A new home is an exciting time, and the Martin family wanted to share the good news with their friends and family. Given the timing, they also chose to include another card conveying Easter well wishes. The family worked with our dear friend Lindsey from Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts to create a whimsical new home announcement, a thoughtful Easter card, and a lovely gatefold with custom artwork. The overall feel is soft and sentimental.

Details Card

The details card shares the couple’s new address and contact information. Floral watercolor artwork hugs the gentle scallop edge. The extravagant script font beautifully coordinates with the floral border. The design is fun and fanciful. 

The announcement card features a more traditional design and shares an Easter sentiment. The airy script font makes a statement while the remaining text appears in a refined yet understated serif font that anchors the typography. The crisp letterpress border frames the text while outlining the edges of the card.

The gatefold is an absolutely charming piece that secures the cards in the envelope while also showcasing the couple’s home. An illustration of the home appears on the interior and is visible when the cards are removed. Artwork featuring the home is also printed on the exterior of the gatefold and aligned in such a way to showcase the structure when the gatefold is closed. The same floral artwork from the details card delicately cascades along the exterior fold line, framing the home when recipients remove the gatefold from the envelope.

All of these pieces have a storybook feel with charming watercolor artwork and personal touches. It was a complete joy to work on this job.
