Thank you for simple beautiful card ideas. My favorite is the one with layers of colors. These are just what I was looking for!

Debra Broido

Thanks so much for doing these. I am so excited to paint them. You are right. It will be nice to get an early start on my Christmas cards. Are you considering doing a Christmas or winter theme scene in November? One of my ideas was to do a pretty scene and then photograph it and put it on cards via Shutterfly.

Ann Bonner

Great Christmas tree designs , Harriet and your timing is perfect for Christmas. I love your traditional one- I think I will try to put it into a snowy landscape- thank you again for inspiring me.

Emilie

Thank you, Harriet! These are lovely and so doable. I quite like the lower left tree and, in particular, learning how to create the 'spatter' effect!

Angela

Please could you tell me if you used HP or CP? Many thanks.

Angela

Apologies, hot or cold pressed paper.

de Winton Paper co.

Ah! I wondered if that might be what you meant. It's cold pressed. Cold pressed is my default go-to paper.

Angela

Thank you 😊

Jean

I like them all. I think my favorite though is the bottom right. Can't wait to get started. For some reason mine don't quite turn out that way. Although after watching you I think I figured it out. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial! 😊

Janie Landis

Loved all 4. Can’t wait to try them out. Thanks for another great tutorial! 😊

Tanya

beautiful ive been working on my cards already and learned some more tips as always 🎄

Mary MacDonald

Last year I made all my Christmas cards and everyone loved them. I look back and they really don’t look very good. I hope I’ve improved since then. However, I’ve learned a lot from you. As they say Practice, Practice and more Practice. Thank you, Harriet!

de Winton Paper co.

AH Mary, I bet they were great! And the most important thing is everyone loved them!

Estela Lozdon

I did three tree cards and one snow man card (I could do a circle without compass.. yeah). Put a little of my own twist to each. I'm so grateful of your tutorials. I am finally becoming a little more comfortable with watercolors :).
