It's been awhile since I have posted pretty organization inspiration, so I am happy to share with you my latest project today! I have always been a big believer in hand-written notes. Whether it's a thank you, a birthday card, or just a little note to say "hello", it's such a fun surprise to receive one in the mail, or send one off to a friend! In elementary school, I remember getting in trouble for using class time to write notes to friends and not paying attention to my teacher. I guess old habits die hard! Because of my deep love for the hand written note, I am always on the hunt for witty, unique cards. Some of my favorite online retailers are Sugar Paper, Rifle Paper Co., and Oblation Papers:
My desk was beginning to overflow with random cards being stuffed in every drawer, and as an organization freak that wasn't going to do. When I saw I Heart Organizing share a greeting card organizer, I had to make one for myself:
I found this cute blue box at The Container Store. Then, I made labels with different card categories, such as "Thank you", "Holiday", and "Sympathy":
Now all my favorite cards have a home!
You likey? Then make one for yourself!

How do you stay organized?
ha! love it!! I always wanted to have one like this....I love your vodka card.
ReplyDeleteSam,Great idea..I have a box of cards that I add to whenever I see some cool cards. My family even goes to my card box in an emergency to find a last minute card, so it's a great organization tip.

ReplyDeleteso cute! I need to be better about buying cards aside from thank yous.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I have mine at least in a single box but definitely need to get sorting! Thank you for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!! XO
ReplyDeleteI used this to organize my old boss' card collection and it was awesome!!! I try to buy "emergency" birthday or other greeting cards, but then I lose them...maybe I need to try this for myself :) xo
ReplyDeleteI think it's so great to have a box like this on hand. It's perfect for last minute parties, just grab a card on your way out, no need to stop at the store. My stock is low. Must get on this.
ReplyDeleteFabulous post! Come and make my house organized!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! I have all of mine separated in a drawer right now, but I think the dividers would make it even better :)
ReplyDeleteI need that I Recommend Vodka card asap! And this is a great idea!

I so need to do this! I love buying cute cards, but then when I need one I can never find them. I am sure if they were stored this way I would send more snail mail to friends and family.
ReplyDeleteWill cards that are on the larger side (like some anniversary or wedding cards) - fit in this box too or is this only for small, standard sized cards?
