Paper – Always-In-Demand Stationery Product

Just close your eyes and imagine the world without paper. It is then you’ll understand its actual value and importance. In fact, the invention of paper marks a milestone in every other progress and improvement known to man. 

All of these made me think how important paper has become for me too. I've been using notepads and paper slips to record ideas for years, but recently I've begun to use paper as an integral part of my design process. There is a wide variety of paper available that comes in different sizes, several colors, textures and grades. Some of those papers, without which my design process is incomplete are - onion skin paper and metallic paper.

Onion skin paper is a thin and lightweight, but strong and durable paper. Onion skin paper is an almost translucent paper and crisp to the touch like the outer skins of an onion, hence the name. I've completed some of the teeny-tiny projects like making beautiful Primulas, hollow-petal flowers as well as creating swan and little pigs. I had great fun working on these projects.

Metallic paper: The paper comes with a glossy finish and unique metallic appearance, as well as the prints I get on this paper have extra visual interest and depth. In fact, I had made an album using onion skin paper and added photos that I've taken on an ultra-bright background of metallic paper.

The paper has always been playing an important part to man's success in all of its endeavors. It has versatile uses; whether it is in school or in office, papers are an integral part of our various tasks. Previously, we need to visit the store in person to buy these items, but nowadays you can get those at a single click of your mouse as there a number of school supplies available online. Under classroom supplies you’ll get assortment of paper products that are vibrant in color, texture, shape and strength suitable for different jobs and purposes. So, what are you waiting for, source these paper products online now!

Decorative Paper Craft Ideas

I used to enjoy paper crafts in my childhood. And, I believe crafts are the perfect playground for self-growth and learning to love yourself. There are so many things I can create from a few pieces of colorful paper, glossy paper, parchment paper or card stock. I can even make thank you cards, place cards and many more things that you can’t even think of, using these decorative papers. Instead of going out and spending money on such expensive an stuff to gift someone, I like making it myself.


● Making homemade thank you cards is easy and is a creative way to give a thoughtful gift that is a personal expression. I had created a thank you card using colorful glossy paper, decorated its front with pictures, stickers and glitter glue. To add a personalized touch to the card, I added a picture of the recipient. Lastly, on the bottom center of the back I wrote "Made with love for you". This way, I created my beautiful homemade thank you cards.

● I also made a place card. For this, I had used small strips of colored paper and adorned it with personalized photos and attached the strip to the decorative string using paper clips. Alternatively, for more embellishment, I tied those strings to apple stems.

● Now, you not gonna believe this, I made cookies out of decorative paper. This is not just any paper, it is parchment paper. Baking and decorating beautiful cakes using parchment paper are easy. It has other incredible uses too, like for gift wrapping, for sifting flour onto and food styling.

This way, have fun with wealth of available materials, create something pretty, and most importantly feel good about yourself in the process. I don’t have to roam here and there to get such paper products. By scouring school supplies online, I get all the snazzy stuff at my doorstep.

Get Key Things in Back To School Supplies


It’s the time for schools to start and I am sure the list of back to school supplies is increasing by the day. 

The attractive back to school supplies bring the wave of excitement in little ones. Because, this is the time when they get all brand new things to start their new academic session. Most probably, during the first week of school, every teacher provides a list of teacher school supplies needed for each class. Whether, its teacher school supplies or classroom supplies; all the essentials are the things that are needed in the classroom to help your child to learn.

At times, it happens, when children go on shopping with their parents and buy all the cool stuff that is not really needed. So, you should try getting only what they need for the classes, instead of purchasing the fad items. Following are the essential back to school supplies for elementary students:

- School bag: A school bag is probably your best choice, because children have to lug many heavy textbooks to and from school, and the weight is distributed more evenly when carrying it. Most importantly, it’ll help your child stay organized. 

- Paper: There are a variety of papers available that will be needed for classroom or can be used for personal use. One of them includes 11 x 17 paper, which is a smooth finished fiber textured paper, but with a thicker weight. 11x17 paper is great for a wide array of uses; examples are color coding, flyers, greeting cards, and product bulletins.

- Leather bound journals: These are an important way for children which can help them to organize their homework and schoolwork material. Leather bound journals serve great use like they are great for keeping to-do lists and organize task fashionably.

Apart from all this, school uniform, lunch box, pencil box are also necessary back to school supplies that you should shop for. So, get the right school supplies in order to your child's chances for success.

Give Our Planet A Reprieve - Use Recycled Paper More!


The words RDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE are in the air these days! 

Why there is such an emphasis on product recycling nowadays? Why should we recycle used materials? 

There are many good reasons to recycle, because the more we recycle the less volume of material will be needed to manufacture. In fact, recycling is of great support for both the economy and the environment. The most obvious benefit of recycling is its progressive impact on the environment. More the materials will be reused and recycled, less will be the adverse effect on our environment.

Though recycling has caught fire around the world that leads to filling up the recycle bins with plastic, paper, bottles and containers; we still don't seem to be recycling as much paper as we should. I speculate this is because, it's just so dam easy to crumple up into a ball, toss and forget about.

Why not to use recycled paper? This paper prints, looks and even smells good. Also, recycled papers work well in laser printers, and helps solve our problems related to solid waste. Plus, you can feel good about using them, because it saves our forest resources, saves energy, and helps prolong the life of our overloaded landfills. Hence to support this idea, Jam Paper and Envelope has introduced a wide collection of recycled paper in their pre-existing collection of metallic paper.

On the other hand, we need stationery products like leather bound journal, onion skin paper and many more for our official work. But then again, using these items in recycled form for various documentation purposes can help you go green in your work culture. In this way, you can create an eco-friendly social as well as professional environment.

So, give our lovely planet a reprieve. Recycle more!!!

My School Themed Wedding Ideas


For every one of us wedding is really a big day with lots of joyous and life altering activities. Even for the most cool-headed brides-to-be, planning a perfect wedding day is a big task. A wedding theme can be a fun reflection of the personalities of a couple or it can be elegant and classic. And, as a teacher, I am very much inspired by my school therefore, I planned my wedding on school theme. This theme ties in sharpened pencil, thank you card, globe, chalkboard and my personal favorite teacher school supplies. Nothing beats the excitement of preparing and organizing for that big day. 

I wanted my wedding ceremony to be more beautiful and extraordinary. For my wedding-to-be’s school theme, I exclusively focused for the decoration, which included decoration for the reception, proper seating arrangement for guests, return gifts for guests, flowers that wedding favors. So, I immediately scoured for school supplies online, where I not only got loads of products, but also loads of creative ideas for my school-themed wedding. I headed for my work.

Using back to school supplies and teacher school supplies I made various items. Place cards was one of them. To get the perfect appeal of a school theme to the place card, I used mini chalkboards with guests’ names printed with white chalk. I spent maximum of my time in adding the thoughts to each guest’s name. 

When I am talking about guest, how can I forget return gifts for them? There are many ways to show the quests that they mean a lot to us. Since the ceremony is attended by the people you love and who love you, thank you card is a simple yet touching way to express your love and consideration towards your family, friends and relatives. And, as thank you card is a cornerstone of etiquette, what else can be the best return gift. Lastly, to surprise my would-be-hubby, I made wedding cake by my own, using parchment paper. There are so many things I love about this beautiful wedding: the venue, the seating arrangement, the darling school theme…the list is too long to mention.

So, if you are a teacher, high school sweetheart or just love this school-themed wedding idea, go with this theme for your wedding ceremony. Enjoy!

So, airmail paper is a good option as these are lightweight, high opacity thin paper and good for quality printing/ writing type papers to be sent by airmail. Similarly, for various legal purposes like loans, mortgages and other legal matters I use legal size paper. These papers are first set of communication with business associates and clients.

At times, I am in need of school stationery also. Now, you may wonder why a business correspondent would need school stationery  Well, well, how can you say so? As we are very much aware, whether its school or business, school stationery is the most essential and versatile stuff we all require. Pen, pencil, paper, staple, notepad, hole-puncher, marker, paper pin, bright paper,,, ooph.........the list goes on. There are plethora of school stationery that we use in our daily routine. Although, these are not big things, these teeny tiny stuffs play a very pivotal role in our lives. So, whenever I am in need of such supplies I start scoring for school supplies online.
