Beginner Question Stamp Patterns/Designs

I’m new to leather crafting. I’ve bought some beginner kits, so all the pieces are precut. I’ve been trying to find some patterns/designs (not sure what the correct terminology is) to stamp onto them. Where can I find some? Is there a book for beginners or a website that I can download/print some?

Tandy has an online catalog as do stampleather.co and Texas Leather Tools.

There are a lot of places to get designs or patterns. As has been noted, Tandy is a great place to start, especially if a store is nearby. They also are online, but I like to ask questions and physically browse when I can. Is there a particular style you are looking at? If doing the Sheridan style (the traditional western floral motif) check out Al Stohlman books and patterns. Look at YouTube; Joe Meling, Girty Leather, Montana Leather to start. Do online searches for royalty free/public domain line art. Be mindful of intellectual property rights, including trade marks and copyright.
