Several Brush Lettering ideas for your skills

Learning Lettering with small or big brushpens is such a rewarding journey — but putting it into practice is where the real fun begins! Once you’ve got the basics down, there are endless ways to bring your lettering into everyday life. I show you beautiful areas and ideal surfaces to make your skills shine — and maybe impress a few people along the way.

1. Brush Lettering for Cards & Gifts

Nothing says personal touch quite like a handwritten card or tag.
Create beautiful words for seasonal and celebratory events:

Name card on a wedding table

  • Birthday, holiday, Christmas, anniversary, wedding or a simple card to say thank-you

  • Custom gift tags or mini labels

  • Personalized wrapping paper

Tip: Add a small flourish or decorative element — it’s a simple way to elevate your design and make it feel extra special.

2. Journals & Planners decorated with Brush Lettering

Turn your everyday notes into something beautiful. Your words or quotes are perfect for:

  • Monthly headers or weekly titles

  • Mood or habit trackers

  • Quotes and motivational pages

Adding lettering to your planner not only keeps you organized, it also makes your routine more inspiring and creative.

3. Chalkboards & Black Paper

Especially large brushpens in metallic look absolutely stunning on dark backgrounds!
Use white or pastel pens to make your lettering pop on:

  • Kitchen or café-style chalkboards

  • Event signs or menus

  • Black paper cards, tags, or envelopes

Tip: Play with contrast — bold strokes and light flourishes stand out beautifully on dark surfaces, giving your designs an elegant, hand-crafted feel.
