Helene Huber: Best Friends Valentine

 I'm so very pleased to introduce to you the latest Rogue Redhead Designs, LLC half plate:  RRD0014 Christmas Cheer

I chose these two lovely girls from the set to stamp and color.  This is quickly becoming my new favorite stamp! 

Since I wanted to concentrate on showcasing the stamp, I chose a ready made tag and word labels from Heather Hudson's digital collage collection: My Artistic Adventures.


I used Ranger Distress Markers to color and edge papers:
vintage photo, bundled sage, picket fence, spun sugar, and wild honey 
Copic ciao Y11 for hair
Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Star pen to highlight pink roses
Clear Glaze pen on hobnails to accentuate oval
white pen
pink ribbon from stash


My color palette emphasizes a winter theme, appropriate for either Christmas or Valentine's Day, or as a birthday gift tag.  If you create Christmas all year long, this set has wonderful images to keep you going. Or you can do as I did, and extend these stamps to other occasions.  Don't you just love that?

Now is the time to snap up this plate--at its introductory special price!

Krisha: Lay Claim to Your Fate!

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone is off to a fresh start, or at least getting things caught up.

Sometimes DT work can be a challenge, and I had been wrestling around with what I wanted to do for this week.  I wanted to use my "new" stamps, but they are Christmas, and let's face it I am running on a burn out there! LOL

This started as a test of a new stamp from Rogue Redhead Designs' new Christmas Cheer (RRD 014) plate.  The test image is the spear looking image, once I stamped the image I was in love with it, and I had just used a scrap of cs.  Ok, what now? 

Needing to do something different than Christmas style cards, I chose the sentiment from Rogue Redhead Designs This N That (RRD013) plate and brought it close to the spear.  Masked off a square and shaded it with colored pencil, also adding a shade to the square itself and to the spear, still on the scrap of cs.
The main white square is raised on pop dots and then mounted to the dark brown.  This is all mounted to a card base the same color as the main square.  I added a Fleur-de-lis button with brads in the holes for a finishing touch.

All that procrastinating and this card came together so fast I am still stunned.......LOL

Barbara Washington: Get My Drift?

Today I'm sharing a blast from the past. The hours and hours of snow falling in Chicago inspired me to pull out my retired RRD Candy Kisses stamp sheet. I used the Technique Junkies technique Overstamped Bands as my background. The snowflakes were stamped in shades of blue. I added the mittens and the sentiment (both from Candy Kisses). I certainly prefer to see snow on cards rather than on the streets.
Don't forget to check out the current specials. Be safe everyone.

Barbara Washington: Happy Holidays

The current (until January 5th) Rebel Challenge is winter holidays. Since I haven't shared a Christmas card with you this year, I thought that I would do so this week. Actually I have to admit that because of my being hospitalized so long, this is the first Christmas card I have made this year.

To make my card I started with a green card base. I then stamped the music background from Behind the Scenes in red ink. I layered the background panel on a piece of glitter cardstock and then adhered the background to the card base. Using the Tim Holtz wreath die, I diecut the wreath and bow. My focal image is from the Milliner Misses stamp sheet. A little faux flocking added to the hat and scarf give her a winter look. The sentiment and background were stamped from the Bits and Pieces sheet. Using a Viva décor glitter pen, I added a few icicles to the sentiment panel.

Don't forget that we have lots of specials going on right now. Check them out HERE.

Happy Holidays from Rogue Redhead Designs

Vicki here with my last post in the Rogue Redhead Design blog for 2013.

It has been a great year being part of RRD and I am excited to be back in the new year too.

Today, I am sending a Happy Holiday wish to all of you!

"Happy Holidays"

I have been playing with a plethora of mixed media in the past couple of weeks and decided to keep it going while making this tag.  Lots of die-cuts, ink, mist and embossing to add detail to the project.

The laser cut wooden Christmas tree design was created using the Reverse Sequin Waste background stamp from the Behind the Scenes plate, watermark ink and gold embossing powder.  Love this plate of background stamps! There are four to choose from in the set.

The "Happy Holidays" sentiment is a combination of words found in the Bits and Pieces Stamp plate.  Another great set of stamps to add to your collection.  You can create many different sentiments with the large variety of words in this set.

You can find them all here in the Rogue Redhead Designs Store.
