I am SO excited to see everyone getting on the TAC bandwagon. Can't help getting excited over this year's catty!
Great reviews Keri!
Y'all can PM any TAC demo and they can get you a catty and place orders for you. Also to Canada- you'd just have to pay extra shipping for the demo to send it to you.
Love the samples of your cards. Would love to have some. How do I contact Jovi for a catalog?
Thank
daisy
You can send her a PM by clicking on the little envelope in the top right of the screen and then in left of that new panel you will see "send new message" then put jovi in the to box and she will I am sure get back to you ASAP!
I ordered a catalogue a couple days ago - now I really can't wait to see it!!! I have been a die-hard SU fan/demo for years, but am considering the switch. I'm hearing GREAT things about TAC - I can hardly wait! I limited my first SU order to $150, because I wanted to wait and see what TAC has to offer before I go any further. Oh my gosh - it's like waiting for my SU catty all over again!!! When will it come? :confused:
I just received my TAC catty for allamericanstamper and am now torn as how to split up my budget for the new SU catty AND now lots of TAC stuff!
I order from Allamericanstamper too!! She is great to work with, and TAC is awesome! The coloring in their catty is so intense. I love it. They have way more accessories than we offer.
Question is "How can we afford all these awesome stamp companies?"
Woo Hoo glad everyone is enjoying the stamps! The new catty this year is awesome with a ton of examples and TAC has really been fast on shipping!!! I just got a bunch of new sets in and I can't wait to stary playing!!!!
I'm in Canada and should be receiving my catty from AllAmericanstampers today...I hope! I can't wait to see these stamps. I'm just not sure how the ordering will go if (and probably when) I order something. Don't you just hate long weekends when you're waiting for something to come in the mail and you have to wait that extra day because of no mail delivery? ARG!!!!

I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience wtih TAC. I'm not a demo but have one and have been buying from her for about 6 mos. now. I'm the proud owner of about 20 TAC stamp sets and keep mine on plastic sheets in a binder. They are much easier to store than all the mounted stamp sets from SU of which I have over 150 and am planning to become an SU demo this month. I love seeing what you do with TAC.

I've been with TAC for four years and can honestly say this is the most exciting year yet! But, the quality and great service has always been there! :grin:
It is so exciting though to see how, once given the chance, these unmounted stamps are getting a thumbs up! The value and space saved is unbelieveable! And you still get great quality!!
craftygirl04...I do hope you get your catty today!! I am feeling your pain of waiting for airmail to come. sigh....
Chris, I got my catty. Thanks for sending it out right away! I have to go now so I can make a coffee and browse through the catty. Oh, I'm soooooo... excited!

The Angel Company rocks- between the great catalgue, the fast shipping and the super customer service I am so happy that I chose to sign up with the company! I especailly love the storage aspect of the company - I have 75 sets so far and they only take up a very very small section of the shelf!! I have yet to be disappointed with anything that I or my customers have purchased so far - the hostess benefits are super and they offer great specials too! If anyone is in the need of a catty please feel free to contact me - I am hoping to get a website up and running when they catalog goes online in August sometime!
Been buying TAC for years. Love them! And the fact that they are unmounted. More room!!! I probably have as many TAC stamp sets as I do SU, but...chose to sign with SU because of the style TAC has gone to. I am not the 'artsy' type...though I love the looks of it....I just can't 'get it'. But, my TAC demo sent me the new catalog and I like it much better this year than last. My party will be in Oct., my wishlist is long! And, ya gotta love all the new papers and embellishments!!!
I wish TAC's catty was online. I also tried to find a demo on their site, but you have to submit your information or call them. You can't just look up demos in your area like on the SU! website. I don't really want to submit my name/address/etc. just to find a demo. I also tried searching the SCS website for people with occupations listed as "TAC Demo." The problem with that is a lot of people don't have their location in their profile...and I'd like to find someone near me, if possible. I just want to see a catalog!

The company is working on getting an online system set up. We are hoping it will be up and running sometime next month!!!
Thank you, Keri for starting this thread. I have had the new catty for 1 wk- before getting SU's catty from my Sis, and I have several sets I like...more than in SU, as far as NEW... I still have some *old* SU sets I want yet. Also like their papers and embellishments, they are GREAT. I am contemplating hobby demo if that is a possibility. Should I pm Jovi; or she can pm me!?
Yes, this is a possible. TAC's quarterly is only $100. You can easily spend $30 bucks a month on stamping supplies. You earn back 25% commission or can do it at 30% for a demo order.
Help, from what I've been able see, TAC stamps look to be up my alley, but I am unable to locate a TAC demo in north Orange County. TAC wrote to me saying the closest demo they found was in Riverside, not close at all.
Oh man, I just found this thread and I think I held my breath the whole time I read the original post because I am awaiting the arrival of my first order and I am so excited!
Thanks for the reviews Keri, now I am off to see your gallery

Woo Hoo to you too! What did you pick out?? I like seeing what everyone chooses!
In case those of you who like the TAC stamps didn't know, there is a site that you can go to to see examples of lots of cards and layouts done using (mostly) TAC stamps. It's a great site and has a message board as well.
My experience has been similar to yours, Keri -- *love* the new catalog, super-fast shipping, super-nice demo (hi, Patti! :mrgreen: ), well-made stamps that do their 'stuff' beautifully, super order-and-hostess bennies. What more could a stamper ask?? I can tell TAC is going to be getting a lot more of my spendin' cash in the future! The new printed papers are stunning, and I love the fact that they have the 8x8" size. I don't scrap, so smaller is better for me, storage-wise -- though I certainly don't have any trouble slicing into 12x12" sheets. ;)
The accessories look like fun, though I personally could use a bit more descriptive detail in that area. Since I don't scrap, I have no idea what some of these things are used for, what *size* they are, etc. I'm also a big fan of textured card-stock, and am looking forward to playing with some of the Bazzill monochrome packs when my latest order arrives. I'm *hoping* the colors will coordinate with my SU inks and markers -- time will tell on that one. I do have the little Frutti Fusion collection of papers, and am having fun using them and find that some of the Bold Brights and Earth Elements colors work very well with them. On the whole, my experience with TAC has been *very* positive!

It should be any day now!! :grin: Hang in there!! I am going bonkers here on vacation because I just don't get to spend time looking at my catty and playing with my new stamps!! I'm sure they'll be arriving at my house this week as well!
WOW ~ let me start of saying thank you to Keri for posting a thread about her wonderful experience she had and her review using TAC products. Like Keri mentioned �the stuff sells itself�!
Thank you Keri, Lauren and Rachelhope13 for posting links to your cards you made, they are wonderful. Everyone who loves TAC and or is curious about it should also check out A Shade of Blue. We also have some wonderful samples in our SCS gallery.
Thank you to all the ladies who sent me private messages today� you all kept me busy! Your catalogs will be in the mail tomorrow morning and I�ll also send you a pm tomorrow as well.
If you should ever have any questions please feel free to pm me or one of the other fabulous TAC demos that we have here at SCS. ;)
The absolute must have set, IMO, is the Hip Hardware. I love the idea that I can stamp and emboss that hardware in metallic EP's. I am full of ideas for that set. I ordered several sets, but I would have ordered that one set if I had had to go without groceries!
Yes, this is a possible. TAC's quarterly is only $100. You can easily spend $30 bucks a month on stamping supplies. You earn back 25% commission or can do it at 30% for a demo order.
I just want to clarify a tiny bit here - the minimum requirement to remain active with TAC is $100 in regular-priced merchandise every 4 months. Yes, you get 25% commission back on your orders. And yes, demonstrators do get a 30% personal discount BUT those discount orders do NOT count toward your $100 to stay active. So as a mainly-hobby demo, I place my own orders at regular price, get the 25% commission back, and it goes toward my requirement. There's only a 5% difference anyway!
So yes, it is VERY possible to be a hobby demo! Breaks down to $25/month!
oh, I forgot to ad - annabelle, I love Hip Hardware too! Making your own "metallic hardware" by embossing is SOOO much cheaper than actually buying the metal bookplates, etc. When I buy it, I tend to hoard it cause it costs so much! LOL
