This is the current state of my desk because I’m working on a 2021 holiday gift guide for you! Hand lettering edition!

P.S. You will NOT be able to get my book Hand Lettering for Beginners on Amazon for Christmas! Apparently Michaels sold out my book completely and it had to go to a reprint. But printing books is really slow right now so it won’t be available until January!

Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing where you can still get it online! And if you live near Michael’s you can find it there. 🥰

🌈NEW KARIN MARKERS!!🌈 Ok you know that @kari 🌈NEW KARIN MARKERS!!🌈
Ok you know that @karinmarkers are my favorite so when they told me they had new markers I thought there was no way they could be as good as the original.
The sequel is never as good right?
Well... they sent them to me to try and I love these so much!! I was blown away!

👉Tell me what questions you have about them because I’m getting a review video ready for you!!

Here’s the basics: these are called PIGMENT decobrush which means they are light fast (I’ve tested it already). There are 84 colors, similar but creamier than the original colors plus brand new PASTEL colors!!! 🥰
They’re acrylic so you can use them on all kinds of surfaces including black paper. I’ve already tried them on glass, plastic, metal, and fabric. I’ve never tried an acrylic marker with this good of a brush tip!! It’s the same brush tip as the original brush marker pro- my favorite! I’ve also tried blending with them in a few different techniques.

What do you want to know about them?! I seriously can’t wait to share more with you!
Wait till the end... 🌈🌈🌈 was that satisfy Wait till the end... 🌈🌈🌈 was that satisfying?

These are my brand new Flowy Monoline worksheets!! Today is the last day for the discount (May 12). Check my stories for the code. ☺️

These are for you if you’ve been feeling like your lettering is a little stiff and rigid and you aren’t sure how to make it a little more light, airy, and flowy! Give a little freedom to your letters! ✨

Pens are Monami live color!
I know you want to do it all and maybe you ARE cap I know you want to do it all and maybe you ARE capable of doing it all, but at what cost? Aren’t you tired? I’m so tired. This is your permission to let some things go. Not the essential things, just the extra things. You don’t have to do it all. 💕

If you’ve watched any of my recent YouTube videos, you’ve seen me talking about this journal! I got it on a day I was breaking down a month ago and I’ve lettered in it every day since! I’ve never been able to stick to a daily planner or bullet journal but this is working for me! It’s because I simplified it. I have my staedtler highlighters and my journal and that’s it. When I’m tired at the end of the day, I don’t have the energy to choose what pen I’m going to use. I used to just not letter. But now I’ve made it as easy as possible for myself and it’s refilling my energy!

I don’t letter everyday to make sure I’m constantly improving... I letter everyday because I need the calm time to myself and a reminder of all the amazing parts of me. I know lettering can be that for you too. 🥰

👉Can you relate? Or do you crave to feel that way with your lettering?

One day I’ll share more about this journal, but for now, you can find this journal and pens in my amazon favorites (linked in my profile). I made a new section called journaling!

Brush pens should work with you! They bounce back and push against the paper to help you get thin upstrokes. If you’ve been trying all the right techniques and you’re still struggling, try a different brush pen! Different brands of pens work for different types of people!
What brush pen does this for you? Have you found it yet?

These are Stabilo brush pens and they definitely have that really nice bounce you want! 👍 Have you tried them?
