{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been another crazy week over here, but we’re slowly digging out from all of our boxes! Sadly, Sophie came down with a bad cold this week, so we’ve been spending a lot of time trying to help our poor congested baby feel better. After what feels like a lifetime of packing, moving, and now unpacking, we’re determined to do something fun this weekend! But in the meantime…

William’s Hospital Bracelet Baby Announcements

I couldn’t resist rounding out the week with one more baby announcement! I have all of our hospital bracelets saved in Sophie’s baby book at home, so these hospital bracelet baby announcements from Sarah Jane Winter seem like such a great idea! The bracelet opens to reveal a photo of baby William and his loving parents. So sweet.

From Sarah Jane: William’s father is a pediatrician that specializes in Neonatology (newborns) so I played with the idea of the new baby coming home from the hospital. A baby hospital bracelet was mimicked with the ‘vitals’ including name, date of birth, length, and weight. This was wrapped around the card and fastened with a button brad. A blue vellum sleeve wrapped the card.

The card was printed front and back with the photos I took of the family and a simple greeting.

Ari’s Modern Lion Birth Announcements

It’s been quite a baby-filled week so far, and I’m loving all of this beautiful baby-related stationery! Next up, these fun and modern baby boy birth announcements from Stephanie of Pink Orchid Press. Stephanie worked with Ari’s mama to come up with a lion theme to help give the new baby some additional strength to keep up with his older brother, pairing the lion motif with a modern sans serif font and pops of yellow.

From Stephanie: This announcement was designed for a sweet family just before their second son was born. They decided to wait until his birth to find out the gender, so we actually worked long and hard to create two very different – but equally beautiful – announcement designs. Mom Amanda knew that if her little one were to be a boy, he would need to be “strong and bold” to keep up with big brother Eli, and chose a simple lion motif.

The colors chosen were equally strong and bold: curry yellow for a pop of color and chocolate brown for a solid, masculine feel. A simple sans serif font perfectly compliments the minimalist design, and both are reflected on an equally-adorable stationery set. Add a chocolate envelope liner and a perfect print of the sleepy little one (with his fists up and ready, no less) and this has become on of our favorite birth announcement projects yet.

Louise’s Turquoise Hand Lettered Baby Announcements

I’m constantly in awe of the amazing talent of Liz from Linda & Harriett. Her large scale quilt calendar is a completely stunning work of art (and currently on sale right now for an absolute steal!), and her stationery designs feature vibrant color palettes along with her signature hand lettering and illustrations. Liz welcomed her second child earlier this year, a beautiful baby girl named Louise, and I’m beyond thrilled to share Louise’s baby announcements today!

The announcements were letterpress printed in turquoise ink on 200 lb 100% cotton paper. Liz hand lettered Louise’s name across the top, and a photo was cut to size and attached to each announcement. The envelope return address was also hand lettered by Liz and letterpress printed in the same turquoise ink. I love that the announcement is worded from the perspective of Louise’s big brother, Griffin – such a wonderful way to involve an older sibling!

Liz no longer offers custom social stationery, but you can find Linda & Harriett collections on Minted and Paperless Post (also available in printed versions)! Liz also tells me that she’s currently working on a baby collection for Paperless Post that will be available this summer. Thanks Liz!

{happy weekend!}

Whew! From a less-than-24-hour trip to New York on Tuesday (more on that next week) to a photo shoot yesterday for a special upcoming project, not to mention preparing for our big move in less than two weeks, it’s been a whirlwind of a week! Also, Sophie turned SIX MONTHS OLD! I can’t believe how fast her first year is flying by, and right now we’re just trying to soak up every second. This weekend will be filled with packing, packing, and more packing, but we’re also hoping to enjoy some of the wonderful spring weather that has been peeking through lately. But in the meantime…
