introducing...my brand new...


Ranger embossing powders!

they come in 6 
of my signature archival colors...





here's the official press release...
and THE BEST NEWS...

they are READY & they are shipping 
on MONDAY September 15th!



believe me...
I am OVER THE MOON 
E X C I T E D 
about these powders...
YES...ALL CAPS!

buckle up!
I don't want you to fall off your chair...

I'm so excited, 
that I actually filmed a video 
to show them to you!

ps...
you'll even hear Rick!

please ignore the glare, 
my studio has skylights, 
which I LOVE, 
but they make photos & videos a challenge...

if you click this link, 
you'll be magically transported to 



here are some photos of the projects I showed in the video...

you'll see how to create custom embellishments,
 like this cute cardinal...


and how to use embossing powders
 to alter many surfaces...

I REALLY REALLY 
REALLY LOVE 
the embossing powders 


here's an example...
it starts as this...


 with some embossing powders, CFA & die cuts, 
it gets transformed to this...

look closely & you'll see that remnant rubs work well on embossing powders...

archival inks are GREAT for stamping over embossing powders...

that's the watering can embossing powder on the spoon...
cornflower blue on the flower & metal base...
leaf green on the leaves & red geranium on the mug...


 the next photo shows the embossing powders used on clearly for art blackout, with the new faux graniteware technique...

the video shows the ingredients you'll need to try this technique...

and I will always love the tattered florals die...
BUT...
be warned...

this is ADDICTING...




this next piece was super fun...
you'll see fern green embossing powder
I used tree branch powder to create the flower, to alter the custom fastener 
for the flower center & a leaf...
orange blossom embossing powder 
customizes the ornate frame
I used it on the leaf on the right...


and the last...



THANKS to everyone at RANGER!
you have made me 
so HAPPY...

embossing powders are awesome 
for cards, 
tags,
art journals, 
altering multiple surfaces & 
for home decor projects!

in the next few weeks
I'll be sharing LOTS more info...
projects, tips, hints & techniques 
using these powders...


NOW...

Been saving bottles all year to alter for Halloween-need I say more. Going to watch the video to be further inspired. Thinking of combining some of these ideas on the bottles-it is going to be spooktacular!

Evelyn S. said...

Granite??? I love altering bottles, but have done it only with alcohol inks. This looks wonderful...and those colors are fabulous! I don't use EP very often, but how could anyone resist these colors?

Heidi said...

Oh Wendy you have done it again! These are amazing! I have heard a trip back to Texas is in the works, can not wait to take another class with you. I have managed to acquire some of your new product lately but this embossing powder blew me out of my boots!

OMG!!! I LOVE all of the art you made! It's not like I'm new to embossing powders, but, what the freak...clearly, I'm new to the Wendy way of doing EP's!!! And your colors are so luscious...they make your projects just,...wow! I cannot WAIT to try the faux granite technique...matter of fact, it's 12:15 a.m., and I'm still tempted to go downstairs and try it with some ep's I have on hand right now! I wouldn't want to fall asleep with the heat gun in my hand...and that's liable to happen, since I've already taken my bedtime meds! Lol! Otherwise I'd be down there trying it. Tomorrow a.m., I'm there! And I would LOVE a chance at winning the pack of new colors...I sure don't have any glorious bright ones like those!!! Thanks for the wonderful video!

Jen said...

Oh, and I ditto the request for selling them in larger sized jars!! I can most DEFINITELY see myself covering large surfaces with this stuff, and going through quite a lot of it at a time! Would like to have little snap ware containers of it full of all the colors, ready to spoon onto my projects, like Jennifer McGuire does with her favorite powders! Lol!
