    Top 10 Free Printables on the TPK Blog | The Postman's Knock

    Whenever I look through photos hashtagged #thepostmansknock on Instagram, I always feel surprised and pleased at where TPK printables end up! I see people using TPK free printables in the US, Europe, Australia, Central and South America, India, Singapore, The Philippines, and beyond. That — to me — is the coolest thing. The internet really does connect us in a profound way, and I’m proud that the printables on this site help so many different people to stretch their creativity!

    Top 10 Free Printables on the TPK Blog | The Postman's Knock

    For today’s post, I thought I’d offer a little roundup of the top 10 free printables here on the TPK website! These are the free printables that have been downloaded the most:

    1. Basic Brush Pen Calligraphy Worksheet

    Free Brush Pen Calligraphy Worksheet | The Postman's Knock

    The Basic Brush Pen Calligraphy Worksheet is the #1 most downloaded free printable on the TPK blog! It’s also the printable I see people using the most on Instagram. The worksheet was created to supplement the Free Brush Pen Calligraphy Worksheet blog post, where you’ll find more information about using brush pens for calligraphy.

    2. Standard Calligraphy Worksheets

    Beth Style Basic Calligraphy Worksheet | The Postman's Knock

    For every premium TPK calligraphy worksheet set, there’s a very basic 1-2 page version! I am grouping all of the standard calligraphy worksheets below this paragraph. Note, however, that they are all relatively different based on the calligraphy style and when they were created. No matter which templates you download, it’s best to print them on 32# laserjet paper, which works beautifully with dip pen calligraphy!

    • Beth Style Standard Calligraphy Worksheet
    • Janet Style Standard Calligraphy Worksheet
    • Kaitlin Style Standard Calligraphy Worksheet
    • Amy Style Standard Calligraphy Worksheet
    • Flourish Formal Style Standard Calligraphy Worksheet

    3. George Style Lettering Exemplar

    "George Style" Printable Hand-Lettering Exemplar | The Postman's Knock

    George Style Lettering is one of my favorite ways to write, and I see people doing really fun things with it on Instagram! It’s a great geometric block lettering style to mix and match with calligraphy. You can learn more about George Style Lettering in this blog post, or you can go ahead and download the free exemplar by clicking here.

    4. Free Printable Flourish Worksheet

    Calligraphy Flourishing for Beginners | The Postman's Knock

    The Simple Flourish Worksheet gives you some flourish practice and tips! Be sure to print it out on 32# laserjet paper or another printer paper that can accommodate a dip pen and ink. The worksheet was created to accompany the Calligraphy Flourishing for Beginners post.

    5. Printable Illustrated Menu Planner

    Illustrated Printable Menu Planner | The Postman's Knock

    I hand-drew and hand-calligraphed the elements on the Printable Illustrated Menu Planner to make it perfect for your kitchen! It’s a design that marries elegance and function to keep your weekly meal planning on track. You can read more about the process behind making it in this blog post.

    6. Printable Goal List with Botanical Border

    Printable Goal List with Botanical Border | The Postman's Knock

You can learn more about the process behind making this printable and some tips for goal-making in this blog post!

    7. Free Adult Coloring Page: Parfum et Fleurs

    Free Adult Coloring Pages + Why Coloring is Cool | The Postman's Knock

    I love this grown-up “Parfum et Fleurs” printable, which would look beautiful framed in any powder room! Please feel free to pick your own color scheme; you’ll be amazed at how different this artwork can look based on the colors. For example, take a look at my bold, colorful rendition above, then check out the more muted and demure version by @delxsee on Instagram. I think I like hers better, actually! You can read tips about coloring and learn more about the creation of this printable in this blog post.

    8. Free Printable Armoire Template

One of the coolest things you can do with a pointe One of the coolest things you can do with a pointed pen isn’t write a word — it’s build a picture with nothing but flourishes. 🪶✨

This tropical parrot was such a joy to create, and TPK’s newest worksheet walks you through how to make your own version step by step. Whether you’re tracing to get a feel for the movement or freehand flourishing the final piece, it’s both relaxing and skill-building — a nice balance of creative play and pointed pen precision.

You don’t need to be a pointed pen expert to try it. Just take it stroke by stroke, give yourself permission to go slow, and enjoy the process. 🖋️

Your first thought watching this might be: “Why Your first thought watching this might be: “Why all the fuss for an envelope?” ✉️✨

Try it yourself and you’ll see why. 😉 This kind of envelope is something I create for my own relaxation—it’s just a bonus that the recipient gets to enjoy it, too! There’s nothing better than settling in with a great podcast 🎧 or show 📺, prepping your ink 🖋️, and slowly building up a design like this one.

If your next thought is, “How would I even begin to make something like this?”—well, I’ve got you. 💛 This timelapse is pulled from a full 30-minute video lesson that walks you through the whole process, from layout to flourishes to gold details. You can find it on the TPK Blog (link in bio → “How to Make a Fabulously Flourished Calligraphy Envelope”). Have fun with it! 💌

In the latest TPK article, I’m exploring 8 common myths about calligraphy—the kinds of quiet beliefs that convince us we’re not “artsy” enough, don’t have the time, or that messy handwriting means we’re not cut out for it. 🖋 Let’s rewrite that story (literally—with pen in hand!).

Here’s your gentle permission to begin. 💌

Sometimes, texting feels like a chore (surely I’ Sometimes, texting feels like a chore (surely I’m not the only one who feels this way?). 📱 You’re trying to be thoughtful, but there’s pressure to reply quickly, to keep the conversation going. Postcards don’t come with that pressure. They’re just joy—for the sender and the recipient.

That’s why I love making them. It’s a low-pressure, creative little ritual that turns scraps into keepsakes. And when that postcard lands in someone’s mailbox? There’s no distracting “ping”, no reply needed—just a quiet little surprise waiting among the bills. 💌

Give it a try! This carousel walks you through the basics, and the full tutorial (with all the little details) is in the April 9th post on the TPK Blog—link in bio.

Calligraphy drills are one of my favorite ways to improve pointed pen skills and relax at the same time. They’re meditative, satisfying, and surprisingly powerful—whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned calligrapher warming up.

I spent three days testing, staining my fingers (and a rug), and figuring out the perfect way to turn wine into calligraphy ink — and now I get to show you exactly how to do it. From deep burgundy tones to soft gradients, it’s romantic, unexpected, and surprisingly satisfying.

The full tutorial — including the recipe, nib tips, and how to avoid smudging — lives on the TPK blog. Once you click into the post, you’ll be prompted to join Premium (it’s just $1 for your first month with code FIRSTMONTH).

When I watched @thehappyevercrafter’s reel about When I watched @thehappyevercrafter’s reel about stepping away from the content hamster wheel, I felt it in my bones. The second baby, the shifting algorithms, the slow burn of burnout… yep. Been there. Last fall, I took the leap and launched TPK Premium — a cozy, creative space away from the noise where I can actually teach again. Write again. Share again.

One of this month’s Premium treats? A pointed pen worksheet built around this bold Lucille Ball quote: “I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than the things I haven’t.” It’s flourishy, unapologetic, and a perfect reminder to say yes to the creative things calling your name.

If you’ve been on the fence about joining Premium, consider this your sign. I’d love to see you inside. 💛 Visit any of the blog posts from the link in my profile to sign up! Try a month and see how it goes! There’s some really neat content coming this April, including how to write with red wine and how to make a gorgeous flourished parrot.
