Paper Source

Awesome for last minute gifts or just gifts in general and crafting supplies. A little on the pricey side (but this is the only place I’d ever spend money retail price). The employees are very nice and helpful. I’ve never left this store without buying anything for myself :)

This store has really competent staff who are not only friendly and helpful, but smart and efficient too. The cashiers here are well trained and know their stock and are quick to offer really helpful suggestions and go out of their way to help you. They’re bright too, not like some of the dimwits that constantly make mistakes at other retail stores.

I really enjoy coming to this place. The staff is friendly, the options are endless, and it is a nice place to visit. I really like the wrapping paper, the card making supplies, and the knick-​knacks. I wish I had people to buy all of these cute little things for! They have a lot of funny cards as well as a lot of calendars. I have also taken a holiday card-​making class, and I want to take more classes! It really was a lot of fun and I will definitely come back. Only negative of this place is that some things are pretty pricey (i.e. the boxes of Christmas cards, the individual cards that cost $ 7 – 10, etc.).

I can always find great gifts here for birthdays or christmas. Really cute, unique items. Wish it weren’t so pricey. But good stuff here. Take a look if you are needing a thoughtful, gift, there is something for everyone.

Love this store! Beautiful variety of paper, pens, stickers, cards, books, and unique gifts.

This place is great. You could wander around this place for an hour just to look at the unusual stuff that they have.

Refusing gift wrapping services on Christmas Eve despite calling ahead, being told they will do it, coming in at noon. Rude, bad form, false advertising. Never spending a dime here. Ever.

I LOVE paper. I LOVE nick-​nacks. I LOVE crafts. I LOVE pretty things.
This place had all of this and more. Although on the pricey side, what a great place to browse and source for inspiration and while away an hour.

Favorite stationary /​party /​invitation /​cute store! Has everything from paper and cards to boxed sets, markers, stamps, wrapping paper, unique gifts, toys, decorations, candy, etc. Excellent service! Must come here to get invitations and thank yous. A bit pricy but worth it! Try their classes. If you need help, in store how tos are available!!!

I have recently gotten into crafting and directing my creativity onto paper and such, so discovering this little gem of the beautiful city of Walnut Creek was like finding a hidden treasure of gold.
The store is organized really well, and it has a great flow. Things are laid out according to the age group they suit, or what type of craft you are pursuing. There are tons of unique prints, stamps, stationary sets, wrapping papers, cards, kits, you name it. Truly, there is something here for everybody, including gifts! They have sweet gifts for everybody– young, old, children, sisters, moms, etc. They are unique and personal items that would really show somebody that you put some thought into your gift.
I love this place, and the staff are also kind and helpful. I cannot wait to go back!

This has the most unique cards/​wrapping paper! Which are a few of my favorite things! In addition to that, they have cute gifts and it looks like a great place for any kind of invitations. It is a little pricey but definitely worth it.

This place has really adorable stuff, some on the pricier side but worth it for that specialty item.
However my experience with extremely poor service means I probably won’t shop there again.
I was shopping for cards or something to make card/​trinkets to invite people to be in my wedding party. I rushed over on a Sunday after yoga, 30 minutes before closing. I knew they were closing soon but made it a point to hurry so as not to be in the store late.
There were many employees (and some customers) in the store. The employees were working on taking down their Christmas items, it seemed like a good sized move. I understand they had a big project on their hands, but they were still open, and no one spoke to me at all. I looked all over the store for ideas, but was at a loss. I needed help, and wanted to spend money.
My fiancé came to meet me a few minutes before the store closed, I decided not to buy anything that night but wanted to show him what I had found. As we reentered the store (I stepped outside to greet him) a woman came up to us and said «just so you know we are closing in a couple minutes.» Yes! I know! And you are being very rude about it! Is what I was thinking.
Like I mentioned earlier, love their stuff but will never shop at this location again. :(

I can see why my sister likes Paper Source so much. This is a great place to purchase unique gifts and original, quirky greeting cards. I wouldn’t have thought to come into a store like this if it wasn’t for tagging along with my sister on a shopping trip to Broadway Plaza. I thought Paper Source was one of those «girly» stores, but I was wrong. Well, kind of.
I was immediately drawn to the greeting card section and it didn’t take long for me to find ones I liked. From the simple and cute to the funny and just plain weird, there seems to be a card for just about everyone. These aren’t run-​of-​the-​mill Target greeting cards. They’re a step above (and also cost a couple extra dollars more too). However, they’re worth it because I think the recipient will notice the difference in quality and distinctness. Plus, they’re cooler.
Along with greeting cards, this store sells invitations, customized stamps, gift wrap, and neat gifts like… Sriracha candy canes! I like the invitation designs. Little did I know, there’s a Paper Source in Atlanta too (Virginia Highland). I’ll be checking it out in the future.
According to its web site, Paper Source has over 70 stores in 24 states. The company plans to continue expansion in 2014. This particular store is located next to the Broadway Plaza shopping center. Like everything else in the area, parking is limited, so you may consider parking in the shopping center’s garage.
I walked into Paper Source expecting just to browse (or be bored). Instead, I walked out pleasantly surprised with newly purchased greeting cards in hand. I look forward to delivering them.

This store is sensation overload for me. As you walk in you’re surrounded by beautiful paper, walk in further and you’re bombarded by craft supplies, and eventually you hit the wall of cards. There are so many things that I love about this store and I was thrilled that they finally opened one closer to my house.
The employees are super friendly, they know the stock and they know how to craft. When I was creating stuff for my wedding I had a staff member sit down with me and show me different techniques until I was satisfied I could do them on my own. When I’m in the mood to make some cards I like to walk around and look at the different cards hanging around the store for inspiration. They also have classes in the store though I have yet to attend.
My ONLY complaint since I’m giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars is that they have too much random gift type stuff and not enough crafting supplies. Their website has a TON of stuff and I hate to order it online if there’s a store down the street.

Staff is great. They are very courteous and helpful. There are lots of color and paper options. I would recommend anyone to go to them.
