Creative Hand-Lettering Tutorials: Part I

March 25, 2015 by Lindsey Bugbee 25 Comments

Creative Hand Lettering Tutorials Part I  | The Postman's Knock

In a world where computer-generated type dominates, hand-lettering stands out in a beautiful way. If you want someone to notice something, write it out and embellish it! It doesn’t matter if you’re designing on a professional level {business cards, posters, billboards, etc.}, or if your goal is unique mail art. Either way, your lettering will get noticed! Today, I’ve put together three hand-lettering tutorials to inspire you; and more will follow in the next TPK blog post.

10 Ways to Draw Laurel Wreaths

10 Ways to Draw Laurel Wreaths | The Postman's Knock

Laurel leaves are the “it” design element right now. Anything you can possibly imagine creating — from a whimsical and approachable logo to an artistic wedding suite — can benefit from one.

How I Learned Calligraphy

December 18, 2014 by Lindsey Bugbee 76 Comments

My Calligraphy Story | Lindsey Bugbee
A couple of days ago, I received a thought-provoking email from someone. In the email, I was asked: “When you first started doing calligraphy did you like how it looked? Did it take a while before you felt you were doing a good job and you liked how you did it? … I’m hoping if I practice enough I will get good at it – is there hope?!” I remember having the same questions — and you might, too. Since sometimes it’s just nice to read about how someone else achieved something, I thought maybe it would be fun for you to read about how I learned calligraphy, and the ups and downs along the way.

Recent Creations

Nautical Event | The Postman's Knock

I haven’t blogged for about a week, and since I have {joyously!} been getting all the materials prepared for Emily’s Atlanta wedding, I don’t have a tutorial prepared. Instead, I thought I’d talk a little bit about the projects I have been working on lately, my recent creations.

Cityscape Illustration Tutorial

Atlanta Cityscape Illustration | The Postman's Knock

Today’s blog post is essentially The Odyssey of illustration-centric blog posts. Like Odysseus, I underestimated how long my quest would take. Unlike Odysseus, I was only down for the count three days creating this Atlanta cityscape illustration.

Handwritten Wedding Invitations | The Postman's Knock

You’ll have to forgive me for dropping the ball on posting this weekend; we have fallen victim to the Game of Thrones epidemic. Yesterday, all we did was lie in bed, eat mochi, and feed our newfound addiction via binge-watching. Needless to say, no work got done — but that’s okay because I’m making up for it today with a free calligraphy worksheet for you!

Persian-Inspired Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

Persian-Inspired Gold Foil Invitation Suite | The Postman's Knock

I am confident that my friends have been avoiding me this month after discovering my zeal for these gold foil wedding invitations. They’re all I have talked about the past couple of weeks — I am utterly and completely in love with them, and I gush about them to anyone who will listen. Luckily for my friends, I have a blog where I can write about this sort of thing, and I’m going to let it all out here!

How to Heat Emboss

How to Heat Emboss | The Postman's Knock

There are a lot of people out there who love stamping, and are very talented when it comes to that art form. To be perfectly honest, I am not usually one of those people. However, I have been working on a gold wedding suite for a beloved Georgia client, and after some Pinteresting I realized that heat embossing on RSVP envelopes would be the perfect way to efficiently {and beautifully!} put the client’s address on her RSVP envelopes.
