What a great idea, Nichol. I love the way the rings in the natural wood add texture to the reindeer. I may have been one of those people who expressed my appreciation to you for encouraging us to use and re-use some of our favorite stamps. So pleased to see more ideas from your talented brain.

Great tags & do love seeing designers using older stamp sets as well not just constantly new ones as not all of us have limitless budgets & have to wisely choose what we buy. Although anybody want to send me sets they no longer want I will accept gladly xxlol
someone gave me a tip years ago for wood slices you cut yourself. If you cut them from a branch that fell when the ground is frozen, they won't split. It has worked for me. Love your ornaments!

Great idea! Didn’t know that it would work to stamp on wood. But... reindeers are grayish! Why do people always color them brown? Are reindeers brown in the USA ? 🧐 in Scandinavia the reindeers are grey! ☺️
Maria Varga hello! I grew up in Ohio and also lived in Montana in The Ohio area I have only seen white tail deer which are mostly brown with the younger ones having the white spots, that they grow out of.The older Elk in Montana that I saw were brown to very dk.brown on head neck and legs with beautiful beige -ish light brown end of neck to beginning of rump area(with the young also having light spots that go to an all brown body before getting other color variations like above.) Moose in Montana when they are young looked brown with the older adults having a shaggy grayish tint to their brownish coats. ( especially in winter) Their are many different species of deer, elk etc. with reindeer being a sub species of the deer family and actually are called a “caribou” in North America. But, sadly...I have yet to find a red nose in any of these species though! 😂
Maria Varga in Canada, reindeer are glittery, with sparkling antlers, bright red noses ( that are on timers and only come on at dark).....in other words, reindeer can be ANY colour your imagination makes them, it truly doesn't matter!!!!
Gamsol. It's an odorless mineral spirits thinner medium. It was originally made (I believe) for working with oil paints, to thin them. Works great with colored pencils as well, though. You can find it at art supply stores, & I think Ellen Hutson & Simon Says Stamp carry it as well. HTH! :)
Hi Judy, you can find Glossy Accents anywhere that Ranger products are sold. You can do a web search to find a retailer in your area. Thanks so much! :)

Kathy Kirk they have to be wax or pil based otherwise the Gamsol won't affect them 😣 by the way you can use baby oil or Vaseline instead of Gamsol 😁 they work well too 👌
I had a similar question... what is the white pencil-like thing she's dipping in the Gamsol to use to blend? Also, it seems she has a dauber on the Gamsol. I wish all materials were listed. I use rice paper tortillions dipped in Gamsol to blend, but they don't work as well as what she seems to be using. 🤷🏻♀️

Hi Alex, thanks for the question! You may want to experiment to see what works best for you. Watercolor pencils may not be the best choice for coloring on wood. :)
It doesn't look like Nichol used a sealer on these wooden tags. You may want to consider it if you are making ornaments that will be used for many years. :)
I got two different kinds of spray sealant that says "non-yellowing" so hopefully that will work. I have many wood slices from cut tree, so I have plenty to experiment with. Cut them with a circular saw.

These couldn’t be any cuter! Great job. Ochre is Oh-Ker. (From your English teacher fan)
Also, using a sandpaper on the woodpiece first helps😊

Super-cute - I love them! Such a cool idea to stamp on wood - never thought it would work so I'm glad I watched your video :-)
Fabulosos
Preciosos! 😍
Would watercolor pencils work?
Ive ordered my wood slices ready to make these decorations and have so many ideas, to be able to stamp on them aswell is great, do you seal with varnish or anything
I bought more white Prismacolor pencils on amazon.com. They come in boxes of 6 and 12
Do you seal the wood slices with anything when you have finished decorating?
Hi..very cute deer....im going to make some for my daughter. Ive nvr heard of gamsol so i googled it....oh boy..quite a few of them . Which one did you use.amazon had gamsol oil color mineral spirits.gmsl4 spectrum noir gamsol lending solution. Etc etc. .thank you have a blessed day.
Hi! It looks like Nichol used the Gamsol starter kit by Inky Antics. It has the handy bottle with the foam top. Thank so much! :)
Does the wood need a sealer on it before you stamp or color it in?

I'm all ready to make these cute tags--what I need to know is where do I get the "glossy accents product"? Thanks! Judy

Thanks I ordered from Amazon. One more question and then I think I'm ready. What was the red color you got from nouveau for the red-nose
These are awesome. Where did you get the wood shapes?
Mary Jane Blahnik You can find them at Michaels, Craft Warehouse and Hobby Lobby ;-)
What is the stuff you used to blend the colors together?? Gamsol?!? Where do you get that?

Can you blend normal pencils with Gamsol?
You can use Gamsol to blend many different brands of colored pencils. Thanks for the question :)
Thanks for telling me what gamsol is!
Kathy Kirk they have to be wax or pil based otherwise the Gamsol won't affect them 😣 by the way you can use baby oil or Vaseline instead of Gamsol 😁 they work well too 👌
Those are cute. What us that liquid you are using with the gamsol pencil?
Dawn Taylor She is using Gamsol ;-)

Hi, what brand of paint is Nichol using for the snow eyes and nose? Ty

What size are the wooden ornaments?
Hi Donna, I'm not sure of the exact size but based on the size of the images I would say they are 2 inches across. Thanks so much :)
These are so cute...
What is the white double pointed item you are using for blending. Not understanding what you are calling it, lol.
It's a paper stump. Basically, absorbent paper wound REALLY tightly. Art supply stores sell them. HTH! :)
Love this idea! Hobby Lobby, I go
