The art of saying thank you, meticulously restored

A handwritten, tissue-lined envelope, enclosing a carefully chosen letterpress printed card and some heartfelt words of appreciation; when a word of thanks is not enough, Meticulous Ink’s range of thank you and correspondence cards will help deliver a message of gratitude that is worthy of the deed.

With a tasteful light grey and blue design, printed onto Meticulous Ink’s very own Walcot Wove 300gsm, 100% British made cotton card, the refined and decorative ‘Thanking you kindly’ card revives the lost art of saying thank you, delighting the recipient with its pacific blue tissue lining as soon as the seal is broken. Elegant in its simplicity, the pastel ‘thank you’ card’s handwritten design provides a soft and tactile alternative.

For those wishing to rekindle the art of putting pen to paper in magnificent style, Meticulous Ink also provides Hand Lettering courses, delivered by co-owner and head designer, Athena Cauley-Yu. The interactive workshops guide participants through the finer points of forming letters with a copperplate nib, from how to handle a dip pen and ink to basic strokes and forming each letter of the alphabet, providing the foundation for an individual style to be developed at home.

Meticulous Ink’s correspondence cards come in a wide variety of designs and are available in box sets of 10, so that when the final Christmas gift is unwrapped and the joy of giving and receiving is reflected upon, the cards can be close at hand. With over a dozen designs to choose from, including the honey bee, the pencil, the bicycle and the swallow, each box set is beautifully packaged and finished with Meticulous Ink’s unmistakable wax seal, making a perfect gift for a loved one who enjoys life’s finer things.

All cards are designed and lovingly letterpress printed on a 1960 Heidelberg Windmill at Meticulous Ink’s Printworks in Bath. Individual thank you cards cost £3.95 (shipping to the UK costs £1.20). Correspondence card box sets of 10 and thank you card box sets of six cost £20 each (shipping to the UK costs £3.90). All cards are available in store at 134 Walcot Street, Bath or online at www.meticulousink.com.
