Add A Little Markle Sparkle To Handwritten Letters and Invites
In honor of National Letter Writing Month, we’re putting the spotlight on the beauty of a handwritten letter. When you take the time to craft a handwritten letter, the recipient feels special and loved, something that royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle agrees with.
As you might have read in a recent People magazine article, Markle was once part of the Paper Source family, working as a calligrapher at our Beverly Hills location from 2004-2005. Markle’s love for a nice handwritten letter, and her impeccable penmanship, made her a perfect fit for the job.

DIY Personalized Stationery with Guest Blogger Nicole L. of Probably Polka Dots
I am a paper fanatic, and something tells me that if you love Paper Source as much as I do, you might be, too. I pick up cards just about everywhere I go, and I am always searching for the best stationery I can get my hands on. Of course, my favorite paper finds are the one that are unique. I love the thrill of finding notecards that I know no one else has seen before. There’s something about sending unique stationery in the mail that seems so much more personal, too.

DIY Stationery Center with Guest Blogger Rebecca G. from Not-So-SAHM
A stationery center for our kids is one of the projects that has sat atop my “DIY To Do” list for quite a while (the list is loooong). Now that the kids are both old enough to do much of their own writing (even though many of their spellings are quite creative), I thought it was about time to get it together. Teaching kids to create their own correspondence is a great way to help them develop academically, work on practical skills, and create a nice family tradition. Read More

Stationery Reboot: Turbo Charge Your Correspondence
The idea of a world without hand-written letters is too tragic to contemplate.
Don’t get me wrong – I feel a physical need to have my phone on me at all times so I can dash off a quick text or email. But there is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you see a hand-addressed envelope waiting for you in your mailbox, between the coupon booklets and fliers for car repair shops in your area.
But, if you are going to take time to put pen to paper, you want the recipient to cherish that gift— not toss it in the garbage can! You want to make it to the refrigerator or mantle! So, why not upgrade your stationery set with some unique embellishments that will elevate your letter to keepsake status?
The boring old letter stops here.
Envelope liners
What makes the iconic Louboutin pump so recognizable? Their lipstick-red bottoms of course! Use that little secret splash of color as your inspiration for note-worthy notes and include a liner of fine paper inside your envelopes! You can dress up everyday envelopes with festive holiday paper for a sweet seasonal surprise. Or, choose fresh new patterns that really enhance the experience for your friend, family member or pen pal.
