Latest designs

NEW - Vintage Circus First birthday invitation

An adorable 1 year old + super pretty and all the rage vintage circus theme = awesome invitation - (if I do say so myself) Too Cute!

NEW - Fairytale invitation 

Ella's birthday had a castle and fairy theme - so we coordinated with this fairytale invitation designed especially for Ella.

COMBO REQUEST - Jarrad


For this birth announcement, the client requested the colors from Austin and the layout from Ryley or Bailey. The photos that were supplied were orientated differently to both of those layouts so I used 'Bailey' as a starting point and re adjusted the grid to accommodate the proportions of these gorgeous new images. I think it looks fantastic!

COMBO REQUEST - Aidan

 
Another beauty born out of a combo request. This time the colours from Seth and the layout was left open to accommodate the images.  I went with a simple design and used the colours from the middle photo to add to the mix. Love it!

Design of the month July - Birthday thank you cards.

A great idea! How about a thank you card to thank guests for their generosity, friendship and love!
I love the fact that these thank everyone individually. there is space to write a short special note on the reverse of these mounted thank you cards. Its personal and it teaches children that gratefulness is something that we should all embrace and encourage.
These were designed especially for this special little girl. The client wanted something black and pink. It really was a joy to be inspired by such spirited photos!


Tooth Fairy!

This is an awesome idea!
I Love letterpress.
I know our local tooth fairy finds it difficult to find places to stash children's lost teeth but cant quite bring herself to throw them out!
It includes a record keeper, a certificate for your child and a tooth holder (to be filed and stored with the tooth fairy)

lucky man!

I have never seen one in my life and my little boy bends down and plucks a four leaf clover out of the weeds!
Needless to say we bought a lotto ticket on which we won...$30. But hey better than the proverbial kick in the behind!

New designs!

Camilla, was created as an alternative to lashings of pink - but still pretty and feminine! Inspiration drawn loosely from 'Elley'. The client requested greens and not too much pink. A great way to display 6 gorgeous photos when you just can't choose one!
William - the boy version of our very popular 'Tilly'. I have been desperate to make a boy version, just waiting for the perfect photo and client request!
Bree is a mauve version of 'Amelia'. The client requested butterflies to signify a special family meaning. Very cute!

Design of the month - May


This month's design is for Wedding thank you cards.
The lovely newlyweds received Olivia's birth announcement in the mail (design of the month in March) and contacted Mini Ink to create something gorgeous for her.
We haven't created wedding thank you cards before and as such had no designs in our gallery and so I was wrapped to be able to unleash a completely new design that evolved from this job.
I love the quote they used from their bridal waltz 'I hear you laugh, I heard you sing, I wouldn’t change a single thing. For you I’d wait 'til kingdom come. Until my days, my days are done' - an excerpt from Coldplay's 'Til Kingdom Comes'
Gorgeous photos, lovey colours, awesome quote!

Design of the month

Inspired by Charlotte's visionary mum! We started with a rainbow theme. Charlotte's mum sent me an image of some gorgeous stitched rainbows (photographed below) to use as a starting point, and chose the 'Isabella' naming day invitation from our gallery. 
Inspiration!



What I really enjoyed about this one was the brilliant feedback and collaboration Charlotte's mum gave me after the initial design that made it better and better until we ended up with this gorgeous final product.
