Distress Stains by Ranger!


Distress Stains are fluid water-based dyes for paper and other porous surfaces. They come with a built-in spring-loaded dabber top, which makes them perfect for quick and easy ink coverage of backgrounds and larger areas.

Best of all, Distress Stains are so versatile: you can mist them with water to achieve mottled effects, or you can layer them for more vibrant, saturated areas of color!  You can even use them on outdoor projects (but we recommend first sealing the project with a weatherproof sealer).

These are available in 12 of the "best" Distress Ink colors:   Vintage Photo, Broken China, Antique Linen, Faded Jeans, Weathered Wood, Wild Honey, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Forest Moss, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint and Spun Sugar!

Perfect Pearls "Confections" by Ranger!


Perfect Pearls by Ranger Inks are pigment powders that give a pearlescent finish on paper, cardstock or other surfaces such as fabrics.

The powders can be used in a variety of ways, however Perfect Medium has been designed to work with Perfect Pearls - no mixing required!!

You can create dazzling pearlescent effects with Perfect Pearls!  Specially developed with a built-in resin, Perfect Pearls are easy to use wet or dry.  Mix with watercolors, inks, acrylic paints and other mediums for radiant results! 

The color of the background will affect any type of coloring medium and this is the case when using Perfect Pearls. The colors will look very different on dark backgrounds than they do on light backgrounds. The finished effect will be dramatic against a dark background and more subtle against a light background.

This kit includes four coordinating powders (pink gumball, sour apple, grape fizz, blue raspberry), one detail brush, one dusting brush and one Perfect Medium Pad.

We also have these fantastic colors in individual jars!

Hand-washable, the paints are ideal for fabric applications such as wearable art, quilting and home décor projects (you will need to seal these projects!!).

Okay...so seriously we cannot keep these in stock!  I, Laura, managed to fight off some of our customers and grab a few for myself but it was touch and go!!  In fact, I used them on a wedding page while at a scrap retreat this past weekend and managed to complete 47 double-page layouts (yeah me)!

Spellbinders Nestabilities Book: Basics & Beyond!


The front cover of this book does not do it justice in any way so we put a picture in below of just some of the cool ideas that await you in this book. 

Take a close look at the picture - do you see the baby bibs that were made into a banner?  So cute!!!  And they could easily be adapted for an anniversary, wedding or birthday.  We especially love the cute little card on the lower right hand corner.  What an adorable way to do up a card!  We have visions of "thank you notes" for this one!

So, not only does this book have the coolest ideas it also has some awesome tips/techniques - like selective die cutting (this is just way awesome - never thought of it!!), making frames (not for you traditionalists), pyramid-images (you won't believe your eyes) and making a rose (so easy but you will amaze everyone!) - and MORE, MORE, MORE!

This book has so many ideas you won't know which one to do first - create a gift bag, whip up a Christmas tree, learn to use those mini scraps that we all have in our drawers, mix up your styles and let your imagination run wild.
