I love giving and getting cards, but what to with all the cards afterwards has always been a problem for me. I have trouble tossing them, but don't have the storage space to save them all. Last year, when we put down the floor in the attic, I totally reorganized that space and sorted through all the boxes of "stuff" that I had accumulated over the years. Cards were taking up way too much space there. I had several boxes and folders full of cards from past birthdays, Valentine's Day, and other special occasions, most of which I hadn't looked at in years. I decided it was time to cull through the cards, select a few that I couldn't part with (which I keep in the attic in a folder), and finally toss out the rest. I only keep Christmas cards from year to year. I pack those away with my Christmas decorations and toss out the previous year's cards once I send out this year's cards. I do save a few special cards from each year though, especially photo cards.
Last year, after my birthday, instead of packing away all the pretty cards I got, I decided to use another idea for storing them. Binder Rings!
All you need for this project:
Just punch a hole in the corner of the card, add to the 2" binder ring, and you get this:
Much better!! :O)
You can buy binder rings (all sizes) at etsy.com.
Here are a few more ideas using binder rings:
Keep all of those store rewards cards together on one ring in your purse. I did this and it is so handy when shopping.

Mom did this with her Christmas cards last year. They look nice on the coffee table and were handy to look through.

I really love the next idea, which will definitely be an upcoming project for me: Make an address book using 3x5 index cards, cardstock, ribbon, a hole punch, and a binder ring.
