6 Layer Style Presets These layer styles look great right out of the box, but they're also perfect for when you would like to make some adjustments and edit the effect to create your own custom press look. If you're familiar with editing layer styles then these presets will be a snap to tweak and create the desired effect.

12 Bonus Splatter Brushes These fine splatters are an excellent compliment to any stamp. It helps to enhance the look of actual ink on paper. These are fun and easy to use, just scale the brush to the desired size and click to apply.

Trace Preset in Illustrator Sometimes you need the flexibility of a vector graphic. It's easy to convert a stamp created with any of the methods above by simply copying and pasting from PS to AI. Setup the Image Trace preset from the instructions provided, and your off with just a couple of clicks.

Turn Any Stamp into a Transparent Layer After applying layer styles and filters you might want to change the color or background of your stamp, or maybe place it over a photo. It's easy to do by just running the bonus Transparent Stamp action, which gives you a new document with your stamp on it's own transparent layer.
