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'


All items were purchased with my own funds excluding the items with an asterick. This video / blog is a design team post. 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.
