Décor ink, Chalk paint and other fabric suitable mediums work well. Fabric: When stamping fabric a load of the medium should be generous in order to penetrate the fibres, and the look will be different with different levels of fabric texture.We recommend using the blank stamp pads to apply the ink (one for each colour), then pat the surface of the stamp with it. We find that we like using paint and ink equally, and they lend themselves well to different projects and surfaces. Ink gives finer detail and tends to be a little more translucent than paint, keep this in mind in consideration to your project.

Ink: Our Décor ink and most other inks work fabulously with the Décor Stamps as well.

Also keep in mind variables such as the surface you are stamping, the medium you are using, as well as the look you are trying to achieve. This part takes a little practice to get the feel of the load so that it’s enough to give you the impression you want without being sloppy. Make sure you get an even load and roll onto the design side of the mounted (or if using unmounted, proceed accordingly) stamp. When using paint we recommend creating a small puddle to roll a small dense foam roller in.

Paint: Paint works wonderfully with the Décor Stamps.

Whichever mounting method you use, the stamp backs must be perfectly clean, as well as the mount, in order for the stamp to cling firmly to the mount.

When using the bare stamp make sure that your fingers don’t stick to it, this could cause the stamp to lift from the surface and create a smudge. For example, a stamped front of cowboy boots the stamp was able to be stretched to conform it cleanly to the surface even though the boot is very curved.

No mount. This is when you would use the stamp without mounting to anything because you want it to really conform to a curved surface, or even stretch.

This is great for irregular surfaces such as walls or furniture (surprisingly, many furniture surfaces that appear flat have dips- this method will conform nicely). Simply position the stamp on the sheet and proceed.

Freestyle stamping. This is what we call it when you use a flexible piece of plastic, such as the clear sheet that came with the stamps, as a mounting device.

Large mounting block. This is recommended for surfaces that are perfectly flat, for example, if you are doing fabric on a perfectly flat work surface.

This takes some force, but don’t worry, the stamps are strong.

Remove stamps from backing when ready to use.

This helps the mediums stay put, and not bead (which some types, like ceramics glazes, tend to do).

Before removing from the backing, condition your stamps with very fine sandpaper, scuff the surface in two directions.
