Welcome back my crafty friends!
My last post was all about taking a moment each day to write down one thing I am grateful for.
Today's project is about a resolution that I have made every January for the last 3 years (at least) and have never followed through with. I am hoping that this Celebrate File & card storage will help me.
I love to make cards but I am terrible at mailing them out in time. Horrible actually.
I used the Eileen Hull Travel Journal (661906) and Card Box, Planner Storage & Organizer (662361) dies to make my organizer.
~ Here is my finished organizer ~
Now I had to creative because the assembled card box is wider than the finished journal die. To solve this I left the first cut of the front and back of the journal whole and did not bend the spine on the score line. I made 2 extra cuts of the spine to attach to the front and back of the journal.
If that doesn't make sense then please watch the video - that may explain it better.
I made some monthly inserts for my card box that list the dates of birthdays and anniversaries for the entire year. I love that I can look ahead make a card and then store it in the box until its time to pop it in the post. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will keep be organized & motivated to get cards in the mail.

This is so cool Julia! I'm in the same boat and have hundreds of cards piled up and desperately need to do some mailing/organization! I may just have to lift this concept! <3 Thanks for the awesome inspiration. Hugs, Autumn
ReplyDeleteLove this! I think I would have to do the stamping part before putting it all together. I'm not as good as you are about placement!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool project! I love the way it turned out. What was the clear product used to cover the celebrate tag?
