Created by a Stationery Owner — For Stationery Owners
I’m Laura Buhl, founder of Impact Stationery — and over the past few years, I’ve sold nearly $4 million worth of guided journals, planners, and paper-based tools.
But here’s what most people don’t see behind those numbers:
Manufacturing was the hardest part.
Finding the right suppliers, negotiating pricing, managing timelines, coordinating logistics… it took me years to figure it out — and it nearly stopped me more than once.
That’s why I created Elite Sourcing Collective.
To give other stationery creators what I didn’t have at the start:
This isn’t theory. It’s the exact approach I use to run my own product business — and now it’s yours too.
You’re not just getting access. You’re getting leverage.
Elite Sourcing Collective is the only sourcing group in the industry focused 100% on guided paper products—journals, planners, card decks, and more.
What makes ESC different?
This isn’t just sourcing.
It’s an unfair advantage—for creators with big ideas and bigger standards.

The Problem Most Creators Face
You know your idea has power.
It’s not just a journal, planner, or deck. It’s a tool that could change thousands of lives—and grow your business in the process. But when you try to bring it to life…

It’s not just a journal, planner, or deck. It’s a tool that could change thousands of lives—and grow your business in the process. But when you try to bring it to life…
Most creators hit a wall right when things should be getting exciting. Not because they lack clarity. But because the industry is built for big brands—not bold beginners.
