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.

CREATING TEXTURE THROUGH PATTERNED PAPER AND DIE CUTS | WEDDING CARD

Today, I created a wedding card using some of my favorite Pink and Main papers. I adore this pad from them called The Shore. I wasn't able to find it in their store or in the SSS store. Probably because it is hard to keep in stock, just my guess.

The papers don't have any texture to them but the images on them appear to be textured. All textures of the beach and sea. <3

I pulled out several die sets to create this card, Mama Elephant, MFT, Nellies, Amuse, Gina Marie, And Honey Bee.

I used this set from Simon Says Stamp for the stamped sentiment on the outside and the coordinating sentiment on the inside. 

Thank you for stopping by and as always

Pink and Main Christmas Mug in Traditional Colors - Christmas Series 2019

I used Pink and Main's Christmas Mugs set once again. I wanted to show it with traditional Christmas colors this time.

I chose to highlight a single mug as my image instead of creating a masked scene or focal point.

I also combined two different paper pads for my patterned paper pallet <---say that three times fast!
Say Freeze by Recollections and Here Comes Santa by Photo Play

I did some fairly simple Copic coloring just leaving a center highlight on my mug and then adding fun white gel pen details once the image was colored.

I show how to use a piece of a die cut to get the label you want which can help stretch your supplies a bit. I also left in the fix for a tiny mistake that could have had me running to create a new focal panel for one of these 6 cards. Use an embellishment! Make it look intentional. Move on!  Some sound advice I wish someone would have given me a decade ago. I was always so sad when a mistake happened and I felt it wasn't perfect enough so I started over.

If you'd like to see how this card is made please check out my YouTube Channel here: Delaney Jane Cards

Pink and Main Christmas Mugs - Christmas Series 2019

I used Pink and Main's Christmas Mugs stamp set to create a set of 6 Christmas cards featuring non-traditional colors of pink, purple and aqua with pops or red and green.

I featured their sparkle sheets and their patterned papers to create these adorable and sweet cards.

I'm also linking this to the 2019 Fall/ Winter Coffee Lovers Hop because... I mean, why not! <3

Thank you for stopping by & remember to GIVE CARDS GENEROUSLY!

3 Cards Using Need Coffee by Pink and Main

I used Pink and Main's Need Coffee stamp and die set to create three adorable coffee lovers cards.

I colored the three main images using different colorways to coordinate with their pattern papers left from several coffee themed Scrapping for Less card kits. You can find out more details about their card kits here: Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month 

I show the coloring in this video which includes some new to me color combos.

You can watch me create these three cards on my YouTube channel here: Delaney Jane Cards

Copic Coloring on Glitter Cardstock

I created two adorable baby cards using some old and new items. I used a stamp set I've had for at least a decade and a sentiment set I've recently acquired. Mash up designs are always so fun for me.

I also tried a new technique I dreamed about and decided I wanted to see if I could make it work.

I used several dies from my stash to create the layout. I normally reach for sketches when creating but this time I just had an idea and went with it.

Pink and Main Sweater Weather Courtyard Kit Unboxing and 7 Cards

I purchase the Pink and Main Courtyard kit every month and have for the past 7 months now. I absolutely find these kits to be a stretch for me. I love getting them as sort of a surprise to myself.

This month it was a sweater weather kit and it included an adorable paper pad with all sweater themed papers, a stamp set with coordinating sentiments and images and some embellishments. The kit always includes white cardstock and colored cardstock as well as 4 A2 white envelopes. These kits also include an awesome zipper pouch. I usually use them to keep my kit contents in but truth be told, when I packed for the hospital when I had my last baby, some of those pouches may have made it into my luggage for my personal items. ;)

You can watch the unboxing and all the cards being made here: Delaney Jane Cards
I do share a little about myself in the coordinating YouTube video.

Mixing Similar Patterns with Pink & Main's My Universe

I created an adorable outer space themed birthday card with Pink & Main's My Universe Stamp Set. I also used their Galaxy patterned papers to create the background. These patterns are very similar and could carry a card design on their own, however creating a background using two creates interesting depth and dimension to this scene. And these adorable images make this card irresistible!

Creating With Only Sentiments

I used Pink & Main's new stamp set titled Going Places to create a card using only sentiments. I feature a very neat die cutting technique to add interest to a simple card as well as ink blending and heat embossing. All great techniques for the new crafter and the advanced crafter alike.

Pink & Main Squeeze the Day! 6 cards 1 kit

I've been very lucky to be able to subscribe to a few monthly kit subscriptions over the past few months. One of those is Pink & Main's Crafty Courtyard kit. Each month the kits are just packed with goodies, papers, stamps, dies, embellishments... etc...

The August kit was summer and fruit themed. An adorable layered fruit stamp set and some super bright patterned papers were the stand outs for me this month.

I was able to carve out a little time to play with the kit and create a few cards. I have tons of supplies left and can't wait to get back to them and make some more fun and bright cards. I have soooo many ideas still.

I have a process video on my channel featuring these products.

Life begins after coffee

I went into the craft room today to make a birthday card for a young man, a 30 year old man and this isn't a card for a young man. Sometimes creativity just takes over and decides what is going to be made and today that is exactly what happened.

I pulled out some of my older stamps. The coffee set is a Clearly Besotted set I've had at least 5 years. The bird is a stamp I've had even longer. A friend of mine and I went to a rubber stamp show about 7 or 8 years ago and we each purchased a grab bag of unmounted rubber stamps from Victorine Originals. I think they have merged with Raisin Boat stamps and is now SumMore Fun stamps.

The papers in this card are from Pink and Main and came from their new release. The papers just spoke to me.

I stamped the mugs in Pink and Main inks, street light and stop sign. And I die cut them with the coordinating die.

I hand cut the edge of a piece of kraft cardstock and then ink blended distress oxide frayed burlap ink on cardstock without reinking my foam, I just used the ink remaining from the last time I used that foam. I added some white pen dot detail as well as some gold dot detail with my gel pens for a little bit of interest. Then I used a versamark pen and heat embossed the edge with WOW white puff embossing powder.

I used asphalt ink by Pink and Main for the coffee steam and the birds but I used second generation stamping to get a much lighter image. I thought it made the birds look like they were far in the distance.

I placed the cups on the weathered wood "table" and stamped the sentiment in the same Pink and Main Asphalt ink but first generation so it was very bold. I didn't want to introduce black on this card because I thought it would be too bold.

I used two Copic markers to fill the cups with coffee, E57 & E59 because you have to have coffee in the cups...

I love this scene and wish I could find this beach. I'd love to sit and watch the waves crash on the shore while drinking out of one of these adorable mugs.

Day 7 and just an image

I colored. That is all I accomplished today. Between all the little people pooping on the floor, spitting up, needing snacks, changing diapers, filling sippy cups, and, and, and... it is 11pm and I finally got a second to color a thing!

I needed it too!!!
