I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanksgiving comes late this year, and you know what that means: Christmas is just around the corner! This year I'm making some fun tags with the Christmas Fun stamp set. These are the cutest stamps and they're perfect for coloring, especially if you're new to coloring stamped images.

I used the "Magic Colored Pencil" technique, only I use baby oil instead of odorless mineral spirits for blending. You can also use mineral oil. These stamps make coloring the images easy because they do the shadowing for you.

Note: Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) is indeed "odorless" but that does not mean it doesn't have potentially hazardous fumes, especially if used in a non-ventilated area. OMS is also a fire hazard if not stored properly. Please read the OSHA sheet on any OMS before you decide to use it.

This stamp set makes great tags and also makes wonderful focal images for your Christmas cards.

Remember that the Double Dips promotion is still available through December 3rd! Now is the perfect time to have a catalog party, or get those stamps that you've always wanted. Double Dips equals Double Rewards!

Something to think about: TAC hasn't raised its prices in several years, but it looks like our prices may be going up in the next catalog (which comes out in February), so get your supplies at the current price while you can!
