Remember when I posted this Card Organizer last week and I promised that a video tutorial was coming? Well it's ready!!! Here's a picture of the original Card Organizer I made...
and here's the one I made in the video tutorial...
I know you'll need the measurements for the cardstock and the score lines so here they are.
Cardstock for the Box (Bashful Blue)
- One piece cut to 7 1/2" x 12". With the 12" side going across the top, score it at 2 1/2", 5", and 10 1/2".
- One piece cut to 7 1/2" x 8". With the 8" side going across the top, score it at 2 1/2".
- Two pieces cut to 6" x 5 1/4". With the 6" side going across the top, score it every 1/2" (1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5", and 5 1/2")
Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper for decorating the box
- Two pieces cut to 7" x 5"
- Three pieces cut to 7" x 2"
Real Red cardstock to layer under the Designer Series Paper
- Two pieces cut to 7 1/4" x 5 1/4"
- Three pieces cut to 7 1/4" x 2 1/4"
Other supplies
- Two jumbo eyelets
- 4 pieces of hemp twine cut to 6" each
- 16" of Real Red wide grosgrain for the handle
- Dimensionals
- Crop-a-dial
- Sticky Strip
- Velcro Dot
- Any other items you want to decorate the box. I added some Real Red wide grosgrain and a cherry scalloped circle medallion on the front flap of the box.
Originally the video was around 15 minutes long. YouTube only allows you to upload 10 minute long videos so my husband and I had the difficult job of making the video shorter. It may be slightly choppy as it transitions from scene to scene, but all the content is there and you should be able to follow it and make your own box. Enjoy!
If you get an error saying "video no longer available," try refreshing your screen (F5).
Super!! Fantastic job Dannie...will have to try on of these soon!!! Very soon!! Kelly

Your tutorial was great, you made it look so easy. Just to let you know, the sound was really low and couldn't be turned up.
Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial. Enjoy your blog.
Thanks again.

Dannie, thank you so much for taking the time and effort it took to make video tutorials for those of us who are newbies. It makes all the difference in the world to read it, see it, and do it. Many thanks to your patient and savvy husband for helping you!
You are both so generous, thanks for sharing!

I rec'd the link from your downline and WOW am I glad she shared it. This is definitely something I will be making several of. I can picture it being used for coupons, recipes, cards, pictures and so much more.
I so appreciate the time it took you to make the video and please thank hubby for helping to get it to the right time length.
Thanks soooo much.

Thank you so very much. This is a fantastic tutorial. I am going to make several for Christmas presents with lots of cards inside. It is very hard to find totes to fit cards. It's either too big or too small. Again, Thank you. BTW, your organizer came out so pretty. Can't wait to get started.

YOU ROCK! I've always have a hard time following instruction. I'm more a visual person when it comes to doing things. I love that card organizer...I will do it RIGHT NOW! Thank you for a wonderful instruction. KEEP IT COMING OK!

The tutorial was so easy to follow and I thought the transitions were well done. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. How did you make the dividers that you show in the pictures? Are they attached at the bottom somehow?

Wow Dannie, this is fantastic. I am going to my scrap room RIGHT NOW and make one. I was trying to think of something for my daughters' teacher for an end of the year gift and this is it!! I will add to it 10 personalized note cards for her and I do believe that she will love it!! (She has really enjoyed little things that I've made her over the course of the year and is constantly asking my daughter how I do them :) Thank you SO MUCH for sharing and your video was wonderful!
