Meet Team Papernest - Tam and Manny

Heartfelt. Hilarious. Full of little surprises.

We just make the sorts of cards we'd like to get ourselves!

Papernest is an Australian card company with a simple mission: share the love.

In just a few short years, we've gone from hand-made to home-grown success, with our cards now on the shelves of fancy florists, friendly neighbourhood newsagents and classy gift shops run by deadset legends.

We started out making cards to help raise funds for the 2011 Brisbane Floods Appeal. There was no grand business strategy... but yet here we still are!

What makes Papernest cards the kind of cards your friend will keep?

You know – the kind they put on their fridge or their mantlepiece or their desk at work to show Steph from accounts because she always likes a laugh. (oh Steph, never change.)

A person with curly red hair holds a square card featuring a koala wearing a party hat against a pink background. The person is wearing white daisy-shaped sunglasses and a cream floral top, posed against a dark blue background.

The opposite of mass production.

We believe in working with Australian artists, using high-quality paper and cutting out anything bad for the planet. We also believe in ensuring our jokes get giggles and groans. We're going for gold here, Steph.

Each card is a mini-showbag packed with mini-goodies.

Tarot Cards let your friends enjoy a 100% accurate fortune (accuracy not guaranteed), Seeds make the gift that keeps on giving and growing with planting instructions included, and Love Vouchers are as simple as fill in the blank and hand over – perfect for when you've forgotten a prezzie.

Now a decade on, we've brought many talented artists and papermakers into the nest who all share our love of high-quality and highly quirky cards.

And good news for our loyal fans – we're unlikely to stop. We love it too much.
