Mercantile 12x12 IOD Stamp
Two Sheets, 12” x 12”
Sally cherished our first-generation Grainery Stamp and it inspired us to evolve it into something even more versatile. Meet Mercantile, a fresh take on this beloved classic! This set features dozens of stamp combinations, allowing every piece to be mixed and matched. Craft unique compositions by pairing elements like rustic horses, vintage advertising typography, and decorative wreaths for a diverse range of looks.
Drawing inspiration from the authentic linen texture of vintage grain sacks, this set is wonderful for Farmhouse, French Fleamarket, and classic Americana (Jami Ray, we think you’ll love this one!). Decorate throw pillows, tea towels, or create distinctive wall art, infusing each project with a touch of heritage.
Handy Tips:
- Use a thin mount and grid with the grain stripes to get a continuous, nice, straight pattern. Want to use just one strip element of the grain stripes? Ink only the one you want to use and stamp.
- The wheat element is designed to be flexible, allowing you to create continuous patterns or clustered designs depending on how you arrange them. You can also curve the wheat as you stamp to get different looks.
- Use the accent elements next to the cow and horse for styled dividers (great on tea towels).
- Repeat the flourish accents to make end-to-end borders.
Pair Mercantile with our La Campagne Stamp or incorporate elements from our Crockery Stamp into the wreath designs for a unique focal point.
We are delighted to add this sister to our beloved first-gen Grainery, we know so many of you will be running to your Stockist when you see this one (if you don’t already have the whole collection on hold sight unseen)!
Newbie to stamping? For anyone who hasn’t used the IOD Décor Stamps, they are essentially what they sound like. A stamp. Similar to a stamp that you might’ve used as a child- but magical. The IOD Décor Stamps have the power to transform an item that you found on the side of the road to an item that you will have to convince your husband you didn’t spend your entire monthly budget on. Yeah, that good.
But wait- there’s more.
The IOD décor stamps aren’t just for furniture and home décor, you can use them to transform your food art as well! The stamps are made from a food safe material (do not use the same sets for food and paint ;)). But be warned- they are not for high heat applications. Do NOT put in dishwasher, they will melt at extreme heats. And then you will be extremely heated too.
PREPARATION IS KEY.
Before removing from backing, condition your stamps with very fine sandpaper, scuff the surface in two directions. This helps the mediums stay put, and not bead (which some types, like ceramics glazes, tend to do).
Remove stamps from backing when ready to use. This takes some force, but don’t worry, the stamps are strong
