WHY I DRAW CARDS BY HAND IN A DIGITAL WORLD

Hey, I’m Laura — the hand, heart, and ink-stained fingers behind Papyra.

I started drawing cards because I could never find ones that felt honest — they were either too cheesy, too cold, or too… glittery. So I made my own.

Papyra is about real connection. It’s for the quiet I-miss-yous, the messy apologies, the birthdays you almost forgot — and the inside jokes only two people in the world would understand.

Every card is hand-illustrated, thoughtfully worded, and made to make someone smile (or snort, or cry a little - ideally all three).

Thanks for being here. I hope these cards make your people feel wildly loved.
