Make your own lettered Christmas cards this holiday season with
the HOLIDAY LETTERING WORKBOOKS
If you are reading this, I have a feeling one of these may be you…
→ You like to paint and draw, but when it comes to lettering it feels intimidating.
→ You like to look at “pretty” lettering on instagram and at some point had thought “I’d love to try that.”
→ You have tried lettering before, but it just doesn’t seem to be working out.
TESTIMONIAL:
“I’ve tried watercolor and I love it! However, when it came to lettering I was always apprehensive. Knowing it was the missing link for my handmade Christmas cards, i gave this workbook a try and I’m so glad I did!” - Lauren
If that is you, keep reading
Because these awesome people make lettering approachable, accessible, and simple.
I channeled all that I had learned from teaching in-person workshops to teaching online and packed it into these workbooks.
I had a few people test these workbooks out and their excitement and joy after they created their own cards showed me that I needed to see this idea through!
Look at these beautiful cards designed by Teresa, Jessica, and Addison who is 11. These workbooks are for any age!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
“The biggest and best discovery for me is what a difference it makes writing inside your boxes - it's a game changer. I've never used a guide like that before and I can't tell you how much easier it feels." - Deb
HERE’S HOW TO USE THE LAYOUT BOXES
Step 1
Draw your letters inside the layout squares.
I designed and sized the template boxes for cards 4.5” x 6” and 5” x 7”, so all you have to do is add your letters in. This also helps to letter on a straight line!
Step 2
Use a light pad to trace your lettering onto the card.
This step is a game changer and why I love using a light pad. If you don’t have one, you can also use a window with light shining through.
Step 3
Use paint or markers to trace over your pencil lettering.
You did the hard part so now you can paint your cards! In this example, I painted a watercolor wash and then traced the lettering with gold paint. Here is it on my Instagram @nicolemiyuki
Are you still on the fence?
Here are some frequently asked questions!
-
You can use any computer paper you have. You don’t need anything fancy!
-
Is there a family member or your neighbor you can ask? Or maybe your work or your local library. If those options aren’t available you can go to your local FedEx or Staples and print it there.
-
Not at all! I suggest you use a pencil for the workbook, but when you letter on your cards, you have creative freedom to use what you prefer.
Here are a few supplies I love:
-
I recommend a light pad so that you can easily trace your lettering from the workbook on your final cards. But if you don’t have one you can use a window with light through it.
-
Yes! The workbook breaks it down step-by-step and the template boxes included are designed to eliminate common frustrations.
-
I truly believe so. We are not focusing on “thin on the up, thick on the down” with traditional lettering. Instead, we are playing with the loops and swirls of letters to help you draw and design your letters rather than “write” them.
-
In the workbook I do not, but I will be sharing simple cards to make on my instagram @nicolemiyuki. The reason why there aren’t step-by-step painting tutorials is because I want you to be able to use this lettering guide to fit in with your own painting style. Whether that be watercolor, markers, acrylic or bullet journaling!
