I experiment with new materials and supplies constantly for my (traditional) hand lettering. I would actually be scared to know how much time I’ve spent eyeing different hand lettering supplies (and reading their reviews) over on Amazon. I’ve invested in a lot of new ones this year and currently I have 5 favorites that I find myself always returning to and reordering. If you’re just starting out with lettering, or if you’re on the hunt for some new supplies but would like to read a real (almost every day) user review, here are my current top 5 favorite hand lettering supplies (totally unbiased, with no affiliation to any of em) 🙂

Happy Tuesday! I want to start by saying wow to everyone who has checked out Bounce Lettering! I’m so grateful for all of the kind feedback and I am so impressed and inspired by all of the wonderful projects that are coming out of the class! I thought I’d take bounce lettering/waterbrush lettering even a little further this week with a free add-on tutorial to both classes.

A style that is gaining in popularity over on Instagram is rainbow brush lettering. It would take foreverrrr to alternate colors to form a word, let alone form the word as pretty as you’d like with so many re-dips. In this week’s video, I’m sharing a trick for applying a rainbow of color to your brush lettering without a zillion re-dips in the process 🙂 There are two methods shown in the video – one to ease you into the process and the other to take full advantage of all the colors you’d like. Links to the products used + everything you need to know to start rainbow brush lettering below!

With the release of my new class, Bounce Letters: Adding Character to your Hand Lettering this week, I thought it was only right to share a little bit of bounce lettering inspiration! I love how the bounce effect can really be used with any kind of lettering style. From quotes, to pantry labels, to plain old phrases, the addition of a bounce can give something plain or simple a pretty big personality. So grab a pen, paintbrush, marker, or crayon and put your new skills to work because you’re about to get hit with inspiration 😉 Click on any image below to be brought to its source!

My brand new Skillshare class, Bounce Letters: Adding Character to your Hand Lettering, is officially live! To celebrate its launch, today I wanted to share the trailer for the class, as well as a sneak peek of one of the class videos which you’d only see if you were enrolled. Below the video, I’ve also included links to everything you saw mentioned in the sneak peek if your current lettering supplies could use a few more friends 😉

If you’ve taken Waterbrush Lettering Essentials, this is the perfect follow up class to take your own personal lettering style that much further. In the class, we talk about how bounce is influenced on letter direction, how much exaggeration is *just* enough, the best places to add bounce and not add bounce, as well as some practice words to get you started. Have a peek below for everything covered in the class!

Happy Thursday! So, today I’m doing something a little different..a written craft tutorial 🙂 I created a Happy Birthday block print a few months back to save a little dough on birthday cards this year (plus, who doesn’t love a hand made card better anyway?!), and I took process photos as I carved. I came across the process shots the other night and thought they’d be fun to share. Lucky timing too, if anyone wants to block print some holiday cards this year (wink, wink). The process is super simple and the final outcome has such a crafty, love-injected feel that just looking through the photos again makes me want to break out my carving tools 🙂 Photos, instructions + links to the products used all listed below!
