Freshly Minted : Storybook Save the Date

Posted on February 12, 2014 by lhankins08

Today I’m sharing my first ever Save the Date design for Minted. For one reason or another I never managed to enter any of the Save the Date challenges in the 5+ years I’ve been submitting designs. I know, I’ve been missing out! Save the Dates are incredibly popular, and are a great way to show off (and justify) all of those beautiful engagement session photos.

Storybook is a full bleed photo card with playful type, banners, and swashes to showcase your wedding date. The backer and liner feature a neutral kraft background with coordinating patterns.

I have three more non-photo Save the Dates launching in the near future, I’ll be back to share them just as soon as they’re live!

Storybook and the rest of my wedding stationery for Minted can be found in the Duncan Park Papers shop.

Posted on September 27, 2013 by lhankins08

Happy Friday! I’m back to introduce more of my 2013 holiday collection for Minted- specifically my three new Minibook designs. If you’ve never heard of Minibooks, they are these great booklet style cards that provide multiple pages for sharing photos and text. They’re the perfect way to showcase family updates, special moments, and plenty of photos.

Here’s the first of my Minibook designs, Warm + Cozy:

Next up is Snowlace + Kraft:

And finally, Winterberry Frame:

If you follow Duncan Park Papers on Facebook, you may have recall that this design, Winterberry Frame, snagged 4th place in the Minted Holiday Minibook challenge– super exciting stuff!

These Minibook designs and the rest of my holiday cards can be found in the Duncan Park Papers Minted storefront. I’ll be back later today with one more new release for the holiday card collection- stay tuned!

Orders have already started trickling in, so despite my urge to savor every second of this gorgeous fall weather, I’m going to fast forward a bit– it’s time to introduce my 2013 Minted holiday card collection!

Today I’m featuring my three new holiday photo cards: Merry Bright + Geometric, Simple Snapshots, and Snow Fancy.

First up is Merry Bright + Geometric:

This design is a unique take on a multi-photo card, featuring a fun hexagonal print with a touch of kraft paper.

Next is another multi-photo card, Simple Snapshots:

Simple Snapshots is a great card for making use of a lot of pics from a family photo session, or to show off a variety of exciting events from throughout the year.

Finally, one of my favorites, Snow Fancy:

This one features faux gold glitter details, and a single photo layout– don’t worry though, Minted offers a variety of backers you can choose from to show off additional photos. There are also multiple color options, greetings, and die-cut shapes to choose from to truly customize your card!

These cards and the rest of my Minted holiday cards can be found in the Duncan Park Papers Minted storefront. I’ll be back later this week with more new releases, be sure to check back!

Vintage Lace Letterpress Suite

Posted on September 10, 2013 by lhankins08

Wow, how is it already September? I have been hard at work on my wedding invitation collection, and am getting so excited to debut it in the coming months.

The invitation suite I’m introducing today, Vintage Lace, is one that I designed for Kimberly Fitzsimons, Classically Chic Letterpress. I won’t lie, I was absolutely obsessed with the samples when they showed up at my door a few weeks ago– the patterned letterpress backers, the gold foil (!)– these are some luxurious invitations!

Printed in Pool ink and Gold Foil on fluorescent white cotton paper, the design features a delicate lace pattern and classic, elegant type.

Vintage Lace, in addition to my Ringlet suite, is available for purchase through Kimberly Fitzsimons’ shop.

Freshly minted : marquee

Posted on July 9, 2013 by lhankins08

Today I’m introducing the last of my new wedding invitation suites for Minted: Marquee.

Marquee Wedding Invitation, Duncan Park Papers

This design was inspired by vintage theater posters, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I especially love the RSVP card, and of course the patterns on the envelope liners and the backers. Patterns are my favorite thing to work on with any design- I love figuring the scale, illustration and type of repeat to use to really tie everything together.

Marquee and the rest of my wedding invitations are available for purchase via my Minted storefront.

Be sure to check back in later this week, I have a stack of recent custom projects that I’m excited to share!

freshly minted : baby’s breath

Posted on July 5, 2013 by lhankins08

Goodmorning, hope you had a lovely 4th yesterday!

Today I’m introducing the second of my most recent designs for Minted’s wedding invitation line: Baby’s Breath.

Baby's Breath Wedding Invitation, Duncan Park Papers,

A little backstory on the inspiration…
In college I worked at a flower shop on campus, and I hated Baby’s Breath- I preferred other fillers, or nothing but greens with my flowers. More recently though, I developed a little crush on it- thanks to images like these:

babysbreath-inspiration

Baby’s Breath (aka Gypsophila) on its own can be quite lovely, with its cloud-like fluffiness. I wanted this suite to capture that dreamy quality of Baby’s Breath, as well as its subtle nature. To see more beautiful images of Baby’s Breath in action, check out this Pinterest Board that I put together.

The Baby’s Breath invitation suite and the rest of my wedding invitations for Minted are available for purchase in my storefront.

Freshly minted : Country Classic

Posted on July 2, 2013 by lhankins08

My most recent wedding invitations for Minted were a lot of fun to work on. I really enjoyed focusing on the details in the coordinating pieces- to me, these thoughtful elements and unique touches are what make invitations memorable. Here is the first of my three new wedding suites, Country Classic:

country classic wedding invitation suite duncan park papers

My favorite parts of this suite are all of the slightly mismatched patterns. In designing the various pieces I wanted the overall look to be sweet and dainty, like the contents of a linen drawer in an old farmhouse.

Country Classic and the rest of my invitation suites can be found in my Minted shop. Check back later this week and early next week for posts on my other two new invitation designs!

I don’t know about you, but every time I check facebook somebody else has just announced a pregnancy or a birth, and my feed is full of sweet little faces and chubby baby thighs. I’m not complaining; I’m totally guilty of posting loads of baby pics, and it’s pretty fun to watch my friends become parents to little mini-me versions of themselves.

Below are some new baby shower invitations I designed for Minted, perfect for all of the expecting mommies-to-be in your life!
