Adorable Announcements Fit For Baby

babysugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:00:53 PDT

Your newborn is so stinkin' cute you could scream, but you'll probably have to settle for a mailed announcement instead. Look on the bright side - it's loads more efficient and with all of the adorable and affordable options, it's a no brainer.

Trusted oldies like Tiny Prints are still making a variety of fab prints though they've got competition with new houses churning out precious patterns for wee ones. Check all of them out in the gallery below.

Tiny Prints and Rachael Ray Team Up For Tasty Cards

babysugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:00:09 PDT

It amazes me that Rachael Ray isn't a mother because her 30-minute-meals are often lifesavers for over tasked mommies. Embarking on a new frontier, the talented kitchen cook has teamed up with the omnipresent Tiny Prints to create a line of "yum-o" holiday and food inspired announcements.

Holidays mean spending time with family, friends and what else? Food! Snowflakes made out of spoons and forks adorn photo greeting cards and are accompanied with phrases like, "Peace. Love. Food." Or, forgo the photos for wreath and snowman adorned folded cards that have a special treat inside - a printed recipe! Tell your friends how much you care about them with a recipe for Ladybug Pizzas or Spinach and Artichoke Hummus Dip.

Feel good purchasing the "yum-o!" cards as a portion of the proceeds will support yum-o!'s mission to empower kids to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking.

* Free shipping on all orders over $99 with the code HOLIDAYSHIP!

Instead of picking up the phone and calling everyone or blasting out an email, Tiny Prints gives expectant moms the opportunity to share their exciting news with pregnancy announcement cards.

Mommies–to–be can upload a picture of their ultrasound, their burgeoning belly or use a simple template on one of many pregnancy story cards.

Good Things Come in Small Packages: Invitations

babysugar — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:00:25 PDT

One of the first steps in planning a baby shower is to create a guest list.

It's usually a safe bet to ask the guest of honor for a list of people she would like to invite, but in sticking with "Good Things Come in Small Packages" theme, an intimate group of family and closest friends works well for this one.

To see what else we recommend for a "small" shower,

read more. As for the invitations, I like to reference the baby–to–be's room when making my selection. The pregnant mama will adore an invite that matches her nursery theme, especially if she plans on framing it for the room. You're guaranteed to find a darling card at Tiny Prints. Featuring over 60 shower invitations, the super swell stationery company has pink and blue hued cards as well as gender neutral invites to please the thrill seeking mamas. On the invitation, you'll want to answer all of the following questions:

Who is being honored at the shower?
What day and time is the shower being held?
Where is the party?
Who is the RSVP contact?
Where is the mama–to–be registered? (Optional.)
Who is hosting the shower? (Optional.)

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:39:57 PST

Phillip Lim showed a bookish, workwear-inspired cool for Fall '12 - some of the models even carried briefcase-style clutches down the runway. The designer offering up tapered trousers, fitted blazers, and his signature slouchy yet structured knits, all playing into a pretty, polished glamour that's perfect for the office. The collection was a refreshing mix of youthfulness (bright pops of colors, sleek pointy-toe loafers, tiny slivers of skin showing) with an underlying note of sophistication (turtlenecks, contoured coats, high-waisted pants), bringing a sweet sartorial dichotomy to the art of Fall layering. Get the details below.

Trends: Knit blanket coats, subtle geometric prints and colorblocking, perfectly tailored trousers.
Colors: Black, white, red, bright blue, gray, taupe.
Key Piece: The wool patchwork coat with turtleneck; the mohair cape with white trousers.
Accessories: Leather belts, oversize foldover clutches, metallic ankle booties and t-strap pumps.
Who Would Wear It: Women who want to look on-trend but professional at the office.

Trade the Ikea Prints For Instagram Wall Art

Kelly Schwarze — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:21:34 PST

Blame it on the dozens of downloaded photo apps and high-quality cameras in smartphones for our obsessive photographing and documentation of everyday life. Since there are tons of ways to print Instagram photos, I wanted to see how the square lo-res images translate to wall-worthy prints. Using CanvasPop, I turned an Instagram print from a memorable weekend into gallery-style canvas art as seen here.

Available in two sizes: a 12-inch stretched canvas square ($30 for a limited time) and a 20-inch stretched canvas square ($60 for a limited time), each canvas comes outfitted with a sawtooth hook for easy at-home hanging. The entire CanvasPop ordering process was as simple as taking an Instagram itself. Select a canvas size, a white or black canvas edge (which is not seen from a head-on view of the print), then the image itself by signing into your Instgram account on the site. If a retro border is what you want, be sure to select a photo from your Instagram library created with a filter that has a built-in border like Lomo-fi or Earlybird.

My 12-inch print was ordered during the hectic holiday season, but even with national holidays accounted for, it only took about two weeks for the finished canvas print to arrive nestled in a very secure cardboard box. I'm eager to make a few more prints for a pretty wall vignette while the introductory price deal is still on, since it's hard to rationalize $80 per print, despite the expert craftsmanship. The photo and filter colors on the canvas were nearly spot-on to the original image, just slightly more saturated, which actually seems appropriate considering I usually only see Instagrams in their tiny phone-sized resolution.

Whether it's a college dorm room or your first "grown-up" apartment, the CanvasPop Instagram print is a high-quality and affordable way to decorate with favorite memories.
