Folksy Woodland Animals Baby Shower Invites

Folk Animal Baby Shower Invitations

Today’s crush (and, boy, is it a cute one) comes to us from Three Little Words, who have been doing much fantastic, custom work recently. These adorable invitations (and coordinating keepsake birth announcement print), custom created for a dear friend, feature folk art-inspired floral elements, charming type, and an oh so cute array of folksy woodland creatures. The sunny palette of reds, oranges, and yellows – with a dash of blue and gray – evokes a warm and cheerful tone, and I just love the custom invitation envelopes, which feature a cutie patootie deer on the front and a folksy bunny on the flap.

Folksy Birth Announcement

Here’s what Emily from Three Little Words has to say about this super sweet project:

This particular suite is really special to me because I designed it for a close childhood friend, Kate, and her husband, George. We actually created their custom wedding suite a couple of years ago, and it’s hard to believe that they already have a little baby! Elinor Claire was born on August 6th at a healthy 9lbs 5oz and is seriously gorgeous and thriving.

The suite was inspired by their nursery color palette, which is light grey with bright tones of salmon pink, tangerine, yellow, and cobalt blue. I also considered the designs and fabric choices that Kate uses when conceiving a theme for her dress brand, Filia, and eventually landed on a floral, folk animal concept. The invitations were flat printed on Crane’s 110# Lettra in Pearl White and paired with multi-colored envelopes from Paper Source, onto which we directly printed coordinating graphics and the addresses. We added a blossom-shaped “registry hang tag” to the back and threaded the ribbon through to embellish the front.

At the shower, Kate and our friend Hannah strung up handmade tissue-paper pom-poms in the same colors, made by the three of us the day before on my parent’s porch in Maine. I gave Kate coordinating Thank You Notes to save her some work later and, after her arrival, created a baby name print for Elinor’s room! A crafty guest also made a lamp inspired by the invitation, so the suite has been carried into the nursery, although Kate’s gorgeous, handmade baby curtains and linens truly are the focal point of the room.

Wine Harvest Wedding Invitations

Back in April, I featured Emily and Rocky’s incredibly unique (and awesome!) wine stain + cork save the dates, and I’m so excited today to be able to share their beautiful wedding invitation suite with you. Emily, one of the principal designers at Three Little Words, did an absolutely amazing job on this suite, and the project was undoubtedly a labor of love.

Wine Hued Letterpress Wedding Invitations

The gorgeous, wine hued invitations and coordinating pieces incorporate a wide array of techniques, including relief printed typographic letterpress invitations, as well as letterpressed reply cards and return addresses on the outer envelopes; canvas printed maps and screen printed menus and guest welcome bags; and a custom wax seal that’s definitely one of my favorite details. Emily designed and made everything in this stunning invitation suite herself, with the exception of the letterpress printed components, which is pretty amazing given that she was also the bride. Kudos to you, Emily!

Unique Wine Stain + Cork Save the Dates

Unique Wine Stain + Cork Save the Dates

“It’s more than a crush.” While the sentiment at the top of these awesome save the dates may not have been intended as an expression of my feelings, it’s certainly fitting because I think that I may be in love with them. I mean, c’mon, how could I not fall in love with something so amazing?

The ladies at Three Little Words designed this wonderfully unique save the date for Emily (one half of the Three Little Words crew) and her fiancee, Rocky’s, upcoming Napa winery wedding, and the result is a little bit rustic, a little bit whimsical, and totally genius!

Wine Stain Save the Date

The save the date “cards” are actually cork shelf liner cut to size and screen printed in white ink. Talk about great texture! And Lady Rene always adds a bit of sweet romance, perfect for such a unique save the date.

Wine Stain Seal Project

One of my favorite details has to be the wine-stained “seals” on the envelopes, which were each created by hand. Any crafty project that involves a glass of wine has got to be fun, right?
