I realize I said "20 cards" a few times in this video. It took me a few hours to realize that there are only 16 on that sheet. Sorry about that. I think because they are the size 5" x 4", my brain just automatically multiplied and came up with 20. Well, it WAS an early, early morning when I did this, lol. Thanks for putting up with me. 😂

Baubles, got it. :-D I'm glad you like the snowman; I thought he was going to be a failure at first, lol.

Wow-good thing I don't have that many people to send cards to. Looks like a lot of work. Your idea with the greetings is genius. Much simpler than stamps i more likely to turn out straight.

Thanks, Beth. I was never very good at sending Christmas cards until I started making them on my channel, lol.

Loved the video and the cards. I have a lot of favorites including the Christmas light bulbs and the Christmas glass balls. Thank you! Hope the class was as much fun for you as it probably was for your students.

Thanks, Eileen. Yes, we had so much fun in class and I'll show you the completed cards at the end of Friday's video if I remember.

Cool and clever time-saving process. I, too, love the three round ornaments piece - the metallic/shimmer details were brilliant. Other faves include the stocking and the snowman. ⛄

@MirandaWatsonArt 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Irene. I love those, too. I finished them up completely (except for putting on cardstock) and I'll try to show them at the end of Friday's video if I remember.

Your cards are beautiful. I love them all. I like the strand of Christmas lights, the Christmas ornaments, and the stocking the best, but they are all awesome. I will have to get better organized so I can do this next year. Maybe, I will manage a few this year.

Thanks, Diane. Now to actually send them out, lol. I should probably do that today.

Great video 😊 where dit you get the light box?

@MirandaWatsonArt 8 ай бұрын

From Amazon at this link: amzn.to/3QQPT1e and I really like this one, too, because it diffuses the light better and doesn't require a cord: amzn.to/46YrnRn - thanks for watching!

I loved watching you make all your cards, very cool idea to do them all on one big block! Also I just wanted to let you I saw you left a comment on one of my videos but I can't find it now unless you deleted, so I just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I have heard YT deletes some comments though I don't know why.

@MirandaWatsonArt 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Naomi. Oh no problem about the comment. KZfaq deletes perfectly good comments from my channel all the time. I see the orbit of them not them can't access them. Drives me crazy, lol.

How cute are your cards, I just LOVE the stocking! And the rainbow tree, and the snowman with carrot nose...and the baubles....oh, all of them! 😂

What is the best watercolor paper to use.

@MirandaWatsonArt 7 ай бұрын

I prefer 100% cotton paper like Arches, Fabriano or Baohong. I also really love the Paul Rubens glitter paper. ✨️

@Hanna-zr6hz 8 ай бұрын

Great design ideas for the cards but the voiceover felt so rushed it was stressful to listen to 😮‍💨

@MirandaWatsonArt 7 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that. You can slow videos down by using the gear icon on the bottom right of the video screen and changing the Playback Speed. Regardless, I will keep that in mind for future videos!
