HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY FREE CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHEET

Recently, I asked my Vial Design Insiders what something they were struggling with regarding their calligraphy journey, and what was something they’d like to see more of in my blog. One of the things that kept coming up was to learn how to letter phrases or sentiments so they could make cards!

Since practicing new words is a great way to improve your lettering and calligraphy, I want to help you do just that! That’s why I created this Mother’s Day Free Calligraphy Worksheet you can use to get your practice going.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE

You can your Mother’s Day Calligraphy practice into practice by doing a DIY card. Watch the video tutorial below:

I chose “Happy Mother’s Day” as the phrase for today’s Free Calligraphy worksheet because, as crazy as it seems, Mother’s Day is shy of a month away. Knowing how to letter this sentiment will help you create handmade cards for the amazing mothers in your life.

CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE TIPS

As you’re using this calligraphy practice worksheet, keep in mind the tips below. These will make you make the most out of your practice. For more practice tips for beginners, check out this blog post.

1. SUPER IMPORTANT: Slow down! Take your time when you’re practicing your calligraphy. Doing calligraphy is not meant to be fast. Going slow will help you get better letterforms and sharper strokes.
2. Date your worksheets! This is a great way to see your improvement. Refer back to your older sheets often. Especially when you start to get into the comparison trap or when you think you haven’t improved in your calligraphy journey. We are our worst critics! And often forget to give us grace and celebrate our accomplishments, no matter how small they are.
3. Use light pressure for the upstrokes (when you’re moving the pen upwards) and heavy pressure for the downstrokes (when you’re moving the pen upwards).
4. Find a comfortable position and take breaks if you need to.
5. Lift your pen between each stroke as you’re practicing the letterforms.
6. Adjust your page and posture from time to time.
7. Don’t forget to slow down! I know I’ve already said it, but we often tend to forget 😉

Here are some ideas of what you can letter once you practice using my calligraphy worksheets:
