There are few things I love more than a night full of creativity and spending time with my gal pals so combining the two seemed like a truly brilliant idea. I invited my bestie over for a little evening of lettering (and to share some of the tips and trick I've been learning) with some wine and Chinese food!

To start with I printed off some freebie lettering sheets for them just so they could get the hang of some lettering styles and to show how different it is from normal handwriting. I know this is something I still struggle with so it's always useful to utilise the materials others provide! I also introduced them to the drills worksheets that The Happy Ever Crafter made but have just told them to sign up to that, click the link above to do the same! This is something I'd highly recommend to everyone starting their hand lettering journey, the tools that Becca has put together are nothing short of amazing and I've purchased every workbook she's published since. Anyway, I digress...

Lucie & Dawn were introduced to the wonderful world of heat embossing and finetec watercolours (be sure to read my review of them!). 


















Both of them commented on how much they loved working with both the finetec watercolours and the heat embossing tools. I always think that heat embossing is particularly magical the first couple of times you do it but the magic persists! Hence my unhealthy addiction to embossing on everything. As you can probably see from the background of these images, some of our boyfriends enjoyed a particularly intense night on FIFA...
So, I suggest to any of you lettering addicts or those curious about trying out something new to host a fun craft and catch up night with some friends! It's relaxing, fun and it could mean you share and learn some new skills which is always a great thing! 

I'll leave you with the final pieces my friends created, aren't they beautiful?!
