DECOR STAMPS
IOD décor stamps have the power to transform furniture, crafts, DIY lifestyle projects and even food! (they're food safe! but not made for high heat applications/dishwasher)
Use stamps with paint, ink, edible gel, embossing powder OR make textured impressions in clay or paint. They can be used with or without a mount (depending on the surface you’re stamping).
PREPARING YOUR STAMPS
Before removing from backing, condition your stamps with very fine sandpaper, scuff the surface in two directions. This helps the mediums stay put.
Remove stamps from backing when ready to use. This takes some force, but don’t worry, the stamps are strong.
CARING FOR YOUR STAMPS
- Avoid letting the medium dry all the way on the stamp surface.
- Wash them with mild soap and warm water.
- Place them back on the clear backing for storage.
TIPS FOR USING YOUR STAMPS
- Hover the stamp over your project surface to line up where you want to stamp before stamping.
- Once you're ready to stamp, COMMIT and don’t shift. That means, once your stamp makes contact with the surface, keep it there otherwise you might unintentionally smudge or create a double image.
- Apply even pressure and ensure good contact.
- Lift the stamp straight up off the project surface when done stamping, again being careful not to shift.
- Wipe your stamp clean with wipes immediately after use to prevent the medium from drying on the stamp.
- Last, and most important: Practice makes perfect! Stamping isn’t hard, but it does take a little practice to get it just right - especially as you try new mediums and different surfaces!
