Sam Allen

I believe in magic. I believe in the power of true love. I believe in fairy tales and happy endings. And I live to create stationery and art for the young at heart to allow my fellow dreamers to treasure all of life’s most wondrous moments!

Shhhh... can you hear that noise, Mama? That whisper? I certainly do, it's Silhouette Season calling me! In just a week's time, I'll be announcing this year's Mother's Day sale! I hope it will be bright spot in your day among so much chaos that the school closures have brought to your life. I hope this year's silhouette portraits will help mamas everywhere remember these sweet little one's profiles: the length of their eyelashes, the roundness of their noses, their sweet little lips — all immortalized in paper! However their hair may be on the scruffy side... I know I can't be the only one with a little one who is in desperate need of a haircut! But looking past the hair in his face, I'm certainly looking forward to working on each and every silhouette for y'all! Mother's Day may still be 5 weeks away, but who else is excited for this cherished day?? . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #shopsmall #smallbusiness #smallbusinesslove #smallbizlife #creativeentrepreneur #etsyonsale #etsycommunity #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsyshopowner #etsyfinds #etsygifts #papercut #papercutsilhouette #silhouette #papersilhouette #giftsformom #giftformom #giftideasforher #mothersday #mothersdaygifts #mothersdaygift #mothersdaygiftideas #mothersdayideas #grandmagift #giftforgrandma #giftformother #giftforwife

In honor of #nationalpencilday, I wanted to give a shout out to this little bit of charcoal that makes my portraits comes to life! Without this initial sketch, I wouldn't have the foundation built to add the color and make each portrait POP with personality! Thank you, Mr. Pencil for allowing me to work this magic for my clients—swipe through to see the final painting! And then answer either of these questions: A. What would a foundational element be in your work and life? or B. Tell me honestly, when is the last time you used a pencil?? . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #watercolorportrait #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorartist #familypictures #portraitdrawing #portraitpainting #familyportrait #customillustration #dailydoseofpaper #flashesofdelight #makersmovement #thatsdarling #familyphotography #uniquegift #giftsforher #giftsforgrandma #communityovercompetition #createdtocreate #creativepreneur #girlboss #facelessportrait #fineartportraits #theheartcaptured #motherhoodrising #mothersdaygift #mothersdaygifts

Hold on to your morning coffee, I have a tutorial that is going to knock.your.socks.off! If you saw my addressing tutorial a couple months ago, you may have ever wondered how I address darker colored envelopes... if so, then you can’t miss this! First, I format all the addresses with my 6 column template design. Then, I get my printed template design paired up with my SliderWriter and mix my paint. And finally, I start my lettering! And voila! We’re all finished, before you’ve even had a chance to finish that cuppa joe! To find out more about the steps, head to my InstaStories for a more in depth look! And then let me know what questions do you have about my process? . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddinginvitation #weddinginspiration #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #weddinginspo #weddingideas #dailydoseofpaper #envelopeaddressing #envelopeart #2020wedding #weddingenvelopes #weddingcalligraphy #envelopecalligraphy #weddingplanning #weddingcalligrapher #watercolorlettering #brushcalligraphy #nomoreboringenvelopes #weddingstationer #letteringvideo #calligraphyvideo #letteringpractice #weddingstationery #weddinginvites #weddinginvitations #calligraphyvideos

Am I the only person who ended up with some pretty random food for the quarantine? We just didn't believe the hype at first so once my hubby finally braved the stores, he didn't end up with much‚ at least not at first. My number ONE goal became finding coffee creamer which thankfully we now have! Also, thankfully my weird pregnancy cravings left us with lots of frozen taquitos and egg rolls! What random food did you buy in your mad dash at the grocery store?! _ Photographer: @stephanieweberphotog Florals: @bloomtheorydesign Calligraphy: @samallencreates Tabletop Rentals: @rusticpeonyco . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #2020wedding #2020bride #watercolorcalligraphy #brushcallgraphy #weddingcalligrapher #weddingstationery #tablenumbers #weddingplacecards #weddingreception #weddingplacesetting #weddingtablescape #tablescapes #weddingdetails #weddingphotography #destinationwedding #weddingmenu #weddingsignage #weddingsigns #idahowedding #idahobride #imengaged #bridetobe2020 #misstomrs #HereComesTheBride #imgettingmarried
