The Happy Ever Crafter

Hi, I'm Becca Courtice, a modern calligrapher and instructor from Ottawa, Ontario β€” I'm here to teach you everything I know! πŸ‘‹

Happy Friday Reader!

Now that the busyness of Workshop Week is over, I am slowly getting my office set up in the new house. Not there yet, but I'll show you once it's ready!

For now, I have a new watercolour card tutorial for you and reminders for the new live ShowMeYourDrills semester and the workshop with Mabz. 😍

Enjoy!

Easy Watercolour Cards with Grabie!


I needed to make some thank you cards this week and decided to test the new Grabie All-In-One Watercolour Set.

I've never tried them before, so I challenged myself to use them for my thank you card project.

The cards turned out SO cute (and were super easy to make!)

The LIVE ShowMeYourDrills Semester starts July 6th!


ShowMeYourDrills is my free calligraphy course, and it's currently open for enrollment (I only open enrollment once a year!). ​

We start from the very basics– you don't need ANY experience with calligraphy or art, and your current handwriting does not matter.

In the free course, you'll get:

βœ”οΈ Full access to an online course portal (just like a paid course, but it's free!)

βœ”οΈ 20+ videos

βœ”οΈ Supplies PDF guide

βœ”οΈ Full printable, traceable workbooks​

βœ”οΈ Access to a private Circle Community (and "mentors" to help answer your questions!)

βœ”οΈ The very best (& most supportive) community of other beginners to learn with​

The new semester starts July 6th - I hope to see you there!


Free Signage Workshop with Mabz!


Mabz (@chalkedbymabz for those of you who don't know her!) and I have partnered up on a new free workshop as part of the Art & Business of Modern Calligraphy Summit!

Using a free template, we're teaching a lesson on how to easily & effectively get your lettering and calligraphy onto bigger and more challenging surfaces – glass, wood, chalkboards, and acrylic.

We're teaching what pens to use (and not use), how to do the actual transfer process, our tips & tricks for troubleshooting, and more.

Oh and we're also giving away insaaaaaanely helpful paint pen cheat sheets that have previously only been available inside our full signage course. 🀫

Anyway, just wanted to share it and fill you in on that new summit for calligraphers in case you hadn't seen it yet πŸ₯°

What I've Been Up To This Week...


Okay I can't show you exactly what this is yet because it's a surprise for the recipient, BUUUUUT, this week I've been working on a paint-by-numbers, which has actually been SO FUN.

And on Wednesday, Joanne and Mabz came over for lunch and I even convinced them to paint with me while we gabbed. It's honestly so fun!

(I got a custom one from Davincified where they make a paint-by-numbers of one of your own photos, it's legitimately cool. I'll show you when it's done!)

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOUR WEEKLY DAD JOKE!
