A Great Good Tuesday Morning Everyone and what an appropriate title today because if you haven't heard we just had two new stamp sets released.
I've used 3 stamps from the Just Sayin' stamp plate. I just love the quirky vintage charm of this plate and just like all our other stamp sets these two new ones are just as versatile.
Don't you just love that surprised look on the little boys face?
Thanks for stopping by today, hope you've been joining in on the challenges. The latest one closes Feb 5th.
Who knows you might even get caught being a Rogue Rebel and get featured on our blog.
Happy Creating--

Jennifer Ingle: Just Sayin'
Hi! I'm Jingle and I am SUPER excited to be guest designing with this fabulous January release for Rogue Redhead Designs! When Shar ever told me the name of this set...well, let's just say it was a match made in heaven! You see, I may or may not be rather known for using that particular phrase. Excessively. Just Say'n. Here is the first card I created with this super fun set!

I'll be honest with you. I'm NOT a cat person. Actually, I'm horrifically allergic to them. It's bad. REALLY bad. Just say'n. HOWEVER...there is just something about a fabulous cat stamp that gets me every time! This one is SO CUTE!

I stamped him on white bristol and cut him out so I could pop him up over the fibers (May Arts). I stamped the background with the wonderful flower stamp. I love that!

And then, well, of course that sentiment just HAD to pop, so I stamped and cut that out, as well! I hope you have enjoyed my fun little card and I can't WAIT to share more with you soon!
Jingle Out!

Simple Set Saturday: Simply Aged
Today, we are going to make some really simple vintage cards with the new RRD Just Sayin' plate.
We'll start off making a card with the Old Gent from the Just Sayin' plate.
First, gather all your supplies.
Now, using a cotton ball or sponge, pick up your lightest color of ink - Antique Linen - and sponge on some distress ink around the image. For the best results, after inking the cotton ball, apply the ink from the mask outward onto the card.
Move to your next darkest color of ink, Old Paper, and apply this ink around the edges of where you left off with the Antique Linen. Once, this is complete, apply some Tea Dye where the Old Paper layer finished. You should be creating an ever darkening halo around your image.
Finish off your aging process, by applying Brushed Corduroy around the edges of the front panel. Be sure not to be too even in your application to preserve the aged look.
RRD always prides itself on including great details on our stamps. Some of those details would be hard to cut in a mask. To get to those places that you could not cut out, pick up the lightest color ink - Antique Linen - on a water brush and slowly apply to the open areas. In the case of Old Gent, these areas are the space between his legs and the enclosed space in between his arm and body. You can also use the inked water brush to fill in any white spots around where the mask may not have been cut close enough.

That's it! Add a sentiment if you like and adhere the panel to your crisp white card and you are all done! Once you start making these fun cards, it will be hard to stop!
Here are some of the other cards I made for this set:


Hope you will try out this easy to do technique! If you want to play along, add your creation to our linky.
We'll start off making a card with the Old Gent from the Just Sayin' plate.

- white cardstock, 1 piece 8.5" x 5.5" for the card base and one piece cut 4.0" x 5.25" for the front panel
- Ranger Distress Inks in the following hues: Antique Linen, Old Paper, Wild Honey Tea Dye, and Brushed Cordoroy
- post-it notes or scrap paper and repositionable adhesive for masking
- water brush for detailing
- cotton balls, sponges or daubers for applying ink
- Memento or StazOn ink for main image





That's it! Add a sentiment if you like and adhere the panel to your crisp white card and you are all done! Once you start making these fun cards, it will be hard to stop!

Skating Through Life: Stephanie Severin
Frosty is the theme for this month's Rebel Challenge ... to use Vellum in your design. I embossed vellum for my background panels and stamped my sentiment on vellum too (clear embossing keeps it from smearing).
All stamps are from Rogue Redhead Designs Snow Hugs set. The Sketch is this week's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge. Papers are Basic Grey's Kissing booth with a little colored pencil highlighting and the addition of a punched silvery moon.

Snow Hugs Valentine: Laura Liddell
I wanted to show how the Snow Hugs plate was also very suitable for Valentines Day and need not be put away once Christmas is over.
I have made a heart insert in the card and covered the card in gold printed vellum. This ties in with the current Rogue Challenge, to use vellum. Cut out the vellum over the heart window to reveal more clearly the lovely image from Snow Hugs plate. I have paper pieced the red hearts so they would feature more. I have also used the Hugs and kisses stamp from the same plate and finally embellished with some ribbon and a jeweled heart.
There is still time to join in this challenge so why not give it a go?

Beverly G: Vellum Spotlight
A Great Good Tuesday Morning Everyone--
I'm following Penny's post with another girl from the Milliner Misses stamp set and I've pulled some patterned vellum from my stash because as you know by now our new challenge this month is #7: Frosty-use Vellum.
The little dragonfly on our girls hat inspired me to pull these colors. I always think of blue greens and purples when I think of dragonflies and in my stash I just happened to have some tiny dragonflies. They are actually silver, but I dabbed this one with my gold Sharpie Paint Pen. I stamped the girl in Soft Suede on the front of the vellum, colored with Spica Glitter Pens in purple and teal on the back to maintain the softness, cut out the circle and very carefully went around the edge of the vellum with the Spica Gold Glitter Pen. I sponged a couple of scraps of resist paper with Bermuda Bay ink and border punched, tied the bow, attached the vellum circle to the pattern paper mat with a glue dot behind the dragonfly, attached the scallop and bow mat, and there you have it.
With Shar's, Penny's, and my examples of some of the uses of vellum I'm hoping this will inspire you to come and join in on our 7th Challenge this month. Get creative, I bet you can out do us.
Happy Creating--

Penny Bennington: Fashionable Vellum

So what did I do with my piece then?

Rebel Challenge #7: Frosty - Use Vellum
Thanks to everyone who played our last Rebel Challenge! It was great to see all the great ways you came up with to use grids!
This month, we've got another fun assignment for you! This time we are asking you to go

1) You can use any products to participate in this challenge. You do not have to use Rogue Redhead Designs products but it would be fabulous if you did!
2) Your submission must include some stamping.
3) Please read the directions for the challenge. We like to add a twist here and there. Your submission must include vellum in some way.
4) Links that are not to a single post (ie only to a general blog post) will not be accepted.
5) All submission posts need to include a link back to this challenge to be eligible for the challenge prize.
One challenge winner will be drawn randomly from the qualified submissions for a $15.00 US voucher at the Rogue Redhead Designs Store.
This challenge will end on February 5, 2012. The winner will be announced on February 8, 2012 and will have until March 8, 2012 to claim their prize.
Here's some easy ideas to get you started!
You can create a frosted panel like the one below. This card is all about layers. The colored image was covered by a layer of plain vellum, stamped with a sentiment. The layer of vellum was then framed by a piece of patterned paper.
Stamps: Sitting Girl and sentiment from Relish Reading (Rogue Redhead Designs)
You could also try a vellum overlay like this simple card.
This card has a simple window, lined with vellum which has been stamped with a sentiment.
Through the frosted window you can see a hint of the bright flowers inside. Once the card is opened, all the vibrant color shines through.
Stamps: Gaillardia from Floriculture plate and sentiment from Relish Reading plate (Rogue Redhead Designs)
You can also use vellum for some interesting spotlighting and layering options.
To create a reverse spotlight, I punched out portions of the vellum to reveal the full colored image.
To give a feel of water, I layered the vellum at the bottom of the oval after lightly sponging it with Distress Ink.
All together it looks like this:
Stamps: Beach Boy and Beach Girl and sentiment from Beach Babes plate (Rogue Redhead Designs)

Jean Franks Beck: Victorian Valentine
With Valentine's Day approaching, I couldn't resist creating a feminine little card in the Victorian scrap style. I used lots of images from the Floriculture plate, along with a sentiment from Snow Hugs. The florals are colored with Copics. The background is some patterned paper that I ran through a postmark embossing folder. A little heart paper doily frames it up.

Deb Corder: Je t'aime!
Wow..this is my first post for the new year here at Rogue Redhead Designs! I hope you found some time to ink up your RRD rubber over the holidays!
It seems like FOREVER since I did any tags....and then I had to stop and laugh. I did all 12 days of Tim tags...silly me! Still the urge to do a tag over took me tonight.
The background text and boy come from RELISH READING and the sentiment is part of FLORICULTURE. I tucked a heart under his arm in preparation for Valentine's day!
Stamps: Rogue Redhead Designs RELISH READING & FLORICULTURE (sentiment)
Ink: Archival Jet Black, Distress Inks
Paper: tag
Accessories: ribbon/rhinestones; Prima rose & butterfly, copper spray, heart Nestabilities
