Product Focus: Ranger Scrub It & Craft Scrubbie

A couple of months ago, one of my friends, Jan, mentioned a Ranger product and asked me to bring it in for her. She had tried it out and loved it.

The product was Ranger's Rub It Scrub It. It is a stamp scrubbie and it works so great. I've had a few different versions of these and I have really liked them, but my beef with them was always that they sprayed wet; often times onto my newly finished stamping project. Eventually I got smart and kept it way out of the way, but that was kind of a pain too. The main difference that I've noticed with this scrubber is that the bristles are quite hard; they're not even really bristles. I'm not sure how to describe them, but they clean like mad and they don't spray, so I'm OK with not being able to describe them. It doesn't have an outside case and I was worried that the cleaner would seep out or drip but it doesn't. This has become my new favorite scrubber!!

And another great point: It's only $4.

While I was reading a tutorial on the Ranger site, it mentioned needing a Craft Scrubbie, so I looked into that. It's almost like a very fine pumice stone and you use it to clean off the ink and glue from your fingers. I was quite surprised to find out it works really well too. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as most Ranger products are quite good. And at $5, it's very reasonable too.


I've decided that in addition to sharing projects I've made, that I would share information about products too. It's always great to hear someone talk about something cool. Lots of the cool stuff I get to bring in and play with are actually suggestions from friends and customers. And to thank Jan for the great tip about the Rub It Scrub It, I am going to give her a Craft Scrubbie. I liked it so much, that I opened two by mistake, so I have an extra just waiting to give Jan the next time I see her. Thanks, Jan!!

For my blog readers, if you are interested in these product, I will sell the two of them together for $8 instead of the regular $9. Just let me know that you'd like to order a Cleaning set.

More New Stuff

I got a new order the other day (and there is another one which should arrive today or tomorrow). While there isn't a ton of new to the market product, I have some new to me stuff and some old goodies.



Claudine Hellmuth has designed these stamp sets. There is a foam set which has the "base" for the stamp and then another coordinating set which just contains the matching outlines. I never used to use foam sets because they didn't stamp well, but I took an awesome class a few years ago where we stamped on canvas bags using acrylic paint and the foam stamps work so great with that. So, I wanted to try a couple sets and see how they work with Claudine's acrylic paint (which is incredible) and the Sticky Back Canvas (which I also love). Hopefully, I will have some samples to show. Eventually.


The blending cardstock for the Copic Markers. I will bring in the full packs (125 sheets for $60), but I'm also going to break open a package and sell the sheets for $0.55 each.



More of the bulk Mini Misters ($1.75 each) and I wanted to try these Craft Scrubbies ($5.00). I haven't heard of them before, but I saw them on the Ranger site when I was looking at projects. They are supposed to help get ink off your hands. I'll give them a try and let you know if they work, but I've found most Ranger products do exactly what they say they will do!


A couple Tim Holtz dies which fit in to the Ornament dies ($10)

I have a few Tim Holtz Snowflakes/Snowmen folders ($11.00).


The set of Copic Multiliners. These are such great black markers in a variety of thicknesses. ($21)

If there is something you would like, just post or email me and I'll put it aside for you and not sell it. Hopefully, I'll have some more cool stuff in a day or two!
