Your mailbox is about to become your favorite part of the month
Pen & Ink Collective - encouragement, in an envelope. A monthly creative mail experience for the collector of pretty things, the hobbyist, the closet creative, or the giver of gifts. Beautifully made things arrive at your door, and if you want to know how they were made, I'll show you that too.
YOU JOIN
Lock in your founding member rate, then wait for the good kind of mail.
A hand-designed collection of paper goods shows up in your mailbox. No tracking number. No countdown. Just the quiet surprise of it being there.
IT ARRIVES
Each lesson is designed to equip you with useful strategies you can immediately put into action. It’s about learning with purpose and seeing real results.
YOU CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH IT
You miss getting mail that isn't a bill or an ad
You're an introvert who still craves connection, just on your own terms
You like beautiful things, whether you display them or use every scrap
You've thought "I should get back into making things" more than once this year
You want a monthly excuse to put your phone down for ten minutes
This probably isn't for you if you only want digital files, or you need next-day tracked shipping to feel at ease. This is slow mail, on purpose.

“I've spent over a decade teaching people to letter, doodle, and make things they're proud of. Pen & Ink Collective is what happens when I stop just teaching lettering and start teaching creativity, in an envelope, once a month.”
The Tutorial: A QR code inside doubles as your link to me. Scan it, and you'll find a short video walking you through exactly how the dragonfly was made, plus a free downloadable template so you can try it yourself.
Every month has a new hero piece and a new technique behind it. Some months you'll want to learn it. Some months you'll just want to keep it. Both are the right way to enjoy this.
A MONTHLY CREATIVE MAIL EXPERIENCE
Weekly Thursday Live: Join me live every Thursday on the Pen & Ink Collective Facebook group. On the 3rd Thursday of each month, we recreate that month's project together in real time, timed so your mail has a chance to arrive first. No experience needed, just show up with a pen.
The Downloadable Template: Every month's how-to video comes with a free printable template, so you can practice the technique as many times as you want, on your own time.

❋ THE GUARANTEE
Since your mail travels the old-fashioned way, it doesn't come with tracking, and that's part of the charm, not a flaw. Most mail arrives within a week to ten days of shipping.
If yours hasn't shown up after 10 business days, reach out. I'll make it right, whether that's a resend or a refund, case by case.
Cancel anytime. Cancel before the 10th of the month, and you won't be included in that month's shipment. Cancel after the 10th, and that month's mail is already in motion, so you'll still receive it, with no further charges after.
Your Questions, Answered…
-
Right now I'm only shipping within the US. International mail has gotten really unpredictable lately, customs, delays, and unexpected fees on your end, and I'd rather be honest with you than have your envelope show up late or with a surprise charge attached.
I'm building this thing right here at home first and doing it well before I expand. Once international shipping is something I can offer without those headaches, you'll be the first to know.
Thank you for your patience and for caring about this. It means the world.
-
Kits ship on or around the 25th of each month. Order by the 10th of that month, and you're included in that month’s cycle. Order after the 10th, and you'll roll into the following month's mailing instead.
Once it ships, plan on 5–10 business days to arrive. No tracking number is included, since it travels by standard mail, but I'll always confirm with an email once it's out the door.
-
Not even a little. Some months you'll just enjoy what arrives. Other months you might want to try the technique yourself. There's no wrong way to be a member here.
-
Cancel anytime from your account. Cancel before the 10th, and you're out before that cycle's mail goes into production. Cancel after the 10th, and that month's mail is already on its way to you, so you'll still receive it, with no charges after.
-
You're getting a hand-designed physical kit, a video lesson, a free template, and a weekly live community, all for less than two coffees. But the honest answer is it's worth it if a monthly reason to slow down and make something is something you actually want. If it's not, this isn't the club for you, and that's okay.
-
You keep receiving a new themed kit every month, built around a new hero piece and a new technique.
-
Absolutely yes! The option is available at checkout.
stop scrolling Start Creating
If you've read this far, you already know why you're here.
You're not looking for one more thing to keep up with. You're looking for permission to slow down, even just once a month, even just for ten minutes with a cup of something warm.
You prepared for this. You've been craving something real in your hands, something that didn't come from a screen. That instinct was right.
This is your monthly reminder that you're allowed to stop scrolling and start noticing. And whatever shows up in your mailbox, whether you keep it, gift it, or learn to make it yourself, it's yours to do with exactly as you please.
I've spent over ten years teaching people to letter. Somewhere along the way, I realized what people actually wanted wasn't just the skill. It was the connection.
Pen & Ink Collective is my attempt at both. Something beautiful in your hands, and if you want it, the knowledge of how it came to be, so you can pass it on to someone who needs it more than you do today.
I'm not precious about how you use what I send you. You'll receive it, then learn to make it, if you want. Then keep it, gift it, or make it your own. No pressure, no perfection.
I'd love to be part of your mailbox.
With ink stained hands,
