Iron Orchid Designs - Velveteen Decor Stamp (6 x 6)

VELVETEEN

4 Sheets, 6”x6” w/ Envelopes and Case  

Introducing the Velveteen Stamp, four gorgeous damasks all tucked into a darling little set. We named it Velveteen because we had visions of an ornate design once full of grandeur yet worn to a commonly quaint use in a shabby French cottage. Velveteen is a tribute to the beauty of damask, which has graced interiors since it arrived in Europe during the 14th century.

Dress up pillow covers, lamp shades, or the fabric at the base of a vintage accent chair. Imagine Velveteen in faded colors and a distressed finish on ivory curtains hanging from black poles and brass rings. Most commonly used as repeated patterns these each can be used alone or paired with each other for so much versatility!

Project Suggestions:

• Small Decor: Damask pillow covers, lamp shades, repurposed books, or fabric.
• Wall Art: Stamp distressed paper and frame it with castings from Trimmings 1 or 2.

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.
