Lisa Willis of Missive drew inspiration for her beautiful, new collection of letterpress birth announcements from vintage monograms, classic motifs, and even a favorite nursery rhyme. The timeless designs feature simple and sweet details – delicate, embroidery-inspired elements, nautical style, and charming floral-frames, to name but a few – that create understated, upscale, and completely customizable birth announcement designs that will stand the test of time. Charming embellishments, such as die cut card shapes, envelope lining, and extra luxe paper upgrades, are also available.

Bow Tie Birth Announcements

October 23, 2012

I have a real soft spot for cute birth announcements, not to mention the soft spot that I have for cute babies, and these custom announcements by Palm Papers are absolutely precious. Little Ryder is pretty darn adorable, too!

Lauren from Palm Papers shares:

Nothing is more fun than giving the gift of design. I am at that stage in life where there is a baby boom happening among our friends and family. We have lots of friends welcoming their first child (and sometimes second), and my favorite thing to do for them is to design their birth announcements. This little cutie, Ryder, is the first son of some good friends of ours from Denver, and he made my job easy, quite frankly. That little face steals the show, but I balanced the sweet black and white photo with an adorable little bow tie, fun stripes, and a mustard and grey color palette. I loved how they turned out and so did his proud parents. Gift giving success!

Ryder’s Nautical Letterpress Baby Announcements

September 25, 2012

Sideshow Press creates such amazing pieces of letterpress loveliness, and their latest crush-worthy creation is an adorable nautical birth announcement for little Ryder. The unique announcements include custom bags made of sail cloth from the family’s boat, with Ryder’s initials embroidered onto the bag in the form of signaling code flags (so clever!). White cloth rope, tied in a sailor’s knot, closes the bag. The gorgeous letterpress announcement card continues the clever nautical theme by including Ryder’s vital stats in nautical terminology.

Hand-Lettered Letterpress Birth Announcements

November 14, 2011

Much love undoubtedly went into these absolutely darling, hand-lettered letterpress birth announcements, created by designer Greg Christman for his son, Oliver. The hand lettered poem, which reads ” I know you might roll your eyes at this, but I’m so glad that you exist,” tugs at the heart strings, and I’m really digging the clever layout, which features a different birth stat for little Oliver in each corner. – spotted on Pinterest
