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 July Reader!

Whew. What a week. In case you missed it, this week I made the decision to officially close the chapter on live ShowMeYourDrills semesters. The one starting on Monday will be the last one EVER. (So if you're on the fence about joining us, this is your last chance. You can sign up here.)

I have a new video for you this week (an honest product review) and a couple updates.

Enjoy!

Acrylic Marker Review


I'm always looking for new supplies to try (I'm addicted!).

And I'm a total sucker for a nice brush pen.

I tested out these fun acrylic markers from Ohuhu and gave all my honest thoughts in realtime.

Have you tried them yet?!

FINAL CALL for the Last LIVE ShowMeYourDrills Semester Ever!


When I first tried to learn calligraphy, I assumed I could teach myself...

But I struggled badly until an instructor introduced me to the foundational basic strokes, which completely changed everything.

I became obsessed with calligraphy and realized many others were frustrated because most resources skipped the basics.

That's why I created ShowMeYourDrills - the beginner-friendly resource I wish I'd had.

It has now helped 446,070+ people (🀯) learn calligraphy from the ground up.

SMYD is currently open for enrollment for its last live semester ever. It starts on Monday and is completely free.

The course is intentionally paced at about 20 minutes a day to help you build skills without feeling overwhelmed.

You'll get full workbooks, 20+ videos, a supplies guide, mentors to answer questions and give feedback, and access to the very best (& most supportive) community of other beginners to learn with​.

The new semester starts in three days (July 6th) - I hope to see you there!


Free Signage Workshop with Mabz Happening Next Week!


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...


GUESS WHAT I DID THIS WEEK?!

I accomplished my face painting bucket list goal! (Just like I said I wanted to in this video!)

On Canada Day, I had a lineup of kids (and some adults, even!) who wanted their faces painted. And I did it!

Was it perfect? Omg no.

But did I accomplish a crafty goal? Yup.

Wahoo! βœ…

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOUR WEEKLY DAD JOKE!

I adopted my dog from a blacksmith.
