Letterpress Birth Announcements by Missive

April 28, 2014

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!

Unique Illustrated Letterpress Birth Announcements

July 31, 2012

I am in awe of these unique and absolutely stunning, illustrated letterpress birth announcements from ColorQuarry, a Rhode Island-based studio founded by illustrator and RISD graduate, Amanda McCorkle, who has worked for clients ranging from the corporate, publishing, and automotive industries to children’s, arts, and maritime museums. These amazing announcements feature imagery specific to the client, with themes that include woodland, ocean, circus, and celestial and illustrations that evoke a spirit of wonder and adventure.

Each birth announcement is letterpress printed by hand onto Crane Lettra paper to create what will certainly become paper keepsakes for each lucky recipient.

Cute Pink Letterpress Birth Announcements

June 18, 2012

Alex Liebold wanted his daughter’s birth announcement to be cute and appropriately girly but no too frilly, and I think that he hit the nail on the head with this incredibly sweet, pink announcement that features awesome typography – love the swirly, scalloped “ELISE” – a striped, scalloped frame, and fantastic letterpress printing by Rise and Shine Paper. Ooh, and the pink edge painting is pretty darn lovely, too.

Liam’s Hand-Lettered Birth Announcements

February 27, 2012

Oh, I am completely head over heels for these sweet, hand-lettered letterpress birth announcements that Moglea, a.k.a. Meg Gleason, designed for little Liam. The baby blue and gray announcements feature Meg’s wonderful, whimsical lettering and, because the announcements were sent around Christmas, a holiday greeting was added to the back flap of the announcement envelope. What a great little detail!
