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!)

    Sent this to my aunt who will be having a wedding soon! Thanks so much 🙂 This is a very HIP deal!

  2. Anne

    This is awesome! I’ve been trying to figure out a gift for my husband’s graduation from BMT. I LOVE the swatchbooks. Then, he can take it with him to tech school.

    I was chosen to get a free product to do a “test run” before the site went live. I got one of their 11 x 14 wall posters. It was super cute, but didn’t adhere well to the wall. Their customer service was GREAT. They sent me a replacement poster super quickly!

  4. Suszy

    Thank you – I am so excited! My parent’s just celebrated their 50th anniversary and I wanted to get the pictures I took at it put in a book and have just been procrastinating… this is the perfect opportunity to finally complete it! You ROCK, Collin!

  5. Lisa R

    I think the site is crashing. Everytime I try and look closer at an item the page dims and does nothing. 🙁

    • kelsey

      I thought that too ! It is just the way the site works to look closer at your item, scroll up or down and you should see your item !

  6. Tiffany

    Does anyone know how long this will last? I will have to wait until tonight to make one!

    • Collin

      The coupon code is valid through May 6th! 🙂

  7. Tiffany

    Nevermind! lol

  8. Lisa R

    I think that their site is crashing. Everything I have tried to go into dims in color and then proceeds to do nothing at all. Too bad, super cute ideas but it’s not worth the time and headache. Maybe I’ll try back about midnight when less people will be online.

  9. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    If people get orders through, could you let us know in the comments what you ordered and how much shipping is? Thanks!

  10. Jen

    I ordered a large print and a smaller print and my shipping was $15.71 HTH! 🙂

  11. Jessica

    I was looking at the growth charts. I live in Missouri and shipping is $11.21 – FedEx Ground. Too bad they didn’t offer other shipping methods, like USPS.

    • Jennifer S

      Jessica what part of MO are you in? I’m in KS, but work in MO. Always nice to see a local bargain shopper!

  12. jessica

    the site must be overloaded – everytime i pick out pictures to upload, the screen goes blank and freezes. oh well. – cute idea, maybe i’ll try back at a non-congested time…

  13. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Random Post: was just browsing You tube when I ran into this:

    https://youtu.be/vAZopLHCyxo

    Thought it was kind of interesting, and It reminded me about the “Coffee with Collin” video you did, where you contacted stores asking about their coupon policy.

    It’s a great reminder for all those who are new to coupons that one should find the store’s coupon policy directly on the stores site. 🙂

  14. ellekd

    Good News! I just received an email from their customer service and they told me that due to the overwhelming response they have extended the expiration until Friday at midnight. This will give me a little more time to prepare, yeah!

  15. H

    I ordered a growth chart and my shipping was $8.89.

  16. Kalyn

    It took a while but it finally went through- a custom growth chart and a “quotes” book to write everything my son says 🙂 Shipping was $16.00, and I went over by $3.00, but I still feel like $19.00 is awesome for those custom finds… RIGHT? haha I am about to place my order.. wish me luck!

    • Rachael

      What is the Quotes book called? That sounds like a cute idea.

  17. Jessica

    I only ordered one item for $28, and it took that amount off too, so you don’t have to spend $40 if you don’t want to. Everything else that I wanted was going to put me over $40, so I just stopped with one item and only paid shipping.

  18. Lindy Powers

    I love the idea, but am finding the site to be slow and frustrating. I have been working on down loading pics for and hr. Not sure this is worth my time. I may try again later. Thanks you Colin for the awesome idea.

  19. shandra

    Everytime I try to download a picture it keeps wanting me to sign in AGAIN. I am getting super frustrated. Really cute stuff though.

  20. Emilytwinmom

    I too was trying forever to upload pictures, and ended up giving up. Great deal if you have the time to work for it, I have three kids and I’m whupped!!! Good luck ladies!!!

    • Emilytwinmom

      I tried again today, and while I was able to get through these books are awfully hard to make compared to using shutterfly, picaboo, snapfish, etc. I stopped and decided it was way not worth my time to spend $15 in shipping anyway, I’ll wait for a coupon code for a better site. Ick! There is also no way to delete photos off the site, or cancel your account just fyi.

  21. amy

    I ordered two of the little desk calendars for 40 even and my shipping was 10.18. I live in michigan.

  22. Megan

    I LOVE the stuff on this website! It’s so different! Love it! Thanks so much for posting this!

  23. Liza

    WOW! I have to share… I went to the site and thought I’d give this is a shot. I spoke online with one of their reps and asked if there was any way I could use this code LATER in the month because I am taking a trip out of the country. I told her I knew it was a shot in the dark but I thought I’d try. 🙂 She told me the code has been extended till Friday, but also gave me another code to use for after my trip! It is for a free product and free shipping! I was SUPER excited! I wanted to share this because I think great customer service needs to be shared, and I will defintely be ordering more than just the one free product after our trip. I just hope no one reads this and tries to take advantage of their hospitality.

    • Suzanne

      could you please message me with the code too? suzanne (underscore) marie (underscore) lewis at yahoo dot com
      Thanks!

      • Liza

        Sorry… it’s a one time use code.

    • Barb

      I think her main reason for posting was to mention good customer service. I think if you call customer service they might let you in on this great deal also.

  24. Erin

    Wow! Amazing deal! I’m thinking of doing the collage-like pictures and framing them!

  25. Jess G

    I LOVE the idea of the prompt me book- but you can’t pay in advance and it helps you make it over three months…

  26. Amber R.

    This site must be getting hit hard as its starting to run super slow 🙁

  27. Andrea

    Well, I know this is off topic but I am excited to be able to say I got my 24 cent duracell batteries today !!! Yipee !!!

    • Suszy

      Score!! I just couldn’t believe it – figured no way was that deal in Michigan. I was about to do the happy dance all the way out the door!

  28. amber

    i did a guest book shipping is $9.73. The book is $36 and still allowed me to use the coupon so i only paid shipping. so fingers crossed everyone that the orders dont get cancelled

  29. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I am glad I am not the only one. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to order on this site. I “save” but then it is empty. No where is there an “add to cart”. I also had the screen dimming. I sent them an email.

    • codysmommy

      i couldn’t figure this out either at first, but after you put in your credit card info to your profile then it will let you save it. I thought it was wierd at first, but I guess it’s so people just don’t go and make stuff on their site with no itention to buy??

  30. Sarah Y

    I’m having no luck at all! Everytime I try to create something, the page takes minutes to load, and then it’s blank! Am I doing something wrong? (I just updated and installed new java hoping that was the problem, but it didn’t make a difference.) 🙁

    • Jessica

      It kind of did that to me too – but I refreshed the page a few times, and it began to load rather quickly. I have a satellite internet connection, so it’s not the fastest, but not the slowest either.

  31. Sarah

    I got three journals to give as gifts. I was just going to get two, but shipping was less than 50 cents more for all three and figured it was worth the $5 for the third journal.

  32. Jan

    wow….that took awhile – but I have a new grandbaby and I made an awesome book for $9.59 – thank Colin for all you do!! This was a great deal!!!

  33. Jessica

    Off topic – Collin, your new logo is SUPER cute!! Do you re-design them for holidays on your own!?

  34. trailmama

    this is perfect! thank you thank you! got the imagine journal for my niece that is graduating next month! shipping to madison wi was 9.58… still a fantastic deal for a custom order like this. i was able to upload a picture that my niece took back in 2007 and i hope it turns out great. very special gift for her!

  35. Ashley

    This website is super slow!!! grr. I have refreshed it about 15 times!!

  36. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    well…. took about 2hrs to load, and design – but it’s done and ordered! I just ordered two of the same book “hopes & dreams”… cuz didn’t want to take the LONG time to design another book! I’m sure site is super slow cuz of the grand opening!! but very cute books, very different… and hope to use them more if quality turns out! (2 books at $22 = $44-$40 – $4 total, plus shipping which was $11.99 – still a great deal for two 20pg books!)

  37. Nathan

    Waiting…waiting…waiting…refresh…refresh..refresh…it’ll be so worth it if I can really score two of those cute journals for my 2 moms!

  38. Nathan

    I’ve been refreshing for about 15 minutes with no luck. Is everyone else having the same results?

  39. lynne

    would love to make the recipe books, but site is taking forever!

  40. Gina

    I got 2 recipe books (one for my Mom, one for my sister). I didn’t have the recipes to type in, so I left those pages blank. I sure do hope they can write the recipes in. If not, I’m really gonna be bummed. I did personalize each with their pics.

  41. Muffin

    I hope ya’ll can take advantage of this great offer! I designed one of the calendars and a few books! Super great company and I’m glad that they have such great customer service and most of you are being taken care of! Good luck everyone!

  42. couponqueen625

    I just ordered a So in love poster picture 20X13, a doggy journal, and a Things I love journal. The shipping was $23.51. Kind of steep but when you figure that they are giving you the product for free you can’t complain. For everyone who is having problems with it loading, it take a very long time because they are having high traffic. I just pushed the button and walked away from the computer for a bit and it eventually pops up. If you are doing a project with lots of photos, I could see it taking a very long time. HTH. Super excited to get my goodies in.

  43. Laura

    did anyone order the prompt book ? i wanted you ideas on iy

  44. Laura

    did anyone order the prompt book ? i wanted you ideas on it

    • Stacie

      I did, but it doesn’t let you pay for it now I guess. I haven’t received any prompts via email yet either. I figure $10 a month is worth actually writing something down about our family. I am excited to try it.

  45. Jaclyn

    I was able to get the ‘My Mom’ book for Mothers day and a cute journal for myself, just paid $16 for shipping. Thanks for the tip!

  46. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I ordered two Journals (Pastel Diamonds) for Teacher Appreciation week; if they don’t get here in time for end of the year.

    I put a picture of the teach in the front and their name in “Mrs.Smith” in some pretty cursive writing.

    I am going to give them to my son and have each student write her a a note of appreciation, after it’s done going to wrap it and give it to her…

    Paid only $9.58 shipping awesome deal; and i think it will be a cute personalized gift for teachers from ALL the students!

    Product name: Qty Price Total
    Pastel Diamonds 1 $15.00 $15.00
    Pastel Diamonds 1 $15.00 $15.00

    FedEx Ground Payment name:

    Subtotal: $30.00
    Discount: -$40.00
    Shipping: $9.58

  47. Maggie M.

    Just got 2 journals for gift box how awesome they looked! $11.74 shipping

  48. Stormy

    Just ordered a growth chart this morning. Granted, that was only one picture, but it was FAST and EASY. Ordered and paid $8.90. We’ve been really needing one, so thank you for sharing this information!

  49. kathleen

    site was running a little faster this morning than last night. I got three journals. I paid the $5 overage + $10 shipping to Oklahoma…great deal and super cute stuff! Totally worth waiting it out on the overloaded site!

  50. Christine

    Does anyone know about the quality of the products from this site? I am so excited about the growth charts. I’m going to order one if I can get through.
