Retro 12 x 12 Décor Stamp

Description

For anyone who hasn’t used IOD stamps before, they’re essentially what they sound like:  A clear stamp – but it doesn’t stop there!

While similar in function to stamps you used as a child — IOD stamps are magical (no kidding!). They have the power to transform a piece of junk found on the side of the road to a show-stopping piece of home decor that you’ll have to convince your husband you didn’t spend your entire monthly budget on. For reals, they are that good.

And DIY home decor is just the tip of the creative iceberg. IOD stamps can be used in food art and DIY lifestyle projects, like taking a boring pair of jeans and stamping a beautiful bohemian design down the pant leg.

TOP TIPS FOR STAMPING

• 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.
• Use one hand to hold the stamp, then use your other hand to run your fingers over all the details of the stamp – 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 medium and different surfaces to get it just right.
