Style Watch: How to Organize Your Stationery

I have more cards than I could possible send in twelve lifetimes.

In the craftroom, I have a box that I call “Hallmark.” It’s overflowing with handmade cards that I’ve created over the years and whenever friends come over, I tell them to go shopping at “Hallmark” and pick out some cards for their own stash. It’s a great way to pare down my collection and send them off to a good home.

With so much stationery around here, I’ve long wanted to come up with a creative and simple way to keep it organized…a system for categorizing some of my cards, making it easier to find them and actually put them to use (instead of letting them pile up).

Today, I’ve got a really simple tutorial featuring the File It stamps and dies from Clear & Simple Stamps, which are perfect for a project like this. The tiny words and file tab dies are great for customizing organizational projects.

Once the file is assembled, you’ll want to add some details to the dividers to make it easy to categorize your stationery.  The labels from File It: Stationery and the File It Die Collection worked great for this element of the project.  If you’d like to add more dividers to your file, simply add more accordion folds. That way, you can have even more categories in your file.

    I was wondering how I will store my stationeries that are in a moving box. I have more than several inches. You gave me an idea. Thank you. I’ll open a file drawer and file them away in hanging files. That will be great, and they will be organized!

    While I love the idea and think it’s the cutest creation, the instructions need to be revisited and revised. It would have been nice to know which side to score along for (2)…on number (3) TWO 5 x 10″ sheets of paper scored every half inch would have been nice to see and something is not right with the tape placement when its put together but maybe I’m just severely confused with that…..again, I do appreciate the share and it’s so cute, I just like to fly though projects w/o much thought and second guessing.
