A word of caution, this hobby can become very addicting. You may find yourself wanting to get some other accessories to add to your stamping stash. The first tool you need is a stamping hammer. This will help to prevent some of the rebound when you tap the stamp over your blank piece to create the image you want on the metal. This can be a bit loud so you may also want to invest in a rubber block. Both will help absorb some of the shock from the hammer. You may want to consider enamel markers to darken the stamped impressions or patinas to blend and layer on the metals.
