Iron Orchid Designs - Winter Forest Decor Stamp

LIMITED EDITION

Winter Forest Stamp

Stamp, 12”x12”, Single Sheet

Modeled after the classical fir, spruce, and pine Christmas trees, Winter Forest features full branches for a woodsy, natural motif. The vintage trees are perfect for handmade Christmas gifts that will become charming heirlooms. 

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Winter Forest is extremely versatile. Our design excludes any lights or ornaments that you might find on a classical Christmas tree because we wanted to celebrate the natural beauty of these trees in their naked form. This allows you to decorate the tree as you want or reserve it for non-holiday projects! 

Project Suggestions: 

• Pair with the large typography from the Gilded Tinsel Transfer for mixed-media wall art.
• Adorn kraft wrapping paper with Winter Forest trees in white ink and gold snowflakes from Tinsel.
• Transform simple white plates with a green tree in the center of each plate. 
  

Pair With: 

• Classical Christmas Stamp
• Barnwood Planks Stamp
• Typesetting Stamp
• Adornment 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.
