New fall and Halloween paper at Michaels!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I like the happy harvest one for fall with pinks and oranges, that one is cute!

[@roseannabrown6554]

Thanks for all the flip throughs, I appreciate it ❤

[@divinemelody3215]

I agree with you there has been no paper out that I love either. These craft stores need to step up their game or I will continue getting mine online. Thank you you saved me a trip😊

Michaels paper pads have gone down hill in the past few years, disappointing. Thanks for sharing.

[@janetlynn694]

@@jayd2450 they sure have… they used to be way better

[@marilynh5556]

Thank you for showing us these paper pads. I agree with others - thank you for saving me a trip, and their paper pads have been awful the last couple of years. I hope the Christmas ones will be better. I found some nice paper pads at Joann's recently that I liked much better than these.

[@noricoleman8988]

They need new designers. The pads aren't appealing lately at all.

[@lyndapyleskelly]

Agreed

[@JessPlansAndCrafts]

Thank you so much for sharing this! And saving me a trip, too. I feel like Michael's has definitely been snubbing papercrafters the last few years. First they got rid of 80% of their Happy Planner stuff, then seem to put zero effort and resources into designers and paper pads, so I haven't gone there in almost a year. I miss the hot buys when they had paper pads, washi, and other coordinating goodies.

[@janetlynn694]

i miss the older paper pads too...

Hi. Michael's in Canada is aweful to shop at now for paper crafting items. No other stores to purchase paper crafting items.

[@janetlynn694]

its sad how little stores are left

[@DanaKeller-ee1zb]

Last year at our Michael’s this didn’t sell well, not even on clearance.

[@Mary-el3pi]

Neither Michael’s nor Hobby Lobby seem to replenish their stock very often…so disappointing, at least near me.

[@janetlynn694]

well at least in hobby lobby, thats an ordering problem with the dept head...but if you are talking about new stuff coming and how frequent that is, its only once a year

[@Mary-el3pi]

@@janetlynn694 The stock at both local stores is always low and rarely has new paper. Hobby Lobby looks like they are doing away with a lot of craft supplies, at least at the one closest to me. Other HL stores are better stocked. Michael’s is pretty bare, too. Might just be a local issue.

[@janetlynn694]

@@Mary-el3pi well all hobby lobby stores carry the same papercraft items, so if your stores shelve are always half empty, and another store you go to is better stocked that just means that the dept head at your store is not ordering correctly...now when various HL are out of the same products, they are just out of stock at the warehouse....as far as new paper goes, that does only happen once a year...new paper will prob be rolling in within the next month or so once the paper crafting relays are done....ive never worked at michaels, but from being a frequent shopper, it also appears that they only get new paper in their actual paper aisle once a year...and a couple times a year get some seasonal ones that are on endocaps or other displays

[@janetlynn694]

also at HL when you see a bunch of stuff constantly out of stock its usually before markdowns and those items are being deleted and they can't get them anymore...just wanted to point out its not always an ordering issue

[@Mary-el3pi]

@@janetlynn694 thanks…I always keep checking!

[@Bmascraftycorner]

Every time I go to Michael's I am disappointed. All of their pads are card stock. As a Journal and card maker I need paper. They have reduced their open stock to 3-4 designs for each holiday (1 for Chanukah) and just basic colors. Their embellishments are almost non-existent. They only carry their own brand of paper, stickers and embellishments so little to no variety. Really sad with the direction they have taken in the last few years.

[@janetlynn694]

@@Bmascraftycorner I agree

[@lindakline7314]

Another one in agreement. Pads are pretty blah. I might like a couple of designs per pad but not enough to buy the whole pad

[@janetlynn694]

yeah....for me to buy it for the few sheets i like, it has to be dirt cheap...like clearance

[@caroleeritchings230]

Very disappointed with this years holiday pads
