Modern Calligraphy & Handwriting Services
Some things
shouldn’t be typed.
This holiday, give your customers a note in real ink. Hand lettered in Reed Script, Karla’s own modern calligraphy style, one note at a time, by hand, not a machine.
The Correspondence · For your business
Every customer gets a note.
Not a template.
You already have the list. Send it. It comes back hand lettered in Reed Script, Karla’s own modern calligraphy style, one note at a time, by someone who does this for a living, not a robotic pen and not a font.
A note on whose hand this is: the Atelier’s coach is creative intelligence, here to read your hand and sharpen your practice. The holiday notes above are not that. They’re written by mine. My own hand, ink to paper, one name at a time.

Karla, live, at your event. Guest place cards written while people watch, welcome signage, a holiday party favor station, whatever the moment calls for.
Local means within about 30 miles of Fort Worth/DFW or Chicago, no travel fee. Further out or out of town, the quote folds in travel time, transportation, and lodging as one number, not a pile of line items. Same hand, same ink, wherever the event is.
The Hand · Behind the Studio
Twenty years before it was a studio, it was scrapbook paper and a good pen.
I’m Karla, the hand behind every note above. My love for lettering started more than twenty years ago, writing and publishing scrapbooking articles long before “modern calligraphy” was something you could search for. The habit never really left — it just grew up. Today it’s Reed Script, it’s Ink & Sealed, and it’s still me, ink to paper, one name at a time.

Proof
From the hand itself
A few pieces from Karla’s own work, mail-order, on-site, and everything between.
The Craft · For you
The hand behind your holiday notes also teaches.
Everything above is written by hand, in Reed Script, Karla’s own modern calligraphy and handwriting style. If you want to write like this yourself, the Atelier is where that starts: submit a page of your own handwriting, and a coach reads your stroke weight, your slant, your spacing, and rebuilds your practice around what you actually need next.

Questions
How does ordering actually work?
There's no online checkout. It starts with an email, your Clarity Session, where we talk through what you need. From there we work out quantities, wording, and pricing together.
Is the same coach writing my holiday cards?
No. The Atelier’s coach is creative intelligence built to teach lettering. Every holiday note is written by Karla, by hand.
What’s the deadline to order?
November 1st, to guarantee handwritten delivery before the holidays.
What if I don’t like my handwriting yet?
That’s what the Atelier is for. Submit a sample and the coach builds your practice from where you actually are.
Is there a minimum order for the holiday service?
No firm minimum. Orders under 50 pieces are priced à la carte at the per-item rate, plus a $65 setup fee and $16 shipping.
