Phoebe’s Floral and Gold Foil Birth Announcements

Erin of BerinMade and her husband recently welcomed their first child – a darling baby girl named Phoebe Rose! Erin designed a floral birth announcement inspired by Phoebe’s middle name, and featuring Phoebe’s darling silhouette! Ah, baby silhouettes. There is nothing sweeter! Erin also hand lettered Phoebe’s name, which was stamped in gold foil over the digitally printed floral background. Such a beautiful combination!

From Erin: My husband and I were started thinking about these birth announcements before Phoebe was born because we were so excited! The suite is inspired by her name, Phoebe Rose. Phoebe’s name means a “bright, shining light” and we really wanted concept to stand out on the announcement. We knew we wanted gold foil for her name. I incorporated my hand-painted roses as the floral background of the card and hand-lettered her name. The card was then digitally printed on watercolour textured stock, then gold foil was pressed on top.

A silhouette of her face was traced from the very last scan we did prior to giving birth! And because we had received so many presents and well-wishes by that point, we also had matching notecards printed with the rose motif. On the back, we printed a verse which reads “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It has been a cold and wintery week here in DC – with more snow on the way this weekend, eeek! Last winter was incredibly mild and I kind of forgot what a real winter is like. The one bonus? Sophie looks adorable in the puffy winter coat we bought for her once we realized her little fleece sweatshirt wasn’t going to cut it this winter. Right now I’m looking forward to a mostly unscheduled weekend, except for checking out Holiday Heap in Baltimore tomorrow. But in the meantime…

Adrienne + Will’s Glamorous Gold Foil Art Deco Wedding Invitations

These Art Deco wedding invitations from Emily and Dianna of Fourth Year Studio are stunning! Inspired by the idea of a sparkly Great Gatsby-style reception, Emily and Dianna incorporated shiny gold foil, Art Deco design motifs, and classic black and white elements for a sophisticated vintage-inspired suite. Beautiful!

From Emily and Dianna: Adrienne’s fondness for the Art Deco era served as the springboard for our invitation design. We print all of our letterpress in house but it was so much fun to see the masters at Widby Printing print the gold foil for the main invitation on 220lb cotton paper.

A roll of metallic foil runs through the press and leaves the inverse design behind. Well, it was just too beautiful to throw away so we kept it (as seen above)!  The metal plate used for printing was given as a memento for Adrianne and Will.

The RSVP card was letterpress printed in black on 110lb cotton paper with a printed black envelope.  The set was wrapped in a black cover and tied together with delicate gold thread.

2013 Gift Guide: My Favorite Things

Um, so just kidding about that whole “last gift guide” thing! I was updating the gift idea round up page last night (which is available and updated year-round, just FYI), and realized that I really wanted to share a few of my favorite things from the round up. So here goes!

OSBP-2013-Gift-Guide-My-Favorite-Things

1. Rob Ryan Mug; 2. Kate Spade Push Pins; 3. Poppin Notebooks; 4. Muhs Home Copper + Brass Tins; 5. Russell + Hazel Acrylic Stapler; 6. Tattly Subscription!; 7. Yellow Owl Workshop Carve-a-Stamp Kit

OSBP-2013-Gift-Guide-My-Favorite-Things2

8. Rocket Ink Print; 9. Wind + Willow; 10. Forage Copper Hair Pin Tie Bar; 11. Paper Pastries State Return Address Stamp; 12. Fig. 2 Dip Dye Note Cards; 13. Midori Brass Case via Rifle Paper Co.’s Notable Collection

1 Rob Ryan + my daily morning coffee? A match made in heaven.

3 + 12 Personalized stationery is always good gift idea! I’m loving these silver + gold initial notebooks from Poppin, and the dip-dyed note cards (in various colors) from Fig. 2 Design are some of my all-time favorites.

4 + 5 I have coveted the Muhs Home copper tins and Russell + Hazel acrylic stapler since both came out a couple years ago (I already have the matching tape dispenser). Together, they’d make any desk a very, very happy place.

8 Yay for state art! These “Home Is Where The Heart Is” prints from Rocket Ink are bold and modern, which I love – and she even has one for DC!
