Like I mentioned earlier, I didn’t make many gifts this year. I wanted to keep my stress low, so I only made two gifts I gave this year: return address stamps. My mom put a bug in my brain back in september when she showed me a very beautifully designed wedding invitation with an equally pretty return address stamp on the envelope. It’s been plaguing me for some time now and I thought that perhaps they’d come in handy with my mom’s card-sending & my sister-in-law’s wedding that’s just around the corner.
For these stamps I hand calligraphed (using my wacom tablet & illustrator) the last name & then typed out the address. As you can see I’ve photoshopped the bulk of their addresses for privacy reasons.
The stamps turned out better than I imagined! I’m a little sad I didn’t have these stamps to give to my mom & mother-in-law on Christmas, but what do you do when you submit the artwork 30 minutes after the deadline? Not much. I hope they get good use out of their stamps!
