These words seem similar at first glance but they are used differently: "stomp" implies violent, aggressive action, "stamp" implies vigorous but non-violent, non-aggressive action. For example:
He stamped the invoice as paid.
He stamped his feet to try and keep warm.
He stomped on the snake.
He stomped into the room ready for a confrontation.
