Artisan Wednesday Wow: Index Cards

We got the envelope punch board in our box this month.  
And yeah, it makes pretty amazing envelopes... 
And people have been doing some pretty amazing file folders...
And yes, my life is a bit more unorganized than the "averageeeee... bear.."
"eh, Boo Boo?"
(oh my, I need to stop doing post so late at night...)

And so, I decide to make index cards so that I can organize one little part of my life.
Cards.
 

And every index card needs some friends and a box.
So, why not re-use the box that Stampin' Up! uses to ship their stamp collections in?
"Hey..... is that a pic-a-nic basket..?"
"Eh, Boo Boo?"

I couldn't resist.  If you don't know what I am saying chaulk it up to a Crazy Canuck! But make sure you check out what Cindy is up to!

  5. oh my goodness - I've been searching and searching for a box to keep cards in, and can't find one the right size - silly me, I should be making my own! But, I don't think Stampin' Up! uses this size box for me - is it something like 4.5"x6"?

    2. Oh shoot. This was on my list as I was away when you chimed in! And guess what? I am away again. But based in my memory 8x4.5 inches and then about 4 inches in depth. I cut the the index cards to about 7.5x5.5". But I'll double check when I get home. It's the size of the su inl collection boxes so perhaps ill get a friend to measure for me. Cheers!

    3. Alright - I am all set now!! The box itself is 7.5" wise, 4.5" wide and 4.25" in depth. The cards itself are 7"x4.5 high plus about 3/8" for the tab. Thanks for your patience!
