My son and I had a very fun afternoon cutting out trees for our cards and tags. I think I have enough for about 2000! Very fun tutorial! Thank you so much for a fun & doable idea!

[@KarenRiceArt]

That is awesome! They are addictive!

[@PaulaScardamalia]

What a great way to use those "failed" paintings. Love the fun and simplicity.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sarahnorthrop9823]

What a brilliant idea! I've spent all weekend hand painting my cards and still don't have enough! I shall definitely be using this idea too! Thanks Karen 😊💖

[@KarenRiceArt]

Wonderful! This idea makes it so much quicker as well. I also find it very therapeutic just finding little gems in the backgrounds of paintings that I have discarded.

[@kelliebach5240]

Another idea for the wording is to use the stamps. I was able to get some really inexpensive sheets of word stamps that I hope to use with my cards

[@kelliebach5240]

I forgot to say that you can apply watercolor paint with the brush to the silicone stamp. It’s not as crisp as using ink, but it can make a nice effect, especially if the watercolor is a thicker consistency.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great suggestion. Thanks for sharing.

[@denisetebbs2742]

Great ideas, thanks 😊

[@KginVT]

I love how you remind us viewers that “less is more”. It’s so true. These tags and cards are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this tutorial!

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

[@lisamccort6777]

I love the "less is more" also. This was a fun tutorial .

[@denisetebbs2742]

Clever! I think that even i could manage these - I'm not very artistic and have zero patience... Thanks Karen 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

You can do it!

[@conniemesce4093]

I did some of those cards last year. Diane Antone had a tutorial on them. Very pretty! ❤

[@annenglish2935]

Just watched this and love them! The Brusho trees are epic - I am definitely simplifying next year 🙏. I wonder if you could create multi-petal flowers 🌺 in a similar way … for other occasions …🤔. Big thanks 🤩

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! Great suggestion 😊

[@maryspringer1442]

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Working with the stickers, it's easier if you moisten your finger (some cringe but a little spit goes a long way) you can use a touch of water as well. Your cards turned out lovely.

[@KarenRiceArt]

[@janevance1694]

Great thank you!

[@24get24give]

those cards are lovely! it's funny. in the US we get silver-toned caps and hooks on most ornaments I think I would like the brass better' I'll have to look for them next time I'm there [hopefully in season] is Harrods as amazing at Christmas as I think it would be? I have subscribed

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t been to Harrods for years at Christmas! I imagine it’s still amazing at Christmas time.

[@jmbo16]

I love your ideas , I'm having trouble finding the stickers for the wordage on the cards ,

[@KarenRiceArt]

I found them on Amazon, just search Christmas stickers letters 😊

[@dipuartsdigital]

Nice 👍🙏👍

[@antiochfoxlake7]

I love this idea. Could you use Modge Podge to adhere? I am so excited to try. I have gold and glitter. Thank you once again for your inspiration

[@KarenRiceArt]

Yes you could Modge Podge. Have fun creating these cards.

[@trisht5064]

Great ideas thank you. I would like to ask COULD YOU MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT PRINTERS/PRINTING ARTWORK 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

I could do… Telephone, I don’t really know much about this subject and there’s lots of really good videos on KZbin which would hopefully be helpful for you.

[@moniquevugs8]

❣️🙏🥰

[@ltisch]

your to buy list did not show a link to but the stickers for words or stars, can you please provide

[@KarenRiceArt]

Just search Christmas stickers on Amazon. There are lots of different varieties.

[@gaelowen]

Where can I find the press on gold lettering?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I purchased on Amazon, the link is in the Amazon UK link in the description.
