Meet – Jack Paper Co.

it’s nice to meet you

Jack Paper Co. is Anne Marie Crosswell’s custom social stationery line. Though Anne Marie has always created in her free time, after practicing law for seven years and then finding inspiration in the many gorgeous, personal invitations she opened as her friends were married, she launched Jack Paper Co.

The business began with a friend who was an architect, from whom Anne Marie learned the basics of graphic design. A deep drive to learn the trade coupled with her natural enthusiasm for dreaming up invitations, stationery and unique branding has kept clients coming back to Jack Paper Co. for their paper and graphics needs.

More than anything, Anne Marie truly loves combining patterns and colors to make her designs stand out. She also loves sharing in the creative process with her clients to help set the tone for life’s most important moments and events.

Anne Marie lives in Columbia, S.C., where she grew up. She and her husband Edward have two toddlers, Grady and Louise. And what would Jack Paper Co. be without Izzy, her family’s Jack Russell Terrier? She truly believes that the time spent with her family and her work designing beautiful papers for life’s special occasions is the ultimate gift.

Who is Jack?

Jack Paper co. owes its name to the many beloved Jack Russell Terriers Anne Marie’s family has had over the years: Lucy, Lee, Rosie Moon, and Izzy. All quirky in their own way- be it a love of chasing blue racquetballs in the backyard or a ferocious barker at squirt bottles of any sort – these four legged friends are as special and unique as the paper goods created by their namesake.

The extra mile

Going the extra mile is the name of the Jack Paper Co. game, and it’s why I see so many clients returning for design work year after year. Have stationery for a newborn that you love? Let’s turn that design into calling cards or gift inserts for the busy birthday party years. Have a design in mind and need a little help pulling it all together? Jack Paper Co. works closely with our talented in-house illustrator who can bring to life whimsical, personal graphics for your invitation. Take a look at Jack Paper Co.’s portfolio and let’s get started.

Thanks, Mom!

Because my mom always says one should write a thank you note for a gift even as simple as a single stick of gum, I’ve had a lot of practice writing them over the years. Every now and then someone will say writing a beautiful note is one of my sweetest skills, and I don’t think there could be a better complement. I love being able to provide the platform for beautiful letters, just in case a friend offers you a stick of gum.

It’s great to create

On a childhood trip to the mountains, I snuck away to create two wreaths to adorn the front door when our guests arrived later that day. Finally emerging from the garage after being gone for hours, my mom looked at me with a smile and said, “you are your happiest when you are creating.” This is true, and it always has been. Tweaking details until we reach perfection is my happy place time and time again.

Art of the Party

I grew up in a party house. Whether it was a spaghetti supper for the soccer team or a Christmas party for the masses, our home was usually bustling with people celebrating joyous occasions. Maybe it is the memory of the way my childhood home looked in candlelight or the wonderful sound of deep laughter only old friends can evoke, then and now the art of throwing a party always leaves me with a special feeling. Knowing that Jack Paper Co. designs paper for your life’s most joyous occasions gives me that same excitement.

THE HEART BEHIND WHAT WE DO

The first time my dad saw my mom, he was so sure she was the one, he walked straight up to her and gave her a kiss. Was it forward? Yes. But it worked. It’s been 32 years and they’re still going strong.

My parents have always been a beautiful example of love, intimacy and marriage. And when my mom got sick, it wasn’t home decor or baked goods that my dad brought to the hospital, it was photos. Photos remind us of the strength, courage and hope that reside in all of us the way few other things can.
