I was at the Flea Market Again!
Lately, I’ve been feeling inspired by getting my supplies organized. I came across this idea on Pinterest Land. I was in search for finding a new way to organize my greeting cards. A vendor was selling these lunch boxes and container related items at the flea market. So, of course this captured my interest to make a greeting card organizer.
If you remember my Gift Wrap & Craft Station Organization I showed where I kept all of my greeting cards.
My intentions were to have everything in one place. It has been working out really great so far but…. I had to shuffle through each card to get the card I wanted.
Inspiration:
Lately, I have been having stationary fever. My inspiration for having something pretty is this adorable gift bag I purchased from Target Dollar Spot. While I was hunting, I came across some pretty file folders as well.
Supplies:
Get some cute paper! The gift bag was my choice you may have seen it a gazillion times but, I love it. I made a photo copy of the gift bag image. Doing so will help the decoupage go on very easily. First, you want to make sure your surface is clean. Apply a thin layer of decoupage onto the paper and a thin layer onto the back of the paper. After applying your image let it dry for 1 hour. Add an additional 1-2 coats so your image is nice and smooth.
Customize Dividers:
To make a template for the greeting card dividers is simple. I purchased file folders from the Target Dollar Spot. They are perfect for this project. The greatest thing about using these file folders is that the tabs are already cut out for you. The bonus…. you get 3 in a pack for only $1
Supplies:
- Box of your choice
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Ruler
- File Folders
- Labels (optional)
- Mod Podge
First, measure the inside of the box then cut out a rectangled shape. Be sure to include the tab top. Trace the template onto your file folder. You can use labels or write on the tabs. I’m lazy so I will be using my p-touch labeler to make labels for each category.
All finished…..
No more rummaging to find a greeting card when I need one. It’s all organized! 🙂

Hi Tasha! The page flags was a gift from a follower on instagram @bemyguestwithdenise I heart them so much too! :)))
This is so cute! I love the design. Thank you very much for sharing.
Your Welcome Nina! It’s such a sweet print. Hugs!!!:)))
When did you cut the paper to be able to open the lid? Was it after the initial drying or after the third coat of mod podge? Thank you.
Great question! After the third coat. I failed to show that I’m sorry. Hugs! :)))
Hey Denise,
OMG! This was such a great video. I don’t know how I missed it. I am going to try this. It would be a great birthday gift or Christmas gift for office friends.
