erica's bee shower!

My dear friends Erica and Earny having their first baby! What better reason to celebrate? Together with friends, we hosted a shower at our church. We chose "What will it bee?" as the theme, as they are waiting to find out what they're having. I envy their self control. ;)

Favor toppers by Paper and Pip were perfect for lemon drops, cute hand-made paper poms made by my friend Melissa decorated the space and tables, and guests enjoyed our baby bee scratch-offs and bingo cards during the gift-opening!

I had ordered some cute paper straws from Etsy, however they didn't arrive in time... which sent me on a wild goose chase the night before the shower looking for straws for our flags. We ended up hand-picking the yellow straws from a basic multi-pack of straws from CVS.

It was a fun celebration, and the mom-to-be was radiant. So happy for them, and excited for their little bundle to arrive!

paper buzz

We've been busy as bees at Inklings! I'm pleased to share our bumble bee scratch-off design... aren't these baby gender announcements the sweetest? The soft grey background and yellow honeycomb back make these perfect for a boy or girl. These are printed on our premium 16pt cover with rounded corners, and each scratch-off card is packaged inside a glassine envelope with a freshly-minted 2012 penny. Slip it in a letter and send it to the ones you love to share your exciting news!

These are available as a set of 10 scratch-offs, and also as a suite. A suite gives you everything you need to mail your announcement: one fold-over notecard, one white A2 envelope (made with environmentally friendly FSC-certified paper), one scratch-off card, one glassine envelope, and a shiny penny. You'll enjoy all of the little details that we've been busily perfecting.

We've chosen French Paper Mill's Mod Tone for our fold-over notecards as part of our commitment to greener practices. French Paper Company has long been known as a pioneer in recycled paper manufacturing. They are the only paper mill to use fully renewable hydroelectric generators to create their premium papers, and their Mod Tone stock uses 50% recycled content. The finish is smooth and great to write on, with a subtle mod pattern in the background in a warm ecru that we just love!

We also plan on rolling out a baby shower game with this design, so stay tuned!

So... are you buzzing yet?
