Wowie!! I am so stoked about this amazing online deal and I am guessing most of you will be, too! 😀 Currently, the new company, Paper Coterie, is offering up a coupon code valid for $40 worth of Paper Coterie products for FREE… yes, you heard me right – FREE! All you will have to pay is shipping, which came to $9.08 for myself when I was testing the deal. Once you’ve added at least $40 worth of product/products to your cart, head to checkout and use promo code OPENHOUSE (valid until midnight on May 6th) and $40 will automatically be deducted from your total!


Besides that fact that this is a smokin’ deal, the Paper Coterie site is just plain adorable. I was browsing around and am now having a hard time deciding what items I should create as I like every single product they have to offer entirely too much. They have Photo Books that start in price at just $20, Photo Journals for $15, Swatchbooks for $15, Calendars that start in price at $17 and much, much more!

Take the time to browse around… trust me, you’ll need it and then come back to let us know what bargains you were able to score!

(Thanks so much for the heads up on this amazing find, Muffin!)

    did anyone notice on the top left of the website it was red and said not a secure site? what does that mean.

    • Emilytwinmom

      The site is not verified as secure, so who knows. I just realized you can’t delete any of your photos or info off the site, so it’s a super no go for me!!

  2. kyle

    I was having trouble ordering my products with two of my credit/debit cards (for no reason!) and so I chatted with customer service and she gave me TWO codes for free products and free shipping so I wouldn’t have to enter my card. WOW, was not expecting that!

    • Victoria McGovern

      I am having that problem too! I tried 3 cards and they are bank cards. I hope they can help me. I spent 5 hours on 2 books and I would hate to not get them.

    i worked on this last night and it was quite slow so i saved my projects. this morning, i went on again and it was super quick. got done with my 3- 20×13 posters. very excited to see how they turn out. we had taken a ton of pix at easter so i made the collage out of those and plan to give it to my parents as they love pix of the boys. my shipping total was 11.21 to MN. thanks for the info on this great savings!

    What am I doing wrong? Earlier this morning I created an account and browsed the books section. I found a few I liked so I tried clcicking on them to see more info. owever, that screen “grayed out” and when I would try to clcik anything on it (to see the back cover, click on the details tab, etc) I was immediately taken back to the main Books page. I thought maybe it was just loading slowly so I fed my 3-year-old and came back and my screen was still grayed out looking with the sam problem. Any suggestions???

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I’m having the same issue, it’s all grayed out and won’t let me do anything either….

    • dizzell

      I’m having the same problems.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I called and she didn’t know what the problem was, she said to try installing the latest version of flash, which I did (it’s located at the bottom of their page under faq) and it didn’t work either…. So I don’t know, but she did say they extended the offer code through Sunday if you can get it to work…

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Got it, if you right click on the item you are selecting and open with a new window it will let you create, BUT now…it won’t let me delete anything from my cart! WTH! I’m getting fed up.

    • Sondra Muela

      I had the same problem… If you are using Internet Explorer then that is your problem. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and it works like a charm! Hope that helps!!

    • Kirsten

      I had the same problem and updated flash….still didn’t work. But then I updated to IE 8 and that fixed the problem.

  5. Heather

    I just ordered and didn’t have a problem, but the shipping to CA for $30 worth of items was $19.20 so unless they lower shipping costs or give other options, I don’t think I’ll be ordering anything else from them…. Great Coupon though!

    • SUMMERBOB

      I can’t believe shipping is $18.24 for $30 worth of books…I’m very frustrated. AFter spending hours on these books and having to redo them because it wasn’t saving when it said it was, now shipping is so outrageous!

    • Stephanie

      I agree with the high shipping cost. Albeit their items are extremely cute, unless they lower shipping costs, I won’t be revisiting. I ordered a journal $15 and Growth Chart $29, and total came to $19.99, which included a $15.99 shipping fee (ouch!). I’m pleased with my purchases, the journal is a birthday present. I did have some technical difficulty. After saving my projects various times, they were not there in the “my saved” section, so I had to redo a couple things.

  6. codysmommy

    Just got mine….ordered the alphabet book for my son and a mom book for me! The site said https, so it was secure when I did mine. Got everything for free and just $10 for shipping, so I’m super excited! Thanks for the heads up on this Collin!!!

  7. Doa

    Just ordered one for my parents, with all the grandkids’ pictures, and pictures of them. Paid $9.73 shipping, and ordered the Draw me a flower calendar. I can’t wait to see it when I visit! Thanks for this Collin 🙂

  8. Julie

    i just ordered a coil book and a journal to write down my son’s first words when he starts talking….only $15 for shipping…….so excited to see the final results….Thanks again!!!!

  9. Trisha

    Thank you so much Collin! I have been wanting to get journals for my three kiddos for a while but it can be so expensive for good quality journals. Thanks to your site I got 3 for $15 shipped!
    Awesome Deal!

    • Nicole

      Me too! I ended up making 3 journals to use as Christmas gifts for my mom, sister-in-law and my future sister-in-law (she and my baby brother just got engaged 4 days ago!!) So excited!

  10. ksqueen44

    I love Paper Coterie!! I had a problem saving my project and they were very helpful and gave me two codes for my troubles…I have to remake my project but I don’t mind…all there stuff is so adorable!! Can’t wait to use them more in the future!!

    • Christy G.

      Did you call them or do the live chat? I spoke w/Melissa on the live chat because I was on page 22-23 of my recipe book, it got locked up saying “saving” and when I went back in to start where I left off, my project book is BLANK. ARGH! She just said they are flooded and to try back in an hour. No offer codes were offered.

  11. Sheila

    I wouldn’t waste my time on this one…takes SOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!

    • a

      i second that. i ordered on may 10th, and to my dismay, my status is still showing PENDING. i ordered during the free $40 coupon, and it seems like they are using that as excuse for “influx” of orders….yet, on their site and fb page, it shows “5 – 7 days….until shipment” i have chatted with them 3 times this week, and have been told my TWO items are still printing……..i did a poster and a swatchbook….today, was told, no idea why it has taken so long……i emailed them yesterday, they emailed back promptly asking what my order number was (as i forgot to include that), and since, NO response. i feel like they are hiding something from me regarding my order for some reason. i am a professional photographer, and don’t think i will be using them again unfortunately.

  12. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    the https had a great big red x over it when i went to use it. any thoughts on why this would be

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      It’s means your picture isn’t good enough quality, probably to be sized that big….but I do photography and it did the same thing to me with my pictures and I know mine are large enough….

  13. Mary@4our2cents

    According to their FB page- the offer has been extended through May 8, midnight!

  14. Kristine

    I ordered 2 books from them. It took a long time, was was very worth it. There was a computer glitch toward the end of my ordering process that caused problems. I contacted their customer service after I had placed my order (and saw the glitch). They were VERY sweet and understanding, and gave me a new code to use. I was schocked to find that this code was for %100 off and FREE shipping. I think they are giving this code to customers who have glitches in their orders? I am very impressed with this company, and will DEFINITELY order from them again! 🙂

    • sramze

      AWESOME!

    • SUMMERBOB

      I have wasted HOURS of my life on this site. It keeps saying it has saved my project, but then it doesn’t & I have to start all over again. I have chatted with CSR, but all they did was say sorry & they’ll look into it. AAAAAARGH!

      • Colleen

        The projects don’t save under the saved items section on the site. They save under “my projects”. Once you are on that page there are two sections: “Complete Projects” are projects you have added to your cart and “Incomplete Projects” are ones that you are working on and have saved but haven’t placed in your cart. “Complete Projects” display on the page automatically but you have to click the “Incomplete Projects” link to display those.

        The site is Authenticated by GoDaddy if you check the lock.

        I just ordered, and my $45 order before shipping cost $22 after applying the coupon. Shipping for FedEx ground which is the cheapest shipping is significantly overpriced but after the coupon wasn’t a bad deal for the items I bought. The big question for me, as a photographer, is how well the items will look when they arrive.

        • njk

          so how did you like the quality?? WHich one did you buy– I am planning to buy some!

  15. Katy

    I ordered three of the swatchbooks for 17.00 and change total. I showed my husband and we were going to sign him up so we could order three more but I tried it out and it let me use the same coupon AGAIN!!!! It looks like you may be able to submit multiple orders and get the 40.00 off again.

  16. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    $10 and some change to ship to Tx, I was having the same ‘dimming’ problem. I used google Chrome as a web browser instead of explorer and the problem was fixed!

  17. Sue

    If you have any problems I would strongly suggest contacting customer support/ live chat, they have been super helpful, walked me through all issues and the products are simply amazing. I ordered when they were in Beta and I assure you, you will be delighted. I ordered again using the coupon, needed support again but it was simple to work out. Can’yt wait for my next batch to arrive.

  18. sramze

    I did the ABC book for boys & the Dream & Wishes book for boys. Total I paid $18.75! I’m stoked about it too! It didn’t take me too long, but I will say I started mine at midnight & worked until 1 a.m. then again yesterday morning I picked a bunch of pics to up load & left the house to run some errands. They all loaded & working “in” the book was super simple too. I’m hoping for more great offers from them as they have super cute books. Who knows if I love the books I made I may not wait for a deal b/c the prices really aren’t too bad.

  19. Jessica

    I get this stupid site to work for nothing! Its all grayed out! I tried right clicking and everything..not sure what to do..someone help please

    • Sondra

      If you are using internet explorer than that is your problem. I had to download mozilla firefox to get it to work. Hope that helps!

  20. Carolyn

    I made 2 journals for my sisters birthday’s which turned out so cute! My total came to $30 and was still able to use the code! So you don’t have to spend $40. I paid $9.04 for shipping! That makes $4.52 for each, very inexpensive, cute, and personal!

    • SUMMERBOB

      Lucky you. These products are adorable, but shipping almost kills it for me. I live 30 minutes from the company that sells these & shipping to me for 2 items is over $18! I wonder if there’s some kind of mistake with that?

  21. Laurie Lee

    Just came from the Paper Coterie site where I aborted my order. Like many of the commenters above, I, too, couldn’t believe the shipping charges. $20.96 on a $30.00 order (2 journals)! I don’t know why some people ordering 2 or even 3 items seem to be paying so much less in shippping (around $10.00). And why is Fedex the only shipping option?

    Thank you, Collin, for letting us know about the coupon. Their stuff is very cute but the outrageous shipping charges left a bad taste in my mouth.

  22. nkj

    wow..received the album! Just beautiful …I sure am going to use them over and over ! customer service is excellent too! Loved dealing with them!
