Illustration Resources - Part 2

Happy November! I’m back with Part 2 of my illustration resources for you! If you caught my first post about this back in September, these are basically a way for me to share about some things/people I’ve found to be incredibly helpful in my work and creative life in general. The industry is full of a lot of very cool and talented artists who are sharing their wisdom and skills online, and I think you should know about them, too!

Today, I want to point you to my friend, Jamie Redmond, who is the owner of a greeting card company called The Memorable Image. She’s currently teaching a Calligraphy Club workshop online and it’s only $5 a month to join! Right now we’re learning the basics of calligraphy and will soon learn how to decorate holiday envelopes and create our own festive gift tags and wrapping paper. I, personally, think it’s relaxing and also an excellent distraction from the craziness going on in the world right now.

If you’d like to join, sign up here!

Have you come across any cool online workshops lately? Or have you picked up a new hobby recently? I’d love to hear about it!

Free Printable Gift Tags

The second freebie in my Don't Worry, Eat Cake holiday giveaways is a set of printable gift tags. Download and print at home on card stock, then color in the designs with your favorite materials. I love pink all year long and couldn't help but stick with that pretty color palette here :)

Click here to access the PDF, then download and print with any home printer. You can use any paper you like, but I recommend something a little sturdy, like card stock around 80# or 100# cover weight.
