DIY Greeting Card Organizer Binder

My extended family keeps growing and growing. I’m about to become aunt (again) for the third time this year! Between my husband’s family and mine, we have got tons of birthdays and occasions to keep up with throughout the year. The hardest ones for me to remember are all my nieces’ and nephews’ birthdays. I have 18 of them, which means there is at least one if not 2 birthdays per month. I want them each to know I am thinking of them on their special day. The easiest way for me to do that is to send them a birthday card.

I like to stock up on all sorts of Hallmark cards at Walmart because the prices start at just 47 cents each. CENTS! That’s right, you can actually buy something nice for a few pennies. I almost didn’t believe it myself. But it is true. Walmart is the only place you will find Hallmark cards for 47 cents. Be sure to look for them in your Walmart’s Hallmark greeting card section.

Hallmark Cards at Walmart

There are so many cute Hallmark cards! I picked up a variety of the 47-cent greeting cards for birthdays and other occasions. Now that I have all of these cards, I need somewhere to store them until I need them. An organizer binder keeps cards safe and conveniently close. Organizing greeting cards with a DIY Greeting Card Organizer Binder is easy.

One of the main reasons I like using a binder to organize greeting cards is because cards of all sizes will fit inside a protective binder. Another reason to use a binder is because it does not take up much room on the bookshelf. It’s a simple way for me to keep things organized.

How to make a DIY Greeting Card Organizer Binder

You’ll need:

  • A 1 inch binder (hardcover)
  • Clear Sheet Protectors (Top Loading)
  • Hallmark cards
  • Insertable Plastic Dividers

DIY Card Binder Materials

Directions:

1. Label the Insertable Plastic Dividers with card categories. I used a printer to print my labels. Suggested Card Categories: Birthday, Get Well, Congratulations, Thank You, Sympathy, Thinking of You, Wedding and Baby.

2. Insert one greeting card into a Clear Sheet Protector. Repeat this step for each card.

3. Organize cards according to the categories in Step 1.

4. Open the 3-ring binder and insert a labeled plastic divider. Then, insert all of the corresponding cards in their sheet protectors. Move on to the next category divider, followed by the corresponding cards. Repeat until every category divider and its corresponding cards have been inserted into the binder. Close the 3-rings to finish.

For example, start out your binder by adding the divider labeled “Birthday,” followed by all of the Birthday Cards in their sheet protectors. Now you are ready for the second category divider. Once you have added the category divider, follow it with the cards that fit into that category. Repeat this pattern until all of your cards have been inserted behind the proper category in your organizer binder.

    This is such a genius idea! I’ve tried greeting card boxes before but then you have to pull everything out – being able to see all of your cards through the sheet protectors is such a time saver. #client

      Thanks, Kelly! I’m glad you mentioned the benefit of being able to see through the sheet protectors. They do make it simple to see what you have with a quick flip through, and without having to take everything out and put it back in a box. –Nicole

    This is a good idea, I never thought of stocking up ahead of time on cards. Will have to give it some thought.

    I love your card organizer! I need to do that to have cards on hand as well.

    I love this idea! It could also be used to save and organize cards that have been received!

    • Nicole says

      That’s a great idea, Autumn! I like to save all my cards, too.

    That’s a really cool way to keep all your favorite cards in one spot. It would be fun to make it like a scrap book.

  8. Valerie says

    June 29, 2015 at 8:38 pm

    This is such a great idea. I like the idea of always having a greeting card when I need one!

  9. Sarah @ Must Have Mom says

    What a great idea! This would sure beat going out and grabbing greeting cards last minute too. THat’s what I tend to do.

    • Nicole says

      June 29, 2015 at 8:10 pm

      That’s exactly what I am always doing (running out at the last minute). I am hoping (fingers crossed) that having a binder full of cards ready to go will help me out. Thanks for your comments, Sarah!

    I like to stock up on cards. This is a great way to keep them organized. Hallmark makes the best cards.

      Hi Tammy! Hallmark does have some of the cutest cards (have you seen the Minions yet?) I love the low prices, too. You can’t beat 47 cents for a Hallmark quality card. Thanks for stopping by today, Nicole

    Hallmark has a great selection of cards. I like going and reading all the different cards when i have to wait for my Daughter in the store.

  12. Ann Bacciaglia says

    This would be perfect for me. I love to stock up on cards. Hallmark always has the best selection for every occasion.

    This is a great idea to always be prepared!

  14. Dawn says

    June 29, 2015 at 12:08 pm

    This is so great. I have quite a collection of cards. Now I can keep them all in one place.

    • Nicole says

      June 29, 2015 at 8:13 pm

      Hi Dawn! I do that too. Or I buy them and stick them somewhere “safe” until I need them. Then I can’t find where I put them when I need them and end up having to go out and buy more cards. LOL I’m hoping the one-stop binder will keep my card supply organized and easy to find.

  15. Jennifer says

    June 29, 2015 at 12:01 pm

    This looks super cute. I have a bazillion cards all over the place, and this is the perfect way to keep them together. I love that it’s easy to make, too.

    • Nicole says

      June 29, 2015 at 8:14 pm

      Hi Jennifer! You are right, these binders are SO easy to put together. Mine was ready and stocked with cards in about 5 minutes. Thanks for stopping by today!

    We’re big on send snail mail at our house and I can’t tell you how many times we’ve bought cards for specific people/occasions but can’t remember where we put them. Thanks for the idea!!

    • Nicole says

      June 29, 2015 at 8:15 pm

      Hi Cathi, I do the EXACT same thing. I have my fingers crossed that this card organizer binder will be my solution. Thank you for stopping by today!
