the lady there was so kind and she really helped me find the things I needed! also they always have little needohs if that's what your looking for lol! they mostly have the grovy globs and the glow in the dark grovy globs (Needoh) I have gotten 10 of those but 1 sadly popped it was probably from my nails tho lol not the stores fault. But one time I found a Needoh dreamdrop and a giant green spiral one! so the selection is definitely not limited I just think that they get the little Needohs the most! the little ones are only 3:99$ which I think is good giving the fact that I can find them anywhere lol so the value of them is good!! anyways that's all byeee!!! read more

Their hours are incorrect everywhere. They close at 7 and they have not been updated according to other reviews

I love this place!! They have the cutest stuff. It's a little expensive, but if you're willing to splurge a little it's a fun place to go.

Mandy is incredible. I have had to go into the store a couple times in the past few months for different events, and she is just the bees knees. She spent time with me showing different options and pricing, and also talked to me in depth about calligraphy and other services they offer. Every time I've gone into the store she is always in a good mood, so effervescent and kind. I'll definitely be back. I also had Paris ring me up, and she was kind and very friendly. Thank you - read more

One of the cutest place for all of your paper needs. This is like a specialized Michael's with a focus on paper and paper accessories: gift wrap, cards, stationery, pens, stickers, journals, calendars, etc! They even have tables with gift options for both men and women. The store is well organized, and the designs are so cute and adorable. They also take customized orders so you can have personalized notecards, stamps, you name it! Price is a little bit on the higher end, but I think it's worth the quality. I bought the Woodcut everyday stationery, and the design is gorgeous (even though they're just trunks). Definitely recommend coming here for your craft needs! read more

Hours are not clearly listed on Yelp, store window, or on Google. I stopped by on a Monday afternoon at 4:30pm - sign on window indicated store hours were until 7pm on Monday. Google indicates until 7pm. Yelp says 6pm. The store associate who was in the store when I stopped by on Monday at 4:30pm, merely pointed at the sign on the window behind locked doors (which, again, I reiterate, says 7pm on Mondays). Get your hours straight. It's incredibly frustrating for customers navigating rush hour traffic. read more

I love this store! We have one back home in Virginia also and my friend and I stopped in while shopping around Austin just to look and to find a last minute baby shower card. We browsed the cards, the decorative crafty stuff, and the wedding invitations for potential photo ops. If you're crafty at all they have pens, markers, gold tape, decorative tapes, decorative papers, stamps, foils, and dozens of other things you could use to your heart's content to make pretty paper things. If you aren't crafty - they can make them for you and you can just buy them. read more

I needed to make a return but I couldn't find my receipt. Seems like most businesses can look up the charge on your Visa card and make a return --but not this store. I live a long way away so a store gift card does me no good. I won't be back. read more

Update your store hours online. It's really bad business when people drive after work to come get a special gift and then the store is closed an hour earlier than what online says. read more

This place is wonderful! I spent an hour here today to shop for a planner for next year. I gave it quite a bit of thought (after all, I will be stuck with this planner for a whole year) and had a good look at all of the of the offerings. My review may be more applicable for people looking for a planner/ calendar, but I can testify to more general things as well, such as store set-up and staff. Stand-outs: 1) the staff is incredible -- they are very knowledgeable about all of the offerings, and notice the little things, without being pushy at all. I spent quite a long time around the calendar/planner, and a staff member noticed and pointed me towards other areas of the store that also offered planning-type materials but were not as obviously labeled. The items are also packaged, but they always leave an un-packaged item for you to flip through. I also liked a certain planner layout but didn't quite like the cover, and an employee knew exactly which other planners had the same internal layout but a different cover immediately (amazing! Don't know how she did that). 2) diversity -- I sound a little crazy here, but everyone has their preferences! Anyways: there is a huge diversity of items in the planning/calendar category: cover design, planner layout, binding type (spiral bound, glued binding), fonts, paper texture, academic vs. yearly layout. Huge selection! areas for improvement (not a lot, but I didn't give it five stars for reason) 1) display set-ups -- the store has a lot to offer, and as a result, their displays are quite stacked together tightly with a huge variety of items. You really have to be careful when reaching for a planner, for there is the danger of toppling precariously balanced and carefully curated displays. Some unsolicited advice: perhaps utilize more shelving so items are more stabilized within displays? read more

I've gotten two expensive gifts wrapped here and they have the best wrapping paper and services. It's pricey, but I can't say enough good things about this place. Kudos to Lily, Jolie, and one other girl whose name I didn't get for helping make my Dads gift special today. read more

I went in with my friends while we were in the area on my birthday, and the two ladies working were soooo nice. Had a great selection and overall added to my good day! read more

The staff is fairly meh, one of the girls doesn't wear a bra but DOES wear super thin shirts. If you need a lot of oddly-sized envelopes in one color, I'd recommend ordering them ahead of time, as we were in the market for 60 purple 3x5 envelopes but they only had 47. Whatevs, it's SUPER cute store I could spend an overly exorbitant amount of time in but I just feel like it's lacking something for the price of everything (a slightly cute but very cheap looking nail file was $5, gtfo). read more

We just moved here from San Francisco and I used to love Paper Source and the service there!! I called the store here in Austin in advance because I wanted to set an appointment for save the date cards. The person on the phone told me I can come in anytime to talk to someone and take some samples of my favorites home. I went to the store Saturday very excited and asked one girl for help, she just showed me where I can look for their save the dates and told me I can take pictures of them (there are no samples I was able to take home). I asked her some simple questions that she couldn´t answer until she finally said she usually doesn´t work on save the dates and walked away. I tried to find everything I need but really needed some help. The girl that helped me in the first place looked down when I walked up to her so I tried my luck with the other girl that was working. I asked her if I can add our engagement picture to a card and how that will work. She said that´s possible but would be more expensive and walked away. I asked for the information of the manager to set an appointment with her or him for the next time. But this was honestly the worst experience that I never want to go back. I rather fly to my store in San Francisco where everyone is kind, friendly, helpful and actually knows about their products. Thanks to many great pages online where I can actually order samples I don´t have to do that - at least for the save the date. read more

It's time for me to dust off this rusty keyboard and get back to reviewing! It's clear that I am one desk calendar away from becoming ridiculously obsessed with Paper Source. Everything in there is so cute that it's easy to convince yourself that you or someone in your life "needs" it! My apartment wouldn't be the same without that cute artsy calendar, my husband would probably love me more if I got him that funny card, and those stickers are cute--- I'll get them just in case I need them for something later. So if you are in the need of a new whatchamadoodle, some mustache paraphrenalia, stickers, cards, or a new coffee table book, check this place out! read more

Need gift wrap? A card? A random quirky gift? This is your place. Paper Source has all the cool, pretty things you are looking for at a premium price. If you don't want to schlep all over town in the traffic to find trendy gifts you can come to Paper Source and pay a little more to get everything in one place that has a parking lot. read more

I've had a bit of a craft addiction lately and the Paper Source has been the dealer that delivers! This Paper Source has a good selection of stamps, utensils, labels and scrapbooking paper. Also, the parking situation is pretty good and convenient for being so close to downtown. Everyone on the staff is really friendly and helpful, and they take their time to show me techniques. Also, when I bought the Silhouette digital cutter, they showed me the blog site where I can buy designs, even taking the time to show me the specific shapes I was looking for. read more

LOVE this place for the following reasons: 1. GREAT selection of items. 2. Super helpful (but not hovering) staff. 3. Convenient location (across from Whole Foods on Lamar). 4. Fair pricing. 5. Did I mention the staff is helpful? Went in on Saturday because I needed a reasonably priced solution for my baked bon bons - and fast - and left with a fun and beautiful packaging solution. I went in for advice... didn't dream they could provide me with a solution (and leads for wholesale pricing for future larger purchases) as well. These ladies rock. If you need any stationary, gift box ideas or cute gifts (anyone else obsessed with their tables that are filled with the cutest gift ideas ever?!)... go see them. read more

What a fun place. I did feel however the class was a bit rushed and manager kept coming around every 5 minutes to make sure the guy teaching the card making class was moving right along. Other than that it's a great place with a variety of everything. Check it out. read more

I love the paper source! If you love stationary, unique and pretty gift wrapping paper, and one of a kind greeting cards this is your place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the paper source! read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. Jeanne was basically my personal artistic advisor and together we spent 15 mins seeing what I should buy to craft the perfect gift. read more

I absolutely loved this place! I was in a bit of a bind and thank God for Mandy who solved my invitations problem! I had invitations made somewhere else and they were awful!! Mandy basically re-designed and created new ones using them and paper and other supplies from the store!! She stayed with me and re created everything! Thank you Mandy!!!! I had never been to this store but rest for sure, I will never go anywhere else!!!! They have anything you can imagine but most of all they have people like Mandy who are truly glad and willing to help!!! Mandy, you are creative, helpful, intelligent and you totally solved my awful mess!!! Thank you!! read more

Her "attention to detail", her suggestions, her fast work ethic and i love her creativity....all of those made paris stand way out!!!!!! PARIS = AWESOME! highly recommend using her!! read more

I am planning a wedding and have been to the paper source every weekend for the past 2 months! They are so friendly and helpful. I have appreciated all their guidance and advice. I am finished with my invitations, so now I am going to have to find a new reason to go in and visit! I highly recommend this store and their talented staff! read more

I ordered my wedding invitations here and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I also picked up a gift, some wedding decorations, rehearsal dinner invitations, and thank you cards. If you are looking for cute invitations or stationary, go here! read more

I really liked looking around this place. Lots to see and shop around. I spent about 45 minutes looking around and found it odd that none of the staff said a word to me (it's a rather small shop). They were busy talking to each other about something. I didn't end up buying anything, but I might go back. read more

Popped in to get a dainty card and envelope. The staff were friendly and store was full of wonderful items. Found what I was looking for and pricing was very reasonable for the excellent quality paper. read more

This paper is a paper lovers dream. I could have spent hours just looking at everything. They have tons of beautiful items and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I was even shocked that their was parking with it being down town. Can't wait to go back and give them lots more of my money. read more

Fabulous store with exotic eye-catching paper and wonderful craft classes! A hidden gem in Austin! SO happy to have the opportunity to express creativity ! Love your store!!. I give you hands down 5 stars!!! * * * * * read more

Friendly staff!! I plan to order invitation cards from there for future birthday party. Love their rubber stamp selection!!

I was having a hard time deciding on wedding invitations from just seeing pictures online, it seemed like way too big of a purchase to make through a website. The Paper Source had a dedicated employee sit down and go through every step with me and they even sent me 2 free proofs, which was handy after I changed my mind on the first font color. Very reasonable if you are mindful when choosing your invitations. Just be sure to make an appointment early, they booked up quickly. read more

Favorite place for card stock in Austin- some items not fully stocked but overall best I have found so far.

I moved to Austin 3 yrs. ago from South Texas. I happened to find The Paper Place as I was out "exploring" my new home! This shop had everything one could ever need from amazing variety of invitations to all the supplies needed to make your own! I have yet to stop by there and not see something that grabs my eye! But the BEST thing about this store are its employees! I have had repeatedly asked for Sarah because she has been extremely helpful in choosing invitations, and her attention to detail and follow-through is great! So glad to have found this shop!!! read more

While not the largest (or cheapest) craft shop in town, it has a fantastic variety of wonderful products to assist you in your paper crafting hobby. This place is only exceeded in excellence by its staff. I called to get info on a Silhouette Cameo and got not only polite, informative service, but a personal rapport as well. Though it was further away than several other hobby shops near my home, I was convinced to make the trip to visit their location. Once there, I received a demo on the machine I was looking for and enjoyed myself while browsing their store. These ladies were very warm, welcoming and engaging. The only real danger here is spending more than you should. I can't wait to go back! read more

First impressions online store looked promising so I went to check it out. From the outside the store I could tell that it was a cute and creative place. I walked in the door and was not greeted by anyone, tho I could see two ladies in the store. I walked around trying to find the paper I was looking for. They had many choices and a lot other creative things for making invitations and so on. I was in the store for about 20 minutes no one ever greeted me or asked if I needed help. I even walked out of the store to go get a drawer out of my car to compare colors. Was not told goodbye and when I returned again I was not greeted. When I came up to the register two ladies were behind the cash register and did not acknowledge me standing there while the one lady was checking someone out. The employees did not make me feel welcome or even care if I needed any help. I did like the items they had and the selection but customer service is everything. I give them a 0-star in customer service 4 in product selection. I would like to have seen more paper but they did have a great selection read more

is there such thing of loving the store and its wonderful products but really dislike the rude staff? i really love this store and it's wonderful products. there is times i just rather go online and pay the $7.00 shipping so i won't have to deal with the staff. i have been going to the paper source since i lived in chicago and then moved to Texas. the store keeps pretty empty, i wonder why? well it's a great store regardless. read more

My experience has been amazing with Paper Source. I ordered a Return Address Label Stamp from them for my wedding. I don't remember what it was that made me realize I made a minor, yet significant error. I flipped the last two digits of the apartment numbers around and created a nonexisting apartment number. I was well aware this was completely my fault, but thought I'd call and write the company anyways to see if there was anything that could be done. They were so nice. They went above and beyond necessary to make sure that I was a satisfied customer by letting me know that the product I ordered had already shipped, but they were creating a new one with correction, shipping it over night, and not even charging me for my mistake. I am so grateful. I almost cried because I knew my error was going to cost me on all the items I've ordered from various vendors. We are on a budget and to have a business do this...well, I'll simply say they have more than earned my business. I will use them again in the future and recommend them to others here and in the future. Thank you Paper Source. I appreciate you. read more

This store is VERY addicting!!! I left the store with a ton of amazing, fun items for a scrapbook. The staff was super friendly and I will be back soon. Great selection for unique paper items. read more

I love this store! They have a great selection of handmade greeting cards, paper of all sorts, packages of stationery, thank you cards, invitations, wrapping paper, and cute little gifts. I could spend a fortune in the store I love it so much! They also offer classes once a month-ish on card making and the like. The staff if very helpful too. I go almost once a week and there is always something new to find. This store is worth a look! read more

I really like this store. Great quality products. Helpful staff. You're not shopping here for discount pricing but if you want great products this is the spot. read more
