Halloween is just around the corner! If you’re looking for some fun Halloween ideas for your next project, look no further than the October 2012 issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts Magazine. This issue has 3 features that highlight fun and exciting techniques using Ranger products.
You are always telling us how much you love the new Tim Holtz Metallic Distress Stains, so we thought you might be curious about where they come from. Recently while our team was making a fresh batch, we brought along a camera to document the process. Take a look at the following photos to get an inside look at the journey Metallic Distress Stains make before they end up in your next project!
Have you heard of the collage glue stick resist technique? The amazingly talented Kaz Hall created this video that details an innovative way to use a collage glue stick with your favorite stamps to resist ink on your surface.
Once you check out the video, you can see how this technique integrates into a full project in Kaz’s Collage Glue Stick Resist Wall Hanging. Finally, we have another incredible project for you by Candy Colwell that was also inspired by Kaz’s technique!
We hope you enjoyed all of our photos from Scrapfest 2012. When we asked what your “must have” Ranger products were when scrapbooking, you all sure did deliver! Thank you for the tremendous response and great answers!
As promised, we randomly chose 4 of you to win kits from Tim Holtz’s The Artful Flight Workshop! The winners are….

Hey everyone! It was a busy weekend, but we had an amazing time at Scrapfest this year. It’s hard to believe it has been almost a month since we shared our prep photos with you!
But alas, Scrapfest 2012 has come and gone. We hope you followed us on Facebook and Twitter throughout the weekend to see some of the great photos and updates from the event. Now that everyone’s back, we wanted to show you even more photos from our adventure. Take a look:
Have you been keeping up with Tim Holtz’s 12 Tags of 2012 feature? We sure have and many of us here at Ranger were inspired to create our own projects that featured Tim’s September technique, which creates a “cool industrial faux riveted metal look.”
So without further ado, here are Ranger’s Inspired by Tim’s 12 Tags:
It has only been two weeks since Tim Holtz was featured on the Paperclipping roundtable and now Ranger Signature Designer, Claudine Hellmuth, is also being featured! This week’s episode, entitled “Medium in a Nutshell”, is all about adding mixed media elements to scrapbooking pages.

So many exciting things happened this year at the CHA Summer show. Scrapbook.com put together this amazing video that showcases Jacquiline from LaBlanche Stamps sharing some easy and amazing techniques on collage stamping and inking.
