Isla’s Rifle Paper Co. Inspired Birth Announcements

At long last, Isla’s birth announcements have been sent! I am so relieved to have completed this major project – one which started well before she was born! I did the calligraphy on all 100 envelopes prior to her birth (thank goodness!), cut the envelope liners using this Rifle Paper Co. wrapping paper, stamped our return address using a custom stamp from Angelique Ink, and created the design for the announcement (which was printed by Czar Press). When Isla arrived, all I had left to do was update the design with the appropriate information, get it printed, have Isla’s photos taken by Taylor Lord and printed locally, add the photos to the glassine bags, punch holes, tie bows, and voila – done. Whew. Yes, I am exhausted, but so happy to have finished my second big project (first being Sasha’s graduation announcements). Baby number two will likely have an e-card (ha!).

The National Stationery Show

The National Stationery Show took place from May 19-22 in NYC, and I followed along religiously on Oh So Beautiful Paper. I told my wedding stationery designer that I will literally crawl into her luggage if she goes next year – it is such a dream of mine. Cards everywhere. And twine. And wrapping paper. And planners. Seriously? I sifted through hundreds of pictures and posted my favorites below! Feast your eyes.
