Where can I buy scrapbooking supplies in Manhattan?
This is a question I get pretty frequently. So, I thought I'd compile a quick list of where I shop:
- Portrait Bug: This is a dedicated scrapbooking store offering lots of the latest and greatest. They also have a portrait studio on the premises, so you can take photos and scrap them right away!
- Lee's Art Shop: Before Portrait Bug opened, this is where I shopped the most. It's probably why I use so many art supplies (like paint) in my work. Totally influenced by the supplies available. They sell fine art supplies, crafty supplies (felt, glue), some scrapbooking stuff, etc.
- The Ink Pad: Packed to the rafters, this tiny gem of a store offers a million different stamps and all the stuff that goes with stamping and papercrafting. They have some scrapbooking supplies, but the focus is definitely on stamping.
- M&J Trimmings: I can get lost for hours in all the wonderful ribbon and buttons and trim at M&J. It's worth a visit if only to stare. Though, I've never managed to leave without something exquisite!
- Tinsel Trading: It's supposedly Martha Stewart's favorite craft shop. I haven't been to the new location, so I can't attest to the layout, but they carry amazing stuff! Lots of vintage trim and beautiful reproduction ephemera. Great stuff and totally unusual!
- Kate's Paperie: This is a big chain of stores. It's mostly cards and stationery with some scrapbooking stuff. But, there are plenty of locations around Manhattan, so it's easy to get to.
Here's the one thing you have to know before you shop at any of these places: they charge NYC prices. So be prepared to pay more then you do at home (although for non-North Americans this may not hold true…).
Anyway, I hope that's helpful! If you have any places to add or any opinions about the places I've mentioned, just leave them in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great list! For most of us Europeans even the BigApple-Prices are a good deal – so this is cool 🙂 Hope you are fine! Did you get photos btw? I wasn’t successful so far- LOL

This is a great list! There is also Paper Presentation on 18th St. between 5th and 6th ave. They have a whole area in the back dedicated to scrapbooking. It’s really cool.
Also other stores like Sam Flax and AI Freidman (in the same area) have some scrapbook supplies, but more art supplies/office supplies.
Hope this helps further! 🙂

Hi,
I checked Kate’s out over the summer. As I still am considering the move to NYC and away from the Midwest, perhaps I can become a costumer. 🙂

hello!
I am brazilian and I took a course bookbinding here in which the teacher used the tool crop-a-dile (We R memory keepers) and I want to buy one.
A colleague who lives in NY (Astoria) comes at the end of the year and I want to indicate some store so she can buy the tool for me, can you help me?
She works next street 7th ave to 36th St Manhattan.
thank you so much

It will be easiest for her if you order it online and have it delivered to her.

I will be visiting NY in April and would like to purchase a set of Faber-Castell gelatos. Can anyone tell me who might stock these? I live in Australia and the price here to buy is astronomical.
