New cards, new tape, new stuff
One of my favorite parts of running paper&stuff is seeing a bunch of separate ideas finally come together as a collection. A sketch becomes a card, a pattern becomes a roll of tape, and suddenly the things that have been living in my head are real.
This latest batch includes new greeting cards for birthdays, celebrations, encouragement, and the particular experience of missing a friend who lives much too far away. Plus new washi tape designs ready to bring more color to envelopes, gifts, notebooks, and whatever else could use it. Altogether, it’s a collection of little things made to help people connect, celebrate, and add more personality to the everyday.
Meet the new cards
This batch is celebratory, happy, bold, and very colorful. There are cards for birthdays, congratulations, encouragement, and those friendships that somehow survive on texts, voice notes, and plans to visit each other “soon.”
It also marks Todd’s paper&stuff debut. Todd (short for To-Da!) is here with balloons, a cake, and the appropriate amount of birthday enthusiasm.
The long-distance friendship cards came from a very real feeling: some of my best friends live all over the country, and I miss them. I wanted to make something that felt more specific than a general “thinking of you” card. Something for the friend you don’t see nearly enough but still talk to as if they live down the street. The result is the Stretchy Hands card and Never Out of Reach card.
Meet Todd, short for “ta-da,” arriving with balloons, cake, and exactly the right amount of birthday enthusiasm. This cheerful character birthday card works for friends, family, coworkers, kids, and anyone who deserves a little extra celebration.

Wishing a friend or family member a very happy birthday

A little more color for the everyday
This collection came together around the kinds of small moments paper&stuff has always been made for: celebrating someone, encouraging a friend, staying connected across the miles, or making an ordinary package feel a little more personal. The new cards and washi may be small things, but they’re designed to bring more color, wit, and thoughtfulness to whatever you’re sending. I’m excited to finally have them out of my head and into the world, and I hope you find exactly the right person, package, or notebook for them.
