You've seen those videos on social media, where artists seem to effortlessly create flowing calligraphy lettering. You'd love to be able to create lettering like that, but where do you even start?
Do you want to learn calligraphy but have no idea where to start?
Sound familiar?
I'm Ready to Learn
You want to get into creating, but you don't have much time
Life is stressful and you need a creative outlet
You wish you could create beautiful lettering like others
You have a desire to incorporate the Word into your life more
What if you keep saving those calligraphy videos…
Keep admiring beautiful Scripture art in other people’s homes…
Keep telling yourself, “One day, when life slows down…”
But life doesn’t slow down.
The days keep filling.
The stress keeps piling.
And that quiet longing to create — to dwell in God’s Word and make something beautiful with your hands — keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list. Months turn into years...
And calligraphy becomes another thing you almost did.
Another gift God placed on your heart that never got explored — not because you weren’t capable…
But because it felt confusing, overwhelming, or like it required more time than you had to give.
You keep craving peace, beauty, and intentional time with the Lord…
but your days still feel rushed, noisy, and disconnected.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to know where to start.
You don’t need artistic confidence.
You don’t need hours of uninterrupted time.
You simply need a clear path — laid out step by step — so you can learn at your own pace, return whenever you need, and create Scripture art that reflects His truth.
What if God was inviting you into creativity not as one more thing— but as a place of rest?
there's a better way
Imagine this...
What if you could learn to create beautiful lettering while incorporating the Word into your life more? What if you could find a way to express yourself through a creative outlet that didn't require much time? What if learning modern calligraphy was laid out in a simple, easy-to-follow way that eliminated confusion?
Oh hey there! I’m Carlee. I’m a faith-based entrepreneur and I love Jesus and creating with the talents He has given me. In 2018, my family bought me a calligraphy kit and workbook and I taught myself to do hand lettering. But I was on my own and I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't understand the stroke pressure I should be using, and I didn't realize how important it was to practice each letter. I was so eager to start creating that I neglected learning the basics. I would have progressed faster if I had been consistent and someone was there to show me how everything worked. I had to figure everything out on my own, but let me save you the time and frustration and teach you everything I wish someone had taught me.

Holiday Calligraphy Course
I am currently focusing on calligraphy courses, but I continue to follow God and see where He leads me.
2025: Transition to Calligraphy
I joined an online art internship where I learned the method behind online teaching, both live and prerecorded classes.
2023: Internship
I wanted to find a way to share my art and calligraphy with people, so I launched an Etsy shop selling clipart and wall prints. I eventually left Etsy and started focusing on teaching online courses and private art lessons.
2022: Starting to Share
My family bought me a calligraphy kit and workbook and I taught myself to do hand lettering. I had discovered another art form that I loved!
2018: My Calligraphy Journey Began
When I was 9 years old my parents signed me up for art lessons as an extra-curricular activity. I absolutely fell in love with art and have loved it ever since!
My journey
2016: My Art Journey Began
From my early days as an entrepreneur to helping women create Scripture prints for their home, each moment represents the journey I took to get here.
How I got here
fear of failure
money
time
Are you holding back because of:
This isn't designed as another course to “keep up with,” but as a quiet, always-open space you can come back to — again and again — to learn, practice, and create in a way that feels peaceful and doable, while decompressing from "all the things".
"i have so much going on, i don't need one more thing."
The program is self-paced and you get lifetime access. So even if you're in a busier season of life, you can work through the course on your own schedule. And practicing calligraphy only requires a few minutes a day!
"i don't have the time to create"
If you don't do it now, when will you? Stop dreaming and start doing. This is your time to create beautiful lettering just like what you see on Instagram.
"This isn't the right time"
Time
The problem with
Mastering a skill doesn't happen overnight. Everyone has to start somewhere. As Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "Every artist was first an amateur." Don't put unrealistic expectations on yourself or compare yourself to others. As a matter of fact, we cover confidence and mindset in the course.
"I don't think i'll ever be as good as the people I see"
The course is self-paced and you get lifetime access, which means you have all the time in the world to go through it. Tier 2 also has a custom calligraphy plan and weekly check-ins offering accountability and goal-setting for when you need it.
"I'm a slow learner, it'll take me too long to complete"
Calligraphy is a skill, not a talent, which means you don't have to be born being good at calligraphy to be able to do it. Anybody can learn calligraphy, and even if you make mistakes, that's okay! Mistakes are part of learning. And Tier 2 offers support and personalized feedback if you need it.
"what if i'm not any good at this?"
Fear of Failure
Overcoming
Waiting to buy opens up to distractions and not following through. Remember, you don't want calligraphy to become another thing you almost did.
"i'm going to save up and buy it later"
To put things in perspective, it comes to about $10/video, plus you get the workbooks, lifetime access, the calligraphy community, and the bonuses. And who knows? You could make money from your new skill. Wedding calligraphers charge between $3-7 per envelope for wedding invitations.
"it's too expensive"
You can have a weekend getaway or a skill to last you a lifetime--investing in yourself is always worth it. And a $5-7 specialty Starbucks drink every day adds up.
"i don't have the money"
Money
And then there's
You need step-by-step instruction in an easy-to-follow manner
You're ready to express yourself through a creative outlet
You're devoted to Jesus
WE're a match if:
You desire to be a part of a community of Christian women who enjoy creating
You aren't willing to put in the effort to learn
You're not looking for a hobby to bring joy
Jesus isn't important to you
IT'S PROBABLY NOT A MATCH IF:
You'd rather admire other people's work on social media
