Card Organization

While I was putting together one of our card kits on video, I was talking about how I kept my cards organized. I decided I could make a quicky video to show you what I used and how I try to keep my cards organized. So here we go...

Here's the video:



Here I am putting labels on the top of our Large Organizer:


Our New Large Organizer is even bigger than our previous large organizer. As a result, I can fit more cards into the new one so I changed out my old organizer. 

Supply:


I used my Brother P-Touch to make labels for the top of the box: Birthday, Greetings, Thank You and Other Holidays. Whatever works for you!

Thanks!

Rock and Roll Technique for the Hugs for You cards

I created the cards from the Hugs for You Workshops Your Way. I wanted to show one of my clubs what they look like in person and to work out any kinks when you make these versatile cards. The cards have many uses including Valentines Day cards. I love the Stitched Thin Cut circles that is suggested in the instructions. It' also been awhile since we used the rock & roll technique, which I really love and wanted to show how easy it is do do. I decorated the envelopes that come with the kit also.

The kit contents include:

1 – exclusive workshop stamp set (B-size)
2 – Boutique sheets
4 – cardstock sheets (1 Saffron, 2 Sugarplum, 1 White Daisy)
1 – Mink Twine (Z4221)
12 – white card bases & envelopes
Create 12 cards using the materials in this kit and easy-to-follow instructions (also found below). Complete your cards using the exclusive stamp images designed to give you ultimate control over the creative process, so you can always make your cards your way.



  • Use these 4 thin metal dies to quickly and easily cut the shapes shown. 
  • Size of shapes: 2¼", 1¾", 1¼", ¾".
  • Thin Cuts are packaged on their own magnetic sheet and work well with most die-cutting machines. I use the Cricut Cuttlebug.



Here is my supply list:

  1. Hugs for You Workshop Your Way
  2. Charcoal Ink Pad
  3. Saffron Ink Pad
  4. Sugarplum Ink Pad
  5. Foam Dots
  6. Acrylic blocks
  7. Thin Cut Stitched Circles
  8. Micro tip scissors

Remember, you can use the instructions and change the papers to whatever papers you want. Do it Your Way!
