around the font, you mean?

SparkLum In reply to moonnightsilver [2010-09-08 04:47:33 +0000 UTC]

Basically what I do is copy the font layer *below* the main font layer, turn it the opposite color (or some other color, you can lock the Alpha for that and then draw on it) and then move it around and put a blend mode on it.

moonnightsilver In reply to SparkLum [2010-09-08 05:00:02 +0000 UTC]

Copy, change colour or lock Alpha. Draw. Blend Mode. The Blend Mode is the Blend Tool or something else?

SparkLum In reply to moonnightsilver [2010-09-08 05:00:30 +0000 UTC]

Layer blend mode, sorry D:

Hi! I just want you to know that I remade two of my stamps using this tutorial, and I like them a lot more now! They're so much more appealing and easier to read now.

SparkLum In reply to KakuzuToshiro [2010-09-03 06:32:15 +0000 UTC]

You can animate in GIMP, but it's a bit tricky
I'll be making a tutorial for animated stamps at a later date
