Milkmaid Press is the charming stationery company of my friend Kristen Nichols, and when she offered to design an invitation suite based on one of my inspiration boards, I couldn’t possibly say no! Imagine my surprise when she turned out a delightful design that works with a huge range of wedding styles, simply by customizing the color and backer pattern…
Board #467: Bold As Love with yellow floral.
Board #524: Southern Comfort with blue damask.
Board #556: Pretty in Peach with pink confetti.
Board #545: Romantic Early Spring with moss floral.
Board #490: Poppy & Mint with mint diagonal stripe.
Okay, as if I didn’t love it already, but then she went ahead and named it Kathryn. Which pretty much made my week! AND. Kristen is giving away a $250 gift certificate to FOUR lucky Snippet & Ink readers! Just leave a comment on this post with which Milkmaid Press design is your favorite. You have until Thursday, May 17th, 2012 at 5:00PM PDT to enter, and the randomly selected winners will be notified by email.

I simply love the Watercolor Business Suite! I am an event designer and am current working through designs for my business and this would be a grand kickoff!
I love the Oiseaux invitations suite in robins egg. I would fit perfectly with our garden wedding.
Romantic Early Spring is my favorite! Beautiful!
They’re all so beautiful! :) I love the Faux Bois invitations suite!
I really love the poppy&mint! Goes with my wedding colors :)
Those are so elegant!!! My favorite are the Rustique invitations in mint – I love them!
I love the “Sophisticate”. Beautiful.
I love the Faux Bois invitation suite! So beautiful!
I love the color palettes on all of these! So original and modern, yet classy. Love them! Bold as Love is my favorite.
I love the Rustique and also the Faux Bois! Beautiful!
I love the Poppy and Mint! It is so simple, totally my taste. And so beautifully feminine. Love, Love it.
Romantic Early Spring with Moss Floral easily has to be my favorite!
I am smitten with the Faux Bois design. It is a great representation of our style and of the city we love and will be married in, Portland (or Stumptown)!
I love the Lattice Social Stationary! I’m getting married in two weeks, and I can’t wait to get notecards with my new name on them!
The Magnolia suite is so beautiful!!
The Faux Bois is exactly what I am looking for. It is simple in design yet it has such a strong impact!
Wow, so lovely – my favorite design is Sophisticate. It would go great with our venue, a museum!
I really think the new “Kathryn” is beautiful! The design is modern yet has a very timeless feel. The font is so fresh and new…I haven’t seen anything like it before. This would fit my wedding perfectly!
I love these! My favorite is the Southern Comfort!
Love the Romantic Early Spring board and the moss floral is just perfect fit with that inspiration! Colors are rich & elegant.
My favorite is the “Kathryn.” Our wedding is actually based on Snippet & Ink’s Board #187: Champagne & Dessert and I think the backer for Romantic Early Spring would work perfectly!
I love the Simplicity Announcement. The layout with the 4 b&w photos is just stunning.
LOVE the Poppy & Mint! So adorable and playful.
I’d choose the carribean palm thank you notes. They would be perfect since we have a honeymoon registry and we’re going to Turks and Caicos! I like the Kathryn,too. It’s very elegant. And the wildflower. Ok, I like them all.
I’m torn, because I’m equally in love with the Wildflowers Invitations and the Rustique in mint invitations…I think I’d have the choose the former though, because it’s so colorful!
I am loving the yellow floral paired with a yellow diagonal stripe reply. How happy would that make you to give or receive in the mail?!
Oh my, her work is beautiful! My favorite wedding invitation suite is the Magnolia collection. Just gorgeous.
I am in love with the Lattice Social Stationery. Looks so chic and modern!
I love the watercolor business cards, they’re so gorgeous!
Y loved Poppy & Mint desing because the great and contrastan combination of the soft blue and the vivid red, it looks classy and dreamy.
Oh what beautiful stationery! I especially love the faux bois wedding suite :)
The Rustique is my fav! All are lovely!
Love these-does anyone now what font the script is? It looks handwritten?
Love these-does anyone know what font the script is? It looks handwritten?
I love the poppy & mint!
My favorite is the poppy and mint! I am doing similar colors for my wedding and when I saw the design it just made me smile :)
i love the poppy and mint stripes, sooo cute :)
The new ‘Kathryn’ design is quite perfect – it’s both elegant and light, classic and modern, and the calligraphy is the best! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for – so thank you Kristen and muse Kathryn!
I love these colors and themes – simple, preppy and perfect
Wow! My favorite is the Pretty in Peach- great colors and whimsical polka dots!
Gorgeous! I love the Kathryn and also Faux Bois
Southern Comfort is beautiful, but Faux Bois would go great with our rustic theme!
I LOVE the Kathryn! Gorgeous! What beautiful designs and a great giveaway (I’m in the process of choosing invites for our Oct 7 wedding!).
Poppy and mint is so unexpected and whimsical…will bring a smile to anyone receiving!
Romantic Early Spring – love the dark green tones!
I love the Poppy and Mint invitations! They match our colors perfectly! Thank you for offering this great giveaway.
I’m sorry, I think those are the Kathryn invitations with mint diagonal stripes. But I’m sure you knew what I meant! :) Thanks!
Definitely the romantic early spring! Love the subtle retro vibe. :)
Looooove that popppy and mint, gah!!
I love the simplicity of the Kathryn Invitation Suite! Its very chic!
Defo the Kathryn. It’s like a little love story between a barber and a calligrapher. Aw.
I’m completely in love with the yellows and grays this season. The invitations are designed so beautifully to fit with the boards! Love love love.
The Belle Fleur as well as the Flora social stationery are my favorites, but the watercolor calling/business cards are beautiful!
I love the Faux Bois collection. It is a great combination of country and classy!!
I like the Candy Swirls Holiday card/announcement. I think it would make a beautiful post-wedding announcement card, and also be nice for thank you notes. I like that there are 4 color options or for $50 more, you can select custom colors.
the Poppy & Mint with the stripes is my favorite! How cool
I like the bold as love in yellow. I think it is sophisticated and fun.
This is such a fabulous giveaway, thank you!
It’s a tie between Oiseaux and Rustique. They both look so elegant but like someone had just invited you to a backyard tea party at the same time! (And the sample fonts are just scrumptious!)
The Rustique is so, so lovely and fresh! J’adore!
i have fallen in love with the rustique suite! so very elegant and timeless!
I can’t pick ONE! They are ALL beautiful!
