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

Christmas Collaboration with Rise and Procraftinate -Christmas Series 2019

I'm honored to announce a beautiful collaboration today with Rise and Procraftinate. You can find her video and channel here: Rise and Procraftinate

We decided to simply create Christmas cards for today's collaboration. Both of us will have videos on our YouTube channels. Mine will be linked below.

I chose to create a card using Lawn Fawn stamps as a backdrop to this super sweet Neat & Tangled set.  I felt like the Lawn Fawn images were the perfect size for a student created backdrop for a Christmas Pageant.

I used my distress inks to ink blend the sky, shaded lilac, blueprint sketch and mermaid lagoon. I also used scattered straw to tap onto the moon but did go over it with a light yellow Copic Marker Y02. 

By limiting the color pallet to those colors found on the Doodlebug patterned paper I used, the scene looks really cohesive. I copic colored all the pieces of the scene and die cut them. I stamped the trees with green inks instead of copic coloring. The Neat and Tangled images have coordinating dies but I do not own them so I fussy cut them out. Both images were really easy to trim out. 

I picked a coordinating cardstock scrap from the scrap bin and heat embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment in white on it. I also stamped the We Wish You in black on the back of the same patterned paper I used for the main panel. Doodlebug papers are double sided and this pattern was clean enough to stamp directly onto it with no issue. 

I love what the tiny details always do to a card. Adding white gel pen stars, Nuvo clear glitter overlay pen to the Santa and surrounding area to represent the magic of Christmas and making letting the two star players shine with a little shimmer of their own. 

Thank you for stopping by and as always, GIVE CARDS GENEROUSLY!

Lawn Fawn | No line Coloring | Nutty or Nice | Christmas Series 2019

Today I chose to play with my Lawn Fawn |Simon Says Stamp Collaboration set from 2018 called Nutty or Nice.

I know this set isn't available any longer but I know many people have it and this isn't so much about the stamp set as it is about the technique.

I used what I'm calling Nichol Spohr coloring. No line coloring with Zigs. She has mastered the technique and if you are looking to learn she has so many videos on her channel showing just how to do to this.

Some very cool things about this type of coloring is that you can make your images look soft. The traditional black line sometimes looks harsh.

Lots of fun details are hidden in this little scene. Like this squirrel, is he taking this acorn from his friend or hanging it up as a gift? You tell me.

Hope your birthday is...

Out of this world!


This adorable Lawn Fawn set helped me create a single layer card for a very special boy's birthday. He has issues with texture and having layers of paper on his card could have potentially sent him into a meltdown. So I created a single layer space background using some masking paper and fluid.

This was the first time I'd used the masking fluid so I wasn't sure what to expect. The star images were a little small to fill in properly so they aren't perfect but... what stars are?

I stamped the images onto Smooth White Cardstock from MFT in Lawn Fawn Jet black ink. Then I used paper masks for the large images and molotow masking fluid for the stars and I let that dry completely. Then I blended on some bright colors using Tim Holz mini blending tools and went over the entire thing with the black soot distress ink to create the background. I splattered on some shimmer spray, used a paper towel to blot some of that up and then used the tube of the spray bottle to put some larger droplets onto the background and let them dry. I used an eraser to rub away the masking fluid from the stars and colored all the images with Copic markers. I added some gelly roll pen dots in white to the background and used it to add detail to the colored images. I also went over the stamped sentiment. Since texture can be a huge thing for him, I didn't want to heat emboss but I also didn't want to lose the sentiment among the darkness of the background.

The inside has the remaining sentiment and a few starts stamped. 

Out of this World

So Friday's blog has become Saturday's blog because... well... I've got a needy infant and my glossy accents took forever to dry. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

I created something I've never created before, a card with two interactive elements on it. You can see those almost complete circle channels cut into the card front, those allow both the space ship and the astronaut to "float" around in space. Sort of neat, right?

This card was created for our very favorite nurse at our Pediatrician's office. She will be leaving pediatrics and taking a position in oncology. She will be missed tremendously.

I figured this was a cute way to send her off to her future from my boys to her.

She has small kids so I thought something interactive would be super neat. I bet they want to play with this when their mom shows them. I know Cooper would be all over it if I'd let him!


I used the Lawn Fawn Out of this World set and stamped and colored the images with Copic markers. Then I die cut them with the matching dies. ( I wish the rocket flame would have a die, but I had to fussy cut that part) Then I chose this adorable star paper from Avery Elle, the Everyday Collection.

I used a bit of washi tape to stick the circle channel dies to the front panel and ran it through my big shot die cutting machine and kept the pieces it cut out. I temporarily adhered my panel to the card front with a little bit of washi tape and then adhered the inside of the circle channel pieces with some liquid adhesive and removed the main panel while that dried.

I applied a generous amount of foam tape to the back of the main background panel, making sure to leave an area around each of the channel so the pieces I wanted to slide had plenty of room.

MFT released several of these channel dies to make interactive cards over the last few years and they also have some little slider pieces. One set is round and the other look like a flat tic-tac. I used the oval tic-tac shaped ones for this because I wanted my elements to slide and not spin.

Some glossy accents on the astronaut's helmet and the ship's window and a heat embossed sentiment completed the card front.

I wanted the inside to be just as cute and coordinate, so I used another sentiment from the set and stamped the stars. Then I adhered an extra planet I had colored and die cut.  I really hope she likes her card.

Magical Day

Since receiving this cute Doodlebug 6x6 pad and this Taylored Expressions stamp set I knew I had to create a card using both, together.

A simple layout helped me keep the focus on this adorable, sparkly, dragon. I say, even boy dragons would sparkle and have shimmer, right?

Simple Copic coloring helped me create this coordinating dragon image. I cut the panel out with a MFT pierced rectangle die and used foam tape to mount it to the card.

I thought the Richard Garay Amazing Dots in the matte grey were perfect so I added a few of those around the sentiment panel.

I finished the inside with a strip of the cloud patterned paper (side note, the castles and the clouds are the same piece, just different sides!) and I stamped the Have a Magical day sentiment inside.

I think some little boy, or girl, would love this one.

Teachers Gonna Teach

I was blessed with the opportunity to create Teacher Appreciation cards for a school in Ohio where my best friend's son attends. Being tasked with 67 cards was sort of a challenge but I didn't want to bow out. 

I found this adorable paper pad by Doodlebug and decided I'd make the cards from that single pad of paper. That way they coordinate but wouldn't be the same. 

I also used several coordinating images from several companies, Simon Says Stamp, Tim Holtz, Lawn Fawn and a few others. Each card has the same basic sketch used and the same sentiment on the outside and inside (we can always count on you). 

I took a few photos so I could represent the multiple images and papers used.

PMS Peggy: Growing in Unity Day 4

Yesterday,  we played with heat embossing as a technique in a black and white color scheme. Today, I wanted to elaborate on the idea of a black and white focal image and colored patterned papers. 

PMS Peggy

PMS Peggy has to be one of my favorite edgy Unity stamp sets. I was especially fond of this set while pregnant with our youngest. It always made me giggle. There are two additional sentiments in the kit, check it out by using the link below.

This card uses a fairly simple recipe and you get a nice eye catching card with little effort. 

The green patterned papers are from a Michael's green paper 6x6 from the dollar bin and I paired it with a simple focal panel of Peggy, stamped in black ink. I colored the heart on her belt red for a little pop of color, but other than that, this is a very monochromatic card. 

Don't forget to leave a comment below for a chance to win some Unity Stamps!

Day 2 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge

I chose to make a card with my image, but you can play along by just coloring something, no need to make a card! Be sure to use #dailymarker30day in your post, blog, Instagram, Facebook, etc...

I had about 15 minutes to play between mommy duties today so I created this quick card.

I colored this A Muse Studio Image with Copic Markers.

 

Close up so you can see the coloring.

This image shows the embossed background fairly well and it also shows that the sequins match better than the other images show. In real life the match to the dress is pretty spot on.
