Invitations and Announcements from Pounding Mill Press

January 12, 2011

Today, I’m crushing on the portfolio of Pounding Mill Press, a studio that specializes in invitations, announcements, and save the dates that are a bit out of the ordinary. One of my favorite projects from their portfolio is this utterly sweet grasshopper-themed birth announcement. I just love the grasshopper patterned envelope liners, as well as the custom return address stamp and super cute baby photo!

Here’s a selection of recent custom projects that Pounding Mill Press has created. I’m really digging their custom laser cut work:

Decoder save the dates … so clever!

Vintage Pram Letterpress Birth Announcements

November 16, 2010

These custom letterpress birth announcements from the fabulous Lucky Luxe are so beautiful, and I love that the color palette is different from the traditional pink or blue. Such a pretty peachy-coral ink.

These custom announcements were created for Annalee and her husband Chad to celebrate the arrival of little Mary. Annalee loves vintage prams, and I love how Erin from Lucky Luxe incorporated the pram image with the ornate pattern that decorates the top and bottom of the announcement. And the little birdy on the pram is too sweet for words!

A beautiful letterpress initial emblem embellishes the envelopes:

Rodeo Themed Custom Birth Announcements

October 18, 2010

These custom letterpress birth announcements for baby Grace are so much fun! Matt and Claire, Grace’s parents, encouraged Slow Industries to think out of the box with this custom design, and the result is a super neato, rodeo-themed letterpress tri-fold announcement that features a cutie patootie linocut illustration of the baby on a rocking horse, as well as linocut starbursts and wood and metal type, which give the announcement a great, old school feel. Such a clever concept!

Peachy Letterpress Birth Announcements

October 06, 2010

These custom letterpress birth announcements are so incredibly sweet, and I love that Kathleen from Twig & Thistle, who designed and printed these for her brother and sister-in-law, used a peachy papaya color for the ink and envelopes. Such a lovely, modern design, and how clever that she attached the photos with foam mounting tape to add depth!

Animal Letterpress Birth Announcements

September 09, 2010

These letterpress birth announcements by Alee & Press are simply darling. I’m loving organic style of the animal illustrations and handwriting, which give the announcements a playful, modern feel that’s perfect for a birth announcement. The announcements can be fully customized with additional matching pieces, as well.

Just a few of the other lovely letterpress birth announcements from Alee & Press’ Baby Collection:

I am completely enamored with these sweet and lovely custom letterpress birth announcements by Parrott Design Studio. The soft, rosy pink ink is a wonderful choice, and the cypress tree illustration for a new little one whose name is Cypress is perfect.
