There is nothing more joyous then designing an announcement for a new arrival. And who doesn't love receiving one? For parents they are both a beautiful and timeless way of showing how proud you are to have bought a life into the world. For family and friends they are a treasured keepsake of all the precious details, a thank you for a thought or gift, the first photo that says after such a long wait 'I'm really here'.
Here a just a few of my recent favourites.
Blue stripes and gold touches for a nautical feel announcement. The inlay of cream handmade paper has a hand sewn border. Finished with additional tag and matching grosgrain ribbon. Punched stars for texture. Blank reverse for personal message.
An elephant for Freddie. Double layered design work stands proud of the card, orange base with hand assembled overlay in card and cotton fabric. Double card with pocket-fold insert in grey and white stripes for thank you card and photo.
A pink and grey design inspired by the colours of the nursery. A heavyweight printed inlay is backed onto pink card. A hand-folded 'nappy' in a pink and yellow rose bud design is closed with a bronze pin. On the reverse a personalised Thank You card and photo are secured by clear corners.
