Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Do you all have fun plans for this beautiful fall weekend? We’re heading to upstate New York to visit my husband’s family for a few pre-Halloween festivities. It’s a long drive, but I know Sophie will be happy to see her grandparents and cousins! I’m heading out to make our final preparations for the trip, but in the meantime…

Tahlia’s Modern Mint + Coral Birth Announcements

Mint and coral is such a beautiful color combination for any occasion, but especially for baby announcements! Lynda from Greenstar Paperie designed these announcements for a fellow designer’s sweet baby girl this past spring. In addition to the coral and mint color palette, the announcements feature a modern floral pattern on the outside and photos of Tahlia (and her older brother) on the inside. Absolutely darling!

From Lynda: Tahlia’s mom, Corey, is a very talented designer and owner of CWP Design Studio in Philadelphia. So I knew this had to extra special. Corey loved the idea of a modern pattern, so we took that idea and ran with it. The mint and coral color scheme paired with a modern floral pattern gave this announcement a bit of sophistication, but was still sweet enough for Tahlia’s introduction into the world. The announcements were digitally printed on 120# eggshell ultrawhite card stock.

Corey also wanted some personalized stationery, so we created a flat note that could tuck neatly into the announcement for a personal note. The envelopes were finished with a darling label that was placed from front to back on the envelope to give the front of the envelope a hit of pattern and color.

Nina’s Colorful Hot Pink + Turquoise Birth Announcements

As a busy working parent, I can totally relate to being behind the curve on sending out important announcements: we still haven’t sent out moving announcements after nearly 7 months in our “new” house! It may have taken these parents a while to send out the announcements for their second daughter, Nina, but they made up for the delay with these beautiful announcements from the team at Noteworthy Paper & Press. I’m loving all the bright pops of color, from the turquoise flourishes to the hot pink envelope liners!

From Taylor at Noteworthy Paper & Press: We printed these belated birth announcements earlier in the summer for Pam and Tony, who welcomed a second baby girl into their busy lives last October. Both mom and dad work full time, so the announcement took a back seat as they settled into being a family of four. The couple’s only requirement was that the card be bright and fun and they loved the idea of using the current “chalkboard art” trend as inspiration.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! We’re looking forward to a beautiful fall weekend here in DC, which is a welcome change after what felt like an eternity of rain last weekend. My dad and step-mom are coming to visit this weekend, so we’re looking forward to taking them to pick pumpkins at our favorite farm and checking out the fall foliage at the National Arboretum (now that the ridiculous shutdown is finally, thankfully, over). Yay! But in the meantime…

Liam’s Colorful Letterpress Birth Announcements

While we’re on the subject of babies, how sweet are these birth announcements from Kimberly of Honizukle for her second son, Liam?! When it came time to design Liam’s announcements, Kimberly knew she wanted to incorporate lions in a yellow, mint, and navy color palette. Add in a sweet polka dot envelope liner, adorable baby photos, and some washi tape, and you have a recipe for seriously cute baby announcements!

From Kimberly: I can say that three distinct things were on my mind when designing Liam’s announcement. The color yellow, which, for some reason, I’ve always associated with Liam. Lions, which I also associate with Liam because of a little Lion my husband got him even before he was born. Finally, handwritten fonts, which I’ve been obsessing over for some time. I thought there was a recipe in there somewhere for a good design.

I knew I wanted Liam’s name to be large and yellow and I wanted the lion in his announcement to be this little lion I had designed previously and had a soft spot for. I had recently been printing with a lovely mint color I had mixed and became infatuated with, so I knew that also had to make its way in. Once I put those together I added a bit of navy, polka dots and a few carefully chosen fonts to come up with a sweet design for my sweet, little boy.

Photos of my boys were included in a wax pouch decorated with yellow and navy polka dot washi tape that matched the polka dot liner I had designed. I opted to use photos of both of the boys as the announcement came from Liam’s older brother John Patrick, better known as Jackie, figuring there can never be too many photos of cute, little boys.

I had planned to design a label to address the announcements as well but as a mother of two now, I didn’t quite have all the time in the world and so ended up using a lovely stamp I had purchased from Wit & Whistle a couple of months back. It worked perfectly with navy ink and finished off the announcement nicely.
