Uses for Wooden Stamps
We all know that the wooden stamps can be used on paper to make cards and add an element of style to scrapbooking, but there are many other projects that you can use wooden stamps. For example, pick out your favorite wooden stamps and create a design on a t-shirt or fabric to create a unique quilt block.
Wooden stamps can also be used to create images onto polymer clay. These designs can be used to create wearables or add texture to plates, or bowls. It is as simple as carefully pushing your stamp into the clay. The stamps allow you to create an embossed look without the hard work involved in embossing.
Clay is not the only material in which the Wooden Stamps can be used to create an embossed effect. These stamps are perfect for stamping on velvet. This one is a little tricky, but the results are stunning. First, it is important to pick a bold thick stamp. Choose a velvet that is made from rayon/acetate.
Next, place the stamp face up on an ironing board or hard surface. The material will then get placed face down upon the stamp. Slightly moisten the velvet and press with an iron for about 30 seconds. Make sure the iron setting is set to the appropriate material setting. After the 30 seconds, lift up the iron and look under the velvet to see the beautiful results.
