Shop Canadian stationery by paper type

Different projects call for different paper, so it helps to browse by what you're making.

• Art Noise offers Clairefontaine Maya cardstock, a heavyweight art paper for drawing and mixed media.
• Nobel carries pure mulberry paper roll sets, a lovely choice for collage, craft, and fine art.
• Ecstasy Crafts stocks themed paper pads in a generous 12x12 size for scrapbooking and card making.

Each option gives you a different weight and texture, so you can match the paper to the project.

Notebooks & journals

From lined journals for daily reflection to dot-grid notebooks built for bullet journaling, Canadian makers craft stationery that balances thoughtful design with everyday durability. Look for lay-flat bindings, recycled paper stocks, and cover art from independent Canadian illustrators — the kind of considered details that reflect the care small-batch makers put into every piece.

Stickers & decals

Canadian sticker artists bring personality to laptops, water bottles, planners, and packaging. Our collection features waterproof vinyl decals, holographic designs, and hand-drawn illustration packs from studios like Four Bears Sticker Club. Many are printed in small batches, so favourite designs rotate with the seasons.

Greeting cards & paper goods

Canadian greeting card designers create cards for birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, and milestones with original artwork and locally sourced cardstock. You will find bilingual options, eco-friendly packaging, and designs that reflect Canadian humour and culture — because a card should feel like it came from someone who gets it.

Planners & agendas

Canadian-designed planners range from undated weekly layouts to academic agendas sized for the September-to-June school calendar. Many feature Canadian holidays pre-printed, recycled or FSC-certified paper, and binding designed to survive a full year in your bag. Pair them with sticker sets and notepad covers from the same collection.

What to look for when choosing Canadian stationery

Paper quality matters more than packaging. Look for notebooks and journals that specify their paper weight (80 gsm and above handles most fountain pens and markers without bleed-through) and binding style (lay-flat spiral or thread-sewn bindings last longer than glued spines). For stickers and decals, waterproof vinyl holds up on water bottles and laptops where paper-based stickers peel within weeks. Greeting cards printed on recycled or FSC-certified cardstock are a good sign that the maker is thinking beyond the design. And for planners, check whether the layout matches your actual workflow — weekly spreads suit most people, but monthly-at-a-glance works better if you plan in longer arcs.
