How hand lettering becomes income!
I picked up a brush pen in 2015 because I wanted a break from my 9–5.. I genuinely had no plan beyond that 🤭
A few years later, I was lettering for Disney, Michaels & Mixbook, and seeing my work show up on journals, puzzles, stamps, doormats and products sitting on actual store shelves 🥹
Looking back, I realized there were specific things I was doing that made my lettering more usable to brands, and honestly, most of them are things nobody really tells you!
Inside these bonus lessons, I'll walk you through it all & share all my secrets!! 🤭
✅ The five things that make lettering marketable
✅ 6 fun ways to make income from your art
✅ Real examples from my own licensed work — what got picked up, and what didn't
✅ How licensing actually works
✅ Behind the scenes creative workflows
Normally $197 - Included FREE when you enroll by Sunday, August 23 at 11:59pm PT!

Meet Your Teacher :)
Hi, I'm Shelly! I’m a self-taught lettering artist, illustrator, and educator behind Letters By Shells!
I started lettering in 2015 as a creative escape from my 9–5 job, never imagining that a simple hobby would completely change the direction of my life 🥹
What began as a way to slow down and create for myself eventually opened the door to a whole new creative world.
Since starting this journey, I’ve had the honor of publishing a hand lettering book, collaborating with incredible brands like Adobe, Disney, Mixbook and Michaels, and creating licensed artwork for journals, puzzles, stationery and more!
But beyond the projects and opportunities, the part I love most is helping others discover their own creativity.
There’s nothing more exciting than watching someone pick up a brush pen for the first time and realize: “Wait… I can actually create something beautiful.” 🥹
And that’s exactly why I created this course… to help you build confidence, enjoy the process and discover where your own creative journey can take you! 💛
Custom wall art
journals (licensed)
stamps (licensed)
custom name tags
wedding signs
doormats (licensed)
And lettering is just the beginning… 💛
When I first picked up a brush pen, I was simply looking for a creative hobby...
I had no idea that one small creative habit would open the door to an entire world I never knew existed 🥹
Lettering became a way for me to slow down, create with my hands, connect with others, and eventually build a creative career I love 💗
Your journey may look completely different from mine.
Maybe lettering becomes your favorite hobby.
Maybe it becomes a way to create meaningful gifts.
Maybe it inspires artwork, products, or new creative opportunities.
You never know where one small creative skill can lead...
And this is where it begins :)
