One way to do it is to create annotations such as typewrite text, shapes, etc. and flatten them. Copying and pasting base content from another file is another option.

Open the JavaScript Console (Ctrl+J) before you place your new stamp. Stamp name will show up in the console when you place the stamp. That name need to go to the stamp script (you've found the correct location already).
