"NATHAN" — Folded Pattern Birth Announcement

"NATHAN"
I had such fun designing these baby announcements for one of my very dearest friends. She welcomed her first child, a beautiful baby boy, on Mother's Day!

His room is super cute — lots of patterns and a very chic yellow, gray and navy color combination. There are also a few subtle giraffes. I used all of these design elements as inspiration for his announcement design! (click to enlarge the room collage and if you look carefully, you'll find the baby boy himself!) Send me pictures of your baby's nursery and I can [attempt to] do the same for you!

The overall construction of these announcements was a first for me and actually required a lot of math to get them to print and fold properly. They fit into a standard A2 size envelope. They are printed in full color on both sides to feature a picture on the front cover (in this case, feet, coupled with the little saying "our home has grown by two feet"). Open the announcement to reveal a very large picture of the baby boy, his name monogram and birth stats. The back side of the announcements has the pattern carried over from the front as well as an image of the whole family with a caption including the location and date of the photo.

You can use a standard white/natural envelope or upgrade to a colored, coordinating envelope for an additional 10¢ each.

Additionally, the sky is the limit. I can do stickers, thank you cards, etc. etc. Just ask and I'll give you a price.
