Default How to organize my in-stock greeting cards?

I might just be too anal-retentive, but I can not believe I can't find a storage solution for 1/4 sheet handmade cards.

My favorite (but it's flimsy and old) is the box that envelopes came in... perfect height to let me thumb through my stash, but it's a little short (I keep a lot in stock... although it's never the RIGHT one so I often end up making a custom card when I'm in need, LOL).

How do y'all store your card stash?:confused:

Those photo boxes at the craft stores will work and they're dirt cheap. My favorite is the SU old card storage box that snaps together. I WISH I had gotten more than one since it was discontinued several years ago. Been looking everywhere for more of them!

I bought several of the boxes like the ones below. I have them on shelves (laying flat) and they look awesome. I got mine at TJ Max, but I notice some the other day at Big Lots and Burke's Outlet.

Shoeboxes...one that Christmas cards go into through the year.
One for cards ready to use any time, roughly organised by category.
One for "keeper" cards - for more special people, culled from time to time and moved into the "ready to go" box.
One for cards with Scripture, because I see that as a distinct subset since I wouldn't send them to everybody. I store them in cello bags, and preferably with an envelope if I remember to put one in.

Stacy's Memory Triggers: Booth Display scroll down in this post, and yes I have 4 suitcase that I fill with cards through out the year plus numerous baskets. ( and they are in those suitcases all year not just during a booth display)

I just use any available boxes (mostly shoe), but I made dividers to group them by categories:

Christmas
Holidays, Other
Birthday, Children
Birthday, General
Congratulations
Get Well
Sympathy
Thank You
All Occasion
Wedding/Anniversary

Cheap and simple. Hope this helps.
