“Despite our Herculean efforts to realign our Papyrus and American Greetings (Carlton Cards) stores to fit today’s shopping environment, Schurman Retail Group had to make the difficult decision to close all 254 of our stores in North America," Schurman said in a statement to the USA TODAY Network's Indianapolis Star.

Carlton Cards was founded by Toronto man Harry Harshman in 1920. In 1956, Carlton Cards was purchased by American Greetings, which is owned by Schurman Retail Group. 

Papyrus is currently selling all items at 20 percent online, and the website notes that all sales are final.
