    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

    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

Earlier this month, my family and I took a trip to Earlier this month, my family and I took a trip to Lima, Peru—and this sketchbook page was my way of bottling it all up. The ceviche, the ocean views, the family time… I didn’t want to forget a second of it. 🐟🌊

If you’ve got a trip coming up—or even a favorite memory you want to hang on to—I made a blog tutorial to walk you through how to turn it into a page like this. It’s low-pressure, fun, and you’ll end up with something that feels like a little treasure. 🖌️

There’s a brand-new tutorial on the TPK Blog tod There’s a brand-new tutorial on the TPK Blog today (link in bio)! You’ll learn how to make this rugged little trifold card, complete with layered watercolor mountains and a calligraphy quote. 🏔 The concept was inspired by a gorgeous floral card from @fpmmac — I just reimagined it with a more outdoorsy feel. Per usual, I used my favorite @greenleafblue palette to paint these earthy, moody peaks. The colors make the whole project feel grounded and bold at the same time.

Full blog access is for TPK Premium members (starting at $5/month), but non-members can still view two articles/month — so you can absolutely check this one out! Every post takes me 2–3 days to create, and I fill them with clear instructions, helpful photos, and ideas you’ll actually want to try.

Sometimes, the best creative projects are the ones Sometimes, the best creative projects are the ones that don’t go exactly as planned. This tree art was made with watercolors and a straw—yes, a straw! The branches take shape as you blow paint across the page, and from there, it’s all about adding leaves and a few cheerful bluebirds. 🌿💙

This technique is relaxing, a little unpredictable, and really satisfying. I hope it gives you a gentle creative reset, especially if you’ve been deep in detail-heavy work lately. 💛

Something magical happens when you sit down with s Something magical happens when you sit down with someone who speaks your creative language ✨ That was definitely the case when my friend Jess of @greenleafblue joined me for a live chat with TPK Premium members! We talked about everything from watercolor quirks to sketchbooks as memory-keepers, creative balance, and the joy of going analog in a digital world.

Jess makes some of the most beautiful handmade watercolors you’ll ever find—but her real superpower might be how she talks about creativity with honesty and depth. I walked away from our conversation feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to make something. I think you will too.

Where do you go when you need a break? Where’s y Where do you go when you need a break? Where’s your “Kokomo”? 

Hernán and I haven’t been back to Lima, his birthplace (and where most of his family still lives), since early 2018. Two small kids and a pandemic later, it seemed like the right time. After returning from an 8-day stay in *stunning* Miraflores, a district in Lima, I’m feeling rejuvenated; creatively, emotionally, and physically. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a vacation, and I had forgotten how important it is to step away from everyday life for a while! 

It’s easy to put off taking a big break or a vacation when you are stuck in the minutiae of everyday life. I’m curious to hear what place motivates you to step away from the routine and get a mental reset!

Here’s a fun little trick for making personalize Here’s a fun little trick for making personalized wrapping paper: just grab a big sheet of paper and a bold marker (I used an oil-based Sharpie I had lying around). Write the recipient’s name and a greeting over and over on the diagonal—starting each new line right where the last one left off. Once you’ve filled the page, flip it over and wrap your gift.
