CHA Winter Product Releases

Some new products I was intrigued with from Winter CHA:

RANGER -- new fillable/refillable markers for their alcohol inks:

 

I got to watch Tim Holtz demonstrating these up close but was so enamored, I forgot to take a photo!  I guess after my buddy, Lisa Strahl, filled an empty Copic marker with Alcohol Ink last summer, Ranger figured they should make their own markers!  The markers are sold empty, so you can fill them with whatever Alcohol Inks you may already own.  You can also custom mix your own colors or fill one with clear blender solution, for some really neat effects.

If you like TIM HOLTZ Grungeboard, you'll love his new Grunge PAPER:

 

Gives a LOT more possibilities, I think -- I can't wait to try this!

ART INSTITUTE GLITTER -- For a girl who loves sparkles, I was in heaven here!  This gorgeous tree had exquisite butterflies made from their Fantasy Film and glitters (you may be able to see all the sparkle better if you click on the photo for a larger view):

 

A gorgeous heart made of their Fantasy Film:

 

I wasn't aware they also carry beads and fabulous vintage glass glitters <sigh>!  I also got to meet owner, Barbara Trombley -- the self proclaimed original glitter queen!  What lovely ladies she and her demonstrator were!

CLEARSNAP has 8 new beatuiful metallic paints, with more colors on the way:

 

Packaged in a nail-polish type of jar with a nib applicator.  Primarily for paper but can also be used on just about any surface, with heat setting.

 

The fine tips make it easy to color in very small areas.  Very cool!

Some of my favorite bling, rhinestones & pearls -- KAISER CRAFT'S booth is always full of beautiful projects and immaculate in white . . . everthing!  It really makes all the gorgeous colors pop.  Their make-and-take project is always wonderful, with a mile long wait, but my friend Lori and I made it by first thing one morning.

 

I'll be back with photos of some friends I had a chance to spend time with!
