Hello friends! I'm super excited to introduce you all to a brand new program from Ranger Ink called Letter It™! What is this program you ask? Letter It™ is a carefully curated collection of stamps, pens, embossing powders, pearl powders, mediums, tools and surfaces designed to work together so you can create beautifully personalized cards, tags, gifts, and more for all of life’s occasions! You can visit Ranger Ink for more details and to view the complete collection.
I was invited by Scrapbook.com to use the products from this new program to create and share some inspiration with you. Today, I'm sharing two Thank You cards that use the pearl powders (Perfect Pearls), embossing powders, stamps and metallic markers.

Perfect Pearls with Ranger Ink Letter It™
First off I want to introduce you to the Letter It™ Perfect Pearls. If you aren't familiar with Perfect Pearls, here's a bit of info about them. They are a pigment powder that was specially developed with a built in resin and can be used either wet or dry. They can be used with Perfect Medium Ink and Letter It™ Clear Stamps or over Letter It™ Medium Pens to create your own hand lettering, doodles, and designs. They can be combined with water and a water brush or paintbrush for painted pearlescent watercolor effects.
To get started on the background for this card take a piece of the Ranger Letter It™ Grey Cardstock and position a stencil on top of it. Use low tack tape to hold the stencil in place. Next, take the Perfect Medium ink pad and stamp it all over the stencil. You are applying the ink through the stencil. Once you have good coverage of the ink over the stencil, remove the stencil. Next, take the brush included in the set and brush the Perfect Pearl powder over the entire piece of paper. Brush off the excess powder, spritz the entire piece with water and then heat set it with a heat tool.
Heat Embossing with Ranger Ink Letter It™
Next we are going to do some heat embossing using some of the new Letter It™ Embossing Powders and Stamps. For these cards I used the Thank You Clear Stamp Set. I am so in love with the beautiful handwritten script using on all of the stamp sets that are part of this collection! This program has 6 different stamp sets with the following themes: Thank You, Baby, Birthday, Wedding, Hello/Get Well, and Congrats. They pretty much have every occasion covered!
Before you do any stamping, rub over the entire piece with a powder tool to help prevent the embossing powder from sticking anywhere other than the ink. Next, place your stamp onto the Letter It 4x3 Acrylic Stamping Block and stamp your sentiment using the Letter It Embossing Ink Pad. Sprinkle the stamped image with embossing powder (for this first card I used Navy), tap off the excess powder and then heat set the image using a heat tool.
Now check out the shimmer and shine from the Perfect Pearls and embossing powder!
A bit more tilt so you can see the shine even more!
On this second card, I mixed it up a bit by using different colors. For the card base, I used the Letter It™ Ivory Cardstock. I then used the same technique as above, I just used different colors of Perfect Pearls and embossing powder.
I used the Perfect Bronze pearl powder. I then stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it using the Gunmetal Embossing Powder.
For a final touch of interest on both cards, I used some of the new Metallic Markers. On the blue card, I added some highlights to the letters and drew a free hand border around the outside edge using the Silver Metallic Marker. On the cream card, I used the Gold Metallic Marker.
I wanted to again try to show you how shiny and pretty these cards are in real life.
I just love the shimmer and shine!
