Positive Prints
It’s easy to get caught up in the tunnel of routine, the rush hour of parenting and the waves of general life without thinking deeply about what your soul is whispering or searching for magic outside your comfort zone.
Our positive prints have been inspired by that personal experience and a desire to connect with an inner self. Our simple line sketching’s feature positive phrases to encourage self-discovery & self-belief. Each one is embellished with etched acrylics & wood details that creates a unique 3d style of print for gifting or hanging in a gallery wall.

Greeting Cards
Paper Tree greeting cards are designed to be framed & cherished. Each card is embellished with a laser cut coin that features an engraved illustration. Simple, positive wording & quotes on each card allow individual cards to be used for various occasions & moments that deserve to be marked with a handwritten note inside a beautiful card.

- Flecked & coloured with grain & fruit Residues

A Final Note
Paper Tree is based in Donegal , Ireland, everything in the collection is designed and sustainably crafted in the design studio on the crown of the Wild Atlantic Way. The brand was born from a personal need to gift meaningful products to loved ones that would be cherished and become part of their home.
During her time as a Giftware Buyer, the Founder & designer, Laura saw a gap in the market for personal gifts, products that resonated with people and items that sparked connection. With a background in design & marketing she combined her skills to start Paper Tree, first specialising in personalised products and now developing a wider range of wholesale products that feel personal.
Over time, her crew of tiny humans grew & she found herself in that rush hour of life, parenting, working and juggling. There came a point that she realised she had been swept up in the whirlwind & had lost that connection to herself, her ambitions & herself belief. Echoes of these feelings were heard from others within her community. The inspiration for the 2022 collection became clear as she began spending more time in nature, sea swimming, nurturing her mind & practicing mindfulness/gratitude. It all became part of a tapestry to reconnect with herself & a need to inspire others was born.
As a brand, Paper Tree believe that a home should be a collection of treasures that reflect you, a jigsaw of your story. The products reflect that belief, designed to symbolise memories and places in your story, designed to create moments of connection during special occasions, designed to spark a journey of self-belief & discovery.
