Storing all those hand-made cards you make!

Here's a great tip for storing your cards so you can find them!
  • Start with a CD tower with adjustable shelves. (Mine is a tall one from IKEA) 
  • Label shelves with type of card - I've got: "Anniversary/Wedding/Baby," "Birthday," "Get Well," "Holiday," "Misc," "Sympathy," "Thank You/Thanksgiving," "Thinking of You".
  • Adjust shelves to suit. For instance, I only have a small space (about 1 inch) for my "Sympathy" cards, but more like 7 or 8 inches for my "Holiday" cards since I make so many more of those.


If, like me, you have shelves left over. That gives you a place to store card blanks, envelopes, or other card- making essentials.



By the way, Paper Wishes Message Board ran a hints and tips contest and I posted several of these tips there under their "Hints & Tips" forum. Soon they will have them up for a vote -- I'd love to have your support in winning that prize!

Update: Voting is finished and I won with this tip! Thanks to all of you who voted for me!
