More than half of Paper Source’s items are exclusives, but the store also carries brands such as Cavallini & Co., Kate Spade, and Rifle Paper Co. and a large selection of wedding invitations from Crane & Co., William Arthur, Vera Wang, Checkerboard, and Elum.
A Paper Source representative says that more than 100 new items come in every month. Currently, the store is featuring several gifts for Mother’s Day, including a custom stamp gift box in which the recipient can choose a personalized stamp design mailed to them at no extra cost. Soon, the store will switch to Father’s Day gifts and a new summer line that features brightly patterned melamine plates, juice glasses, and more.
The store also offers fun monthly workshops on everything from card-making to home décor. The next class, “Mini Succulent Garden,” will be on May 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will teach participants to use die-cut shapes and punches to create a paper faux succulent garden. Cost to enroll is $25. In addition, check out daily in-store paper demonstrations.
