This had everything you could possibly need for any type of paper craft. There was much more variety than what you could find at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. If you don't have a specific vision of what you're looking for going in, the selection can be overwhelming but I still found it fun to browse. They do have a $15 minimum if you want to use card, so be sure to bring cash if you're just planning to buy single sheets.

I'm a huge fan of their wide range of earring selection! Affordable and reasonable pricing. Staff was helpful and available if you had any questions. Ample street parking outside

Date of visit: January 10, 2026…read more Never have I ever been inside a Paper Source store until this visit! I was concerned that it was all over-priced cards and wrapping paper and while yes, there was plenty of that, there were also a number of surprising other items and I spent far more time in the store than I expected to. Surprising bonus: You can earn and redeem Barnes & Noble rewards here. I came looking for a couple rubber stamps and an ink pad that was part of a gift and was mildly successful in that task, though the friendly staff did explain that stamps were not really popular right now and I nodded in that knowing way of how things can be so cyclical. I'm sure six months from now you won't be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a rubber stamp display and at that time, I won't need any. I also perused the clearance cards and found some good deals and was interested in some of the items near the register but none of them had any prices on them. Great that they are 50% off, but if I don't know what they are half off of, I'm not likely to buy them. Will never understand why stores have things out without prices, how many lost sales must that drive? All in all, a decent store that I will return to when I am in need of some cards--especially if they still have that clearance section!

This place was a safe space for someone close to me for over a year. When she initially arrived at…read morethis studio, she was eager to take classes and learn the art of pottery but was quickly told that classes weren't necessary for her, so she carried on, asking questions along the way to those around her willing to help. Just recently, a woman by the name of Sue approached her out of the blue and told her that she needed to pick up all of her things and leave and take classes if she wanted to come back. She was then left scavaging for all of her pieces and tools in front of all of the other artists in the studio at the time, leaving my friend mortified. She was later informed that she asked too many questions and so prompted Sue to kick her out. Because that clearly makes sense. In no situation is that kind of embarrassment ever acceptable and if this is the kind of practice that you guys are running, I want zero part of it. I hope you take a moment to reprioritize the humans who give you the money to keep your business running because if you carry on in this manner, that energy will come right back at you. Have a nice day :)

The colors turned out quite a bit different than I'd hoped, but now I'm motivated to return to try again so I can better perfect my vision! It was extremely therapeutic doing this and Suzanne is a fantastic teacher. She's very patient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

Very bad experience in the framing department here! I brought 3 paintings in to be framed. The…read morefirst one had black stuff all over the Matt that had peeled off the frame. The second one I used my own frame and bought a Matt from them, and 3rd one I ordered a custom frame, and explained I needed it on 8 days. They assured me it would be ready. They left me a message 5 minutes before closing on the day before I was supposed to pick it up saying it didn't make it on the truck but it was no big deal, they would have it ready for me in another week. (I think it didn't make it on the truck because they forgot to order it. )Obviously, this is so unprofessional it's laughable. I needed the painting framed this weekend and now I'm going to have to find another frame store. I know that sometimes these things happen but I really didn't appreciate that they didn't even have the courtesy to let me know until 7:55pm the night before.

I stopped by this store for an in-store pick-up order and of course my eyes wanders the the 'SALE' areas for remaining Halloween decor at 70-80% off! Well I walked out with some crafty things for a great price and almost forgot my items to pick-up...where my visit took a turn. I received an email notifiaion that my order would be returned to the shelf/refunded if I did not pick up by the end of close. When I approached the shelves where pick up orders are located I couldn't locate my order. Upon speaking with an associate I was informed that my order was put back already because they have too many orders out. It was frustrating because I received a better deal online for the items I purchased. Note to self to pick up asap after ordering!

They did a great job, looked good. 2 months ago the picture fell out of the matting. I toke it back and they said, no problem, no charge. They said a couple of days it will be done. 2weeks later - nothing. Went to the store and a girl who said she was filling in for the manager, (who got fired) said I will call you later today. 2 days later still nothing. Finally went in and it was done. Brought the frame home to re hang it. They moved the mounting brackets to the opposite end of the frame AND they were not even on the frame. I tried to hang the frame and it was on a 45 degree angle ! I will never go back there again,from now on I am going to Hobbly Lobby. I was told they do excellant work.
