The strength of your programs is that you make art achievable for anyone who wants to learn. Thnak!
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).
I know this tutorial is 4 years old, but I love EVERY one of them!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!!! ♥️
I have learned so much watching your videos. You are so brave to write directly on the card like that.
I get so frustrated with my beginner painting but then I watch you and get inspired all over again...thank you.
I'm the same! I am going to practice blending wet on wet...like in the holly leaves. I can't get my blending right...need more practice I guess
First time watching. The simplicity of these cards makes them beautiful. Great art techniques. Learned a lot. Thank you.
Love your sweet little boy. It's nice you bring him into your videos and we see how much he has grown.
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!!
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.
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
Hands up, who tunes in to see her little boy as well as the paintings. He is just adorable.
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!
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
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 🤩
I just took the HappyEverCrafter free 4 week class! She is great. I will be making these cards. Thank you.
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. ♥♥♥
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 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.
I may have watched this last year, but I am so excited to follow along and get back to watercolor!
The card with the holly and berries would be perfect to write on "Happy Holly-days!"
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
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
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.
I have been searching for days on how to watercolor a simple card , I am a beginner and I think I found it! Thank you!
My goodness, these are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiring!
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.
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 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.
Terrific cards... love the way you did them, the snowman and the holly leaves. Superb. Thank you.
You work magic with the watercolour; the paint doesn't always behave like that for me. Very skillful.
Love all three cards. You've just inspired me to whip out my watercolors and get to painting. Lovely tutorial.
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.
Thank you so much I made the three cards and I feel much more confidente. You r the best teacher. Xo your son is so cute. Have a great week.
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.
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!
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.
Yaaay. Great tip on holly leaves. And love borders
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.
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!
Watching you painting is therapeutic for me!
Great crafts, really made easy!
Congrats!
You are so good at teaching. Thank you for the holly tip!
I loved the snowman! So beautifully done!
Emma 👍🏻I love all three cards, but OH! that Snowman in the best I've ever seen anywhere on UA-cam🥰 God bless you and your family
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.
Adorable cards!!! So nice to see your entire process of watercoloring and lettering too!! You’re the best!! 😊
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.
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😷🌹💖
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 !!!
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
beautiful cards, I am so new to watercolors, but you make me feel like I can really do it! thank you from a beginner .
Same here.
My daughter and I painted snowmen using this for her kindergarten teacher’s card thank you! ❄️

Three lovely Christmas cards ❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️
Very quick and easy, yet elegant.
I LOVE THESE!! Thank you!! I love the fact that you kept it so simple, which for me is the biggest challenge lol Anyone truly can do this!
This is the BEST snowman tutorial EVAH!!!
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
I've been dragging my heels about learning watercolor during quarantine, but this was a great tutorial! Thanks!
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. 😊💗
Cutest helper ever! Awesome cards. LOVE hand drawn/watercoloured cards.
I have FEARED watercolors for so lonnng! Thank you for this video!!
I am sooo new to watercolour painting, this tutorial is very helpful... thank you for sharing. Loving to Gold paints - need to get some
I've been struggling with holly, as I am terrible at drawing, but you made it so easy! Thank you!🎄
