Ok Sisters! Here’s a challenge for you. Create a piece using stamps, molds and transfers too! 😁

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Oooh, that's a good one! 😄

[@lindz916]

I didn’t see any yet! Have there been any mixed media pieces with all three products tried yet by IOD? I’d like to see that as well.

[@gayleosornio7699]

I second that Terry Brewer!

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Ha ha! 😊

[@zoeemiko8149]

Just a heads up. You can make svg's from the outlines you've stamped using Silhouette studio & cut them out on all kinds of fun papers, vinyl, etc etc. Even fabric & leather!

[@kajnkween]

yes!

[@misscndnwoman2177]

Svg's ??😊

[@raniapetridou470]

Soooo clever you two! Soooo freaking clever! THANK YOU! 👏👏👏👏👏🧚‍♂️🙏

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Thank you, Rania!!! We certainly had fun with it! So glad you enjoyed our techniques ❤️

[@jaynebrown693]

Lovely ! It makes me think of doing your work in pencil before actually painting. That way you can erase a placement without destroying you piece. Good idea ladies! If you were making many of the molds for your piece ... can you photocopy your first inked paper piece? Then you don’t have to keep inking your molds? Just a thought. Have you done your Transfers with the molds? I’m sure you have ...I’ve probably missed it being a newbie to this world of IODs . I’ve been watching Jami and Zeb for just over a year now. Love this world of IODs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Thanks for your lovely comment, Jayne, and for taking the time to watch the video and ask some great questions! Photocopying an outline of the moulds is a great and efficient idea for utilizing this technique! So glad to have you here on our IOD channel!

Fabulous tutorial I love your moulds came across your video By accident, lol. Wow I bought 9 moulds. Going to be insane creating for while.And to let you know I'm going to be using clay, And amazing casting resin and Art Resin in moulds to be placed On gloss picture frames. Like suncatchers. I'm so blinking excited. I'll let you know how it all Works out.

[@sheilaegeland]

Its to glass picture frames

[@Hollyhock7]

Is your airdry clay pretty durable??? If I made a pendant for a necklace, would it crumble or break easily?

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Hi Koya! Were we talking on Instagram? 😊 You can definitely use the clay to make a pendent, but it can crack and break. We would suggest using something as a backing with the clay OR using resin is great too!♥

[@juneharris8068]

Can you let the clay dry in the mold?

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Hi June! Here are some thoughts about your question... On thing to consider about leaving the clay to dry in the mould is that it could create issues with cracking and breaking. Clay will fracture as it dries if it has nothing on it. That’s why everyone recommends painting and gluing while the clay is wet. It minimizes shrinkage and cracking. But with that, I would also say this; most of us have experimented to some degree to gain the knowledge we have. Worst case scenario is a crumbled experiment! Best case is we all learn something new! 😄

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

I wanted to add that if you were working with other mediums like Polymer clay you would be fine to remove after oven dried. Resin you would wait until it's dry as well. 😊

[@kimpaynter]

Could you use dye or like a food color to the clay you ladies are always have the best ideas ❤️❤️❤️

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Hi Kim! Great question. I haven't done it myself, so I asked a few of our stockists to hear their experience. One of our stockists says that she's added IOD ink to the clay by kneading it in, and she thinks food color may work as well. However, in her experience, it takes a lot of ink to change the color and it lightens quite a bit as it dries. Another stockist believes that if you add too much color it could weaken the clay. Hope that helps! If you try it out, let us know what you find! 😄

[@kimpaynter]

@@IronOrchidDesigns thanks for the information I thought it would be cool to add the color to the clay for the birds in a kinda rainbow it would be fun to try and drying lighter would be cool

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

@@kimpaynter Yes! If you try it out you'll have to let us know how it goes! ❤️

[@jessypouncer1362]

Kim Paynter I have added paint to my clay. Works great. Does dry lighter, though.

masks helpful mostly when layering stamps

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Very true!

[@peggiecarsonn9102]

You could glue it to your cut out, then paint, then glue to project.

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

That would work as well - especially if you're worried about getting paint on your stamp impression. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lindabender1713]

The micro rim makes a huge difference.

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Absolutely! One of our favorite aspects of our moulds ❤️

[@wendyfalk2793]

So I am REALLY late to the party, but thought I would suggest using the NEGATIVE of the paper you cut the birds from as a mask for when you paint or even using the negative as a stencil and stamp 'roses' through it and have a floral bird shape stamped without outlines :)

[@lindabender1713]

No sound?

[@IronOrchidDesigns]

Sounds is working fine on our end. Did it get any better for you?

Stamp your wood and then you can put your clay birds any where you want!
