Paper Source

I love paper products. My boyfriend hates taking me to paper stores because I wander around collecting things in my arms for what seems like hours. …Ok, sometimes it really IS hours. …He could probably have dinner and come back and I’d still be looking at things.
The lady who helped me (sorry, don’t remember her name!) was super nice, never pushy, and helped point out things I never would’ve thought about. Like how you can’t print on shiny envelopes without smearing (use a sharpie instead). I love their sales sections as there’s always something super adorable that I can horde until the next holiday. There’s also usually easy to find free street parking nearby. Always a plus in Seattle!

When they say customer service… They mean it. My husband and I started looking at invite books for our wedding. We had NO plans to buy something unless it was a DIY project. Well, Windy helped us so much that we found the perfect invites and we were instantly in love with them. She worked endless hours to ensure they were perfect and made the whole experience feel like a friend instead of the manager of a store. The font was perfect, the color was to die for and they were better than our wildest dreams!
After we sent the wedding invites out, I went back to her to find a seal for our envelopes. She informed me that if we did do the specific seal we wanted that we would have to buy extra postage for each envelope due to the weight. I really appreciated that since weddings are expensive enough as it is. We found a perfect alternative and she even taught me how to use each thing I would need.
We also got custom labels from her as well for our gift boxes, they were perfect and she even did a proof for me before they were actually printed.
They have the coolest gifts/​fun things to browse and you are encouraged to take your time and just have fun!
Bottom line… if you have any paper needs, make this your first stop. Trust me. They are the best!

Today was my first visit to this store, and I couldn’t be happier with the customer service I received.
I went in looking for a gift for my mum. I had no idea what I wanted to get. A sales person (I think her name was Catie) chatted with me and ended up giving me some great ideas for things to make. She made lots of suggestions without feeling pushy and she paid attention to what made the most sense for me. I chatted with a few other people working there and left feeling really pleased with the whole experience.
I recommend this store to anyone. They have great stationary, quirky products, and really great customer service.

Ah-​maz-​ing! Holy cow I’m so glad this store is up on the hill. At first I was shy about heading in, figured it was just another card store with a rude staff. Boy was I wrong. They’re friendly, helpful, awesome, and it’s nice to be able to just browse without having a salesperson lurking over your shoulder. I’ve bought more things here since they’ve opened then I care to admit to. Hello floral wreath and holiday garland I made myself, I’m talking about you! From fancy knick knacks (yes those reindeer juice glasse I bought are probably listed in that category) to fun crafts that make you feel like a Martha Stewart in your own home this place is great! If you want to impress and have people go «YOU made that?» Or if you want to just show yourself you can do it, make it, and have it look awesome then this store is for you. Don’t walk, run, and craft your hearts out.

Pricey but wow, what a selection of beautiful things! I’ll admit when they first opened on Queen Anne I found myself wishing that it had been a fun new restaurant instead of a paper store, but yesterday when I found myself needing some creative/​high quality packaging last minute for a client meeting I was sure thankful to have Paper Source so close. The staff was SUPER helpful, gave me ideas I hadn’t even thought of, and set me up at a table to assemble the folder that I needed for my meeting. The prices on some things were a bit higher than I thought necessary but other things were pretty decent. I will definitely be back.

Great selection! This is one of the better Paper Source stores I’ve been to! I could spend hours looking through their beautiful papers. The staff was amazing! They were super friendly and took the time to tell us all about their crafting classes. I will definitely be back!

Yay! A Paper Source in Queen Anne. No, I’m not being sarcastic. I love specialty paper stores. They just opened and I’m happy!
Dazzled by: selection of wrapping papers, cards, stampers, stencils
Less dazzled by: selection of Origami papers, Mylar paper, PRICES.
Well, it’s a specialty shop, so I guess I can’t complain too much about the prices, but they are steep (oops I notice I just complained about it — twice).
Employees are attentive and helpful, store layout refreshingly open and airy. I like the snack selection too. My favorite thing: wrapping paper that looks like old maps.
Welcome to Queen Anne! I’ll be back.
