My Organized Greeting Card Box

I've been wanting to make myself a greeting card box ever since I made my mom one.  If you missed the one that I made for her, you can VIEW IT HERE.  

This box is to store blank greeting cards.  I LOVE creating homemade cards and this is the perfect place to store them.  When a birthday or a special occasion is happening, I go to this box to get a card rather than running out to a store.

I found this adorable box at Target in the gift wrapping section and thought this would make the perfect greeting card box!

 AND I love it!!

 I customized the top of the box . . .

 and made organized tabs for inside the box.

 I recently received this email from Anoymous:  "I love your greeting card organizing box! I tried to see if the labels were in your Etsy shop but I didn't see them."   WELL... I've been wanting to create some printable greeting card box labels for quite some time and this email,  of course, motivated me to do so!

SO NOW THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN MY SHOP:

 Simply click the photo above to be directed to the item in my shop.

I cut out the labels with my scallop punch (VIEW the how-to HERE) and then I used Mod Podge to secure them to cardstock paper that I cut to size to fit inside the box.

I also created a special dates to remember page:

which is ALSO available to purchase in my SHOP.  

Click the image above to be directed to this item in my shop.

 I printed it out and attached it to the inside of my box.

Under each month, I write in the birthdays of family and friends, because there is NO way I could remember them all.  Both my husband and I come from larger families.

Here's one last look at my organized card box:

This would make a great gift idea, as well.

Happy Monday to you all!!

Mail Organizer : Tips on Hanging & More

I've recently received an email regarding my Mail Organizer that I made a while back.

Anonymous asks: "Ok this may be a silly question but exactly HOW did you run the ribbon through and how much did it take? I love this idea and I have all of the supplies but I just can't seem to make the files hang correctly. Is it one continuous piece of ribbon or is it cut and attached on the back in some fashion?"

This was NOT a silly question at all!! It took me a while to figure out HOW to do this, but YES, it is one continuous piece of ribbon. I'm betting I used the entire spool of ribbon.

Now I'm not sure (as I don't have the spool any longer), but I'm thinking this spool of ribbon was about 7/8" x 18 feet.  I got it from Walmart.

Today I'm sharing photo's of the back and am going to try and explain how I did this, as best I can.

While threading the ribbon through you will be working your way UP.  Give yourself plenty of space to lay it all out, either on a large counter or the floor works too.

# 1 - Remove all of the ribbon from the spool.  Insert it through the FRONT of  the "bottom" file, as shown in photo 1. 

#2 - Bring the ribbon up over the back of the next file (as shown in photo 4) insert it through the back of the file and bring your ribbon through the front (as shown in photo 2.)  Repeat this process to the other side.  You will have overlapping ribbon on the front.

#3 - Repeat step #2 to the third file and run the ribbon up (leaving a little room) tie both ends into a pretty bow and hang from a decorative hook.

Photo #3 shows that the files actually hang loosely.  I use a sticky glue dot to keep the files hanging straight on the wall (only because my little ones, LOVE to hit it on the way out the door.)

HOPE this tutorial helps.

Speaking of wall mount mail/ paper organizers, I've seen a lot of really neat ones in blogland.  This one caught my eye, a while back and I pinned it on Pinterest.  If you haven't heard of Pinterest, you simply MUST check it out.  This is where I organize my online inspiration and I'm LOVING it!!

This paper organizer was created by Less Cake More Frosting and it's simply adorable!!  This one is made with a  SPONTAN Magazine file from IKEA. See the tutorial {HERE}

OR you can make one like mine, with files from Target:

VIEW THE FULL TUTORIAL HERE 

I've been thinking that it might be neat to personalize it with some fun fabric flowers, instead of the paper ones. Kinda like the ones that I made for my Everyday Message Board.

See my Fabric Flower Tutorial HERE.

AND ... today I created some printable Organized Mail Labels. They are NOW available in my Etsy Shop:

Simply click the photos above to be directed to the item in my shop. Remember you can always find links to my printables at the top of this blog under the MY SHOP tab.   Be sure and check my shop often, as there are more  items coming soon!

Have you made a unique mail organizer?  Do share! We'd ALL love to hear about it.

Children's Clothing - Star Label Tutorial

Back in my Organizing Children's Clothing post, I told you that I would share how I made the labels for my fabric bins.  Well, folks, here is the "how-to."

I picked up some of the same wooden stars that I used in my Make Your Own Star Wall Hooks post. (I think the stars are about 29 cents a piece at Joann Fabrics.)

I created the labels (which are NOW available in my ETSY Shop) printed and cut them out, and simply Mod Podged them onto the stars.

Before I glued the label on, I inked the edges of the wooden stars with an ink pad.

and popped a hole into the star,

then I punched a hole into the cut-out label...

and simply Mod Podged the label on.

Attach them to your bins with any ribbon you like.
You can even attach them to dresser drawers.

These are SUPER EASY to make.
:)

GET your STAR LABELS printable file and bring Delightful Order to your children's clothing:

 Simply click the above photo to be directed to the item in my shop.

You wouldn't need to use the wooden stars.  You can even print the labels on a thicker card stock paper and simply mod podge the cut-out label, which would would work just as well. 

Happy Organizing!
