Design Team Ranger 2007

June 20th, 2007

I have mentioned Ranger’s Design Team on this blog before.  Last March I flew to New Jersey to spend a weekend with Tim Holtz, Robin Beam and the rest of the awesome Ranger staff.  We learned a lot about their fabulous products and amazing techniques.  Our final project was to create a scrapbook page creating every element.  We didn’t use any scrapbook papers.  It was a real challenge and a lot of fun.  This pic shows me with Tim sharing my page with the rest of the Design Team.  It’s NOT great picture of me (frizz!) but I’m up front with Tim!

Sunflower and Circles

June 5th, 2007

This card was created using Penscore.  This really cool material sold by Ranger can be heated and then pressed into objects.  The warm material will take on the impression of the object. The sunflower cards was made by pressing Penscore into Sequin Scrim.  What is Sequin scrim?  It’s the material left over after sequins are punched out.  It can be used to add REALLY cool accents to cards!!

If you want some (it’s hard to find in craft stores!) check out my auctions on Ebay.  My seller name is “Stamps3070″  I am selling three feet for 99 cents!!
