I love this store, and having been away from Bohlder for a while, I missed how great it is for someone like me who likes to write and communicate using the written word. Thanks to Megaera for her great help on my most-recent visit! She was diligent with her help, and it made a difference. They have an amazing selection of journals, notebooks, cards, writing elements, and binders. Great pricing, elite assistance. read more

10/7/26 I just went in after rushing over from work at 5:35pm and arrived at 5:52pm to grab a restock of craft tissue paper and was told not once but 5 times that they were closing and closed. 4 times once from each worker and twice by one. It was 5:57pm. I knew exactly what I wanted and was perusing to see if there was anything new with the knowledge that they close at 6. I understand at the end of a long work day people want to get home. Good customer service would be to make sure I found what I needed so that they still make a sale and have a happy customer. I love this store so the service tonight was quite disappointing and I ended up leaving with nothing because I was so let down by the constant reminders for me to leave because they were closing and closed. read more

Two Hands Paperie - Be courteous - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Generally rude pretentious type place. Won't let you throw away a tiny little paper cup in their trash bin type of place. Literally walked me outside and pointed a block away to a public trash can for a tiny little paper cup. Lol. read more

Best greeting cards around at Two Hands. Fun store to browse and buy. I find beautiful creative intelligent greeting cards here that I've seen nowhere else. And they keep updating their collection. Also neat art, stationery and art items. read more

Such a great collection of papers, pens, and other related materials. Friendly staff, old school art store vibe. Great shop!

One of the cutest stores on Pearl street. They have amazing quality paper and pens, notebooks, wall paper, cards, and other stationary. Everything is pretty pricey but is amazing quality.

Two Hands Paperie - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Wonderful, eclectic collection of cards, wrapping and art papers, art supplies, art books, puzzles, and gift items. Always a great place to explore if you're looking for a high quality gift idea for a friend who has artistic leanings. We were delighted to find boxes of retro holiday cards to support our old--fashioned habit of mailing cards. At the west end of Pearl, definitely worth a stop. read more

Love, love this shop. If you love cards, paper, writing implements, puzzles etc you will love this shop! Lots of great gifts ideas. Great staff, too! read more

Oh my, I love this store! We stopped in during our day in Boulder. I picked up holiday cards, a card game, and a couple notebooks. I could spend hours perusing their selection of cards, posters, calendars, notebooks, planners, and so much more. Their selection makes this place ideal for gifts. I saw a few things I earmarked for the holidays. You can shop online too, which I appreciate as an out-of-towner. They feature several of my favorite brands like Rifle Paper and Co, Cavallini, Field Notes, and more. It's definitely worth a visit to browse their amazing selection. Everyone loves a hand-written card, don't they? read more

10/10 store, staff, and variety of products. I love that they have one of most of their products open so you can test them out yourself. I always go in for one thing and always leave with a handful of stationary:) read more

Love it! Love it! Love it! All the craft papers I have been "dying" to get is in this store! With friendly staff and their willingness to go that extra mile to assist you, what more can you ask. Indeed I am so awed by this place which have tiny notebooks, stationeries that I love to have. read more

I loved this store. The staff were quite helpful, friendly, knew their product and went out if their way (looking through shelved stock!) to help you find the perfect set of stationary for a loved one. I spent quite a bit of money here on products that had been on my wishlist for some time but hadn't bought other places (looking at you giant Maruman spiral - #LOVE) and didn't bat an eye because the experience was so positive. Also, they carried some uncommon products like a mini Italian wallet that I have been carrying around since my last trip to Rome 4 years ago and have been kicking myself for not purchasing more of! Lots of interesting books and specialty papers, Some interesting watercolor collections , a few Japanese stationary collections, Blackwing pencils and a fairly standard selection of fountain and ballpoint pens at regular retail rates (Conklin, Lamy, Kaweco, etc). I had a great time, prices were average for a stationary store and anyone can come in and find something to delight themselves in. At the time I visited this was one of the few stores open with carefully limited guests during the pandemic season when I visited December 2020. read more

Needed cute pink paper for a baby shower and found exactly what I envisioned in my head. And it was made from recycled t-shirts! Cute with a conscious. read more

Decent and very pleasant experience shopping here. I am a fountain pen fanatic and they have a decent selection of pens and ink. What they really excel at are things to write upon. Notebooks, tablets... a really nice selection. Wrapping paper is pretty substantial and special as well. Highly recommended stop just west of the Boulder Mall. read more

This store is heaven for any stationary/planner lover! There's a little something for everyone: cards, journals, paper, fountain pens, inks The staff were so helpful and I wish I could've stayed there forever and ever. read more

I always feel bad going into a store like this. So great to look and feel and touch and stare, but I never end up buying anything. I especially had an eye on the flower-decorated journals They do have really nice papers and homemade paper cards that are slightly more expensive than your generic Hallmarks but worth it. I promise, I'll buy something next time! read more

I'm in love! I'm like a kid in a candy store. Wax dripping stuff with the cutest letter stamps, rubber stamps, carving tools, ribbon, books, everything you would need to make your own books, paints and pencils and pens and :::drumroll::: PAPER! Plus they have really nice people with creative, knowledgeable brains and they are happy to share their expertise so you are set up for your project with everything from the tools to the PAPER! AND they offer classes for a deeper dive into all things crafty with papel... papier...papir... zhî... any way you say it: PAPER! read more

Ordered online from this company on Tuesday and paid via PayPal. No confirmation that they received my payment. Left a voicemail and sent email, but no response as to when product will be shipped. Will never order from this company again. read more

Very cute boutique that is perfect for the artist, the writer, or any creative type, really. I could potentially spend hours in here scouring all of their goodies--pencils, candles, journals, specialty paper, gift items, fancy pens, beautiful cards, specialty art supplies, and unicorn snot. (Shimmery sunscreen.) Basically, this store has everything that I want to own but know I would never do anything with. They offer classes on a regular basis, which I haven't tried yet, as I don't live in Boulder anymore. The price point of everything can be on the high side, but that's what you'd expect from an artisanal specialty boutique. A lot of their items you could get on the-site-that-shall-not-be-named for cheaper, but I can't stick my nose in a candle on that site (yet), can I? I'm also not devious or patient enough to "try out" stuff in the store and then buy it online, and I suspect you aren't either. So it's people like us who will keep this shop alive and well. read more

This place is pretty amazing. They have a huge selection of textured and fibrous hand made papers as well as distinctive printed patterns on sheets that are wonderful for art projects or to use as wrapping paper that is just as unique and distinctive as the person you're treating to a present. Inspired thank you card sets to accompany that gift are also available near the front desk. The staff has been knowledgeable and outgoing, answering questions about the beautiful ink pens in the front window, the sealing wax and rubber stamping accoutrements in back, and of course, the myriad papers throughout. If you find yourself on the Pearl Street mall, it's worth walking a couple extra blocks at the west end to see this place, and if somehow my review isn't quite enough to spur your motivation, remember you can always stop by Boulder's amazing chocolatiers at Piece, Love, and Chocolate next door. Something for everyone! Working down the street, I find myself visiting both with great frequency. read more

I needed to order a last minute Cavallini & Co Journal for a Christmas gift, and was too late to ship from Paper Source... and Two Hand Paperie came up in my search. I wasn't sure if I should order from a shop I wasn't familiar with in Boulder, CO especially when I live in California. But, I went for it. I called the store and spoke with Mia. What a delight! She assured me of the date it would ship and when I could expect the package to arrive, and she came through! It was professionally shipped and the item I ordered arrived in perfect gift-ready condition. I will definitely check here first ALWAYS before ordering in the future for my paper and stationary products, etc. Thank you Two Hands Paperie! read more

The cutest shop! Also love that they're practicing safe COVID protocols by limiting the amount of people in the store. Such a great selection of craft supplies and gifts. Really loved my experience here! read more

Cute local shop with an assortment of stationary needs! We always get cards and cute little gifts from this shop when we can, they're very friendly and helpful and you can always find something you never knew ya needed! read more

This store has the bones to be 5 stars, but like others have noticed there is a HUGE lack in polite, helpful staff. Girl in front of store never came out from behind the counter- gossiping with friend standing in front of counter- no way to approach for help. Girl in back room of store didn't seem to know if she should try and help those people or go cover for front of store fluffet. Really just spent her time staring at people in back then people in front. Repeat uncomfortably. I've been in this store MANY times, including today, and every time the service is rude and unprofessional. Unfortunate. read more

Paper products. Check. Local, quirky, cute, and irresistible. Check. Various knickknacks (stamps! letter wax! planners! Small, strange figurines!). Check. I do heart stationary, letter writing tools, stamps, and anything of that group. After passing by this cute, little store multiple times, I finally ventured inside and I wanted EVERYTHING. I just about felt my imagination growing wings and twittering around excitedly. "See! With that, you'd finally be able to write so-and-so. And with this here, you can hand-craft a super special birthday card!" Like, woah, self. Calm down. I like that there are local items. I liked the window decor. I liked the assortment of envelopes and paper (but I always do). I just liked it all. Until next time, Two Hands. read more

Went in looking for a calligraphy pen, because this a paper store and carries items pertaining to paper crafts. When I asked a woman in the back of store who asked if we were looking for anything in particular, she promptly responded "we are not an art store". I was taken aback by her rudeness and lack of customer service. The I noticed on the wall behind me there were stickers, stamps, pencils, etc. So I ignored her rude attitude and continued walking through the store. And then in a case by the door I saw calligraphy pens and ink. This woman was terribly rude and I will not be returning to this store anytime soon. Stay away and shop at Pass The Envelope Please a few blocks east on Pearl St. read more

Love, love, love this place. Beautiful paper, pens, cards and many more things. Great books and magazines. Let your inner child play This is a wonderful place for your artist date. Try one of their classes. Very friendly, helpful and creative people. read more

I could have easily impulse-bought every item in that store. Hands down my personal heaven. The products are gorgeous! Everything I've ever wanted and more--stationery sets, beautiful boxes of blank cards and postcards, trinkets and games. And the books! The book selection is amazing. Alas, at the end of about an hour and a half in this store, touching and admiring everything in sight, all I wanted was a pen from the front counter. I tried to pay with a card and the woman asked incredulously if I had any cash, not even mentioning the card minimum so I could have a bit of purpose to buy one of the things I'd been drooling over while shopping. Cut and dry-- "Don't you have any cash?" Totally unhelpful staff all around. Instead of buying the pen plus about a million other things I loved but certainly didn't need, I gave it back and walked out. It's interesting how important a smile and a helpful word can be in sealing the deal. It almost makes me want to get another job in retail so I can try to spread a little joy to disgruntled off-the-clock workers shopping in my store. It doesn't take much! SMILE! You work in a beautiful place, surrounded by inspired products and people full of life and creativity. read more

I popped into this shop in search of a journal that I could transform into my planner for the upcoming school year. Their selection of journals and pens is phenomenal, and the prices are not going to break the bank. read more

I do love paper. Fancy, delightful, pretty, fun to touch paper...Two hands paperie has been fulfilling my need for super fun crafty papers for many years. Most times driving to Boulder just to go here! There selection in unmatched. Plus they carry many other awesome paper related crafting supplies such as books, cards, ribbon, invitations and some of the best glues! I highly recommend Coccoina Italian Glue it is the best! The staff is also super helpful and I know they used to have classes held there for various art/craft activities. read more

This is a wonderful little store in many ways, and is excellent, I imagine, for scrapbookers and journal lovers. They are certainly a wonderful resource for paper and journals, and the customer service was good. That said, on durable goods like pens, although their selection is good, their prices are very high, even relative to other Denver and Boulder area merchants, and nearly silly compared to online merchants. Note that their inks are still competitively priced So, it's a great place to window shop, and a good, local place to buy consumables like paper, journals or ink, and as a local business, they deserve that much support at least. That said, until they lower their prices on pens into a more competitive realm, make sure you walk in knowing what other retailers (Meininger's, Guirys, Paradise, or even Amazon) are charging. Because at the end of the day, "bought from a quirky shop" simply isn't worth paying 25%+ extra alongside Boulder tax. read more

I ordered my wedding invitations through two hand paperie and I couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Mia and her team were so gracious, responsive, and focused on the details! My invitation set is more beautiful than I could have hoped for. Plus visiting their store is such a lovely experience. So many gorgeous paper products! Thanks again Two Hands Paperie! read more

Awesome Boulder, Colorado based paper and paper related products store. Took a friend of mine from Switzerland there to get a gift for his daughter and we were very impressed with the kids section :) We also got the birth announcement cards for both of our kids there. Looks like they just released their schedule of educational classes and workshops: http://www.prweb.com/releases/Two-Hands-Paperie-Classes/Events-Decorative-Papers/prweb11080348.htm read more

Fantastic for novel gifts and gift wrapping. Had a birthday gift wrapped for my wife and they did a great job.

This shop is a great place to find not only unique paper goods, journals, notebooks, cards but also a fun selection of arts & crafts books, mechanical pencils, fountain pens. read more

I found this place while wondering around Pearl Street. It is definitely worth the extra 2-3 blocks west. They have a wide selection of stationary and beautiful journals and papers. They have have letterpress supplies and offer fun classes throughout the year. My only complaint is the classes are a little pricey. read more

What an amazing find!!! This is the only fountain pen store advertised in Boulder. I have known about it for months but their website shows a very limited selection. Tonight I stumbled across them and the lights were on. To my surprise they were open late so I said why not. I was very impressed with their pen selection. Specifically, they have way more fountain pen brands than their website advertises: Pilot, Esterbrook, Conklin, Pelikan, to name a few. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I had a great experience, left with only one pen knowing I'll be back for the rest. This made my trip. ;) read more
