Oh So Beautiful Paper

I love sharing adorable baby announcements – and today I’m thrilled to feature announcements for twins!  Suzanne from SHE Paperie gave birth to her darling twins Elle and Liam in 2009 and knew that she wanted to two something extra special for her little bundles of joy.  Suzanne based the design on the special nickname that she and her husband came up with for the babies while Suzanne was pregnant.  So sweet!

From Suzanne: The inspiration behind the design actually came from what my husband so endearingly referred to our babies as while I was pregnant: “The Diamonds.”  I incorporated two Swarovski crystals (one for each baby) into the design, along with unique wording woven throughout the announcement, to tie in the special name that we still call our babies to this day.

The 6-panel announcement was printed on pearlized stock to resemble that of a lustrous diamond and then packaged in a shimmering petal enclosure for mailing.  Other unique touches of the ensemble included a wax seal, personalized mailing labels, and a color palette suitable for either a boy or a girl.  Designing our birth announcement and hand crafting every last detail was indeed a labor of love.

Thanks Suzanne!
