I’m
new to paper crafting and confused over all the products
out there. What are the tools I really need to get
started? |
Ranger has taken the confusion out of getting started in
paper crafting with our
Inkssentials line of 26 essential tools for paper crafters,
rubber stampers, scrapbookers, card makers and altered
artists. Below are a few that all crafters will find
necessary for their toolbox.
The Ranger
Heat It Craft
Tool is
indispensable for all crafters and artists. Even if you
don’t do heat embossing projects with embossing powder,
the Heat It Craft Tool is essential to speed drying of
other inked, glued, and painted projects on paper, wood,
metal, shrink plastic and more.
The Ranger
Non-Stick Craft Sheet
protects your work surface and is ideal for most craft
mediums. The non-stick surface can be used as a paint or
ink palette, for embossing, painting ironing, stamping,
baking and Melt Art projects. It is heat resistant up to
400 degrees.
Ranger Paper Creasers
are essential for creating a crisp, clean fold every
time for cards and any paper engineering projects. It
also gives a crisp, clean edge when wrapping two-sided
tape or foil tape around
Memory Glass
or other art embellishments.

I’m
new to cardmaking and scrapbooking with stamps. What are
the stamping products I need to get started? |
The basic stamping products we recommend are stamp pad
inks for inking your rubber stamp designs, cleaner for
your stamps, embossing ink and embossing powder, pens
for coloring and edging, and decorative glues to add
dimension and embellish your cards and layouts.
To get started with inks, you must have a permanent dye
ink for detailed, bold, and alphabet stamp images.
Ranger
Archival Inks are
available in a variety of colors. The two indispensable
colors all stampers need are Jet Black and Sepia. For a variety of dye inks in beautiful hues,
Adirondack
will cover a broad spectrum of colors. These inks were
designed to coordinate beautifully when used with each
other.
Water-based
Cleaners are used to clean water-based dye and
pigment inks from stamps. Ranger makes two water-based
cleaners. The
Water-based Stamp Cleaner
in a 4 oz. spray bottle with a bubble gum scent is
sprayed directly on a stamp to clean off inks. It can
also be sprayed on our Rub It Scrub
It pad for
cleaning stamps using the pad.
Ranger
Cleans It All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner
was developed to clean all types of inks off of rubber
stamp surfaces: dye inks, pigment inks, and solvent
based inks. This cleaner is recommended for cleaning
Ranger Archival Ink from rubber stamps. For cleaning
solvent inks, the cleaner should be applied to the
rubber stamp for 1 minute before rubbing off. This
cleaner is acid-free and non-toxic.
Ranger Embossing Inks and Embossing Powders are a great
way to enhance your cards and scrapbook pages with the
elegance of professional embossing. Ranger has a variety
of Embossing Powders
that can create different effects such as metallic,
opaque color, interference tones, the glitz of tinsel,
earthtones, matte and textured looks and more. Used with
either the Ranger
Emboss It ink
or the
Big n’ Bossy ink pad,
one stamp will create a multitude of looks depending
upon the embossing powder used.
Using pens is an easy and quick way to color or
highlight a stamped image. Ranger
Adirondack Pigment Pens
are the perfect choice to extend the rich palette of the
Adirondack Dye Ink Pads.
Another option for pens is to try Inkssentials
Embossing Pens
which are ideal for writing titles, names, outlining and
spot embossing with embossing powders.
Decorative Glues enhance artwork by giving the extra
finish a card or scrapbook page might need.
Glossy Accents
is a 3-dimensional, clear gloss medium that can accent
and brighten artwork. It can also be used as an
embellishment glue.
Stickles
Glitter Glue adds sparkle in 30 gorgeous shades.
Liquid Pearls
is a pearl medium that adds dimension and can also be
used as an embellishment glue. |
