Birds & Bees Decor Stamp
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.

How to Prep IOD Stamps
Did you just get your very first set of IOD stamps - beyond exciting, right?!? But
before you can get your hands dirty, you need to condition your stamps. You
only need to do this once and then your stamps will be set for life.
Start by removing the acrylic sheet attached to the stamping side of the design,
while leaving the stamps attached to their backing sheet. Using a fine grit
sand block scuff or rough up the stamping surface. Lightly sand in one
direction and then rotate the craft stamp 90 degrees and sand lightly in a
different direction.
This helps the mediums stay put, and not bead (which some types, like ceramics
glazes, tend to do). It also will give a cleaner impression.
