✦ I turned a few avatar frames from the Steam Points Shop into stamp frames since I figured they would look cool if used this way! #1 is from Cult of The Lamb, and the rest are from various 'Fests held by Steam itself.
✦ Totally free to use/edit. Please don't reupload these templates to resource sites or anywhere else! I would really like it if you credited me, but at LEAST, you REALLY GOTTA credit Steam (and Massive Monster for #1), since the original images belong to them. You can also support the official release by purchasing the frames with Steam Points.

✦ If you want to, you can get access to the Canva file I edited these in here, which might make creating stamps easier. A mini tutorial for using it is under the cut:
When you load in, you'll see these pictures of a bunch of eggs I used as as a placeholder.
This is just a random stock image in Canva I used. The egg image has been sized perfectly for each stamp frame by me, since each one has slightly different inner dimensions. Click Uploads to upload your image/s you want to use:
Once it's uploaded, you can simply drag and drop to replace the egg image with it:
To make it easier to access, I moved these egg images to the top layer, so your image is still on top of the frame, and you need to move them to the back. Click Position:
(If you want to recolor/add filters to your uploaded image, you can also do that now by clicking Edit here)
Once you click Position, this menu appears, which has a lot of shit in it, but don't worry, you only need to click one button. To Back sends this image directly to the back where we want it.
The little reminder text I put here because Tumblr loves reuploading people's stamp frames with no attribution pops in front. Feel free to delete it now, you can do that by clicking on this text layer and pressing backspace or the trash can icon that will appear on it.
Then your stamp is done! Wowie!
Click Share in the corner, then Download.
That brings up the download menu, which is the part that confuses most people. You can ignore most settings that aren't these ones:
Transparent background: You can only export transparently with Canva Pro, which is a bit crappy, but it's easy enough to change the background color to white or another color and remove it in OIE. In the case of this particular frame I'm using in our example, it actually covers the entire image, so there's no background, so we don't even need to worry about checking this box.
Pages: Each frame is a "page." You can see the number in the previous images. If you only want to download one page, you'll select it in the dropdown.
Then, click Download.
You did it!

step 2: pick out a stamp template
in order to make stamps, you need a template. this is the ridged outer layer that gives the stamp its shape. there are many different sizes and colors available to choose from across the web. standard stamps are 94x50, but you can make your stamp and templates as large or small as you'd like. the frame i am providing is 99x56. save it to your photos and let's move on to the good stuff!

step 3: head to ezgif
go to https://ezgif.com/ and click "resizer".
after you are in the resizing menu, select "choose file". this is where you will be importing your gif.
once your gif has been imported, click "upload".
now you can see a menu with different options and numbers. in the width bar, type "99". in the height bar, type "50". do not mess with the percentage or resize method options. under "if aspect ratio does not match", click the blue square to pull up the options. select "stretch to fit".
congratulations, your gif is resized!! you're halfway there. under your gif, click "more tools".
click add overlay/watermark.
this is where we put the stamp border on. you must click "extend canvas size", or the border will not fit.
this is what the canvas looks like when its extended. dont worry, it will be fixed later. click "choose file" and select your stamp template.
once your stamp template has been imported, select "upload image".
dont freak out- the template will be all over the place at first. you must click and drag (or tap and move) to adjust it to fit your stamp. here is before and after.
select "generate image".
now we have to get rid of the transparent space. select "crop". you do not have to crop the stamp yourself. check the box under auto crop that says "trim transparent pixels around image".
YAYAYAY now your animated stamp is complete!!!! make sure to save it.
this is the final result! i hope this tutorial was helpful, i tried to go as in depth as possible. please let me know if there is anything i can change to make it easier to understand, and happy stamp making!! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
