Super EASY Christmas Cards, Anyone Can Do!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Congrats to @pamelahall3699 , @juliataylor8065 and @janetknappier2968 for winning a Christmas card! Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a set back. Our Canadian postal service is currently on strike. I did not know this would happen before I filmed. Please send your mailing address to [e-mail] and I will get your card mailed as soon as the strike is over! So sorry about that! Hope it can be resolved before Christmas! Congrats again! ❤ Emma

[@janetknappier2968]

Yay! I’m so excited!! Thank you so much and I can’t wait!😊

[@tangoann]

They’re all lovely!🎄

[@danakenyon8909]

I have a small child so we're building traditions with him, but we like to limit gifts to "something you want, something you need, something to share and something to read". It helps keep gifts in perspective and the focus on the real joy of christmas - spending time with family

[@lindageorge8209]

Great idea!

[@wendyb7993]

What a perfect idea

[@dreed1058]

Love this phrase and the thoughtful instruction for your children! Thank you for sharing😂❤

[@charlotteblythe9077]

Because we live far apart from each other so cannot always be together, the ladies of our family all light a candle at the same time ( 4pm) on Christmas eve, just to bring that energy of love. If there are different time zones, that is accounted for. Living in France, UK or Spain, we adjust 🕯️

[@junequiroga9478]

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTASTIC idea. I love it. Have many friends all over the world. Spain, South Africa, Australia, Ireland, England. Will try to do this.

[@karenhatzen]

We did this when my daughter was young... we would pick one night during the Christmas season to "camp out" and sleep under our Christmas tree. We'd watch a fun Christmas movie and then read a few books before falling asleep. I have precious memories of us doing this Christmas tradition. :)

[@suroyal9394]

We would lie under the tree with my dad and sing Carols together while looking up at the lights through the foliage. It was magical 🤶🏼

[@SusanBurgett-h1g]

As matriarch, everyone meets at my house for Christmas eve, games, cocoa bar, treats and gifts. But most important and my grandchildren look forward to it, i read the Christmas story from the old family bible, and prayer together before gifts.

[@cecieh]

When I was still living at home with my mom, we used to go to a Christmas Eve service at a Moravian church where they served a “Lovefeast” of coffee and a bun during the service. I loved that, but I especially loved singing Silent Night in the darkened sanctuary, lit only by the flames of candles held by each person there. So incredibly touching and beautiful.

[@GCarlson-g7s]

Emma. Love all your blazing talent!! For the past few years I’ve watercolored scenes of Christmas for our cards. On the road to Bethlehem, the Angel appearing to the Shepherds, the birthday of Christ, the Wisemen, this year is the flight into Egypt. Remembering that Jesus and his family were refugees. He came so He could be our refuge. Wishing you and your family blessings.

[@jeanoliver4388]

When the turkey comes out of the oven we all have some crispy bacon from the top even the dog! It’s hot in Australia but we stick to traditions but we’re eating it in little more than our swimwear. Love the cards don’t expect you to send them here, and the watercolours are coming out this afternoon! Thank you.

[@cathyschneider554]

When my daughters were young, we loved decorating the tree together while playing Christmas carols and singing along. We opened our gifts one at a time so each seemed more special. And let’s not forget rewatching our favorite movies every year!

[@NancyThrone]

Love your cards and look forward to trying to make my own. Favorite tradition is when the children would wake up and go downstairs to see if Santa had visited. I would put cinnamon rolls in the oven and have hot cocoa. Opening presents one at a time and enjoying the time together. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@annettegarland5395]

Hi Emma! I love to watch you paint, I'm a beginner and you really help me with ideas. Christmas tradition: Having family dinner then going for a drive to see all the lights and Christmas displays around town.

[@meganmaher2175]

Love this tutorial! Can use these for gift tags, too! A couple of years ago, I started a tradition of making ornaments to add to the tree each year. First year, I made felt ornaments, last year I made and painted clay ornaments, and this year, I'm painting baubles.. they've made the christmas tree more special each year 😄

[@evonnenidras270]

Love your beautiful work Emma! Our favourite tradition is the trimming of our tree and singing carols, and then having all our family around our lunch table on Christmas Day! Also watching the kids opening their gifts on Christmas Day… as we celebrate the birth of our lord and saviour Jesus. It’s those moments we cherish … especially as the kids are getting older now…❤

[@c2blondie]

Favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree, with family on Christmas Eve. When a child Santa decorated our tree....kept the kids out of the fragile ornaments at the time. My sister continues that tradition today!

[@madmecyr]

So lovely! I haven't started to paint yet, but I did buy a watercolor set...now to get over the fear factor! My favorite Holiday activity with the grandchildren is decorating Christmas cookies. A recipe my mother made. It's over 60 yrs old now!

[@cherylcolby1954]

Our gathering is formed around family time. We gather, planning our meals and activities to share together. The church is also our gathering place, with both families and friends (who become as family!) Lots of thanksgiving and laughter.

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

Our family tradition is Christmas Eve, everyone opens their gift of new, washed pyjamas (adults, too!), then we all sit around and have a fondue/racklette! We started this with our girls when oldest was 10 weeks old. I had an emergency c section, and couldn’t really travel. So I surprised husband with a fondue for that Christmas Eve. (She is now 41!) And now we do it with grandkids every year and they love it! We haven’t missed a single year. It’s a nice thing to do together, lots of fun. And everyone enjoys helping prep all the dips, veggies, etc. Christmas morning is stocking time, opening gifts, followed by my husband’s famous breakfast. When that is cleaned up, I prep the turkey and get it in the oven. While that is cooking, everyone plays with their new toys, we usually have a couple of new boardgames, and since the day starts so early, there may be a new movie to watch to rest until turkey os ready. Then outside to play for a bit (weather dependent of course!), followed by hot chocolate, then a charcuterie board to snack on. Then bedtime, with everyone tired, happy and relaxed. I wish everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas, holiday season.

[@Oceans1974]

Sounds amazing!!! Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@paulacasey6111]

Love these cards! So simple and elegant. Our tradition is to have Christmas Eve dinner at our house with our daughter and her family. We exchange some gifts. Then Christmas morning, my husband and I go to their house, next door, and watch the kids open gifts. The rest of the day we watch movies and play games and then another feast for dinner.

[@TheSwissy4me]

Lovely. Our favorite tradition is to go to the Missouri Repatory theater for a live production of A Christmas Carol. They have been doing it for over 30 years at the university UMKC where I studied classical piano.

[@laurelrauf2869]

Those cards are beautiful! I love when traditions are passed down from generation to generation. We always and only ate Rice Crispies on Christmas morning. A Christmas I remember was the first Christmas my husband spent with our family. My brother-in-law, sitting across the table telling my husband, they only eat these on Christmas Day you know. My husband asking him, why? Some traditions don’t need explanation, they simply add to the occasion and make it special. 🎄

[@b.comeau2597]

❤Back in the late 60s, we baked sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies using a variety of cookie cutters, decorated them with colored icings and sugars, strung curling ribbon through holes pierced in raw dough prior to baking and hung them on our Christmas tree for decorations. ❤

[@MaryLund-j7u]

One of our favorite holiday traditions is to watch White Christmas and sing along! We also make a Norwegian flat bread called lefse. Yum!

[@debramontanez20]

My hubby is Puertorican and I love that we always do one holiday american style and one puertorican style. We trade off every year so this year Thanksgiving is American and Christmas Puertorican.

[@cheert65]

Our favorite tradition - when my children were small - Thanksgiving weekend we would head out for the perfect nutcracker!! My son and daughter each could pick one ( you can always find inexpensive nutcrackers) then we would stop pick up a sweet treat- cinnamon rolls are our favorite!! We would carry these home - watch the Nutcracker and start our Holiday season!! Precious fun memories made!!

[@roseerickson3631]

I love the snowflake card. A family tradition at our house is Christmas Eve church service after supper, then come home to eat dessert.

[@juliataylor8065]

These are gorgeous! Thanks for another beautiful and helpful lesson. I love your channel because you are not only a talented painter, you are also such a great teacher. Creativity has always been part of our holiday traditions. We usually pick a creative activity for everyone to do. The goal is fun and bonding for everyone, no matter what age. We achieve that, along with a huge mess, usually. This year, I am going to suggest we create cards. You've inspired me with your lesson today. I anticipate with our wide range of abilities and ages that we will have to expand the medium beyond paints, which should guarantee lots of messy fun for all. When I get a quiet moment this week, though, I look forward to trying out the ideas you have shown here in watercolor for myself. My results won't come close to yours, but you've shown me what to practice and do to improve. Thank you!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Congrats! You’re the winner of one of the cards! Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a set back. Our Canadian postal service is currently on strike.

[@KathyWillhite]

making gifts for the bell choir I direct and the class I lead. This year they are getting watercolor ornaments with tiny 2x3 frames.

[@lleventis9992]

Christmas cookies are a favorite family time activity at our home. Of course my husband and son are the official quality control experts. We keep things simple with hot coco, fresh baked Christmas cookies, and Christmas music. Being together is the most important part of our holidays. I hope you and your family enjoy this time together. Hugs.

[@PatMcFadyenGrowingGradeByGrade]

A family tradition: On Christmas Eve, our adult children, my husband, and I sit together and play games - card games, silly games, trivia games. We're not on our phones, it's engaging, and it opens conversations. Thank you for breaking down your tutorials into skills!

[@victoriabarrientos3280]

One of our holiday traditions is decorating the tree as a family and opening 1 gift on Christmas Eve.

[@DivineMzM]

One of my favorite family traditions is all piling into a vehicle, going through Tim Hortons and getting our hot drinks of choice, playing Christmas music and driving around local neighborhoods to look at the Christmas lights. Everyone enjoying the magic of the season. xx

[@sizzykate]

Love the gift exchange since kids days. And now it continues for my kids with her cousins. Though we dont really believe in santa here. But the smiles and happiness of the kids when they opened the unknown gift is such a delight. Great for the cousins to know each other and bond too. Love it.

[@Helen-c6p]

My holiday traditions is going to church with family and friends on Christmas Eve then coming back home and having a light snack of meat pies with pickles and cheese. The good old days Love watching your videos Emma ❤

[@suzannehulton2571]

Loved these cards, definitely going to try them. My holiday tradition is to have some of the neighbors and friends in on Christmas Eve. This tradition started 40 yrs ago when I couldn't go home for Christmas. I invited the neighbors and friends who where alone or like me couldn't get home for Christmas. For some people this is something they now count on at Christmas. Helps them feel less alone and more like have a family.

[@lindayeomans6369]

I love using foliage to fill in shapes or last year I wrote out words like joy and peace,then covered it in foliage. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@joyceroy4644]

Emma, always enjoy your videos. You have so much talent. My favorite Christmas tradition is our special Polish Christmas Eve dinner. We cook 12 foods for the 12 apostles and set an extra seat at the table for the Christ child. We also sprinkle straw on the table to depict the hay in the manger. After dinner, we go to midnight mass to celebrate the birth of the Christ child. Five generations in our family have continued this very meaningful tradition. May you and your family enjoy a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.

[@Tngirl68]

The simplicity of the designs makes me believe I can do this! I can hardly wait to get to my craft room and give them a try. Simple but absolutely beautiful!

[@pamcakes65]

One of my favorite family traditions is making a birthday cake for Jesus. We did it every year when I was a kid.

[@lanawilliams192]

Favorite tradition is sitting on Christmas Eve with all of the lights off except for the tree and just enjoying the peace of the evening with family.

[@kathleenillmann670]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Can’t wAit to get my advent calendar. My family tradition is to wake up have a nice simple brunch then open presents. Now that the children are older It’s nice to watch each person open their gift and see their reaction.

[@55Cyndi]

Spending time with my grands every year. They visit from afar for one week at Christmas. I am so blessed.

[@PatriciaGervais]

Growing up with six siblings we always made our own Christmas decorations. I was always asked to draw the nativity scene on a white stencil which my parents proudly hung in the front hall. I have later bought clear Christmas balls and painted them and tied a ribbon to tie to the tree. I continue making home made cards ‘ Christmas gnomes etc.

[@lynnmarshall4689]

Holiday tradition: we always have a kind of scavenger hunt for our 10 year old granddaughter. We hide her presents all around the house, then take photos of the places we hid them without showing the actual gift. So it’s a fun challenge for her to figure out where to look, depending on the surroundings in the pictures, like carpet, furniture, her Barbie house, etc. she absolutely loves doing it and is so good at it now, she astounds us every year. We have also done the same thing with notes/clues sending her all over the house, upstairs, downstairs to find the gifts. We also do it in May when it’s her birthday. She really gets excited and challenged. ❤

[@jenniferwharton6696]

One of our favorite traditions is watching the Muppet Christmas Carol. Drives one of our kids absolutely nuts because we sing along to the songs and often we are repeating all the lines too😂😂 We have been watching this now for thirty years. Thanks for the cute card tutorial!

[@ssoozee]

You are so calm and easy to watch. I dream of being able to paint even the simplest of designs. I feel hopeful after watching this. Thank you so much!

[@terichristman2141]

how cool! Break out the paints! My 5 year old loves watercoloring already!

[@cutiepie72889]

When my father was alive, we would listen to Johny Mathis Christmas music with the tree lit and the lights off. I carry on this tradition with my family.

[@DeborahMorrow-f2o]

Leaves and berries are beautiful the gold adds a touch of elegance, I love your cards and videos.

[@elizabethhurley7005]

Beautiful! My favourite holiday tradition was the traditional Polish Christmas Eve meal, the gathering of friends at our home AFTER midnight mass and carolling!

[@gwenanderson1914]

I'm loving your videos AND your paint brushes. One of my Fav holiday traditions is making my Mom's Christmas cake recipe with my sister and niece. It's a wonderful way to remember my Mom.

[@moon0408]

Favorite holiday tradition is to watch all the Christmas movies grew up with. On Christmas morning, we ALWAYS make crepes for breakfast after we open stockings but before we open presents. This is a recipe that has been passed down from several generations

[@candybourgeois6916]

Your designs are lovely! Our family tradition is to gather family & friends on Christmas Eve at my home where we always have Seafood Gumbo, Crawfish Benny, French Bread, Bread Pudding and Champagne. It is a tradition passed down from my husband's parents who passed away right after we got married in the early 80s.

[@megmayo]

On Christmas Eve we leave a “ glitter treat ” for the reindeer so they can find our house. It’s just a tune of oatmeal and glitter, but my kids are now 16 and 21 and they still insist we run out in the yard and sprinkle it around before bedtime. Your designs are amazing and you make me feel like I can paint like you!

[@findingthesilverlining2740]

We do something similar but we use edible glitter and colored sugar, to avoid microplastic contamination of the environment.

[@laurenemuro9657]

My mom started a tree trimming gathering when my kids were young, 40 years ago. Now her great grands go help decorate the tree followed by a scripture reading and my dad’s homemade egg nog. So many stories and memories each of us has. Merry Christmas! PS I love these as a beginner. You inspired me during covid.

[@dupageartleague5240]

This tradition started with my parents and grand parents in England and now I have my own family in the US I have continued the tradition with them. Every Christmas morning we eat home made sausage rolls (pigs in a blanket)for breakfast. I mix the skinless. the sausage filling myself and precook so the fat drains and doesn't make the pastry soggy. Then I wrap them in a homemade shortcrust pastry and bake. My family likes them hot, but they are just as good cold! I think if I ever refused to make them, they would send me back to England!

[@debraciola8998]

Our family tradition is to make a day of getting our Christmas tree! We have been going to the same Christmas farm for over 30 years and we bring our truck and look for those largest tree we can find, sometimes it barely fits in the truck, and then we bring it home and in joy cider and goodies and relax and put up the Christmas tree, I just love it.🧑‍🎄🌲

[@maremacd]

Thanks for the tutorial! I will be making these today. My favorite Christmases were when I was a young adult and my parents and siblings were all still alive and everybody in my huge family would go to midnight mass and then come home, open gifts, and eat and party until dawn. I miss those days and my family who have passed so much.

[@artbyramona]

One of my favorite holiday traditions is lighting a red candle for family who cannot be with us. They may be in the military service, snowbound, housebound, or passed away. ❤🎄❤

[@iluv2scrub]

@@artbyramona 🥰

[@maryannlamourt5666]

Can't wait to try these. Thank you for your tutorials. You make it look so easy. I struggle with foliage for some reason. I just started painting a few weeks ago upon retirement. Our family tradition is Christmas Eve adult gift game and Christmas day is all about the kids! Merry Christmas to you!

[@gypsyqueencrafts36]

Hi Emma Jane. Thank you for this tutorial. I have never been able to paint, but I am going to try this during the Christmas period. We have a tradition of the ladies getting together one evening before the big day, with gifts for one of the attendees. A secret Santa type thing. 1 , something in their favourite colour 2, something we know they will love. 3, something crafty. All very small gifts, but gives us a chance to relax before we carry on with getting ready for the dig day. Have fun. Hx💕🧶🧵🎄

[@carolinesiskowic2154]

Clean & simple yet beautiful. I will be giving these a try. My favorite tradition is our family Christmas party on Christmas Eve.

[@bettyphillips4386]

My favorite tradition is making breakfast for my family. Christmas Day I always make egg nog french toast and pound cake egg nog french toast. I started using egg nog long before there was a recipe on the internet for it.

[@digitoes]

These are so elegant! Our tradition: I have a special baby Jesus with a twig manger and some straws. On Dec 1st you can add a straw in the empty manger for every good deed you do (unprompted) for another family member to make a soft bed for baby Jesus. Then Jesus appears on Christmas morning.

[@oliviadejong6000]

So beautiful. One of our Holiday traditions was new jammies for the kids so when they opened their presents they looked great. Also a book on Christmas Eve so they had a new bedtime story.

[@bettygriffin2454]

Our tradition is the Christmas Eve service at church. When all of the family is together at home, before gifts, my husband reads the Christmas story from the Bible perhaps assisted by one of the grandchildren. Then we open gifts one at a time which is a joy for the giver as well as the one opening the gift.

[@sassyjohn1]

These designs are so cool! I've painted two ornaments. Not perfect but fun! Fixing to paint another one, hoping it'll be better than last one! I'm going back 75 years of tradition with my family as a child. We'd pile into the old car and drive around and look at Christmas lights, then go downtown and walk around looking at the awesome Christmas displays in the shop windows. Once home, my Grandmother would read the Chr!stmas story. Now I'm the grandmother and visit my children and enjoy their traditions.

[@donnastokes496]

Beautiful cards Emma My favourite family tradition is giving the dogs a Christmas dinner with us and when I had my horse I would make the stable horses as well a little goodie bag of Christmas treats and suprise the owners as well 😊

[@deannamunro8148]

These are lovely!!! I really love the snowflake - beautiful and such a different idea!!! I painted all my cards last year - first time for that and it seemed to take forever. This will be my choice for cards this year and I see that it will be much easier!!!! Oh Joy! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@amandacole-meyers69]

These are so simple and yet so elegant! I love them! Our fav holiday tradition is telling stories and hanging out Xmas eve with each other in front of the fireplace.

[@rosiespain7445]

My Christmas tree MUST go up on December 6th. Our 1st Christmas together in 1981 that happened to be the date and it quickly became a tradition.

[@janetknappier2968]

Each year since my children were born, they receive an ornament that represents an important event/memory/milestone from that year. They have to find it hidden somewhere on the tree. It’s wonderful to have a tree full of memories we can reminisce about as we decorate the tree!🎄Thank you for sharing your talent and Merry Christmas!

[@karenevanoff5885]

Love the design! Favorite tradtion: go to the Alaska wood and cut down a small spruce tree with my dad as a little girl! Thx for all you share! Love it!! --Karen

[@karenlusby6230]

Thank you for the art and everyone else for the shared memories. Every year I think of the saying from a Hallmark card - Anticipation’s best followed by remembering. As a child, I loved sitting by the tree watching the bubble lights. Now at 70, I love to watch my battery operated glitter diorama. Wishing you and everyone all the colors, music, scents and love of the season.

[@lindabarnett7653]

One of my favorite holiday traditions is pulling out Christmas decorations that were packed away and putting them on surfaces. I have a funny Santa-clothed doggie that sings "Feliz Navidad" when she is wound up. She takes center place on the shelf next to my TV. You are sweet to offer a giveaway. I'd love to have one of your cards.

[@janematyac9425]

We draw letters and then your gift has to start with that letter. We have had some really creative gifts. Example: if you drew C you could do a cow clip chip and attach cash to it.

[@beamuranaka8003]

Love your channel! Such beautiful creations. We love to create a theme each year and decorate around that theme. One year was patriotic, one was all white, one was Singapore, and another was purple.

[@jmbme]

Can’t wait to try these! The grown ups in our family enjoy the gift exchange where you can choose a new one from the table or take one from someone that has already been opened. The kids love watching us go through the opening and taking!

[@loridipaola8156]

I LOVED this tutorial … the tree was fabulous the way she filled it upside down… and gold watercolor paint ..!!! Need to order ❤ THANK YOU 🎄

[@davehunter1629]

Thank you so much for these beautiful Christmas designs. I will try my hand at one or more soon. Our family gathers at our daughter and son-in-law’s home Christmas Eve when they prepare the traditional Seven Fishes dinner. We all gather around the table enjoying family and good food and reminisce about years gone by. Being in my mid-80’s and new to watercolors, I always seem to find more stories about which to reminisce. Carol

[@beckyshook3526]

I look forward to trying this we started doing advent as it is just hubby and me this is the third year we just do little inexpensive things that some are funny some are needed some just fun that we open each day. For example I found a pen set at a thrift store each pen different colors this is in one of my bags I had forgotten and looked for hours for this set I knew I got in the end I remembered it went in a bag....got to love fibromyalgia I can't remember what is in the bags so a surprise to me and I packed them

[@joanneclark892]

Favorite tradition: having a nap after stuffing my self with all the amazing food that I am so lucky to have. xx

[@11556sunshine]

Thanks for the great lesson!! The cards are lovely ❤. We are old enough that our adult children come help set up and decorate the tree and house. We make dinner & have Christmas movies on.

[@tanafairley805]

This is amazing! When the kids were small, Christmas Eve tradition was jammies, appies (lots of cheesy goodness) and a new Christmas movie. ❤😊

[@rfowler6039]

You inspired me this year to paint Fall leaves. After painting them I attached to cards with foam tap and sent them to family and friends for Thanksgiving (big hit). Favorite Christmas tradition is opening one gift on Christmas Eve (usually PJs 😊) and Santa leaves an orange in each stocking (something from my childhood). Thanks for these Christmas card suggestions...going to give them a try and if they work for me I'll send them out. 💕

[@karenlewis632]

These are beautiful, thanks for your inspiring video and Merry Christmas to you and your family! Our tradition is to trim the tree and then take a picture of my hubbie peaking out around from the back! for 45 years now we've tried to continue this tradition!

[@LauraM-qy6iu]

My favorite tradition is driving around to look at Christmas lights and getting hot cocoa afterward. I also love our matching Christmas pjs ( started doing a couple of years ago when we had our own kids).

[@PaulineHansen-r1h]

Our favourite tradtion is Christmas Eve with our adult children , making pizza, playing cards and opening our gifts. A cozy group of 6. Very relaxing before a busy Christmas Day.

[@VeronicaMartinez-y4l]

Our family tradition is to gather at our house with some of our family members on Christmas Eve. My husband and I usually host, preparing a Thanksgiving-style dinner, playing games, and opening a few gifts before Santa arrives at midnight. With our two kids being the only grandkids, it’s become such a special tradition for them to have family staying overnight to celebrate the magic of Christmas together.

[@avedamontedesigns]

I’ve been watching you since 2020 and learn some. I am clearly not an artist and you are great! Love my memories of Xmas in Canada

[@krs1971]

Such pretty cards. My favorite holiday tradition is just having family come visit. Can't always afford gifts, so we try not to put much emphasis on that. We focus on the more important parts of Christmas, like the birth of Jesus, and just being togther as a,family.

[@paulinestewart8188]

This is a great tutorial Emma. Can't wait to try these out. Our family tradition is always centred around a beautiful table decorated with fresh evergreens, berries, candles, etc. while we enjoy a wonderful meal of fun, food and laughter with our 3 children - their spouses and our 3 grandchildren.

[@kimbranson3374]

Love this tutorial, Emma 🥰 One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to bundle up the family and drive through neighborhoods looking at all the lovely light displays 🎄 I have fond memories of doing this with my parents when I was a little girl 🥰

[@LHarrisRose]

When I was a little girl, we had Charlie the elf that would hide and watch to see who is naughty and nice. I am now 61 and Charlie the elf was old when I came along. He now belongs to my oldest child and visits their home at Christmas. I know there’s elf on the shelf now, but Charlie is like the OG of the elves! I love your channel. And thanks for the tutorial on the Christmas cards. It was just what I needed.❤

[@MeltingMarjorie]

I give each child and grandchild a Christmas ornament on thanksgiving for their tree. When they grow up and leave home they have some ornaments with memories for their new home.

[@mariedunn3774]

I like the tree design the best but they are all so pretty and not hard, I feel inspired! One of my favorite traditions is to do a version of a classic British stocking, the way my mom used to do - a tangerine or clementine, some gold foil wrapped chocolates… and in my family, every year a new Pez dispenser! I do this with my nieces and nephews to keep their MomMom’s memory with them, at least I hope so.

[@andreatorraca8755]

So pretty,tradition , singing Christmas Eve as children.

[@pamelahall3699]

when our kids were little we always went to Big Lots (a discount store) on Christmas Eve morning and got crayons, coloring books and a story to read. now that my husband and I are on our own we still go out on Christmas Eve to a store to get crayons and coloring books and a book to read. We take them by a local hospital and drop them off at the children's ward. Instead of three sets (the number of kids we had) we get 11 sets...one for each of our children and grandchildren.

[@JackiePeacock]

Omg love it! Must be thinking the same thing because I’m prepping to teach a watercolor cards workshop and include the taping method for trees, but instead we’re painting in lines 🤩.

[@reggiemc7]

These are lovely cards that I hope to recreate myself. Thanks for this great tutorial and teaching skills! My latest Christmas tradition is driving through our neighborhood to see the different painted signs showing our neighborhood mascot, the ostrich, reflecting the homeowner’s hobby or original hometown, all in a fun cartoon-fashion. A local artist does them but I did a take on my roommate’s SCUBA passion that came out okay. 😅

[@jennifermoisan9914]

I just discovered your channel. This is the third video I have watched. You explain so well. I am inspired to try my own cards. My daughter and I like making Christmas ornaments and other crafted gifts to give at Christmas. My mother did this with me and I am so pleased to have passed it along to her.
