Paper Source

The store was beautiful and pristine. The stock was wonderful and well displayed. I went into get the great 30% off deal for Planners that I heard they just put out. The store staff were doing inventory, getting rid of the old, and bringing out the new Valentines days adorableness. I found this timing at 5 o’clock right after work interesting, for as I have worked retail inventory days, which stores make employees stay late or come in early to avoid having customers in their hair while getting everything sorted. To be fair there were only 3 or so customers in the store; I was awaiting my fiancé to make up my mind on which planners I was to buy.
So, I entered store at 5:05, knowing he would be there to meet me at 5:17 ish. Now, between these 13 minutes I had employees excusing their selves for me to move in front of the planner display, so they could notate whatever they were doing for inventory. I felt so bad I was in their way… Oh wait no… no I didn’t, for they chose to pick after work time on the day they release their planner sale to do said inventory/​rearranging. And I went to buy a planner for all my loved ones whose birthdays are coming up.
I was so very lucky to have had 4 employees ask me if I needed help or simply stand behind me. I assume they were looking at my awesome hair from 2 feet away; it was a good hair day of mine. Finally after 8 minutes had passed, three huge planners in my hands, me trying to decide which one I could connect with for the next 12 months. I had to politely ask the person standing behind me if I was a bother and explained I am meeting my fiancée here. She explained in shock I was the only customer there so she wanted to help. I said I will ask her if help were needed. 2 minutes later my fiancé came in and I wanted for him to see if he needed any stationary. The latter employee proceeded to follow us in the back of the store where I was showing him the awesomely displayed stamps, knowing he needed one. He finally looked at me and told me which planner he thought I would have the best relationship with and pointed me to the checkout. He later explained to me that it was not my hair the ladies were admiring up close, but more that of the sense that I was a 13 year old with a backpack in Claires cheap hair accessories store. Now, unless you think of your store as a cheaply made-​in-​China store for pubescent teens, treat your customers as though they are not acne ridden, Beiber loving thieves.
Oh 13 minutes and $ 25 well spent.

Love love love this place. They just helped pull off a surprise engagement for our daughter at their store and they were so helpful and everything went as planned because they were so accommodating! Thank you from the bottom of my hearts! coolest paper store ever with some awesome and unique items.

This is a great store for unique cards for all occasions and personal little gifts. also a lot of stuff for crafts and scrapbooking. the staff was very helpful, I asked about their class schedule and the employee was able to answer to some degree but was new and did not know much about it but I give her props for trying and seeming eager to help.
The big downer it that is super expensive and u can get all the same craft stuff/​supplies for a lot cheaper at Michaels or somewhere else.

This store is so cute! I love all of the cuteness and gift selection! I want to hang out in this store all day, because it is full of inspiration of things to make with paper and things to wrap with paper!
There is a wall full of beautiful envelopes and stationary in a rainbow of colors. They have a cute selection of rubber stamps and wrapping paper stuff too! If you don’t want to make a card, they sell greeting cards too, way better than Hallmark!
This location is newer than the one in North Scottsdale. I think it opened in August. It seemed a little smaller than the other location, but I don’t care, I LOVE shopping at Paper Source! The gals on staff were friendly and very helpful.
I think the prices are reasonable at Paper Source. If you are a craft chain store coupon clipper, then you might think the prices are too high. If you want cute paper things then you won’t mind the prices! Yes, I’m a paper snob!
It is located in the Town & Country Shopping Center next to Nordstrom Rack.

Great shop. Love the location. I’m sooooooo happy that a Paper Source opened up on my side of town.
The Friends and Family event was fun. The store was crowded so that was nice to see. The layout of the store is easy to maneuver and they have a great selection of paper and crafting supplies as well as gifts (see my other Paper Source review). The store was packed with employees as well as managers from regional and probably the store in the Scottsdale Quarter. I witnessed some training going on but the new employees were jumping right in and were excited.
If you sign up with your email you will receive an email for 10% off. Not sure how long that promotion will last but even when it’s over, sign up anyway. The emails are great as well as their catalog.
Happy crafting.
