Card Organizer

Hello everyone and happy Saturday to you!
It is my day to post over at My Craft Spot and I thought I would share my project with you here as well.   I am in the middle of re-painting/re-organizing my Craft Corner - and...I have a HUGE mess on my hands!  Anyway, as I was thinking about what to make for my DT post at My Craft Spot I decided to make something that would be useful AND look pretty in my newly painted room.

I'm pretty bad at making a new card and tossing it into a box with all my other completed cards without really organizing them.  I know - spend all that time making "the perfect" card then just toss it into a box - shameful!  So, with that nasty trait in mind, I decided to create some card organizers to keep my cards nice and neat.  Here's my first one.....


Pretty cute...huh?

I found this sweet card box file from Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette Online Store.  After cutting it out and assembling it, I pulled out some fun goodies from My Craft Spot and got busy!


* This fun banner was created using the Tiny Banners & Toppers Die Set. I added some clear gems to the topper portion to add a bit of sparkle.  I didn't have any black twine on hand so I cut a piece of Totally White twine and ran a black Copic Marker over it - perfect!

* The sentiment mat is a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store.  I used a sentiment from the Big Sentiments Stamp Set to designate this sweet box as storage for my Birthday Cards.  I love the pretty font on this stamp set ♥

* A few enamel dots on my sentiment mat finished this project up nicely!


Now I just need to get busy and make a box for Baby cards, Get Well Soon cards, Thinking of You cards...etc, etc, etc!

Well, I'm off to see if I can get some trim work painted in my Craft Corner - wish me luck!  Have a wonderful weekend and I'll be seeing you soon!

Until next time,

  5. I sure do like your card organizer. I just might need to use this idea if that is okay. I put all mine in a basket or two, but I prefer to be organized and this would do it. Going to check out the file.

  10. That is so pretty Tanya! And such a great idea! I have all of mine in baggies in drawers in my "other" craft room... never to be seen or heard of again! LOL ok... that's a bit exaggerated... but you get what I'm sayin'! :o) If I get time to create something like this I will! :o)

  11. This is a GREAT idea and turned out so pretty! I love it! I think I need to follow your example and make some boxes for my cards too because I do the same thing, put them in a basket until I need one, and then I have to go through them all to find the kind I'm looking for. You are so smart. Love everything you create. Hugs! :) Janis
