I don't know about you, but I always have about 10 projects in the works that I'm planning to make from scratch. And sometimes that means super-belated birthday packages or scrapbooks finished a year after the trip happened. That's why I'm so inspired when someone finds a semi-handmade approach to an idea that gives you that personalized touch (without the weekend spent crafting) when you're short on time. My friend Charlotte made these clever baby shower invites for a friend, and I love them!
She found these sweet letterpress notecards at Kate's Paperie, and then she drew a speech bubble with the phrase announcing "It's a boy!" and turned it into a custom stamp. So cute! Charlotte printed out the party information on separate paper and attached the sheets inside the blank cards.
As a finishing handmade detail, she stamped baby on the back of each envelope. And yes, anything involving rubber stamps makes me happy. Thanks for sharing the invitations, Charlotte — they turned out adorable! You can also follow Charlotte's latest work on her photography blog, right here.
