Iron Orchid Designs - Classical Christmas Decor Stamp

LIMITED EDITION

Classical Christmas Stamp 

Stamp, 12”x12”, Single Sheet

Classical Christmas is inspired by the luscious layering and opulence of a Renaissance Christmas. We were generous with decadent detail in this collection and it will have your mind spinning with project ideas! 😉

The designs lend themselves wonderfully to mixed-media and paper-craft treatments. Consider stamping Classical Christmas with gold ink and pairing it with our Apothecary Labels Stamp to create Christmas cards that glisten. 

Project Suggestions: 

• Dress up Christmas cards, tags, and table-setting labels.
• Stamp a full wreath with holly, berries, and cherubs. 
• Stamp with an adhesive medium and some glitter to add a little sparkle to Christmas cards. 

Pair With: 

• Crimson Velvet Transfer
• Ephemeral Type Stamp

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.
