i set up all my envelopes with stamps while I was drawing my guidelines, but I am relatively confident in my rudimentary calligraphy skills and I know my loved ones won’t care if theyre a little imperfect as long as they get an invitation lol.
Edit: also if you have a 4H pencil, that’s my favorite for guidelines – they erase so nicely
thank you
The palomino blackwing! My favorite pencil.
Would you have an example of address to two people?
Dear Women, your handwriting is pretty 😍
I took an honest to goodness typing class in high school and we learned to count the letters AND spaces in the phrase/title that we needed to center and divide the number in half. So if , for example you wanted to find the center point of Becca Courtice… that’s 14… so the midpoint is between the C and o in the last name. This became my secret weapon as a teacher when putting up bulletin boards ! 😝
How do you erase the pencil without it smudging the ink? Do you wait until it dries and do it later? Thanks
Do I need to pay for YouTube to be able to download your template?
Hi Becca, I'm so happy you are back. Straight line lettering is So Important, helps make up for imperfect writing. Big hug😊
Great video! So helpful! The way I like to center words/phrases/addresses is to roughly sketch them in the size and font that I'm going to be writing. Then just fold in half and there's pretty much your center without any measuring.😊
Just found your videos. Thank you for the template.
Do you use the soft or hard Fudenosuke pen?
just love the way you did the Envelopes. I like the idea of embellishment but I think these simple ones are very sophisticated Thank you Becca for sharing with us x
