The newest addition to Hyde Park Village is the fabulous paperie, Paper Source, a haven for the creative fine-paper lovers. With a friendly, welcoming environment that can be felt from the moment you enter the door, and endless possibilities, even if you aren’t into paper crafts, you will walk out with a whirl of ideas and an itch to return.
Showcasing innumerous paper craft ideas, fun greeting cards, a colorful spectrum of envelopes that match you with your “colorscope,” a fun horoscope-esque chart of personalities, and impressive walls of exquisite domestic and hand-dyed imported paper with beautiful designs, it would be impossible not to fall in love with everything. The store also has fun crafts for kids, as well as an array of party and office supplies, and gift options such as their outstanding collection of hand-crafted journals.
The shop has all things paper-crafty, from creating and lining envelopes, making gorgeous rosette fans, finding paper for unique gift-wrapping, to creating stamps, stickers, and a whole Mod-Podge of fun.
For those who are craft-challenged, such as myself, or for those who just want to learn ways to up their craft game, Paper Source hosts workshops for teaching different skills. These workshops will be taught by an instructor, and will focus on a particular craft for the session, with a variety of workshops for different subjects. Their upcoming workshop is on making invitation envelopes and will be held July 18 for $20. Private parties are also available for groups of four or more who are interested in a particular craft kit. Paper Source is at Hyde Park Village, 714 S. Village Circle, Tampa.
