Happy Heart Color Palette + Lettering Inspiration. Grab the free color palette, check out the lettering pieces I created and make some of your own!
Happy Heart Color Palette
Over the last few months, I’ve worked with the Pink Sky Color Palette, the Quiet Pastels Color Palette, and the Rainbow Falls Color Palette.
This time I’ve been working with the Happy Heart Color Palette.
Noteworthy
On my Instagram, almost all of my posts include a “Swipe to watch the process video,” which shows you how I take things from a sketch to a final piece.
You can check out my iPad Lettering in Procreate tips over on this page on the blog. I used a lot of the tutorials I’ve shared on that page in my lettering pieces below.

Using the Color Palettes
As per usual with this color palette series, I create a color palette and use it for nine IG posts in a row. After those nine posts, I switch to a fresh color palette.
Once again, I hope that you’ll use the palette and my work to inspire your own. Just remember, there’s a fine line between being inspired by someone else’s work and being a copycat, so be sure to create your own work! ?
- Download the color palette here.
- Learn How to set up Custom Color Palettes in Procreate here.
- Use the Hex Codes in design programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Match your physical art supplies (markers, color pencils, watercolors, etc.) to the palette and work the old school way!
Lettering with the Happy Heart Color Palette
Below are all the pieces I created with this palette.
I’ll share a few details on how I created each piece below the photo.
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece One
Mixed doodle style lettering is my absolute favorite to create. Finding your style as a lettering artist takes time. It’s been a bit over six years since I started lettering, and it was just last year that I started to feel like I’ve found my signature style. It’s mixed up, doodle-y, colorful, imperfect, and, most importantly, “me.”
✒️ I used various brushes from my Procreate Brush Bundles for this piece. Mixed lettering is one of my favorite styles to play with, and one of my signature styles.
You can check out my blog post on How to Create Mixed Lettering Styles for more detail on how I create pieces in this style.
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Two
“Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.” -Dan Brown
I love how I get a fresh quote every time I open the Goodreads app. This one from popped up the other day and I found it so motivating; I knew I had to letter it!
✒️ I used various brushes from my Procreate Brush Bundles for this piece, mainly the Celestial Block Brush (Celestial Lettering Bundle) and Holiday Sparkle Stamp (Enchanted Winter Procreate Lettering Kit).
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Three
For this post, I was helping my friend’s at Tombow celebrate the launch of their fab new Tombow ABT Pro Markers.
IG PRO TIP: Fitting sponsored work into your IG feed is a breeze when you create custom artwork for it. I made this the primary photo and had people swipe to see the actual pictures of the Tombow ABT Pros.

Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Five
Adding texture to your Procreate work is a super simple way to “level up” your lettering.
✒️ Created with the Monoline Brush + Heart Stamps from my Creative Lettering Procreate Bundle (from my Procreate Brush Bundles).
Here’s a close up of the texture.
Below is a quick tutorial for how to add texture.
I purchased this particular digital paper texture from Creative Market, but you could easily make or photograph your own textures. The one I used had a chipboard paper-like visual texture to it.

And that’s it!
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Six
I’m introverty year round but come the cold-weather season, I level up from a homebody to a hermit.
So for the next few months, you can most likely find me on my couch in fuzzy socks with the fireplace roaring, an Apple Pencil in one hand, and a big mug of hot mint tea in the other.
I’ll be watching Hulu with one eye and our new German Shepherd puppy with the other. If you missed pics in my IG stories the day we got Theo, you can head to this post on IG and swipe to see how cute he is. ?
For those of you keeping count, yes, we now have three kids and three dogs. ? Crazily, it kind of makes perfect sense!
✒️ I used various brushes from my Procreate Brush Bundles for this piece, namely my DND Celestial Block Brush and stamps from my Enchanted Winter Procreate Kit.
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Seven
This was another sponsored post to share all about my new DreamBox!
Once again, I created custom lettering and then added photos of the DreamBox that you can swipe to see (on IG).

Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Eight
Cozy (adjective): giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation.
10 Things that make me feel all nice and cozy during cold weather season:
- Sitting by the fire with a big mug of hot peppermint tea and a good book.
- An oversized hoodie sweatshirt. Bonus if it has thumbholes.
- A hot coffee with a big splash of cashew milk on a cold morning (to sip while I’m in the school carpool lane! #momlife)
- Soft sweaters & fuzzy socks.?
- Watching Hallmark holiday movies under plush blankets.
- Snuggling with my three doggies. Our German Shepherd puppy turned 13 weeks old today and he loves to cuddle in my lap. I’m savoring it since I know it won’t quite be the same when he’s 100 pounds! ?
- Staying in PJs all day and not leaving the house.?
- Cute knit beanies with pom-poms. I have a major thing for wearing hats!
- Baking fresh cookies with my three kids. We baked 10 dozen the day I posted this (to donate to Operation Christmas Cookie)!
- A big bear hug from my hubby.
✒️ I used the DND Monoline Brush from my Procreate Brush Bundles for this piece.
Happy Heart Color Palette Piece Nine
Does anyone else get the “Sugar Rush” song from Wreck-It Ralph stuck in their head every time they see or hear this phrase? ??♀️
Are you a sweet or salty person? I don’t really like candy (unless you count dark chocolate, which I have every.single.day).
I’d rather eat a bunch of salty chips, popcorn, or my favorite comfort food: French fries.
My kids, on the other hand, well…it’s a full-time job this time of year to make sure they aren’t subsisting purely off sugar! ?
? This post completes the “Happy Heart” color palette.
