Shelly Kim

The news is out!! Omgg! I am on a COMMERCIAL for @michaelsstores !! 🎉 #sponsored 7 year old Shelly is seriously so proud!! 🥺 I remember always wanting to go to Michaels when I was younger.. my Mom and I would make a date out of it on the weekends and literally walk down all the aisles. We would spend hours there and talk about what we could make and literally get inspiration by just being there. I am honestly so honored and still cannot believe that Michaels chose me to be one of the Makers to be featured on their Made by You Holiday Commercial. 🥲 It’s now airing on TV too!! Literally all the happy tears and what a dream come true. Thank you Michaels for making my dream a reality!! 💛 ⬅️ Swipe left for a sneak peek on set ANDD stay tuned because tomorrow at 5PM PT, I will also be sharing some more EXCITING NEWSSS! Yayyy 🥳🥳 #lettersbyshells #MakeItWithMichaels

Hey loves! It’s been a while so I wanted to do another one of these Friday introductions 😆 I’m Shelly 👋 and here is a picture of me in my new office space + art studio working on one of my fav projects with @michaelsstores 💥 Check out my previous posts to see the art creation process and how to make your very own DIY puzzle! 💛💛 Sharing some fun facts about me below! 🤗 1️⃣ I started lettering back in 2015 because I was unhappy at my full-time job. I started to explore lettering and made it a goal to decorate my cubicle at work with positive affirmations that would motivate me on a daily basis. 🥲 2️⃣ Lettering gave me a new purpose. Because I loved lettering so much and loved sharing all of my tips. I was so excited to teach my first in-person workshop in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with teaching! 🌟 Lettering and teaching lettering definitely holds a special place in my heart 💛 I’ve had the most amazing opportunity to teach lettering workshops in Japan, Singapore, Australia, Canada, New York, Chicago to name a few. Ohh! Please comment below if you have taken a workshop with me! I’d love to connect and say hello! 🤩🥰 3️⃣ I don’t have an art background. I loved arts & crafts growing up like painting, sewing, making cards, scrapbooking, etc. But I was always reminded that Art was only a “hobby” and that it could never be my full-time.. so I lost my desire to create art when I went to college..I ended up getting my Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in College Counseling.. But, somehow I still felt lost.. So, I’m truly grateful that I took the leap to pursue art + lettering full-time a few years back 💛💛 Thanks for reading some fun facts about me and for your amazing love + support for all these years especially the ones who have been following me since day 1! I hope you still enjoy my art creations, process videos and art content I share on here 🥲💛 ➡️ Now it’s your turn! Please share a few fun things about YOUUU! I’d love to connect! 🥰💛 #lettersbyshells

I’m soo obsessed with how this cozy corner turned out 🥹🫶 and I love our new nail-free gallery wall dedicated to Max and Mimi in partnership with @tile.pix [AD] 🐶 In the spirit of Mother’s Day, I wanted this gallery wall to highlight when we first became dog parents to Max and Mimi like our first trips together and all the sweet memories we want to relive every day :)💗 I ordered the Classic 8x8 TilePix through @walgreens for FREE same day pickup (which quite frankly would make a thoughtful, yet last second pet parent gift) 🤭 I also ordered a few additional sizes like TilePix Wood in 12x12 + 12x18 & TilePix Glass in 11x14 for delivery on the TilePix page on Walgreens.com to fill out the gallery wall 🥰⭐️ Pet parents: get your photos framed with TilePix this Mother’s Day too at Walgreens.com or the Walgreens app 💫 #tilepixpartner #tilepix #walgreens #gallerywall #mothersdaygiftideas
