This video should be watched by all cardmakers! Such an essential design element, balance!
What an awesome video! Fantastic tips. TFS.
Thanks so much!
Suddenly I understand why some card grab our attention and some don't ! Balance is the key , This video is like a fundamental course for card making ,I am so Thankful for explaining it so clearly with examples.
❤
Fantastic explanation of why some designs work and others do not work as well. Would love to see more videos about design.
Thanks!!
I really appreciate the info you gave us in this video. Your card designs are always so appealing and now I understand a bit more about why that is the case. I'm making myself a grid!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! We're so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for sharing Julie and that bear card w/the hat in the park was so cute.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you SO much for this educational video. Sometimes I make cards and I just can't figure out what's "off." I think many of us lack an educational background in design; however, we're drawn to cardmaking and stamping as a hobby. Many videos show people making gorgeous cards, but often times the 'how' and the 'why' of the design aren't explained. Videos like this help more than you know.
My words exactly... I totally agree. Thank you. :)
Your comment means so much to us! We're so happy you found this video helpful! ❤
Fantastic video! Thank you for all of these helpful design tips and samples! I'm definitely going to make a grid---what a useful tool!
Fantastic! We're so glad you found it helpful!
This video is Fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration and guidance.
You are so welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed it!
This is an excellent tutorial. I have heard about the rule of thirds but never really understood how to apply it. And the grid idea is very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tips Julie. Thank you for making this video! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful and so interesting to hear you explain why we "automatically" do things right or not quite so great. Really excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I learned so much!! This was excellent!! Thanks for sharing with us!! Julie is the best!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!
Great video, Julie, thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the technique zero waste after paper cutting images
Thanks for the fantastic tips. 💙
Any time!
I was a graphic artist in my early career and while watching your video it occurred to me how many of these tips and techniques I use but wasn't even aware! Thanks for the refresher! Excited to intently use my graphic design senses in my card making. Love your videos, Julie! You're so informative and fun to watch and listen to! Keep 'em coming!
That is awesome! Have fun applying your skills intentionally! We're so happy you found it helpful! 😊
This was very helpful and the examples were so lovely 💕💕💕
Glad it was helpful!
I've made cards for...ever...and I still learned so much today. Great video, Julie!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! I've been looking for layout design videos that are actually about the design principles for card making and most just say how to do a certain layouts. This is so much better than watching the straight design/graphic design videos I have been watching; I like to see how it's actually applying to cards. I had to stop and take notes!!
What a great tutorial! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I have watched this a couple of times, thank you so much for this great information!
Yay! We're so happy you found it helpful 😊
This was super helpful. I totally understand how some layouts just feel “right” and some feel off balance. This gives me some things to think about on how to “fix” those unbalanced cards. Thank you!
We're so glad! 😊
Even though I am making cards for last 22+ years, I learned so much today! Simply amazing ! Thank you for sharing it!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video! I had seen a video quite a while about the rule of thirds, but had forgotten all about it! I printed your download as a reminder and guide!
Glad it was helpful!
I've admired your cardmaking since my start on SCS ... still love it just as much today. Thanks for all of the tips.
Yay, thank you!
I am really liking all of these cards and the layouts. I really enjoy the simplicity of the focal point with the greeting because I have a tendency to really over-do it a bit. I agree with Stacie Borchert below... figuring out what's "off" is hard if you don't have this type of explanation that makes total sense. Thank you SO much for sharing.
You're so very welcome!!
Such a great video explaining why your cards always look so beautiful! I love the spare, uncluttered look your work has but I know how tricky that is to achieve. This video really explains the thought process. Thank you.
You are so welcome! 🥰
Love all your card samples!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this information. I learned something new!
Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!
wonderful video. thank you for sharing your tips. i struggle with whitespace.
We're so glad it was helpful!
This is a very helpful video. I think good design is much more important than a time consuming technique that often just looks garish.
Totally agree!
Interesting…. Your cards seem to tell a story. Nice
Er6 good explanation of balance and I’m sure they going to be invaluable in the future
Thank you 😊excellent explanations 🖼🎨🕊
Glad it was helpful!
thanks so much!!!!
You're welcome!
Super, super helpful. thank you so much. I would be interested to hear about how patterned paper affect design considerations.
excellent content, I wish there was more of this type of thing on UA-cam, as it is great to watch people make cards, but unless you copy the card its very hard to make a decent card when you are a beginner with no knowledge of design and art. This has really helped me as I have been doing backgrounds, die cutting and stamping sentiments for ages but struggle to put a card together. Hopefully this will help me to finally put a card together lol x
We are thrilled you have enjoyed this and will continue to try and share some of the principals and elements of design that help to make putting a card together easier!
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
