NEW: Melt Art, Inkssentials Surfaces, and Inkssentials Pipettes

Rolling right along with our new product announcements, making their debut in the Ranger booth at CHA Summer 2012…

We’ve got some exciting new designs in our popular Melt Art Texture Treads line! These seasonal designs feature leaves, snowflakes and holly leaves in fun retro patterns, perfect for your Melt Art and polymer clay holiday projects. Each Texture Tread features a unique “mirror image” imprint of the pattern, so you can choose to have an embossed or debossed pattern!

And to make working with your Ranger Melting Pot easier and even more fun, we’ve developed the Melt Art Project Craft Sheet. The Project Craft Sheet is made of the same material as our beloved Non-Stick Craft Sheet, but it has been die cut for an exact fit inside the Melting Pot. Built-in tabs allow for safely moving the Project Craft Sheet in and out of the Pot for heating and melting small projects. It’s ideal for use when melting UTEE or Ranger Embossing Powders onto metal findings and jewelry. Each pack contains two Project Craft Sheets.

We have some exciting additions to the Inkssentials Surfaces line as well:

We’ve added Kraft Cardstock in both 8.5″ x 11″ and 12″ x 12″ sizes to the line, and we are now offering Specialty Stamping Paper in 12″ x 12″ as well.

Furthermore, all three of our tag surfaces (manila, kraft and black) are now offered in two new sizes: #10 (4.125″ x 8.5″) and super-gigantic #12 (5.125″ x 10.5″)!! These new larger sizes will have 10 tags in each pack.

If you’re looking for a unique way to ink up these giant tags and new surfaces, check this cool tool out:

Introducing the Inkssentials Pipettes! These handy Pipettes will allow you to transfer fluid materials such as Tim Holtz Adirondack Color Wash, Dylusions Ink Spray and Distress Stain from their original containers into a Mister, Mini Mister, or Tim Holtz Water Brush! Each Pipette has measurement marks on the side for precise filling.

WOW! Loving the new products!
Jennie P. on July 11, 2012 at 5:07 pm said:

I’ve had those pipette things for years. I used them for all sorts of things like putting essential oils into concoctions and also measuring out bleach into spray bottles. But, I never thought about using them for Ranger inks!!! Why didn’t I think of that?

Love those snowlake treads and the craft sheet for the melting pot is genius!
Nick on July 11, 2012 at 5:22 pm said:

sorry guys but not very impressed – I have been cutting out my own liners for years and get 4 out of a sheet I buy from our Poundshops (like your Dollar Stores) and those pipettes are cheap enough to buy – I hope you won’t be putting a huge mark up on them and fleece us crafters as per usual (not just you but loads of ‘craft’ suppliers)
Beverly on July 11, 2012 at 5:26 pm said:

Looking forward to trying your Kraft paper and the pipettes are genius – didn’t even think of that use.

Thank you for thinking of all the details and then creating them for us.
