November 2014

Happy Tuesday + happy almost Thanksgiving! In honor of one of our best holidays, this week’s freebie is a set of 4 unique, hand lettered mini thank you cards. The download includes all 4 in a pdf with printing, cutting + folding instructions. Final printed + folded size is 4″x2″ which -fancy this- fits perfectly in the mini envelopes freebie! Use these babies to thank a friend by attaching to a bouquet of flowers, or as a placecard on your Thanksgiving, or any table 🙂 And a HUGE, special + heartfelt thank YOU for visiting, downloading, watching + commenting. You’ve really made all the time + effort it takes to add content on a weekly basis so worth it! It’s been a great blogging year, and I can’t wait to do it all again – even more frequently in the coming year 🙂 xoxo

Driving through our neighborhood on the way home Friday night, I couldn’t help but notice the vibe in our subdivision had changed…holiday lights were going up! I love this time of year; it just felt like it came sooner than usual this year. To ring in the start of the holiday decorating season, in this week’s tutorial we create a string of vector holiday lights, then create a pattern brush out of them for unlimited hang-them-where-and-how-long-you-want-them use 🙂 Let’s get started!

Happy Tuesday! And Happy Veteran’s Day! My father is a veteran (Marines), both of my grandfathers were veterans (both Navy), and my brother is currently an Air Force pilot, so I have lots to be proud of and grateful for today 🙂 Spence and I actually just got back from California visiting my brother, his wife, and my brand new nephew (born in July) who made me an Aunt for the first time. I’ll be posting a few pics soon from our too-short-of-a-trip. With family on the mind and knowing I’ll be seeing my family again soon for the holidays, this week’s freebie is a set of 2 hand lettered holiday invitation printables. Both are sized 5″x7″ and can fit perfectly in any A7 envelope. If you’d like to pick up the greeting postcard editable version of these + 2 more, you can grab them here.

Can you believe it’s November already?! Even I can’t believe I’m already beginning holiday content! I know a lot of readers like creating their own seasonal stationery or craft items, so in this week’s tutorial, we’ll create a basic Christmas ornament using Adobe Illustrator. It’s quick + easy + perfect for holiday projects in a pinch. Don’t forget to pick up the hand drawn snowflake set from last year here 🙂 Let’s get started!
