Our Story
When Words Deserve Something Beautiful
At Thistle & Ink, we believe that some sentiments deserve more than a signature scrawled hastily in a cheap card, they deserve a masterpiece that reflects genuine feeling. From the first brushstroke to the final wax seal, each of our hand-painted cards, invitations and gifts is created to capture the true meaning of love, friendship and heartfelt connection.
Our pieces are more than paper and ink; they are keepsakes of life’s most precious moments. From the moment your recipient feels the weight of one of our luxury envelopes, they’ll know this is something special. A gesture of care, a whisper of romance, a link of family bond, a sign of true friendship – a moment to remember.
Every card is lovingly illustrated and crafted using only the finest materials, each one a small work of art waiting to be filled with your words. Whether slipped between the pages of a favourite book, framed as a lasting token, or kept with other treasured mementoes, a Thistle and Ink creation is made to be cherished for a lifetime.
So take a moment, pour yourself a cup of tea, and wander through our world of hand-painted cards, bespoke invitations, and thoughtful gifts. Discover a place where artistry meets affection, and every detail speaks of beauty, care and timeless elegance.
Clients have praised us for not just our designs but the emotion and thoughtfulness we pour into every unique piece.
