I had to get something printed in black ink and they were actually able to do it on the spot as they had the paper in stock and they were not too busy at the time. After 20 mins I was able to get my printed material. Sweet! I love not having to come back. It was nice of them to offer to print it on the spot for me. I dealt with Eva (the owner) and Margaret who was very nice and got it all done very efficiently. I really love their Stardream/Curious papers. It's a shimmer metallic and looks amazing on everything. Hope to upload a photo of the finished product soon.

They turned out so much nicer than those standard ones on wedding websites. It's one of my favourite items from my wedding. Designing and ordering is quick and easy. I recommend you go to the shop and they can help you and also calculate all the costs for you. It's not cheap but it's very affordable and a better deal than anywhere else. My product turned out elegant and luxurious.

Conveniently located at Hwy 7 & Woodbine (across from Costco), Pointers is a Canadian scrapbooking,…read morestamps and card making store. They have a large retail & online scrapbooking and stamping store featuring many scrapbook and stamp products - w/ tons of different papers, stamps, cardstock, inks, etc. I can easily spend over $100 if I don't stop myself... The store offers many classes throughout the month (jewelry, scrapbooking, great impression cards, etc.) . I especially enjoy Florence's 10 cards in 3 hours class. *Hint: come 15 mins prior to class, do the glueing at home & only finish the essentials in class or you will never leave! Also 15% off on all items you purchase the day you take a class. The store also make gift baskets for all occasions & custom wedding invitations. Pointer also has a reward card program. Everytime you purchase an item you will be able to accumulate & earn $25 reward in products. I joined their VIP Club as I purchased much of my card making items from them. The annual fee is $25. So what do you get?... - 10% off all purchases - 20 % off one entire purchase during birthday month - two friday night crops free - take 3 classes and get one free - special coupon every month (sometimes there are 40% off coupons) - VIP member specials on special events. My fav product from the store would prob. be the Zip Dry Paper Glue. Perfect for paper crafts as the glue will not cause your paper to wrinkle. Stock up if you are an avid scrap/card maker. Lots of parking at the back.

Stop me from coming here. Seriously. I cannot spend more money on craft stuff I don't use!!!…read more Pointers is a scrap booking and paper crafts store and more. They have a lot of variety and choice on papers, stamps, everything. It's a little hard to find when you're not actively looking for it, but it's in a pocket plaza on the side. Working at Michaels, I do quite a few comparisons while shopping at both. - Michaels is a lot more expensive when not using a coupon, while Pointers offers good and affordable deals. There's also a clearance/sales section that is super cool. - Michaels only offers the big name brands and their own line of products. I find that Pointers has a lot more variety in stamps and everything related to scrapbooking - While Michaels is not super modern, I do find that Pointers offers more traditional and "classic" products. Not knocking it down, but I do not like ugly illustrations with curly type that says "you're brighter than a star" on my stamps (I made that one up, but I'm pretty sure I can find something similar to that) I did a lot of comparisons, but I think it is a good way to illustrate that Pointers is an amazing place. I frequently recommend customers here when they can't find what they're looking for at our store. Service is very nice and I notice that they have a lot of classes and loyal customers. Definitely recommended for all your scrapbooking needs.

With most…read moreof the Queen West stores just stuffed with bolts and bolts of fabric, and (my beloved) Fabricland being fairly far out of my way and only carrying the Big Four patterns, The Workroom is a lovely alternative, with a good selection of indie patterns and curated designer fabric selections. The staff are generally friendly and knowledgeable. My only "complaint", which isn't really a complaint, is that it's quite expensive compared to the alternatives. I recognize that this is a small business and they need to make money, and stock independent pattern companies and more unique fabrics...but I just find that even with their sale weekends and promotions such as "spend x and get y percentage off", the savings are rarely significant enough for me to actually participate.

Makes no sense but I WAS IN MY ELEMENT! Lots of fabric and sewing accoutrements (I was accompanying someone today ... I don't sew but their selection was extensive). Prices are very reasonable. They'll sell small amounts as little as half a yard. Their silk selection was huge as was the linen. Lots of houndstooth, Prince of Wales checked design, and Tweedy looking fabrics.

So during our exhaustive search to figure out how we were going to do our wedding invitations, we…read morewent to designers, Paper Place, other crafts stores, and eventually we have decided to do what I originally had set out to avoid. DIY. A friend of mine introduced me to Spicers (formally known as Coast Paper). The address takes you directly to their warehouse. Turns out they supply a lot of printing companies and designers with paper - well here's the source! And they have a Cash and Carry where you can come and and buy it yourself (without the markup). It ended up becoming 70% cheaper. I mean, we're looking at $900 (from a top Toronto designer) to $300 (including printing and paper), where we've designed our own with the help of a friend, and printing at TPH. Assembly was always going to be a group effort anyway. When you first walk in there, the entrance is on the side of where the docks are. Turn left and you're in this room that looks empty. They have pages upon pages of different suppliers and brands. You'll be overwhelmed. I also found the guy a bit curt and intimidating - but turns out he just is high strung and more than willing to help. We flipped through some books, but had no clue, basically just asked him for card stock and white paper for invitations. He's worked with so many designers, that he will give good quality choices at a good price. So my suggestion is to go there with an idea of colour and weight for what you want. Be sure to also ask for samples, he gave me a few sheets for free! We took it back, and after finalizing on numbers, I went back to order the paper (you can also do this on the phone). The paper we got was some nice cardstock coming in 28" x 40" sheets at $1.50 each (compare to some other places at $3 each). We also got some ivory linen (to paste on the inside) for around the same price for a big sheet. They also sell envelopes of different weight and textures. We got a fancy one at $40 for 250. They also will cut for you at a fixed cost $25 and he'll add $5 for each additional type of paper/cut. (We have to cut it down for the printers) Upon my 2nd visit, he was much nicer and joked around that my invitations now have cost me $1.80 each including printing, and that any designer out there will charge about $6 a piece. He has a point. I would recommend going this way for anyone looking for a cheap way to do their invitations and have some sort of design sense.

This store is great for scrapbooking products because they have aisles upon aisles of stickers to add to your collection. They also have tons of baking supplies (mostly Wilton products) that will be more than sufficient to aid you in your baking hobby. What I don't like about Michaels is that their merchandises are pretty expensive. Make sure to have a 40% or 50% off coupon when you want to buy something. This coupon helps make their merchandises more affordable. What I do like is that they offer cake decorating classes during the week for really cheap. I completed two of their Wilton cake decorating classes for about $20 each. The reason why I deducted one star is due to the slow customer service at the cash registers. Lines can get pretty long when there are only two registers open. They need to open up at least another register to get the lines moving faster.
