How do you ladies store your 3x4 PL cards?
I am having problems finding the right thing to store them in. I found a artbin storage container however the lid will not fit, so I had to take the lid off it... My husband found a ornament storage box, however it still makes it so I can not close the lid.. I am at a loss.

I would think that a box for index cards should work, no? Those are 3x5.

I have a few different ways. For the BH cards, I use the plastic insert that comes with a Core Kit. I just put the cards in there Vertically so I can flip through them. It can hold quite a bit of cards! I also use a clear bin from The Container Store. And for my Gossamer Blue kit cards I use those plastic photo holders from Michaels. Just a few ideas. There are tons more on Pinterest!

I'm having the same problem. I have a wooden letter tray from Target, in the office section that has the wood office storage, that they fit nicely in but I have them in drawers so they don't get dusty and are easily accessible. I found other trays similar but they only hold the smaller cards. I like to keep the larger ones with the smaller to keep the kits together. So I'll be watching this thread too!

I was at Michael's last night and all of their storage was 50% off. I bought a larger, clear, plastic Iris container and I think it'll work perfect! It was only $5.50 on sale! I'm thinking it's very similar to the Close to my Heart one. It's 17 1/4in x 15 5/16in x 6 1/8 in. I'm going to organize a bin today and I'll post a picture (if I can figure that out!) and let you know how it goes.

I use the Antonius inserts from IKEA. It's a perfect fit for rounded cards like BH & WRMK, but it's a tad small for the square cards. I guess I'm still looking for that "perfect" storage solution, lol.

I use the 9L size of Really Useful box (purchased at Staples). link to 9L size Really Useful Box at Staples. I cut out a piece of left over foam board to wedge in the middle (the long way facing you and the locking handles would be to the right and left). I divide the 3x4 cards in half and put them beside each other, and then the 4x6 cards for that kit right behind. I then put a 4 1/2 x 6 card divider in between each kit, or theme, or category. I label the tab with the name of the kit. I bought the ones from 7 gypsies. 7gypsies library drawer dividersAlthough this link shows they are discontinued, I still see them at Joann's. I can fit 6 of the full size kits in one container. I like the fact that the lids lock down and you can stack them, your cards will not get dusty. |

I have 2 of the WRMK card storage drawer organizers and love them. There's room for 3x4 as well as 4x6 cards & it holds a ton of them! I also like that they're drawers so they are dust-free.

Although not a pocket scrapper, I incorporate journaling cards into my traditional layouts. I've struggled to store the different sized cards until stumbling across multi-purpose, inexpensive, wire bins with label holders at HomeGoods. Cards are now organized, easily accessible, & occupy a small storage footprint. HTH & best wishes finding a solution that works for you!

I love the medium CTMH storage containers. I have 2 and am needing a 3rd! I don't have a dedicated scrap space to I need all my supplies in closed containers. Oh for the day that I can have a Raskog cart! I'm so jealous!

I use photo boxes. I put 4x6 and 3x4 cards in the same box. There is a bit of room on the side. I put arrow stickers, date stamp, and grid cards there. You can also put 6x6 paper pads in, if they are set at a slant.

I use this Iris Box I got at Michaels. They are $24 and I got it half off. It has other holders in the big one that I divide the cards into kits, themes, etc. |

Antonius inserts from IKEA. $3 and holds several kits. I just printed out my dividers yesterday to separate the kits from each other. I then put it on a shelf and I have 4 shelfs that hold 2 inserts each. I have alot of kits!

I just went and got a Tjena box from Ikea this weekend to hold all my non-core kit cards. I like it a lot so far and it's a huge improvement to having all those smaller sets still sitting in their packaging. If you don't put tabbed dividers between the cards, the lid fits perfectly. I added dividers and am just keeping it out on my scrap table, but I can set the lid on top of the box if I get concerned about dust. Not perfect, but so far I'm loving the solution!  |

cinderelly I love that box. going to go get a couple this weekend. wish ikea was closer to me. wonder how well it will fit inside the rasklog cart? I haven't tried putting it in my Raskog but I feel like it might not fit there very well. I just have it sitting on the corner of my scrap table so it's within reach. I can take a look tonight & see if it fits! |
