    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.

    DIY gift tag

    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.
