We often get asked about what do we use that particular product for and this week we would like to showcase Crackle Paint from Ranger Inks. This easy to use in one step paint has a built in brush and is a perfect product to create that Distressed look. Add an instant aged look to Cardstock, chipboard, grungeboard and more. This acrylic paint dries with a crackled effect that occurs on its own as it dries and comes in 24 fabulous colors. A medium application of this paint will result in smaller cracks or use a thicker coat to create larger cracks. Note - a thin application will not work as well as it needs something there to be able to crack.

Start by shaking the jar to mix the paint and if it is too thick feel free to add a small touch of water. You will want to add water only if the paint is too thick to use. If you are using unfinished wood or a natural canvas it is suggested to prime the surface first with an acrylic paint such as the Ranger Acrylic Paint Dabbers. Once your paint has crackled you might like to highlight the cracks using one of the Distress Dye Stamp pads and an ink blending tool. The matching color of the Distress inks will accent the cracks giving another wonderful look!


Check out the wonderful selection of colors.




Let us know if you would like us to Demo this product for you next time you come in!

Have we gone mad????
25% off The Entire Store for Members until Saturday May 31st! Non-Members receive 10% off of the Entire Store! ! ! Okay, you are probably wondering exactly what is going on………well we received 8 cases of product in on Friday and yes we are excited but where are we going to put it??? Well we could put it in my office along with the other cases that are waiting for space or we can clear out some products and bring in the new and that is exactly what we have chosen to do. The girls have been busy building displays showing everyone what to do with some of the wonderful new products that have arrived and we have no place to put the displays. So we cleared out the entire discount section and created a 50% off table – that is 50% off for everyone not just members. We added new products to the discount section and we still felt it looked to cluttered so we have had lots of smiling customers as they walked out with incredible buys. Sorry to say that the last Big Bite walked out the door already but we still have an amazing selection of New things and exciting things to choose from. This sale includes absolutely everything in the store including Quickutz, Tools, Embellishments, Albums – absolutely everything is on sale! Shop early for the best selection as we will not be restocking anything until Sunday June 1st.
