We are two friends who share a love for design, paper, and the quiet comfort of a handwritten note.

In the midst of busy days and endless movement, we believe the most meaningful moments are often the quiet, ordinary ones. A warm cup of coffee. Morning light across a table. A small pause in the middle of a busy day. These are the moments worth noticing, holding onto, and sharing.

Our handcrafted cards are built around everyday objects from daily life, illustrated in their truest form and paired with thoughtful words. Each card is meant to be a small invitation to breathe, to be present, and to cherish the little things in life, one moment at a time.

A note to slow down, notice, and be here.

The name Our PaperTales holds a meaning close to our hearts. It began with two friends creating small illustrated stories on paper. But “our” was never meant to belong to just us. It also belongs to the people who share these cards with someone they care about, or even with themselves. In that moment, the story becomes something shared.

And often, the tale goes beyond what is seen on paper—living quietly in the moments, memories, and connections they create.

Our PaperTales is also a reminder for all of us. That attention is a form of love. That the unnoticed things in life are the most beautiful ones.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re sending a note to a friend, adding a card to a gift, or keeping one for your desk as a small daily reminder.Your support helps a small, independent brand continue doing what we love.

This is your place for a slower, more present life.
