A stamp. Similar to a stamp that you might’ve used as a child- but magical. The IOD Décor Stamps have the power to transform an item that you found on the side of the road to an item that you will have to convince your husband you didn’t spend your entire monthly budget on. Yeah, that good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut wait- there’s more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IOD décor stamps aren’t just for furniture and home décor, you can use them to transform your food art as well! The stamps are made from a food safe material (do not use the same sets for food and paint ;)). But be warned- they are not for high heat applications. Do NOT put in dishwasher, they will melt at extreme heats. And then you will be extremely heated too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePREPARATION IS KEY.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBefore removing from backing, condition your stamps with very fine sandpaper, scuff the surface in two directions.

Simply position the stamp on the sheet and proceed. This is great for irregular surfaces such as walls or furniture (surprisingly, many furniture surfaces that appear flat have dips- this method will conform nicely).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo mount.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis is when you would use the stamp without mounting to anything, because you want it to really conform to a curved surface, or even stretch. For example, I stamped the front of my cowboy boots, and was able to stretch the stamp and conform it cleanly to the surface even though the boot is very curved. When using the bare stamp make sure that your fingers don’t stick to it, this could cause the stamp to lift from the surface and create a smudge. Nobody likes an unintentional smudge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhichever mounting method you use, the stamp backs must be perfectly clean, as well as the mount, in order for the stamp to cling firmly to the mount.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIFFERENT MEDIUMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaint works wonderfully with the Décor Stamps. When using paint we recommend creating a small puddle to roll a small dense foam roller in. Make sure you get an even load and roll onto the design side of the mounted (or if using unmounted, proceed accordingly) stamp. This part takes a little practice to get the feel of the load so that it’s enough to give you the impression you want without being sloppy. Also keep in mind variables such as the surface you are stamping, the medium you are using, as well as the look you are trying to achieve. Practice makes perfect!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInk:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOur Décor ink, and most other inks, work fabulously with the Décor Stamps as well. Ink gives finer detail and tends to be a little more translucent than paint, keep this in mind in consideration to your project. We find that we like using paint and ink equally, and they lend themselves well to different projects and surfaces. We recommend using the blank stamp pads to apply the ink (one for each color), then pat the surface of the stamp with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSURFACES AND APPLICATIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhen stamping fabric the load of medium should be generous in order to penetrate the fibers, and the look will be different with different levels of fabric texture. Décor ink, Chalk paint and other fabric suitable mediums work well. It is our opinion that the ideal fabric for permanent washables is 100 percent cotton. However, blends and some other natural fibers can sometimes work as well. Do a small test to be sure. Allow your newly stamped fabric to dry\/cure for a minimum of 24 hours, then heat set with an iron on high heat before washing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurniture:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBoth painted and stained furniture can be stamped.

Then, when you have time, wash them with mild soap and warm water. For some mediums you may find that you need a stamp cleaner. Use one that is safe for clear stamps. After thoroughly cleaned, place them back on the clear backing for storage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IRON ORCHID DESIGNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48876986171620,"sku":"IOD-STA-TCL","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0135\/0765\/7786\/files\/5EBC115C-5B9E-4647-966B-F8BC640B5B25.jpg?v=1778029855","url":"https:\/\/shopsignaturefinishes.com\/products\/emblems-12-12-decor-stamp%e2%84%a2","provider":"Signature Finishes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
