Could anyone tell me how to engrave a wooden stamp, I can't fathom out how to engrave the background instead of the letters so the letters are raised, it's probably really easy when you know how lol Thanks in advance!

If you are using a raster image make it a negative and then flip it horizontally and set to engrave.
If you are using vector as Tom says the outer line turns on engrave next line in turns off etc...
So a box with writing inside created in Lasercut would engrave background leaving text raised. A box with a few mm and then another box would create an engraved boarder and then the text engraved.
Best
