How to Address an Envelope (Simple, Chic, and Perfect for Lettering Beginners!)

I reference two exemplars in this video, which are both available for free on the TPK website. Below, you'll find links to download them:
- Kaitlin Style Lowercase Faux Calligraphy Tutorial (+ Exemplar) - thepostmansknock.com/faux-calligraphy-tutorial/
- Morgan Style Lettering Exemplar - thepostmansknock.com/morgan-style-free-hand-let…

Thanks very much for watching, and I'll be back next week with a new video!
