More than just paper

At Pause in Paper, everything starts with a simple piece of paper...

Hi, I'm Faye, and my love for paper began long before I even realized it. As a child, I practiced Chinese calligraphy before I could read every character. I spent weekends learning sketching and gouache painting, and throughout my school years, I was endlessly in love with colourful stationery. Pens, notebooks, sticky notes, I could never have enough. They were the joyful part of my learning journey.

Fast forward to today, I’m a mom of two curious, creative little ones. Together, we’ve explored a world of crafts: from handmade cake toppers and birthday setups to sticker-making, junk journaling, wall art, and die-cut greeting cards.

One day, I realized, no matter how far I explored the creative world, my passion always came back to paper.

The texture, the warmth, the calm that paper brings, and the way it holds imagination and memory, it's something no screen can ever replace. Whether we're painting, stamping, cutting, layering, or simply writing a heartfelt note, paper is always the medium of it all.

Pause in Paper was born from that passion. Our shop is a curated space filled with specialty papers, artful designs, and unique textures that spark creativity and bring joy to anyone who loves making something by hand.

Whether you're scrapbooking, crafting a card, wrapping a gift, or simply pausing for a moment of creativity in your busy day, we hope our paper brings you joy, connection, and endless inspiration.

Thank you for pausing here, with us.
