We here at Ranger Industries are getting into the Halloween spirit with our annual Halloween party and costume contest. We are awarding our staff prizes for the Funniest Costume, Cutest Costume, and Most Creative Costume, but this year we are also adding a brand-new category: Bloggers' Choice!
That's right, we would like YOU, our blog followers, to vote for your favorite Ranger employee Halloween costume! We will choose a vote at random and the author will receive a prize pack from Ranger, so be sure to get your vote in! We will be closing the voting at midnight EST tonight.
Without further ado, the Ranger Halloween costumes for 2011!
Poison 31 Card by Cindy Rescorl: A cool technique to try! Start with a piece of Kraft Glassine and brush on Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders until fully covered. Use a Heat It Tool to melt the pearls into the glassine. Let cool. Put the glassine piece into a texture fade to emboss.
A few weeks ago we blogged some behind-the-scenes shots from our autumn Ranger Craft Night. Now we'd like to share some of the projects that were created by our staff!
Boo Ornament by Terry Horvath. Terry adhered Tim Holtz idea-ology stickers to a piece of cardstock, then sandwiched the cardstock between two pieces of 2×2 Memory Glass, and inserted into a Memory Frame. You can make a bunch of these using different sizes of Memory Frames and Glass, then display them on a Mini Halloween Tree to make a spooktacular home decor piece!
We're featuring a Halloween card that you can make with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Black Gesso on our website this October, but perhaps you are wondering what else you can do with Black Gesso? If so, check out this video Claudine created at CHA, where she demonstrates a great way to give Inkssentials Metal Foil Tape an antique look. Claudine shows off some other great uses for Studio Black Gesso, too…. like, custom chalkboards!
Have you tried Black Gesso? If so, what are your favorite uses for it?
And finally, spice up your home décor with this beautiful cork message board, created by Lisa Dixon using fall shades of Distress Stain! We love her adorable push-pins made from Inkssentials Shrink Plastic, too!
We hope you enjoy these projects and give them a try! What fall and Halloween crafts do you have up your sleeve this October?
