I can't believe my eyes......3 cards in 15 minutes! You make it look so easy; how you show us every little line, every shading, every detail; all done in your easy relaxed motions. I want to try but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Call me 'chicken'; so afraid! I know that's silly, so what if it's bad, it's just paint, paper and water. Just start over! Talked myself into it. Thank you Emma you are adorable (and you lil man too).
Your kids are as adorable as their parents. I bought the platinum from your set yesterday. I mixed it with red, and it worked!!!!!! Silvery red ribbon on my mistletoe!!!!! It works. So 🤩
Your tutorials are so amazing that I went today and bought a watercolor set, some brushes, and proper paper, and see if I can get past my deep dislike of watercolors that comes from using them as a kid with a poor brush on printer paper. It was so frustrating as a kid to do anything with those when the paper rolled and the teacher knew nothing about watercolors, so I haven't really tried that method at all after school. That tree however feels like a perfect way to discover how to actually use those paints fun way.
Because of this video, not only am I trying this tomorrow, shhh don't tell my husband, but I'm subscribing to your channel. Thank you so much for the encouragement. ♥♥♥
1.These are adorable and I can't wait to give them a try. 2. I have struggled painting holly leaves and look how simple you made it! 3. After a year or so of watching you paint I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy some Arches watercolor paper. Wow! What a difference. Thanks, once again, for your teaching.
I am a beginner painter and just decided to try some watercolor. It is not easy but I keep telling myself that I am just starting. Your tutorial is great...simple design and, hopefully, instant gratification...I hope. Time will tell. Your little boy is adorable!
As a water colour artist myself I love watching your videos you understand colour , so if you're new to water colour painting you need to watch this lady work, lovely cards by the way I've never bothered before but I may give it a go,thank you Merry Christmas x
You are very talented! I have no watercolor experience, so I am watching how you hold your brush, and also noting the brush number. Your tip to move your arm and not your hand when making a straight line or a border is a great one. You have inspired me to try watercolor painting. Now I just need to find my paper! Thank you for sharing your techniques!
Your painting are always so beautiful. You are easy to follow. Love the subjects you choose. Thank you for taking the time and thought that goes into your teachings
I am so inspired by this! I'm retiring in a few weeks, and want to try! I have always admired watercolors, but was too intimidated before. You make me believe I could do it.
You can do it! I just started in October and I learned from Emma and others on youtube. And it's a rather inexpensive hobby in my opinion. I find it to be very therapeutic!
Your vids are amazing! Before I got frustrated all the time, and I at some points, I just wanted to stop. Your videos help me start again! Thank you so much.
I did something similar to the tree card with different colours blending. Very cheery. Also, O did some with more smaller trees in different sizes in a row. I then made some decorations in the trees, nothing fancy, like baubles and golden or silver chains. Lots of fun to do, and very quick, too.
My 7 year old just watched this with me and we can't wait to try to make our own cards! She wanted me to tell you that you are very good at calligraphy and that you shouldn't say you aren't good at it :) Have a great day!!
Love thee cards! I just wanted to mention that there are so many stamps that can be used for watercolor! I’ve bought from a few different shops when they are on clearance! I’ve also bought some from AliExpress, they are super cheap there! I try not to buy from any that are designed by the big companies, just wanted to mention this. The way they do this is stamping with Tim holtz distress inks, light colors like antique linen. Then when you start painting, the ink blends in with ur watercolor paints. 😊💗
Just wanted to tell you that I made 22 xmas cards this year...a first! I used your wreath and tree designs and gave credit on my crds. My family loved them. Thanks so much for the ideas.
Adding a border of tape before adding your gold would make it really look nice. with the really straight edges of gold... Loved this simple tree card...
These are beautiful. My daughter and I decided to make handmade Christmas cards this year. These are quick and we are able to make a lot for our friends and family.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was looking for a snowman tutorial, and saw a lot of them, but this is the only one that was realistic and simple. I am a huge fan of your videos; you are one of the best at demonstrating how to do things in a way a beginner can understand and use.
Hello Emma,love watching your tutorials,you make them look so easy to. paint and seeing your little boy with you,he is adorable and obviously loves being with his mom thank you so much for sharing,much appreciated in these sad times xx
Wow! You make it look so simple. Although the first three card videos' were out of focus, I love how easy you made it look. I love watercolour painting but not confident in creating a card cos not a very good sketcher like yourself. However, after watching your tutorial, I am going to try my utmost to follow your lead. You write beautifully too. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe😷🌹💖
Emma, you are so talented! I'm always amazed at how you can freehand circles, and straight lines! Thank you so much for taking the time to film these tutorials. Such great ideas!
First, I have to tell you that your son is adorable! I enjoyed watching you create these cards. Each one makes the perfect card for sending to someone special. I look forward to trying, myself. Watching you paint is very relaxing and very inspiring. I know your time is limited with your new son but I really appreciate you sharing.
You make it all seem so simple! I love your designs and may even try this for myself. I also like that you get right to business and don't have a long intro as many people do.
Emma, I noticed on reading on Amazon with regard to the Finetec gold paints they have changed the name. I'm enclosing the info for you. The manufacturer of this product, Finetec GmbH has rebranded this product as Coliro. The product itself remains unchanged and continues to be handcrafted in Germany by Finetec GmbH. Until the inventory is worked through, you may receive the older packaging. Coliro M600 Artist Mica Watercolor Paint, Metallic, Gold (6-Color/Set) Happy Painting, Annette Tracy
I just signed up to do the calligraphy course next January with the Happy Ever Crafter so thanks for the tip Emma. Can’t wait to learn modern calligraphy!!
I enjoyed making all of these with you. It's nice to have quick projects to get my 'fix' on busy days. I enjoy your channel and love seeing your precious baby.
I followed your tutorial and made my own. The cards came out amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video for this! I love your channel! :D I plan on doing a snow grandma, snow grandpa and snow granddaughter for my in-laws Christmas card this year. Thank you again :D
Looks like a good opportunity to use those tubes of sap green, hooker's green, and viridian that have been hibernating at the bottom of my paint box for the past 10 years or so 😁
I’m def going to try this. I’ve not done any cards this year as I wanted to watercolour them myself but, yeah, that didn’t happen. So my cards are going to be late but I think I could manage the tree one. No one I’m giving them to live or know each other so there’s no issue giving everyone the same right?
This has inspired me!! The simplicity of the images are wonderful. I can’t wait to start this. Could you send me the link to get the gold/silver palette? Thank you. Marilyn in Pensacola.
You are so talented and make everything look easy! I was amazed at your circles for Mr. Snowman. Thanks for sharing. And your son is absolutely adorable. xo
Wow !!! You made that look so easy and they turned out so great !!! Especially the writing !! I am so envious of anyone that can letter so well !!! Thanks for the tutorial !!!
Hi Emma. So glad I found your channel ! I am just beginning this technique for cards. I think I have the necessary supplies , except the markers. Are they a water color marker? Not familiar with them. Thanks so much for this class! ~ Diane

I get so frustrated with my beginner painting but then I watch you and get inspired all over again...thank you.
I know this tutorial is 4 years old, but I love EVERY one of them!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!!! ♥️
Hands up, who tunes in to see her little boy as well as the paintings. He is just adorable.
I have learned so much watching your videos. You are so brave to write directly on the card like that.
Your kids are as adorable as their parents. I bought the platinum from your set yesterday. I mixed it with red, and it worked!!!!!! Silvery red ribbon on my mistletoe!!!!! It works. So 🤩
Love your sweet little boy. It's nice you bring him into your videos and we see how much he has grown.
Your tutorials are so amazing that I went today and bought a watercolor set, some brushes, and proper paper, and see if I can get past my deep dislike of watercolors that comes from using them as a kid with a poor brush on printer paper.

I may have watched this last year, but I am so excited to follow along and get back to watercolor!

I could watch you for hours. You're so calm and you make it look so simple ,I might be able to paint.
Right? I'm a beginner I get so nervous when I start painting
These Christmas tutorials were exactly what I was looking for. I also get anxiety but it when I am painting for someone else besides me.
The card with the holly and berries would be perfect to write on "Happy Holly-days!"
You are very talented! I have no watercolor experience, so I am watching how you hold your brush, and also noting the brush number.

You work magic with the watercolour; the paint doesn't always behave like that for me. Very skillful.
I just took the HappyEverCrafter free 4 week class! She is great. I will be making these cards. Thank you.

Adding a border of tape before adding your gold would make it really look nice. with the really straight edges of gold... Loved this simple tree card...
I prefer the more natural look. Horses for courses...x
Yaaay. Great tip on holly leaves. And love borders
