LAYERING PATTERNS | COPIC COLORED | FUN DETAILS | SUPPORTING SMALL CONTENT CREATORS | #TEAMTINYSWEET


Today, I'm participating in the #teamtinysweet video hop. I have this super quick blog post to share but I'd love it if you hop over to my video and take a peek. https://youtu.be/K_o3Y2fMco0
 Delaney Jane Cards
This hope helps support small channels that are not monetized. This allows you to find new and interesting channels to watch and it allows us as small creators to gain more exposure and grow. YouTube does not advertise on channels under a certain threshold of viewed hours and subscribers so what this means for you is, video after video after video with no "skip ad" ! All you have to do to find the other participants is type #teamtinysweet in the YouTube search bar or click the hashtag here.



 There are many reasons why today's video falls into the sweet category for me personally beside the image and design of my card. I can't wait to chat with you in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by and I'd love it if you subscribed and liked my video in a show of support and encouragement for myself. Thank you so much.



I'd encourage you to check out my friend Amanda over at Rise and Procraftinate. If you watch my video you will see why I'd specifically recommend her channel. You can find her here: Rise and Procraftinate



This video / blog is a not sponsored. Confused about why I named it all Delaney Jane Cards if my name is Renee’? This entire thing, shop, YouTube channel, blog, etc, it is all named after our angel daughter who passed away in 2013. I made her some promises when she passed away. I would spread joy, I would make her proud and I would speak her name daily. This is one way we choose to honor her memory, and help me keep my promises.

I played with the new A Bride's Bouquet from Picket Fence Studios today. I used my zig clean color real brush markers to "watercolor" the image.

COLLABORATION WITH RISE AND PROCRAFTINATE | USING BACKGROUNDS | REMEMBERING IT IS ONLY PAPER | DJC


I had the opportunity to collaborate with my favorite YouTuber. No offense to any other cardmakers or crafter creators but my friend Amanda at Rise and Procraftinate (my favorite YouTuber) and I are sort of in this YouTube journey together. We have decided to collaborate each month to challenge our own creativity but to also help inspire our viewers. If you haven't had the opportunity to check her out, I'd encourage you to do so: Rise and Procraftinate


 What our collaboration for the month of January 2020 was, to create and send each other three backgrounds and to create cards with the items we received. You can watch the entire process video here: https://youtu.be/Hq_DkYhCudU


Let me say, Amanda and I have very different styles but this was the most fun I have had with some cards for quite some time. It was also one of the most challenging.

 This first card was easy for me. The background was stunning with the saturated bold colors and the foil accents she added. So finding an image and coloring it to coordinate was super simple.

The second card was also easier for me. The background was heat embossed in gold and it had this super cool swirl pattern to it. I believe she used a marble stamp for this. I thought it looked like whatever this boy was checking out through his diploma.
This card threw me through a loop. She had created this super neat medallion in the center using a homemade stencil and some paints. I wanted to do this super neat technique where I trap the color under clear embossing. She recently did a video where she made a card for her GPA with this technique and I wanted to try it. In the process, I did not create a card that I was particularly fond of. But what I did create was a project with several bits and pieces that I do enjoy. This card is an example of it is just paper. If I screw up a project, it is just paper. it isn't even a whole sheet of paper, it is 1/4 of a sheet of paper. Doesn't seem like much now, does it?


Thank you for stopping by and as always GIVE CARDS GENEROUSLY! -Renee'

MISS INK OH NUTS | NO LINE COLORING | ZIG CLEAN COLOR MARKERS | USING CHRISTMAS PAPER FOR LOVE CARDS

Today is my first post for the Not 2 Shabby Shop as a design team member. This is Huge for me. I've been really hoping to build on my skills as a paper crafter, blogger and content creator for YouTube in 2020 and I have so much opportunity before me. As 2020 starts for me here at Delaney Jane Cards, there is so much possibility before me and it starts with this post!




Today I got to play with a Miss Ink stamp set called Oh, Nuts. I didn't have a single Miss Ink item in my stamp inventory before a few weeks ago. So before I get into the post about my project I'd like to discuss the brand a little bit.

The stamps stamped clearly and cleanly directly from the package, I didn't have to condition them or stamp them off first before I got a clear image. I can't say that will always be the case with their stamps but as a first impression, it was really nice. It took a step out of my process and I got to move straight onto creating.

The stamp set I chose to create with this month is a fall themed set. I wanted to show that a seasonally themed stamp set can be used for other occasions with just a little creativity.

Ok, so onto the card because I know that is what you are here for. ;)



I pulled a piece of paper from the Pebbles Merry Little Christmas 6x6 paper pad. I know it is past Christmas, but this adorable heart print screams Valentine's day, does it not!


I stamped my images in Ink on 3's No-line fade out ink. I'm really new to the no line coloring experience and absolutely need more practice but why not start practicing today!


I colored my image in using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a blending marker from Zig. I really like that they offer this because I don't always want to use water when I use these markers.


I finished this all off with some layered die cuts with edge details, white gel pen dots and some black glaze pen for the eyes to make them really stand out.

There is a coordinating video on my YouTube channel where you can watch this card come together. You can view it here: Delaney Jane Cards

INSPIRED BY SERIES | MINDY EGGEN DESIGNS | INK BLENDING AND SILHOUETTE IMAGE | JANUARY 2020


I decided to start a new series on my YouTube channel and blog this year called Inspired by. I'm hoping to have a new video and blog post the 7th of every month focusing on a specific content creator and how I was inspired by a project they shared. For my January post I was inspired by Mindy Eggen Designs. She is an amazing paper crafter and artist and her channel can be seen here: Mindy Eggen Designs

I was particularly inspired by a video she did with a Hero Arts card kit. One of the cards in the video had a beautifully ink blended background and the images were silhouetted over the background. She did some white heat embossing on black for her sentiment. One thing I really like about her channel is she has a range of styles and techniques and is really fun to watch. Her videos and channel are encouraging and empowering and I feel like when I watch her I'm empowered to do what she did because she made it easy to understand and explained her process thoroughly. If you haven't had the opportunity to check her out, I'd encourage you to do so.

To begin we should take a look at Mindy's card:

                                                (Image from Mindy Eggen Designs)

You can see from the photo she has bright bold colors in the background and it is so striking against the black silhouettes. She also used some heat embossing in white on black cardstock.



I used the same ink blending idea here in my background. I have the deeper darker shades toward the top of the card and it blends into the bright bold yellow at the bottom of the card. This adds so much glow to this background.


And I did die cut my sentiment as a nod to her die cut images but my image is colored with my Black 100 Copic marker.

I would love to know if you think I did Mindy's card justice. And I'd love to know what you think of this little series I plan to do.


You can watch the entire card come together on my YouTube channel here: Delaney Jane Cards
