The House That Stamps Built: Presentation of the Week

 

It is my  turn for POTW at The House That Stamps Built.

I am sharing a new organization  system I  

put together in minimal time that makes my card making much

easier and quicker.   I had bits and pieces cut out for card making all over

 the place  but not many full size  cards pieces so decide a tote with

precut white card pieces would be handy.  This is what

 I came up with:

 

 

I have sections for: 

-Scraps

-3 34" by 5" card layers

-4 by 5 1/4 " card layers

-  Scored cards 

-Embossed card fronts

-Glossy 4 by 5 1/4 " for layers

-Card fronts (colored die cuts I had)-one exception to the whites

- Card bases: A2 Scored,  horizontal and vertical cut

-Card layers, horizontal and vertical cut unscored- 4 1/4 " 11" and 5 1/2" by 8 1/2"-this is my favorite.

 

I used a container I had at home,  my dividers are 5 1/2" by 6",  I made the

tabs with my envelope board, they could also be hand cut.

 

 

To give you an idea on the scrap section, I save sizes from little strips (for

greetings) to almost card front sizes:

   I picked 4  cards from the past year to share with you that used my favorite stamps:


6104-J, Birthday Vertical My absolute most used
stamp, I keep it on a block all the time, it is cut in half on
this card. Paired with 2411-K, Pelican's Piling, 

3412-C, Gulls in Flight, in the first card.

2008-K, Shepherd Boy -He makes a beautiful card.




4313-K, Sunflower and 8614-D, Find beauty Everyone likes
