Hey First name / friends!  
 
Can you believe it's already December?? 2021 has flown by! 
 
I loved seeing your food-themed art last week for Thanksgiving! Let's keep the holiday magic going this week! We're heading into the holiday season, and this month the #CreateWithCatCoq challenges will focus on different skills you can use to create unique holiday gifts!
 
The first thing people receive - even before the gift itself - is a card! Make your holiday cards stand out this year with a personal touch. My favorite way to personalize my holiday cards is with hand lettering!
 
 
For this week's #CreateWithCatCoq challenge I'd love to see your hand-drawn (or digitally drawn!) holiday cards. Share your designs on Instagram using the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and tag me @catcoq so I can see what you make!
 
Want tips on perfecting your hand-lettering before making your holiday cards?
 
Check out this blog post that goes over the basics you need to know to get started with hand lettering.

Looking for a more advanced tutorial? I have an entire class dedicated to brush lettering and calligraphy. In this class, I dive into the exact techniques I use to create all of my hand-lettered artwork.
