1. Woodland Inspiration

    Whether you prefer the simplicity of wood accents or the quirky cuteness of our fox, hedgehog and owl designs, it is clear that fall is full of woodland inspiration. Even our associates have been inspired by the sights and textures of the wilderness.

    Tiffany K. of the Paper Source Invitations Department fell in love with the Paper Source Fox and Hedgehog designs, and found an adorable way to tie in natural fibers like burlap and jute. Using solid paper, Tiffany created an adorable fox gift tag, which perfectly accents this Faux Bois wrapping paper.

    Kelly, who once helped drive creativity in Paper Source stores, gave us loads of party ideas for kids when she shared two of her latest creations. Words hardly do these celebrations justice, so we asked Kelly to tell her story the best way she knows how… through photographs!

    Enjoy!
