Meet the Maker - Paperleaf


"I've always loved pretty stationery, and after designing and making the invitations for my wedding last year I decided to start Paperleaf as a creative outlet from my day "job" as a PhD student.

All of my cards are screenprinted using a Gocco machine, a crazy Japanese invention that has a cult-like following in the craft world! It's very important to me to use recycled and environmentally-friendly materials - all of my paper/card supplies are recycled and even my bags are biodegradable and compostable. Some of my designs are even double-recycled such as my notepads which I make from scrap paper from my office's recycling bin!

I currently sell my goodies on Etsy and Folksy and I have recently launched my own shop, Paperleaf Studio at - http://paperleafstudio.co.uk/shop
