Does anyone have a great way to file finished cards in categories?
I currently have many of mine in a drawer that fits A2 cards okay, but nothing bigger. The bigger ones go in a pouch. I have separate drawers/pouches for "Thank You" and "literally everything else" LOL. This is not working out as well as I'd like.
Ideally, I'd like a box big enough to hold up to 5x7 cards in envelopes without crushing the corners, and I'd love to have about 10-14" of depth, since I keep a lot of cards at the ready. I do NOT want something as big as a whole file cabinet.
What do you use?

I use a clear storage box from SB.com. I like that the dividers are removable and their medium sized storage envelopes fit inside. www.scrapbook.com/store/sbc-storage-3832.htmlSize: 10.6" x 9.2" x 7.6" outside, 9.75" x 8.25" inside |

I use clear fridge bins which I buy at TJ Maxx. They come in many different sizes.

I make my own card boxes from large cereal boxes from Costco and boxes I get from stuff mailed to me. I make my own index cards for sorting from my ugly paper stash.
I used to have a bunch of topics, but I have narrowed it down to Birthday, Christmas, Get Well, and Sympathy.
You can tailor any cardboard box with a knife and duct tape. Or you can google it.

For my inventory and donation cards I keep them in some medium sized plastic bins I found at the grocery store, rubbermaid or some brand like that. Slimline cards fit sideways next to the normal cards. I use scrap cardstock for dividers. For my personal card stash I keep them in a re-used box that my bulk envelopes come in from Clear Bags. It's sized for A2 cards but I turn my finished cards sideways in the box so I can fit larger ones too. I don't have those sorted because I don't stash too many for myself and many of them are multi-use because I'm crap at committing to sentiments.
