<p>There is great power in the written word, but there is great power too in the forms of the individual letters themselves. Just ask Katie Johnson, proprietress of <a href="https://www.katiemadethat.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Made That</a>.</p>
<p>The founder of this Austin house of paper is a huge fan of embellishments and ornamentation, so most of her cards and prints feature a lot of detail work. &#8220;I also believe greeting cards offer a wonderful chance for people to genuinely and honestly connect, so I strive to write sentiments that feel like they&#8217;re written in the natural, approachable, and often funny voice of a friend!&#8221; she told me.</p>
<p>Katie&#8217;s work has a beguiling sophistication and confidence to it, as well as a definite distinction, that really takes my breath away. It&#8217;s hard to believe the business is only about a year old — it already feels much more established.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21849" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Vibin_You.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21814" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/YouGotThis.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21809" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BestThings.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="575" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21812" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/FlubbedUp.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21811" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/FavHuman.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21813" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LovelyBirthday.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="834" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21843" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/FlorenceNightingale_Print.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="615" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21847" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ReallyDoneIt.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="643" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21850" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/WishWeWere.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21848" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/treatyoself.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21846" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/NordicFlorals_Print.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="566" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21845" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LoveandLike.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="534" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21844" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HereForYou.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21841" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Drink.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="620" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21839" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ActualBest.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="534" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21840" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Christmas_Gift.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="574" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21810" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/CardCollection.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="545" />Shop it all <a href="https://www.katiemadethat.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> — and retailers, Katie is also accepting wholesale accounts.
