Painting
Paintbrushes
I reach for these small filbert brushes whenever I’m adding floral details to a watercolor monogram crest. Their shape creates smooth, natural curves with beautiful control.
Watercolor Paint
I’ve tried so many brands, but I always come back to Winsor & Newton — the colors stay bright and mix like a dream.
Watercolor Pencils
These pencils are great for sketching my design before I go over with paint. The colors also blend beautifully with actual paint and even water.
Watercolor Paper
I love the smooth feel of hot-pressed watercolor paper. I used to prefer cold-pressed texture, but hot-pressed has become my favorite for creating detailed watercolor maps.
Embellishments
Vellum Jackets
I use these vellum gatefold jackets for 5x7 invitation suites. They come pre-folded, and look great either by themselves or finesh with a wax seal and/or ribbon.
Digital Assets & Fonts
CreativeMarket
This is my go-to site for fonts, templates, and also where I create digital assets for fellow stationers.
Shuler Studio
I love their monogram designs and monogram fonts. Clients can purchase a license for a monogram design, and I will incorporate it into their wedding stationery designs.
Business Tools
Dubsado: The best client relationship management (CRM) and business automation platform
Since using Dubsado, my client onboarding flow has completely leveled up. My clients always share how impressed they are with their experience, and I love the time it’s freed up for designing instead of admin work. Use my code COJOCRM for 20% your first month or year.
