Mercantile 12X12 IOD Stamp

Reminiscent of the IOD first-generation Grainery Stamp, the IOD Mercantile Stamp has evolved into something even more versatile. A fresh take on the 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. Decorate throw pillows, tea towels, or create distinctive wall art, infusing each project with a touch of heritage.

Pair the IOD Mercantile Stamp with the IOD La Campagne Stamp or incorporate elements from the Crockery Stamp into the wreath designs for a unique focal point. 

Handy Tips: 

1. 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. 
2. 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. 
3. Use the accent elements next to the cow and horse for styled dividers (great on tea towels). 
4. Repeat the flourish accents to make end-to-end borders.
