I see new followers 🤗; time for a #fridayintroductions. 👋🏻👋🏻 everyone! I’m Allison Vaz and I’m a calligrapher that lives on Long Island in NY with this crew! Before you ask, our last name is Portuguese; it’s a question I get a lot! 😉 Anyway, that’s my husband, Paul, and our kids, Sofia and PJ. When I’m not busy being mom, I’m busy running a calligraphy business from my home and a studio I share with @sincerelyjackiepaper and @lovenotespaperie! I absolutely love working with creative clients with some, dare I say, #Pinterest inspired ideas. Some of my favorite projects, involve brainstorming sessions, bold colors, and unfamiliar materials. I have a HUGE appreciation for vintage/historical items and old world processes. I love researching how to do things; currently researching guilding! More often than not I find myself daydreaming about opening a letterpress shop. That’s a bit about me. Thanks for following and checking me out! 😉 📷: @kaylatiffanyphoto
I love these so much! Honestly, I’m such a newbie to vellum.... this being only my 2nd time writing on it. Ironically, both of my experiences with vellum have been for @kyliemones. I definitely see more vellum in my future. 😍 . . . . #prettymail #calligraphy #calligrapher #ohsobeautifulpaper #pointedpen #moderncalligraphy #vellum #weddingseason #stationery #clientgift
I’m in summer mode, and Mother Nature better get her act together soon, this long drawn out winter is just not cutting it anymore. 😑 . . . . #placecards #babies #baptism #weddingseason #calligraphy #calligrapher #prettypaper #stationer #stationery #paperlove #handmadepaper
I find coral to be such a happy color. My front door is this color, and it’s the happiest door on the block. 😍 . . . . #prettypaper #coral #brushlettering #calligraphy #calligrapher #moderncalligraphy #longisland #babyshower #placecards

Gray to match the skies here during our egg hunt yesterday. 😒 I def need the warm weather to start rolling in. Spring is my favorite time of year, and it has come, yet. Who else is soooo ready for the weather to change? . . . . . #ohsobeautifulpaper #moderncalligraphy #prettypaper #weddinginvitation #calligraphy #calligrapher #pointedpen #weddingseason #weddingenvelopes #stampcollage #vintagestamps
Last night Jenna (of @icandothat_design) and Vince tied the knot! @sincerelyjackiepaper and I (and the husbands too) were there to witness and party! 🍷🍻 I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, joy, and love. 😘😘 . .

I really need spring to come. We got buried here overnight under a foot of snow! 😱 it’s melting fast though, so hopefully, after what feels like the 864,865th snow day, this is the end of winter. 🙄 . . . . #calligraphy #calligrapher #moderncalligraphy #ohsobeautifulpaper #prettypaper #weddinginvitation #weddingseason #pointedpen #copperplate
