Iron Orchid Designs - Orleans - Decor Stamp

IOD Orleans Decor Stamp

Add subtle vintage character to your projects with the Orleans Decor Stamp from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by an antique map sourced from a collector at a Paris flea market, this texture stamp creates a fine, evenly spaced pattern for furniture upcycling, handmade home décor and mixed media art.

Imagine a quiet layer of map-inspired detail beneath stamped botanicals, a tone-on-tone finish on a painted cabinet, or aged-looking papers for your journal. Named after the historic French city of Orléans, this design adds surface interest without competing with your focal elements. Its soft edges help blend stamped sections together and carry the pattern around edges and corners.

Ideas for your next project

• Create tone-on-tone backgrounds on painted furniture and decorative trays.
• Layer beneath florals from IOD Nature’s Etchings for botanical mixed media art.
• Make vintage-inspired faux ephemera and papers for junk journaling.
• Add map-inspired texture to keepsake boxes, handmade cards and wall panels.
• Press into IOD Air Dry Clay to create embossed craft details.

Using your IOD stamps

Use with IOD Decor Inks to build your background. Repeat sections across larger surfaces, allowing the soft edges to blend into the surrounding design. An IOD Flexible Grid Mount Sheet can support positioning on flat projects, while the stamps can be used without their backing on curved or irregular surfaces.

Preparing your stamps

Condition before first use for a cleaner impression. Remove the protective acrylic sheet from the stamping side, leaving the stamps on their backing sheet. Gently scuff the stamping surface with fine-grit sandpaper in one direction, then turn through 90 degrees and repeat.
