Is the word estampada the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "estampada" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated, whereas in Portugal, the vowels are often more closed, reduced, or even swallowed (vowel reduction), which is a characteristic of the European Portuguese accent.
