Hey, thanks so much for letting me know my pictures didn’t upload with my blog post... they were there when I scheduled the post. Must be a blogger issue again. Anyway... here is that post.
I thought I’d show you how I store mine. I figure if we’re gonna spend good money on stamps and supplies, we might as well protect our cards.
I use Protective Closure bags from Clearbags.com. The adhesive is not on the flap and they are resealable. With the adhesive not on the flap, you don’t risk damage to your card when your pulling them in and out. I like that!!
The bags above are for my A-2, regular standard size, cards... the one on the left is 5 7/8 by 4 1/2, B45PC and I keep my flatter cards in this one. The one on the right is 4 15/16 by 6 9/16, B65PC and I use this one for my cards of the same size, just with thicker embellishments.
My drawers are part of a 4 drawer little unit and approx 5 9/16 by 6 7/8 by 12 1/2 deep. I don’t remember where I got it, I know I got it to store photo’s in. The only thing, my drawers don’t fit the square cards you can make from the SU Med Square Envelopes, which I’ve recently became a big fan of. Plus they have clear bags for those too, B66PC. Plus, I can now easily find my cards.
I also liked that these clear bags with the protective closure were priced pretty good. The two for the A-2 cards are just $5 each for 100 and the Square ones are $6 for a 100. So I hope you are protecting your cards too. I am so glad I did mine.
Leave me a comment and let me know how you store and protect your finished cards.
Have an awesome weekend!!!

Hi Carla,
I was really looking forward to seeing your storage bags for your finished cards but none of the pictures came through on your blog this time. All I got was little boxes with x's in them. I'll try again later!

I'm so impressed with your organization . . . I don't even think about being more protective of my cards (ie., the clear bags). Excellent tips. Hugs, M
Great idea Carla. Thanks for sharing your source for the clear bags.
