Default Lets Talk Paper-Source

I dont hear a lot of chatter about this company.

I know they are a bit pricey, but for me, 9.00 shipping to canada is a HUGE plus.

I do tend to do alot of invites for family and freinds, and they are invite oriented.

Their handmade papers are just gorgeous!

Thier cardstock colours are beautiful (had anyone seen the new peacock ???!!) And I love that I can get ribbon, envelopes and eyelets in their colours.

So tell me what to you all think about PS

I bought some notecards and stamps the last time I was in one of their retail stores. The notecards and matching envelopes are fabulous and the colors are great, although I haven't seen peacock. If I were doing invitations again, their collections would be my first choice.

And their catalogs are inspiring, especially if you like graphic, modern stationary styles. I feel their stamps and style are similar to Savvy Stamps.

Oh My Gosh! I love the Paper Source, I am lucky to have a store five minutes away so I am there all the time. My gallery is filled with cards using The Paper Source cardstock and ribbon!

I LOVE Paper Source! There's one in Kansas City about an hour or so from me, and I get there as often as I can. It's one of my favorite places to buy letterpress greeting cards to add to my collection. The selection of craft supplies is pretty good. I've shopped the website when I haven't been able to make it to the store, and I've had nothing but good service.

I like Paper-Source, but I don't love it. I like their color selections and DP, but their stamps and embelishments always seem to be the same. Whenever I am in the area of one I will stop in and usually will find something I like, but typically don't do out of my way to go to one.

Oh, I love that store! I am lucky that there is one right by my work. I adore their washi and specialty papers and they always have such beautiful letterpress items.

I love Paper Source!! The quality of their paper and envelopes is the best. Ok, they don't have a huge selection of stamps, but the ones they do have are timeless and the best quality you can get. There ribbon is high quality also. I've ordered from them several times and had super Customer Service.

I only wish I lived nearer one of their retail stores......closest to me would be VA or DC....I'm in NJ, not exactly an afternoon drive away.

I've actually avoided their precut cards, card stock, and envelopes because they don't have a matching set of inks. What inks are y'all using to match their colors? Do the Memento colors match them well?

As for their other products, I've found them to be good quality but a bit overpriced. They do have some wonderful things though!

There is one in Princeton, NJ.

I thought I heard they were opening one in Philly, but it doesn't show up on their website and I can't remember where I heard it

I do wedding invites sometimes and always use Paper Source papers, envies, and such. You get 10% off if you order 10 packs or more, which I almost always do for wedding. I haven't tried any of their stamps yet, but there are a few I have been wanting.

Absolutely love their imported and handmade paper selection. Last time I was in the gold shimmer cardstock was on sale and I scored a great deal! Here are two cards I've made using their gorgeous papers...

Happy Birthday Fleur - Imported European paper
Thinking of you Rose - Hand made watercolor paper

I love Paper Source. I live near a store. Their letterpress cards are beautiful. handmade papers are lovely. The Their cardstock and ribbons are wonderful. The only thing missing is matching ink. I really like their envelope and liner templates. The shape of their envelopes is much prettier than most.
