My Story
Hi, I'm Marlena.
Ever since I was little, I’ve found magic in paper — the rustle of a fresh journal, the joy of filling a page with colour, and the comfort of capturing life’s little moments. Motherhood meant setting that passion aside for a while, but as I guided my two children through the adventure of homeschooling, my love for journaling returned stronger than ever.
That spark became Collective Paper Co: a family-run business where we create stickers that make journaling and planning not only easier, but more beautiful and meaningful. Each sheet is designed, printed, cut, and packed by hand in our cosy home office in Essex, UK — no mass production, just thoughtful craftsmanship with heart in every detail.
Because I believe journaling isn’t just about staying organised — it’s about telling your story. And with the right little touches, every page can become a memory worth keeping.
“For me, Collective Paper Co is about cherishing the small, everyday moments, and giving them a place to live forever on paper.” — Marlena, Founder of Collective Paper Co.
Why Our Stickers Are Unique
Our stickers are printed on delicate yet durable Japanese washi (rice) paper — semi-transparent, smooth to the touch, and designed to add character without adding bulk to your journal or planner.
Our stickers are kiss-cut, meaning only the top layer is gently trimmed — making them easy to peel and apply without tearing the backing paper.
Every sticker creation is thoughtfully crafted, mixing playful charm with practical function: from little decorative touches that spark joy, to helpful icons that make organisation effortless.
What truly sets us apart is the care behind every stage. With premium materials, unique designs, and family-made craftsmanship, our stickers aren’t just stationery; they’re a way to bring beauty, organisation, and meaning to your pages.
Welcome to Collective Paper Co!
Let’s make your pages as magical as the moments they hold.
“Collective Paper Co is not just my story, it's yours, it’s ours. Together we’re creating journals filled with beauty, calm, and memories worth keeping.” — Marlena, Founder of Collective Paper Co.
