Want to make your own watercolor cards? Here’s how!

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Shayda, I'm so happy to see a card tutorial from you! Since learning watercolor, the only cards I give out are hand painted ones and you've provided a lovely assortment for any occasion here. I also appreciate that you show how you are sketching them out, as well as your painting tips for shading, etc. Thank you so much!

[@vrenikohler2136]

Who wouldn't love to get one of those cute greeting cards.

[@natalievoorhies4780]

I love making cards. They are so personal. These are great ideas! Thank you!

[@alexklimczak4622]

I love the card with the blue and white cup of coffee. All of them are so cute!

[@mdgordon85]

Loved them all. Impressed with the quickness and simplicity of the everyday items. Cup designs are endless.

[@julieanngenske1292]

Love the coffee and bird cards the most! Fun tutorial! I want to use watercolors more! I love them a lot!

[@sandydivin4329]

The pup made my heart happy! I love your cards!

그림들이 모두 사랑스러워요 가벼운 스케치후 채색이정말 이뻐요 특히 레드브라운과 채리를 올린 칵테일이 사랑스러워요 작가님 ❤

[@eirenmist12]

Such a happy and inspirational video! I would especially enjoy painting the cups of tea or coffee and the croissants. They would really cheer and warm my friends and family up nicely now since we are all practically snowed in here in the Appalachian mountains. You make it look so easy 😊

[@denabrumbaugh2555]

What a pleasure you are to watch. Such a joy. Thank you.

[@kristiobrien1418]

I love your card tutorials and am so happy to see more of them! I love how personal a hand painted card is, and the recipients are always so pleased to get them. Thank you for all the inspiration you share.

[@OrientalGriffin]

I originally discovered your channel years ago because I was getting into bujo (which I still watch), but I think my favorite are your card videos - I’d love to see more of them!

[@mbchocokame]

such a fun idea and i appreciate the emphasis on keeping it simple and how the "mistakes" make it more homemade and creative!!

[@karenmeridew3492]

Love all of these. How fun, and I love making cards. Can’t wait for your paints to be available in Canada! Thank you for all that you do. I appreciate you!

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

😍👍Shayda, I'm in love with these cards, they're so charming! I can't wait to put my watercolours and Tombows to good use, starting with that lovely cup and saucer (very much like one set I own! ☕👌😃), and following with everything else! Thank you!! 🙏👏👏👏😊🤗🥰😘

[@gailmariage5318]

I love to look up drawings on Pinterest. Really helps. These are adorable, as usual.

[@melodyedwards802]

Thank you for giving me a little more confidence. The way you say things really helped me to do better. ❤😊

[@SaraQueen-w4e]

Ahhh, what a delight! I love seeing you make whimsy greeting cards; the doodles and paint mixes get my creative juices flowing! I enjoy every greeting card you created here, but I do believe my favorite would be the little Boston Terrier. He was too cute in his simplicity! 🖌️

[@jaimezuniga4702]

These are fun! I love making cards. I especially like the strawberry one and the flowers. I love making cards for people because I can personalize them perfectly for them.

[@heatherdubeart]

Shayda, these are adorable! I couldn’t pick just one. I love them all!!!! Especially the cute espresso maker and the croissant and the cup with the cherry. So sweet! ❤

[@khamilton7537]

Absolutely love your perfectly imperfect creations. I know it’s not the season but it would be lovely to see a poppy commemorating Remembrance Day. Take care! 😊

[@frangipani4]

I love the strawberry, flower planter and teacup. Handmade cards are always the best to receive. Thank you for the inspiration, Shayda! Can’t wait to doodle and watercolor.

[@msfrehel8758]

These are lovely! I love watercolour - and these cards are such nice presents! 🎨❤️

[@sumanamugothu8681]

I love the coffee doodle, how cute! Your new paint set looks so nice!

[@oldfashionedonpurpose4020]

Oh Shayda these are the cutest!!! I love the moka pot card. Going to do this right now!! Thanks for your encouragement and motivation! ❤

[@LindaBattson]

This afternoon I wanted to spend time watching art and inspiration. I always start with you, because you remind me that art is a joyful and low stress thing. I really appreciate that. Blessings for 2025!

[@iocoloro]

I love this kind of drawings. I drew some images of a table set last summer and it was so fun. I’d like to see some spring drawings, maybe a picnic in the nature. Thank you for your beautiful inspirations

[@christinabreidenbach5874]

Wonderful and playful cards to try on this snowy night....thanks for the inspiration!

[@AmandaColeman-09]

Love these Shayda! Thank you for all you share. My favorite is the Frenchie. So cute! ☺️

[@Torndalart]

Your cards are so simple and beautiful - I love them. My favorite is the croissant

[@CraftyKJ]

Thanks for sharing this fun tutorial-I love your whimsical designs Shayda!!! 🙃

[@barbarahickox7005]

I love all of these!!! I really enjoy painting personal cards for friends and family.

[@DianneChambers1]

Actually I love your shadows! That’s what drew me to this. I also love the simple subjects. I must keep my pad and pencils in the kitchen. So cool! Thank you..❤

[@celesteo1540]

I love all of these! Its hard to pick which is my favorite! Loving the croissant and tea cup for sure!! This has given me some motivation and inspiration to make handmade cards to send out via snail mail thanks for sharing 📮💕

[@jillweisensee8524]

You make it look so easy…now I must try it! Thanks Shayda!

[@ButterflyBlessingsStudio]

These are beautiful! I am still working on the “simple” part of drawing. I definitely lean towards overthinking. This inspires me to keep at it and try to let go of the overthinking that can hinder the free flow you need. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤️

[@kathypatrick427]

Your cards are adorable! ❤ Thank you for sharing! My favorites are the teacup and flowers,

[@ClementineCreative]

This is a great idea! My favourite of yours is the espresso pot. I’m going to doodle some gardening tools on a card for my mom.

[@jeanfeller4961]

I love this! I just got into watercolors and made the resolution to make all of my greeting cards this year. Perfect timing!

[@troyp.vanthorre9767]

Love the tutorial very cute cards. The teacups my favorite. I would draw on paint my plant. Thanks again and thank you for entering me in the contest .

[@sarahbssm]

Omgosh, this is just what I needed. Thank you for this inspo, Shayda! I love each of these designs so much, but I will start with the teacup and the strawberries!! And maybe add a pear version as a note to myself to tuck in my bujo 🤗 Love these, thank you!

[@Lorraine-p1b]

Lovely cards and the urn and strawberry look very pretty.

[@judihussey5889]

Love how free your work is. You definitely are a favorite of mine!! Great video!

[@TwiceAsLovely]

YAAYYYY!!! I'm super excited about these! My most favourite (although I love them all) is the teacup, espresso and the croissant one!! Too cute, and I'll be making those first! I am a Pastry Chef, and I used to have my own tearoom in Australia, so these are dear to my heart! Thank you so much for your channel. You are an inspiration to me in more ways than I can say 😊

[@newtowatercolor]

Loooooove all the ideas! Painting cards was what got me started with watercolor in the first place and the rest is history, as they say 😜. Cards are my go to when I need to paint but don't have too much time for a whole well designed and developed painting.

[@MaryGamblin-jd7ok]

Thank you I’ve been checking card paper all day. This is my goal to do this year personal cards for family and friends.

[@wendybarrows8422]

I love all of these cards! My favorites are the drink cards and the espresso maker. I will definitely try those. I have been doing a wine glass with some wine doodling on cards that have turned out really nice but I love these new ideas from you!

[@sandydivin4329]

I haven't made a card yet, but after seeing these cards, I bought some to try! Excited! Thank you!

[@Giza13]

Hi Shayla, I love your perfectly imperfect doodles. You have inspired me to try watercoloring even though I’m not the best drawer. I love trying your tutorials. Would love to try your watercolor set!

[@MSdesigning549]

These cards are so pretty shayda and so quick and easy to do! I love to make himemade cards too and i would likely paint flowers on them!

[@dianneme6266]

These are a favorite of mine. So quick and fun. Thank you!

[@doreenbuchinskiart]

Your cards are all so cute! 💕 I love to draw/paint my corgi Ollie. 🐾

[@Pxzvamp33]

Such a great tutorial, keeping it fun & simple. I would probably start by drawing simple cupcake doodles. I think I’ll also try making my own cards out of water color paper & a deckled edge ruler or my Tim Holtz deckled edge trimmer. Thanks Shayla!❤

[@kristen3279]

I'm so in love with the watercolor style! I just recently started trying to learn to do watercolor myself. My favorite things to doodle are cute little birds and plants/leaves.🪴

[@Scart340]

Thank you for these examples. I loved them all. I wish I could be that free. I am too controlled. I need to practice being more relaxed and accepting of the imperfections. I have many times like you with the one shadow. Basically, with every painting there is something I don't like and try to fix. Once in a while I am actually successful. Lol. I have only been painting with watercolor for a couple years, and mostly just cards to send to friends and family. You helped me feel better about the imperfections. Thank you!

[@h0leyc0w]

Shayda, your cards are really good and simple. I really enjoy doing these types of cards. Just everyday items just make the best artwork. Thank you. Will be watching for more. Diana

[@shirleylittle3485]

Absolutely love these designs Shayda, thank you. Would love to have a go myself. Love your tutorials.

[@Kelly_Fairfield]

I love this tutorial! I've been wanting to make cards, lol, it's like you read my mind! I love the simplicity of your cards, they are adorable

[@caroltrenda1719]

Love the quick tutorial. Just purchased your paint set which makes it so much easier to follow you. Thanks again for the cute ideas!😀

[@sharonalbright4472]

Shayda, I just love this tutorial. One of my favorite things is making cards for all the people who are special to me. Thank you for showing us how to make these fun cards💌

[@ashleighmeraki6280]

I make cards and thought of combining watercolour and sketches on them before but was stuck on how to use watercolour paper for the cards. Thank you for addressing how the paint would work on card stock! I’m looking forward to having some fun combining all my favourite artsy things in one activity!

[@martamorris5641]

I love them!! What a great idea to illustrate everyday objects for family and friends. My absolute favorite thing to doodle are flowers 🌺 flowers 💐 Thank you for sharing ❣️

[@michelel3372]

Your cards turned out so cute! I really love the sketchy/doodle look of them. Thank you for the inspiration, I'm going to give them a try as I mail A LOT of cards. ❤

[@angelal8456]

I love them all. I think the puppy might be my favourite hehe.❤❤

[@katybradley5143]

I love the doggy doodle! It’s a great suggestion to match a familiar/favorite object to the recipient to personalize it. Thanks for sharing how the different papers worked as well!

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

So cute! Wish I had more time to watercolor for fun. I would love to paint my little ones faces. Still enjoyed watching 🎨 😊
