Worthwhile Paper
Hand-Pressed Greeting Cards + Paper Goods

“Our core values are to cultivate meaningful connections… Within the self: I believe in the growth and abundance that comes from self-reflection and self-love, and this inspires my designs and collections. Within humanity: Our goods are meant to share with others. Beyond the love language of connecting people through artful paper goods and thoughtful sentiments, we value connections between humans on a deep level. As a white straight cis woman-led creative business owner, I am always in practice of finding ways to contribute my energy and funds from my work to redistribute to BIPoC and LGBTQ+ led organizations, initiatives, and educational resources that are working to dismantle systems of oppression. I report on what we are doing and when we donate along with resource links in my monthly newsletter. To Earth: We value Earth and her resources, and plant one tree for each sale in partnership with a non-profit called One Tree Planted as a way of giving back and saying “thank you for the gift of paper!” We use methods and materials that show kindness to Earth such as recycled paper and water-based inks.”
