storing card blanks & envelopes

[craftyteaspoon]

What do you store your card blanks and envelopes in? Mine are currently in a drawer that is very stuffed. Any ideas appreciated.:cool:

As long as they are A2 or smaller, they fit nicely in photo boxes. If they are enveloped or prefolded bases, you can stand them up in the box, as long as they are oriented horizontally. I have some prescored bases that are also in a photo box, but obviously flat. (6x6s will fit, too, you just can't stand them up in the box.)

Thank you SkyNacho! That is a great idea.

They also fit into the drawers of the cubes from Michael's that have four drawers.

That is where I have them now but its getting to crowed so it is not easy to find the type/color I want.

I have all of mine in file folders at the front of the filing cabinet drawer where all of my cardstock is. The pre-scored cards are not folded, and stand up on one side of the folder, with the coordinating envelopes next to them in the same folder. Card bases that have no matching envelopes and/or that are odd sizes (4" square, 3 1/2" x 5", etc.) are in a basket on a shelf where I can grab it quick to see if I have a base the right color/size before I make one...

I have scored card bases and envelopes in a wicker basket. It sits on my craft desk. The basket had a candle in it. Gave candle away, but kept basket.

I just purchased an Iris card keeper, I paid heaps for the shipping, the box was a lot cheaper, but I live in Australia, I love it, a plastic box with a hinged lid and a index.
