Iron Orchid Designs - Pastiche Decor Stamp

Pastiche Clear Stamp

Two Sheets, 12” x 12”

Step into the world of Pastiche, where the quaint charm of cloches and cages meets the quirky world of bugs and critters. One of the themes of this release is academia (can you tell?!), a theme we've absolutely fallen for, evoking daydreams of tranquil, cozy book nooks in beautiful botanical spaces. 

The birdcages were the starting point for this two-stamp set when Sally came across some beautiful, washed-back birdcages encapsulating beautiful floral elements.  

We took great care in crafting the bars and cloches, ensuring they enhance your designs without overshadowing them. The bars allow you to stamp over your chosen elements seamlessly, while the cloches, with their reduced shadowing, offer a clear showcase for whatever you place inside.

Envision this set in your mixed media projects, pairing perfectly with our Kindest Regards, Le Courrier, or Butterfly Stamps, as well as Millot’s Pages or Brocante Transfers. There is so much potential for beautiful layering and intricate compositions.

A little insider tip: The pointy stand above the bird is upside down – flip it, and it becomes the perfect perch for pinned beetles, butterflies, or moths. And why not add a touch of dimension with our Butterfly or Specimens Moulds for some eye-catching three-dimensional effects?

What will you put inside your cloches and cages!? We can’t wait to see. 

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.
