Paper Relics was created by Hope Wallace Karney in 2004. Little did she know that her love of old paper and glue would turn into a full time job. Hope grew up nurturing a huge imagination, which, coupled with her sentimental tendencies have helped her develop a unique product line.

She is known for mixing old elements with modern aesthetics to create unique and whimsical designs. Her stationery, rubber-stamp and ephemera lines all evoke a bygone era. Her work has been featured in several national magazines, including Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion and Country Living, as well as books and high profile blogs.
