Planning
If the crafter in your life enjoys planning and organisation, then this is a shameless plug for some very cool products that I designed. Card Corrals are little boxes that travel flat, and pop up to hold finished or in-progress cards on your desk. I have also created 3 different packs of divider cards … Monthly (Jan-Dec + belated), All Occasion and Christmas (currently only available in the Christmas Cards on Time box). They are portrait on one side, and landscape on the other, so whichever way you sort and store your cards, they’ll work. The Monthly cards include flower & gem of the month plus star sign information. The All Occasion & Christmas cards include bonus ideas.
I wrote 3 books … the Birthday Card Address Book, What to Write Inside Birthday Cards and What to Write inside Cards for All Occasions. They are available on Amazon HERE, and I do have the All Occasions book in the shop, which comes with bonus tabs that you can add to the title pages of each chapter. The books are designed to be written in, so add your own favourite things to write inside cards or make notes of whose cards you wrote which sentiment in, and when.
Lastly, there’s the Rule of Three notepads. There is a video below showing how I use this for noting down all those good ideas I have for stamps, dies, stencils and more. They help me decide which sets to add to my personal collection, remind me of my clever ideas, and you can even track how much use you’re getting from your sets!
Pictured here are the divider cards I created for the All Occasion Cards on Time limited edition box. These are a great way to sort your cards as you make them, which allows you to see where you have gaps in your card stash. You can retrieve them quickly when you need them, and they fit nicely into a Card Corral.
