You might have a hand lettering obsession when you're watching The Happy Ever Crafter videos at 6am
Of course
Becca you are ridiculous, I paid for the complete calligraphy class but, you just keep giving more and more. I’m not a real weeping kind of person but, you’re killing me with so much kindness. You have literally gone above and beyond. Thank you just doesn’t cover the gratitude I feel. ❤️
I agree! I can’t believe how giving she is. Sometimes people have knowledge or a gift and they keep it close to the chest. I am always amazed how she shares so freely! ❤️
Some people want to keep the “how to‘s” a big secret, but Becca is going to create legions of competent calligraphers! This is actually a wonderful gift to society and the world, especially in a time when people write less and less.
It truly is an art form, and the more people who practice art, the better!💗
When I was doing my wedding envelopes I found the over-top template too constricting for the block lettering. So I measured all my envelopes out and made a template of DARK LINES that I put inside each envelope to see through for the guide. Of course that only works on white (or light-colored) envelopes. :) Great video
Your “rough” calligraphy is like 10x better than my “good” one 😂😂😭
The link to the template does not seem to be working. It takes me to the "New Website Coming" page. Is there another way to get the template? thanks
I agree with what others have noted about Becca’s generosity! I can’t believe how giving she is. Sometimes people have knowledge or a gift and they keep it close to the chest. I am always amazed how she shares so freely! ❤️

Thank you for the awesome template! It would be really great in an upcoming video to see what to do with names like, “Mr. & Mrs. Something” or names with a lot of descenders, etc. that make it difficult to determine which justification to use. Love this video!
Jennifer Winters on envelopes you dont use the 2.1.2 ratio but 2.1.1,5 or even 2.1.1 ie the descenders are shorter than the ascenders. If in doubt leave the descenders incomplete and once you have written all the name and the first line of the address you'll know how much you can descend. If a letter " crashes" against another, you dont write the whole of the second letter but leave some minimal space before the line goes into the first letter. It will look finished to the eye and it wont look messy. Hope this helps. Val
vallisdero ...you helped me! Thanks Val 🙏🏼😁
Who noticed the no. 7 turning to no. 9 in 14:57.....
This woman is just AWESOME! 😍she has a video for everything! Woooooaahhh! Can't wait to learn more ❤️
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 ! 😝
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
Awesome video. Thanks Becca. I am struggling with wedding invitations - Mr. and Mrs. John Doe? Mr. John and Mrs. Jane Doe? It seems very long... I want the names of everyone invited, in a specific household, to be on the label because I don't have an inner envelope. So, for a family of 5, it could be Mr. and Mrs. John Doe and the next line would be Jim, Jack and Jenny????? I have seen a variety of examples, but I would love YOUR advise.
I can’t thank you enough! This video was so helpful I’ve got my template and it’s awesome! ❤️❤️
I don't know how you keep giving us free things and still keep your business running. We still love it though!
Thank you so much something i can try out in quarantine
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*
Becca, any tips for cutting the envelope template? Yet to be successful at cutting it!!! Please help!!!! 🙏
Dear Women, your handwriting is pretty 😍
Just found your videos. Thank you for the template.
How do you erase the pencil without it smudging the ink? Do you wait until it dries and do it later? Thanks
Your tutorials are always so helpful! Thank You for sharing your incredible work✨
I just hope Sarah is fake too and not expecting any letters. Cause you made a ‘typo’ in the postal code Hahahaha
Femke Witteveen yes of course Sarah is fake. What typo, though?
The Happy Ever Crafter i believe the printout you used had a 9 and you wrote a 7 or something like that.

Thank you so much for sharing ! 💕 I’m a beginner I don’t know anything about modern calligraphy, I just started watching your basic tutorial late October and now me and my son 10 yrs old he can write perfectly the letter ‘h’ and he was so proud of it 😅 even took my pen to school lols! Thank you so much! Bless You! I’ll tag you one day on IG when we are brave enough to show our calligraphy lols!
This is amazing!
Getting ready to address my wedding invitation….nervous:)
Becca, thank you so much for sharing so much of your expertise and knowledge with us. It’s greatly appreciated! And also thank you for your generosity with all the freebies you offer - you are SO giving! 🙏🏻💕
Becca, you are amazing! I purchased the entire set, yet you continually offer free bits of help and templates that are above and beyond!!! This is perfect timing for me on this topic! I am going to do my son's graduation envelopes!!! Thank you again!!!
Do I need to pay for TH-cam to be able to download your template?
thank you!!!! what great information =)
A hand addressed letter is usually the first letter a person will open
I will definitely be adding this envelope style for my Christmas cards this year! I usually send out about 40 so it will be a nice practice exercise. Thank you!!
Would you have an example of address to two people?
You are so generous and helpful! Thank you for all the awesome lessons and free stuff! I am excited to become better and better at calligraphy!
Thank you so much, Becca! I can always count on your for the best lettering advice! XO
Do you use the soft or hard Fudenosuke pen?
Tutorial for decorating your calligraphy and hand letter
Your palimino pencil is long...😂
In the top 10 supplies video it was so small!!!😂😂😂
Maybe she bought more lol. She did mention that she uses palominos all the time.
@@decimator2497 Yes....
Hi, thank you very much for the amazing video..I live in the UK and I do Copperplate and Persian calligraphy and I am more than ready to do envelopes or flower cards ,but I have no idea how to find clients!! Any tips will go a long way 🌷
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.😊
Great tutorial!! I have used your template many times especially when I am addressing a lot of cards like at Christmas time! Thanks!!
Hi Becca, I'm so happy you are back. Straight line lettering is So Important, helps make up for imperfect writing. Big hug😊
The palomino blackwing! My favorite pencil.
did not see this video until today - mailed my christmas cards YESTERDAY. OOOPS!
5 min ago I am so early! !!
It’s pronounced Tombow Foo-day-NO-skay (Fudenoske)
Clearcut, helpful and useful information for every Calligrapher plus
Hi Becca this is Vickie Ming tying to download the envelop template. it just new website coming soon. Is there another place I can download it?
Very helpful, Becca. Thanks so much. Most envelopes I address are A2 size but I can adjust the template easily enough. Off to watch your Block Lettering tutorial again! Glad to see you're keeping well. 🙂
Rebecca, I haven't seen any woman without any eye makeup to look as beautiful as you do. And also, I would like to thank you for your creativity and ideas.
Very useful👍👌👍
Thank you so much! This is so helpful. I was wondering, though...how do you handle longer names? I am thinking of quite a few that would come up. Would you make your address smaller so that the name still would "pop"?
Omg I love all of your videos been with you for like 5 years but started 3 lol
Hi, do you have any placement suggestions for the return addresses?
Have you used pilot friction erasable markers for hand lettering? Wasn't sure if they be better since I'm learning
Love your channel! Have subscribed :D unfortunately the website is still down right now
I'm interested to know how did you learn all about calligraphy and types of paper and pens?
tombow pens are one of my favorites!!! they are great for learning to do calligraphy as well.
when you charge for lettering an envelope, do you include your purchasing of the stamps? or does the client buy the stamps?
Thank you Becca. You are truly amazing. Thank you for the template. Ordered my laser tool today. That is totally amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for your tips and trics. Very helpfull for me. May I ask what the font is you used on your computer template of the adres? It is so nice
thank you
Wow very interesting . I’m lifted hand , it’s not easy but with your trick I guess it will be easier
You are amazing Madam . Very useful video. Thank you
Perfect timing Becca 🌸 working on bridal shower invitations! Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Love it!
Thank you for the template. Most people/companies charge for these. Much appreciated.

Does your black letters fade when you erase your pencil lines underneath?
I haven't had the courage to start practicing yet. I have Depression and anxiety and I'm full of fear. I watch every episode and I'm going to start in the New year Becca with Crayola to practise. Thanks Becca. Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🎁🎅🎄🎁
I also live in the UK and my address is about 5 lines. How would I get that on the back of an envelope Becca
Dumb question... How do you cut out template?
This basic tutorial was great. Good Foundation! Looking forward to the next one! thanks
Thanks so much Becca! This was extremely helpful! I love how clearly you explain things.
Great ideas as always! Love the measuring tape & I have been eying the laser level in your videos
I love a good blackwing pencil!! nice to see others enjoying it too!
Becca, Awesome video!!! Thank you!
Thank you for the envelope guide line download!
Becca,
Your voice is soothing and instruction very clear, thanks, can you suggest a pen for writing on glossy postcards?
thanks
Posca paint pens!!!
Thank You Becca!!! for your never ending freebies!!! There must be a website that shows how to address envelopes for different occasions. Since you're engaged and are probably going to address you're invitations....if you come across a website that shows how to address them for different occasions and/or people living together in an array of situations....please share!!! Thank You again!!!
A search for "invitation envelope rules" will give you several sites to try.
