Paper Source

I was first introduced to Paper Source when I lived in Austin, TX and when I moved to Milwaukee I was THRILLED to find there was one close by. Paper Source is my guilty pleasure and I say guilty because I always spend $ 30 more than I walk in planning to spend. I finally made it to one of their crafting workshops this week and had a blast. The workshops are genius because they are fun, remind you how much you love to craft, and give them a chance to show off their new products. The workshop I went to was a holiday card making class and we embossed, line envelopes, and made our own stickers. At then end they give you at 10% off coupon and then its a slippery slope.
Beyond us crafters I recommend Paper Source to anyone looking for a quirky gift or nice greeting cards. I found a fun bar tool «swiss army knife» for my boyfriend last Christmas and calendars for myself! The only downfall is their location in the parking fiasco that is Bayshore. Brave the parking and you’ll see Paper Source is well worth the visit.

I ordered personalized invitations online, and they were lost by the post office. I called Paper Source to let them know, and without any question they sent a new order. They arrived 2 days later! I’m very thankful for the great customer service!

I knew about Paper Source because I had browsed their website last year after I got engaged. There aren’t too many dedicated stationary/​card/​paper supply stores in Milwaukee so I was pleasantly surprised when they opened their store in Bayshore. The store is large, well lit, and has large tables to lay projects out on. Take a look around at the displays for ideas of what you could do — with more time, I may have lined my own envelopes!
The invites I ordered for my wedding were custom made from another vendor and didn’t include envelopes. I ran around town today looking at JoAnn, Michael’s, etc. and didn’t find the color selection of envelopes that I desired. So, I drove over to the Paper Source, walked in, and saw the back wall calling my name. There are about 20 different colors of envelopes and cards on the back wall and you can buy them in packs of 10.
When i first arrived, I was on the phone, but after I hung up the phone they immediately greeted me and started to help me out. The person who greeted me was helpful and friendly, but then had something else to tend to, so she transitioned our interaction to Laura who helped me pick out different envelopes and stickers.
Laura was awesome. She was friendly and patient, which I needed, because I just couldn’t decide on the envelopes and stickers that I wanted to use to seal them. Ultimately, I ended up going with her great suggestion on the getting 50% of one color and 50% of another.
They have pens, and envelopes, invitation suites, templates for DIY, cutting supplies, ribbons, thank you, special occasion cards, other supplies, and REALLY nice people. You won’t regret it.
