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!

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

As a wedding calligrapher who specializes in "day of" paper goods, this current season is ROUGH! I'm seeing weddings being canceled and postponed all over the country right now... but I also see the LOVE of these couples rising from the ashes. I'm seeing elopements and couples just downsizing to an intimate backyard wedding. I'm seeing couples focusing on the marriage and not the wedding, focusing on the love and not the details... and that is a beautiful thing! Do you know any couples going through this right now? Tag them here or send them some love and encouragement because they're really needing it right now! ✨Photo by @allentsaiphoto of @laurenashclarke's gorgeous Greece wedding, @santoriniglamweddings @erossea_villa_santorini . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #weddingcalligrapher #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #realwedding #brushcalligraphy #brushlettering #watercolorwedding #santoriniwedding #weddingingreece #greecewedding #isaidyes #ringshot #2020wedding #2020bride #shesaidyes #destinationwedding #imengaged #bridetobe2020 #misstomrs #HereComesTheBride #imgettingmarried #elopementwedding #elopementlove #heywildweddings

I can’t believe I’m actually going to admit this: the Corona virus has squashed my initial hopefully feeling, and has left me feeling more anxious than ever before. While I love looking hard for the positive in each situation, the ever changing situation of the Unknown is haunting me. However, through lots of prayer and faith in the bigger picture, I'm using this as a chance to grow closer to my husband and son while also using the downtime to take some art classes to add some light to the world. — If I could only choose 3 emojis to describe how I’m feeling, I’d use: 🤔😱🤪. What 3 emojis would you use to describe how you feel during this time? . . . #samallencreates #handlettering #handmadefont #typographyinspired #moderncalligraphy #flashesofdelight #creativepreneur #meetthemaker #communityovercompetition #goalsetting #goalplanning #encouragement #wordsofencouragement #dailyinspiration #motivational #inspirationalquotes #brushcalligraphy #brushlettering #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorlettering #watercolorartist #watercolorpaintings #watercolorartwork #watercolourpainting #watercoloring #watercolorart #inspirationalquote #socialcurator #jasminestar
