A peek behind our process and the steps that go into creating the products in our shop, more specifically our greeting cards.
OUR PROCESS

1. Inspiration
Botanica Paper Co. stationery line reflects Oana Befort's unique visual approach and love for the natural world. Her greatest source of inspiration are florals and plants, but she also finds inspiration in folklore motifs, design, photography, nostalgia, fauna, and everyday life.

2. DREAM & SKETCH
Our greeting cards start out as small sketches in Oana's sketchbooks. They explore composition, color, shapes, and concepts for new visuals.

3. PAINT, PAINT, PAINT
Share blog posts, products, or promotions with your customers. Use this text to describe products, share details on availability and style, or as a space to display recent reviews or FAQs.

4. SCAN & EDIT
From scanning to editing, each illustration is carefully adjusted and prepared for printing. This is the stage where some illustrations might not make it to print.
5. PRINT
We aim to work work local printers as much as possible. Being able to be present for the press checks is helping us make sure everything is printed correctly and the colors are accurate.
6. IN-HOUSE FOILING
A percentage of our are greeting cards are hot-foiled in our studio by hand using a tabletop hot foiling machine.
7. INSPECT & PACK
Each greeting card and item in our shop is inspected and packaged by hand in our studio. We have an eye for detail and we want to make sure everything is perfect.
8. SHIP WITH CARE
Once all the items are ready, they are carefully and beautifully packed for the journey to their destination.
9. OUT IN THE WORLD
It gives us great joy to know that our products find new homes through our wonderful direct customers as well as through over 500+ stores that carry our line in the States and in the world.
