Dallas Calligrapher
A few months ago my husband and I were invited to a first birthday party. The parents asked for the guests to bring books for the birthday girl’s library collection. I picked Kitten’s First Full Moon. A caldecott winner with lovely illustrations and a cute little story, a book that I might have purchased for myself too 🙂
To partner with the book, I decided to make some bookplates for for her. I love how they turned out, simple and still young feeling with out being childish.
I LOVED every minute of this order I worked on with the so talented Color-Box Letterpress. We did the save the dates, invitations and party materials for the special event.
For the Save the Dates and Invitations everything was soft and baby in the lightest greys and blues with thoughtful touches like letterpressed envelope liners. I matched the ink color and created a special font for this client.
I wish I had photos of the lovely invitations – they looked similar but had blue crocheted baby booties attached!
For the party a long table was set up for the brunch and color theme was hermes orange. It took me forever to mix this color to match perfectly, but patience payed off! These turned out perfectly.
A big thank you to Rhonda – your work really helps highlight the lovely calligraphy!
I recently mixed up a batch of “Hermes” orange for a baby shower client and then started seeing the fabulous color everywhere! (did you see the serene parking garage wedding on Style Me Pretty last week?)
These really turned out wonderful – the color and lettering was just perfect.

A dear friend of mine just had her first child on October 1 and as a little gift, I made this for their nursery.
