Hi everyone! I hope everything is going wonderful for each and every one of you! I want to thank you again for all the wonderful comments from the last two posts. They have meant the world to me!
Ranger Ink came out with several new wonderful products that were launched at CHA Create-n-Connect in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. I had the honor and thrill of a creative lifetime, of being asked to make samples for two of the new goods. Of course I said yes despite a lack of mojo, but I gave it all I had at the time and luckily four made the cut to my heart's delight! Thank you Ranger!!! Giving me this opportunity meant more than you know.
Introducing Ranger's Perfect Pearls Kit In Celebration
I was given Festival Green from the set, and just fell in love with the color...so much so, that I used every bit of it. It's perfect for so many different occasions as it's a true green.
Sample 1: Love Autumn Blessings (Using Festival Green Perfect Pearls)
 |
| The Faux Leather Technique never lets me down. It provides a beautiful iridescent color and sheen that looks so delicate, but yet makes the paper so tough and sturdy! |
Sample 2: A Joyful White Christmas (Using Festival Green Perfect Pearls)
 |
| I wasn't sure how this one would turn out. I knew I wanted to stamp a background and color it with the Perfect Pearls, but then I was worried embossing with another powder after that would make a mess, but it didn't and actually just brushed off and stayed were it needed to. |
Introducing Ranger's Six New Stickles Colors
There is Cranberry, Pink Taffeta, Mercury Glass, Ice Blue, Pine, and Champagne (not pictured). I just love the glitz
and sparkle of regular or Distress Stickles. It transforms the regular to a WOW!
Sample 3: No Bah Humbug-Card 1, Set of 2 (Using Cranberry, Pine, and Mercury Glass Stickles)
 |
| When I thought about using this gent for a Christmasy something, Ebenezer came to mind! He was recently visited by three ghosts, so he is loaded up with presents to give away on Christmas Day. |
Sample 4: Ahooga-Card 2, Set of 2 (Using Cranberry, Pine, and Mercury Glass Stickles)
***This was the sample I saw at the show, and my heart swelled with delight!
 |
| Pimp My Ride, came to mind while creating what I thought Santa's car might look like in roaring 19'25'. Can you believe I wanted to add more, but I finally stopped myself. I love the sound the horns made...much better than they sound now! |
I love all these pieces! Can't wait to get my hands on the new products!

ReplyDeleteSo fabulous! I can see why you were asked, as you rock your projects. I am trying to pick my fav and can't as they all are great. The touches you add are so fun. The white around the poinsietta one reminds me so much of the spray snow in the can! The addition of the windows on the jalopy etc etc. Can't wait to see what else you make with these new additions to the line.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love these Anita. My favourite is the "Joyful White Christmas" fantastic stuff.

ReplyDeleteI love every single project...I think your Mojo is in better shape than you think it is! My favorite is the jalopy card...such a festive, happy piece. And, the little safety pins/door handles made me grin, as did the very clever hood ornament and number plaque. It's whimsical and sparkly...two of my favorite things!
ReplyDeleteI love all these but, I have to say when I read the "horn" out loud I laughed myself silly - thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious why you do samples for Ranger. I love what you did with the jalopy die--I must dig that one out and give it another try.

ReplyDeleteAnita -- I'm sorry I'm just now getting to look at these. How amazing!!! Love the colors and the sparkle. Beautiful Joyful Christmas tag card and I think Time Traveler guy makes a perfect No Bah Humbug Scrooge (I seriously laughed when I saw that card :) ). But I adore the the jalopy all pimped out for Christmas. All of the projects are delightful and make me happy to start thinking about fall and the holidays. -- Mary Elizabeth
