    Hello, all! Today's card idea and video is a DIY Valentine's Day card using minimal supplies. In fact, this is the first of three videos like this that I have planned. There will be two more DIY Valentine's Day cards in the coming weeks.
    You'll want to use watercolor paper to create this card. I've really been liking Canson XL watercolor paper and it's an inexpensive paper that can sometimes be found in stores like Walmart. If you can't get a hold of some watercolor paper, try to use the thickest cardstock or paper that you can.
    I masked off the four squares using blue painter's tape, and then watercolored using washable watercolor paints from Crayola. To finish off the card, I drew a gold heart using a Pilot paint marker in gold.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when you make these kinds of cards that do not require all new and often expensive supplies. Thank you so much! I'll say it again: you are the BEST!

  • @leenewton5872
    @leenewton5872 7 лет назад

    It is so nice of you to do these occasional cards with minimal supplies so more people can play. Not everybody can buy everything. Great to provide some workarounds, some alternatives and share the love. TY for being a sweetie!

    Oh, Kristina...thanks so much for this simple card! Sometimes we just need to be able to sit down and quickly make several cards. I could see using this design for note cards or any card, actually. Would make nice "thinking of you" or "praying for you". Thanks again!

    Thank you, Kristina. I've been wanting to try my hand at watercolor, but have put off trying it because I'm really not artistically talented. This simple design with very affordable products has given me the courage to go ahead and try. I'm off to buy the materials. Wish me luck!

    Cute and easy! This is sort of what I do when making my watercolor swatches! The blue tape is available in 1/8" wide rolls and larger on Amazon from $2-$3 on up. Easy and clean OCD looking swatches! God Bless!

    @mpbailey18 7 лет назад

    Excellent video! thanks for using such basic supplies....just goes to prove you don't always need the expensive products to make a lovely card! But sure helps to have an artistic hand :-) I'm impressed you basically eyeballed laying down the tape. Quite sure mine wouldn't have been so straight!

  • @ashleyhundley9245
    @ashleyhundley9245 7 лет назад +2

    Super cute! I'd love if you did something fandom related, like a Harry Potter card or a Sherlock card, because that'd be really cool to give away to my friends. Or maybe superhero cards like Batman, Captain America, Spider-Man, etc. Because I would really love to attempt something like that.
    I usually design on my tablet because actual drawing cards are messy for me, but you make it seem so easy! And I love the minimal supplies videos since I don't have a lot of these fancy tools as a student. Keep up the great work!

    • @a7xmaNga
      @a7xmaNga 7 лет назад +2

      Deborah Anne as long as you make sure all the area of watercolor is dry, it should be okay, otherwise embossing powder would probably stick in unwanted places

    This comment has nothing to do with this video, but I was wondering if you've ever considered having a rubber stamp set made of your hand lettered alphabet? From everyone's comments, and my own admiration, I think we'd all love one. 🦋
