Do card making videos really make it look easier than it is? Let's do an experiment together!

- Do you want to know what I sometimes think when I watch videos of people creating cards? I think it looks so easy what they are doing, yet at the same time so ingeniously brilliant, that it must have been really difficult to achieve and that it only looks so simple because the video is edited on UA-cam. So today, let's start an experiment together to get to the bottom of this question!

Yes I could do what you did, BUT I would NOT have thought of it!!!
I find your videos amazing! I'm not always looking to find an "easy way" of doing something, but rather I'm looking for the "steps" that are used to build different design techniques. I appreciate the fact that you are willing to take the RISK of experimenting for us ("what if I tear a hole and emboss words thru to the lower layer?") and we can see the REWARD of the final outcome! I'm not a big risk taker in general, so if you wouldn't mind...could you color the tips of your hair with Forest Moss so I can see if I want to take the same risk?! Just kidding!! 😆🤣 I can see why you were a teacher in your past...your natural talent shines thru! Thanks for sharing!!
Couldn’t have said it better! Ditto to everything you said except the colouring the tips of your hair; I would like venomous potion please… 😂
🤣🫶🤣🥰
Yes!!! Agree 100%!! And I would love to see a distress color on your hair. Lol.
You have the knack, Luise, for making all your cards easy for me. I love the idea of stamping the large floral into oxide sprays and also gold embossing powder. I saw your cards on Tim’s live and thought that the torn area around the wording was brilliant. I will be using these techniques on some of my holiday cards, while I wait for the holographic paper to arrive in September. I think these cards are lovely and different. I’m so glad, you “thunk” to do these cards this way. You always have surprises for us, no matter what you are making. Thanks, Luise.
I"m 100% agreeing with your comment Cheryl!!!. @Luise I"m getting ready to start mine's .... nd I'll try something like these!!!! You make it look very easy.... let's see! TFS!!!
You are amazing. These are so beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to do an English voice over!
Oh Luise… it looked so beautifully easy! What a stunning outcome of the flower stamping! Love all the colors that came through!
Yes! Love the color palette, too.😍
Luise, you have done such a great job of making your viewership feel like a real community by the way you speak to us and share your creative life and process. Of course, I watch your videos in order to learn techniques and gain insight into your thinking about your art. But the makers I enjoy the most are the ones who are able to create community. That is equally important to me. And the fact that your community is international makes it even more gratifying. It is important to bring people together in positive ways, especially in these very divisive times. I don’t know if you knew you were doing that, but I experience that as an important byproduct of your work. Thank you so much.❤
Well said!💕🇨🇦
Keep taking those next steps! In my eyes, your end result is much more creative, unusual and unexpected than placing the sentiment stamped on a slip of paper and attached on top. When I saw your cards on the Tim Holtz live, I wondered how the heck you were able to manage the positioning so perfectly but watching you create the card on your tutorial, you show that the process was actually quite easy. Thank you for sharing and taking the chance that your card may have been ruined. This has taught me that the risk is well worth the outcome! You’re awesome! ❤
Creating something often results in a series of mistakes, that pushes you harder to overcome the things you do not like, by being inventive and instead you finish with something totally spontaneous which even leaves you dumbfounded about how you got there. The stubbornness to succeed and to not give up or waste paper is definitely a motivator. Great job Luise.
Totally agree with your analogy Alice, that is usually how my creations progress, ending up with something completely different to what I had in mind at the beginning. Luise is wonderful teacher, has been a huge influence on me.
Hello Louise!! I love listening to you teach English!❤❤ In my eyes, this does look easy! You do make many things look easy because you are a wonderful teacher & and talented crafter! When I come home from my vacation, I will try this beautiful card making project & tell you how it went! Please remember, in my eyes, you are wonderful just the way you say, “In my eyes.”😊
Beautiful!!! I LOVE that you are making more cards. PLEASE do more ❤❤❤
These cards are so unique and so beautiful! I love that your brilliant creative brain goes where no one has gone before. The results are gorgeous! Just WOW! 🤗🇨🇦🤗
These cards are so stunning in my eyes. Your tutorials are so instructional and force your viewers to think about being super creative and take chances! You're amazing! Thank you!
Luise, thank you for showing us card making, this one is very easy, I have started to make some, like always, your the Crafting Queen, big hugs, till next time.
I can't wait to try the techniques you shared. The cards are absolutely beautiful!!!
It does not look easy, but it does look doable, the result is totally fabulous and worth the effort! Thank you so very much for sharing your “genius devil” with us❤
Yes - your video makes the cards seem easy to do, but what is more important is that you encourage exploration - thank you
I started as a card maker and I still make them for friends and family. I have used many of your ideas in journals and cards. I was impressed with these cards when Tim showed them on his video. Thank you for the tutorial. The main lesson is don’t stop when the process isn’t what you thought press on. God is the creator not the devil ,the Devil is the destroyer. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Amen.
When I saw these cards on Tim's Livestream, I immediately added a note to my technique list, along with a simple drawing, because the torn window appearance is so beautiful in my eyes.
I even have that same cardstock, but I had no idea it could do such magical things....obviously it depends on the skill and experience of the maker.
Thank you for posting a tutorial because I would NEVER be able to recreate your process on my own.
The final results look so Old World-ish to me. It's like sitting in a vintage parlor with faded upholstery and wallpaper.
Absolute perfection.❤
Beautiful as always! Love the multicolored, sprayed, stamping! And the idea to stamp thru a stencil for a background, great to learn new tricks 😍
Love these! Don’t think they look difficult but you always make things look easy. ❤️
Luise... I think the "devil" is the one that keeps us in a box, full of doubt, by saying, "NO! Be afraid. Just leave it as it is... It's enough."
And the "angel" is the one that says, "Enjoy the journey... express yourself! Spread your wings and fly." 😉
All of the cards are gorgeous either way. 🤩 And fairly "easy". Totally doable!. Even without having everything you have, I can create something just as beautiful with what I have in my own supplies.
I just need to use MY brain.😁
Thank you!💗💗💗
That's what I love about you. You talk through the process. Thank you
As soon as Tim showed these cards, I started trying to figure out how you did them....and especially how you got the torn paper with the sentiments stamped inside. It's been working my brain (keeping me awake at night!) and I'm glad I waited for your tutorial. I had no idea and your way is much easier, more direct yet more creative and looks much better than my idea would have. Thank you for the step by step instructions and for sharing how you think your process through, it's really helpful and instructive. These cards are over-the-moon gorgeous!
I love how you explained and showed the creative process! It is so helpful to see how you come up with ideas and encourage us to do the same. I have just found your channel and I am very new to junk journals, this is one of the most helpful videos I have found yet, I look forward to learning more with you as I go through your library of videos!
Beautiful cards dear I love What you did 💖💖💖💖💖
I saw these on Tim's live, and I knew this was an impossible technique. But, really, after you show the steps, I feel like I can try this! And I feel like they're even more beautiful because I can not only see, but understand how it's done. Bravo!
I love it Luise. Can’t wait to give this technique a go. Your explanation is easy to follow. ❤xxx
I love that you go that extra step. It takes your amazing creations from great to awesome every single time 😊 And these cards are exquisite
It doesn't seem hard at all...love them! What a great idea to "tear" a hole to see the sentiment! 🌺
Just so unique and beautiful at the same time. I love it.
Hello Luisa, I really like how you deal with the challenges of crafting. 😅 It confirms that you are not always faced with these challenges and wonder. ❤
LOL, Luise! 😂 “…and here I am not trying to cut the paper with just my hands and the power of my brain.”
Made me laugh out loud. Beautiful cards! On my way to try right now!
I really love this technique. The cards are so lovely. I think everything is hard the first time you do it. As you keep going with the project, it becomes easier. The hardest thing is figuring out how to use the supplies that I have when I love so much what you have done with your supplies.
I love what you said about taking risks! These cards turned out beautifully! 😍
Saw this make in Tim Holtz live and I think you are incredibly talented. I love this card
These are amazing! Your brain is incredible! You always think so far out of the box! Gorgeous! I hope your move is complete! The unpacking is the hardest on the back and brain! Best of luck! ❤❤
I love the torn windows! I can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your creativity and thought process.🙂
Thankyou. It was so great to see how you made this. VERY stunning. LOVE the colours
I really like that little devil on your shoulder😂😂😂😂 the cards are pretty cool... thanks again for another inspiration
I loved these on the live on Saturday so I'm really happy that you showed us how you made them. They seem very straightforward to make and it will definitely push me outside of my comfort zone to try and make something similar. Thank you for teaching us ❤ xxx
Beautiful cards - genius tip for stamping with distress sprays too. The cards look very complex but you explained/showed the process cleary - so I will have a try! Thank you x
Wow! Such beautiful cards! It looked hard! Tfs
Thank you Luise. I made 4 cards following your tutorial. I’m so happy with my results. ❤
How beautiful!
This is amazing! I’m going to try it. Love your philosophy. I’m also a painter. And my paintings never turn out as I first envision. We like to say let the painting talk to you and lead the way. Which is just exactly what you’ve done with your cards.❤️
I JUST found your video...I love these cards, the thought process, the torn window!! I can't compare to your other videos YET, but I plan to watch more. 😊 I've always been a "crafty" person, but currently I'm a card maker with junk journal tendencies. 😂 This card makes me feel like I've found my happy place. Thank you for your beautiful work!
This finally makes sense to having the backing card. I’ve always felt it was a waste of cardstock but this is such a good use thank you and yes it makes four different cards, without the fuss. Oh dear I might be making cards now. I don’t want to 😅 I have to! Now if you start making them in pink cardstock I really will be worried about you 😂
I want to say first: I absolutely loved the way you talked about taking that extra step in your project. The insight about the angel and devil on your shoulder was fantastic. I've never had someone speak from their soul in a way that spoke to mine like that. Thank you.❤ Secondly, the cards were stunning!!! The way you worked and explained your process was simple and very easy to understand. Sometimes, I feel like I just couldn't create anything that that beautiful ❤
I loved all the techniques you used. Your cards are gorgeous!
I think the way your brain works makes everything you do seem easy. That’s not a negative, on the contrary, I think it’s a huge compliment to you. To me, I see someone who is not afraid to try new things!! I also think that we are our own worst critics, I will make something and hate it but when someone else looks at it they love it. ❤❤❤
I hope that answers your question.
Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity! :)
Thank you for doing this video Luise! Did you make it look easy, NO! 😂 However, you made it look doable. You inspire me to try and stop overthinking every step and just trust my instincts. I LOVE your work, and I really appreciate every video you do.❤❤❤❤ These cards came out BEAUTIFUL!
Just love those cards. Especially liked the technique of spraying on paper and then placing your stamp on it. Brilliant! I too have the devil with me and struggle with when to stop but then the devil gives me valuable lessons. I can only imagine how much time it takes to edit a great video and I think you’ve mastered it.
Homework part 1. Prior to trying it myself. In my eye, it seems a little difficult. I’ll be trying it out, and will report back with part 2 of my homework.
Thanks Luise. Your cards are lovely.
This didn’t look easy, but I think you simplified the process by working out the glitches! I love these cards.
For me you made it look easy!!! But I'd probably never have thought to do it!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
So many ideas, I love all of them. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Beautiful cards. As a card maker, the techniques are easy, it's the coming up with the design and composition that can make it seem difficult. Card making can be very time consuming especially when you start combining techniques. As with all arts and crafts it depends on how far you want to take it as to how much time you spend. Thanks for showing us the techniques you used, I love the combination of the stamping and the embossing.
WELL AGAIN, LUISE, YOU ARE AMAZING !! I ENJOY YOUR NARATIONS!!! I'M A CARD MAKER &THANKS FOR SHARING THAT SIDE OF CREATING!!!! THOSE ARE SUCH COOL CARDS, LUISE. * SO, I (ME), HAVEN'T CONSIDERED ANY OF MY CARD MAKING EASY (BUT LOVE IT) BEACUSE, I THINK ABOUT *EVERY* STEP EVERY MATERIAL TO FIND & USE OR MAKE TO USE SO, IT CAN TAKE ME DAYS TO DO A CARD. BUT IN THE END, I'V BEEN TOLD THAT THERE, SUPPER!!!!! SOME PEOPLE CAN DO CARDS QUICKLY. YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! Do take care. USA
I am going to have to try this using what I have while I am away from home. Beautiful cards, Luise. ❤❤❤❤
Luise I adore your videos. It seems to be an easy card. However I think its more about taking a chance, having fun with the process and of course “ not freaking your freak” lol. You took a chance and it absolutely worked. Beautiful card. Thank you sooooooo much.
I love this set of cards! I don't think the techniques are hard, sometimes it is hard to generate an idea. But by playing around and stamping or using a stencil, you can sometimes get a direction, like you did here.
I think the phrase you’re looking for is “hindsight”. Looking back at something you’ve done and seeing it with different “eyes”. ❤
This looks so amazing! You always inspire me - I have so many “aha” moments when I watch your videos.
I LOVE this card!! Your explanation, choices & design are so wonderful. So glad I found your channel… almost giddy and can’t wait for the chance to get into my craft room. Thank you so much ❤
These are amazing! Love the hole for the sentiment! I love these cards! You made them look easy!
I loved this video, your results and your topic for this video! I have yet to try this technique ❤
I love these cards Luise! I actually made cards for several years before I got into junk journaling. I don’t do much mixed media but I love the way these turned out. I don’t think it’s difficult if you’ve been using those items but if it’s a new technique it might take a few times to feel comfortable with it! Thank you for sharing!
I love watching your process and thinking.
Definitely a process I can follow.
I am always inspired and learn from you.❤❤❤
Great project, beautiful cards ❤ It didn’t look technically difficult. The difficulty for me comes in the not stopping when doubts set in. It was really interesting to hear you talk about how you were exploring a technique you saw but during your process you thought it didn’t look right. That was helpful to hear. Thank you very much ❤
I LOVE this, Luisa ❤ it looks very doable and elegant but still vintage. I'm going to make some 😊
thank you so much for sharing your process on these cards!! I was so intrigued by how you created the holes with the phrases underneath and can't wait to try this!! I loved your commentary also - very honest and fun to listen to!! ❤
I loved these from Tim Holtz share. I tried it even before seeing this video. The video shows tips that definitely will make it easier. But what a great idea you had. Thanks for sharing it wit us. Your cards are more detailed than mine, but I like my end result. Will try these again.
I am waiting on my stamps to arrive, but will definitely give this a try. Thank you for sharing your talents.
So stunning! I will give it a try...it looks so easy, but the result is so great. You hear from me again😅
They're amazing! Beautiful and unique. Blessings!
I love to hear your process and I love your cards. Now I will probably get this stamp set too because I don't like it as a whole but I love how you did this with it.
You are amazing. I feel it is not as easy as a maker impatience stops us from continuing a longer process. But we have to learn to trust the process and continue.
Oky doky luise, i tried this, recorded it and it will post tomorrow early morning. I did tag you so you can see if you want to, and so others can come here to this fabulous video!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the homework
Hi Luise, sorry I haven’t commented on videos. I have a lot to catch up on. I’ve been with my mom and dad. Mom wasn’t doing well and we had to go down to stay with them. Mom passed away on the 13th. I’m trying to watch your videos and Barbara’s and Margreth Sevenplaza helps me to think of something else for a while. I really liked your embroidery hoop and stamps I loved it a lot. My mom taught me how to embroidery when I was in 6th grade. And that video brought back memories I forgot about. Thanks for more great ideas. I like this idea I’m going to try it ,and you were right about the word you asked can’t remember what it was but yes it’s a word. Love ya.
Kateri
I am currently waiting on this stamp set and will recreate these exact cards when it arrives. I do love challenging myself and often take “risks” like you did here. Like you said, it’s just paper and ink.
I’m thinking I probably would have stopped at the inked floral. I wouldn’t have thought once the card mats were cut to emboss them again. Nor would I have thought to rip away the sentiment area. I would have missed out because your end result is gorgeous. Yes I’ll give it a try. Patti
If I had all your supplies and follow your tutorial, I feel able to do those gorgeous cards. The problem is, I think, that you have a so artsy brain and lot of time to do it. I have half an hour from time to time, and I'm not so creative. Even though, I see all your (English) videos and love them.
By the way, I'm crafting my second junk journal, thanks to your videos and Barbara's. Hugs from Argentina
Realistic video, beautiful cards.
Hi Luise, I found your channel from 49DragonFlies. I love that she is sharing your techniques with making your beautiful cards! I absolutely love the colors and how you used scissors on the edges. I think that added to the overall creation of the card!🤩LOL on the little devils on your shoulders! That made me smile! I think these little devils just wanna help create! 🤣I am glad I found you and I am a new subscriber. Ilook forward to watching more of your videos. 😍Happy Crafting! Gina
💜 It is beautiful! And I think I can do it my way. 💜
Love this idea. I added it to the journal I am working on. I saw your cards on the Tim H. video and wondered how you did it. Very easy!
Love all your videos!! So talented!!! Thanks for sharing!!
great techniques going on there. Fabulous cards.
Fabulous cards, enjoyed so much watching you create them💙🪻🩷
These are freaking gorgeous. I loved them when Tim Holtz showcased the makers on his latest release video. 😀🩵🇨🇦
Hi Luise, your cards came out to be amazing! I appreciate all the steps you take to show us how to do some of the same things you do! Homework pt. 1: this didn't look super easy but i imagine with your video to go by, I could probably do this. But, I cannot try it because I don't have all the products that you used. I might try and come up with a version using what I have and see how it goes. Thanks for going to all that trouble for us! Have a great week! TFS 😊
Luise, these are simply stunning! When I saw them on the live I (as usual) thought how did she do that? How did she get that color on the stamped image!?!?? Of course you explain your steps so well so thank you for that and I love that you always share your thought process with us. I learn so much from that and I am always encouraged to try new things. WWLD (what would Luise do)🤪😉❤
this is just fabulous................... amazing ,,,,,,,,,, and you are so kind to share your imagination with us all.................. i had no idea about using embossing powders or the dabber ... cant wait to get some ,,, i just love this card.......... would make a wonderful addition to a journal also,, perhaps a cover ??
That is a very cool look! Can't wait to try it.
This color combo is yummy!!!! Not odd at all!!!!!🩵🩵🌸🌸
I said I would give it a try, and I did. My first mixed media card. I didn’t like it when I got started, but I stayed with the process. It isn’t too bad (sympathy card), and my sweet friend knows it’s handmade. Following your technique was easy. Having the skills - I need more practice! Much more. But I enjoyed the process. Thanks you!
Aww ❤️ thank you so much for trying it out! Sounds like you had fun and I love to hear that you liked it. And I also find that it's very important that one can see that something is handmade
Looks very doable and a great design!
I love your videos. When I say "you make it look so easy", I mean crafting comes so naturally to you. That's how, or why, you can make it look easy. It's your talent, not your processes. You have YEARS of experience and so much natural talent - creating is your gift, your calling, your purpose. THATS why you are able to make it "look easy". I personally would LOVE to be able to make these cards, but I end up limiting myself by telling myself, "I don't have Tim Holtz stamps. I dont have Tim Holtz paper. I don't have embossing powder. I don't have Tim Holtz stencils." And those thoughts frustrate me. So I grab what I do have, which is regular copy paper, flimsy cheap stencils......Anyway, I end up having to work harder and i end up having something that looks like exactly what it was made with - cheap. So, I think, and this is just my opinion, but I think "easy" requires talent, experience, and proper supplies. I'm not mad that you make it look easy, not at all. I'm envious. That's why I watch your videos over and over. I just want to learn from you so that one day someone can tell me that I make it look easy. 😁 I do love that you always explain your thought process. I think that is super helpful. You are an amazing, gifted artist and you make really great youtube videos. So thank you for that. 🙏🏻💝 I can't imagine the time it takes to make every video in two different languages. 🫂
Even if my takeaway is just one of these tips, I’m a better artist for it. Thank you!
