squirrel birth announcements

Hi there, and happy Friday!! I shared with you the baby shower invitations and decor in December, but now I give you the Squirrel Birth Announcements for the cutest little dumpling.

I present to you my darling niece Sophia Francesca Meza, daughter to the very talented duo Photographer Paulina Merekiova and Designer & Animator Alx Meza.

We wanted to keep the same design as the baby shower invitation and decor, but changed the format into a square accordion fold so it would be easy for grandparents to display on the mantle.

The type treatment for the copy is the same as the shower invitation, but of course changing the wording to reflect the sentiment of the announcement.

…and the beautiful photo, of course by the momma herself.

It’s all in the details, so we added an envelope liner with the baby’s name centered on it.

Good morning all. Today I have for you a LizzyB creation, something I haven’t shared in a while. About a month ago I shared with you some holiday card designs I created for the Minted Holiday Challenge, of which one was inspired by this Birth Announcement I designed for my good friends’ new baby, who was born just a week ago.

This was a simple and sophisticated folded card which she could use to place the newborn’s image in the space provided inside the scalloped frame. I chose a soft, metallic, rosy color palette for the card and envelope, and accented with light aqua and brown. The script typeface gives it a touch of elegance, yet the sans serif Universe font keeps if modern.

The inside shows the pertinent information surrounded by the same scalloped frame as in the front, with a lined banner serving as a background.

As a small detail in the front, I placed the month and year of her birth beneath the frame.

I also designed a personalized gift wrap using Zoe’s, the newborn, initial as a motif and creating a pattern. I played around with placement and color to create interesting shapes.

And here’s the wrapped birth announcements. I used the same scalloped frame as a label for a special message for the new parents. Congratulations Jazmine & Christian on your new arrival…a lovely sister to Anette!
