Paste n' Paper

Paste n' Paper Hand bound journals, art pieces & handmade stationery, all enhanced by beautiful artisan paper.

Founded in 2014, Rice Paper Designs started by selling origami cards and ornaments at local craft shows. Over time, the business has evolved and expanded to include other forms of paper art, including paper cutting, book binding, and box making. Based out of Ottawa, Ontario, Rice Paper Designs slow makes items that can be treasured, saved, and used for generations. This means using traditional techniques that have been taught for decades, along with carefully considered materials.

This custom journal was really special. I was contacted asking if I could make something with 90lb watercolor paper on a deadline because it was going to be used during an artist residency!

I'm happy to say I pulled it off and the artist loved it!

Never be afraid to reach out to ask for specific changes to my standard designs. I love being able to make something that's unique to you and your needs!

This was a very fun request that finished up a few weeks ago. I was asked to design a concert journal so they could track all the concerts they go to during the year.

I love how this little journal turned out (swipe to see the inside layout)! Would you like having this as a way to track your concerts?

I'm once again going to be in attendance at Can*Con! I had such a great time last year and I'm really excited to be back.

I'm hard at work on a whole collection of journals and notebooks just for Can*Con, and I'm making sure that I have even more stock than last year because you all had me selling out of stuff!

The vendor's room is free to the public, no ticket required, so you can come and visit me and all the amazing authors all weekend! See you then!

This paper is perfect for D&D campaigns, and I was happy to use it for this player journal as a gift.

I try to make sure I keep a lot of this paper on hand just for this purpose. (In fact I'm currently working on a DM version of this journal right now!)

This paper is hand marbled, so each sheet is completely unique! Every journal is one of a kind.

I was happy to make this custom planner for someone, especially when they chose this paper from my stash! It's so sparkly and just looks lovely on a handmade journal!

I'm so excited to announce that I'll be running a 3-week studio course in partnership with Urban Art Collective !

Students will be learning how to make their very own custom album - perfect for photos, scrapbooking, or storing small art pieces.

This initiative by the UAC (called the LAB) is a really exciting way for people to learn from actual working artists and makers. And they're offering so many different courses!

Come and join us, I promise you'll have a blast. See you in class!

Just a cute little lined reusable journal that went off to it's forever home recently. Not all custom journals need to be big and unique. Sometimes they just need to make the person smile when they get it.

I know it's a bit short notice, but I'm very excited to announce my next bookbinding class!

Between the library meeting room at the Nepean Centrepointe branch remaining closed, other venues being booked with summer camps or not responding to my inquiries, or space just being too expensive, it's been a rollercoaster trying to get classes scheduled this summer.

But I've got this class secured and I'd really love to have some of you come out and join me to learn how to make your very own journals!

If you're seeing this and you are signed up for my newsletter, don't worry, you didn't miss it! I've got a newsletter planned for the beginning of next week with this class but also some really excited news about a NEW up and coming class in October!

Find all the details about this softcover class on my site. You know how to get there!
