PROJECT: Penelope Rose Birth Announcement  |   DESIGNER: ilfant press  |   CLIENT: Sara + Bino   |   PRESS: letterpress printed and diecut on 8 x 12 and 10 x 15 C&P with digitally printed photos

I have known Sara and Bino for many, many years. Sara and I met through her doll making. Her dolls are unique and fun, so I wanted her birth announcements to be fun as well. To make the announcement card interactive, I diecut a window into the outer enclosure showing one photo. The inner card pulls up to reveal two more photos of baby Penelope.
