How to easily stamp names/words?

I might be the last one on earth to tell you this but I'm going to share anyway! It's an easy way how to stamp names and words. Perhaps this might be the tip you have been waiting for forever! :)
Here is what you need:
alphabet letterstampset, masking tape, paper, inkpadPick out the words that you want to make.
Put the stamps down on the table and cut a piece of masking tape.
Pick up the stamps while firmly holding them together.
Press firmly onto the stamps so that they stick to the masking tape.Close the masking tape all around the stamps.
Now you have 1 stamp of 4 letters.
Press the inking pad onto the stamp.
Stamp the word on the surface you want to stamp on.
I have two identical stamping sets so it's easy to make multiple words.
I wish I had three, but I don't so I needed to use
the letter 'L' from one of the above stamps.

And this is the result...
It's very easy to make your own shopname too.
In case that's a long name, use a liner or box
to make sure the stamps are lined up nicely.

Add a piece of masking tape to the stamps.
Press the masking tape firmly around the stamps.
When the stamp is long, you have to make sure that you press firmly
on the beginning, middle and end of the stamp to get an even result.
Tada: ArtMind!
Don't know if this was useful for you, but I remember I was completely enlightened when I first found out how to do this! :)

Now go look at these clever fabric labels by EvaForeva - what a fantastic idea to add your label to your work! :)

Genius!!!
I have rarely used my stamps because of trying to get straight lines. thanks for thinking out of the box
Thank you sooooooo much for a fantastic tips, now i don't have to avoid using my letterstamp set.
Always wondered how one got them on card in straight line. Thanks for the tips!
Great tip! Thanks!
When you rolled out a piece, lift it up carefully and
transfer it to another tile so you can roll out more little clay slabs.
Thank you! Better use of my alphabets and mini designs now!
Thank you, that is so cool.

Have had a mini letter set for over a year and never used it, now I can put it to good use. Thank you.
I just have a small question, this has solved one problem for me - which is great, but i want the gaps between each letter to be a lot smaller - Anyone have any ideas... the stamps i have are very small and made of wood, but i need small spacing :)

Thank You, any suggestions would be great!!!

Thanks so much! I was having a lot of trouble but now I know how to do it!
This is great. I've always hesitated to use my letter stamps because they were so uneven. This is an awesome tip. Thanks so much.
The basic idea of a stamp that is so. But you managed to simplify it. Success!! best sewing machine
you are the first person to tell me too, I was always printing `freehand` now it will be perfect! Thank you for sharing
Love the idea, now I no longer have to stamp in crazy lines (I have been setting each letter a little crooked so it looks like I did it on purpose. Works! :)
