Lucy’s Sweet, Paper Doll-Themed Letterpress Birth Announcements

July 21, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

After Heather Cranston’s daughter was born this past February, she planned on taking a decent break from work, even though the thought of sending birth announcements weighed on her mind. However, during a sleepy 2am feeding, paper dolls popped into Heather’s head, and the rest, as they say, is history! She declared “break over” and created these sweet and clever letterpress birth announcements that feature her cute as a button daughter, Lucy, and all of Lucy’s most favorite outfits, which can be cut out and used to dress up the darling, little sweetie.
