Great inventory and very friendly staff. I almost always find everything I am looking for without having to take trips to other stores.

Great variety of cardstock, adhesive and supplies for stamping and paper crafts. Some painting supplies in the retail store. Clearance store has new additions regularly and artificial flowers and decorations. Staff are helpful and friendly.

I am and was *really* let down as this use to be my favorite place. They were all really friendly and sometime ago they hired a gruff, uncouth lady who talks about her customers issues ( previous sales or crazy customers.) Frankly, i felt she was in the wrong in the examples she laid out. When you asked her a question she was bothered by it, finally came to help and offered no real suggestion or help. If you are not happy to be there then don't work there. I would give it a one star if it was my first time but it isn't so I will split the difference between a 5 star (previously) and a 1 or even O star( past little while). I wasn't even offered a bag for all my items. She expected me to carry my items & chance something breaking?! Apparently they can no longer afford bags and the ones they have rip, so why bother asking?! What is happening to this once gem of a store? 3 other customers have told me the same thing & others roll their eyes! Please do something or you will lose more customers and I would hate to see you go. I am no longer a regular because I just don't like to feel like I am bothering someone with my business. I only go when she is not there or I know exactly what I want and I have no choice. I was afraid to even write this review because that lady is so rough and gruff, I would not want her to confront me or look at me like she speaks about her customers. I don't want her or anyone to ever lose their job but maybe a customer service refresher for the staff? A little hi & some help now and again? Please do something!

My favorite paper craft store in Ottawa

Great place for all your creative needs!

This review is for their warehouse(on the left when facing building)If you are into scrapbooking,stamps,making silk(and not) flower bouquets,need tiny details(clay pots,showels,figurines)to make pot fairy garden and much, much more this is definitely a place to attend. You will be VERY pleasantly surprised by prices and walk away with many treasures!

This place is AMAZING!!!!! Its every crafter's dream. The prices are almost too good to be true and the staff is friendly. the only downside is their hours kinda suck, they close Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and are quite limited in the days they do open so you have to plan your trip wisely, but its sooo worth it.

Dark, small selection, many products do not have a label or sign so that if you are not familiar with it you may be lost. Masks are neither required nor encouraged.

A lot of selection, great prices, and friendly staff. Can browse and take your time to look around in relative peace and quiet. Love this place !!!

I visit every time I am in Ottawa to stock up on supplies for scrapbook pages that I make for a childcare center. Staff are generous and kind and I would recommend stopping in.
