Good Morning. I've been going through my templates and instruction sheets for different cards that I have gone to workshops. I just have them scattered all over the place. I do try and keep them in one place but you know how that goes. I had started this a long time ago but just never finished it or kept it up. Since I got frustrated the other day looking for my Gift Box Card template and instructions, I decided I have to get all these organized. So I found my gigantic notebook I had started and made my template for my Gift Box Card and put it in my page protector. I'm going to Walmart to see if I can find some of the quilting plastic that quilters use to make their templates so I can make my templates for my paper crafts. What I did for my gift box card, I taped my paper template to some thin cardboard and cut it out. The paper template is taped to the top of the cardboard cut out and so I can see the folds the lines that I need to draw. So put a copy of the paper template, my cardboard cut out and a sample of the card all into the page protector. So now I have a sample and the instructions and template all in one place. I don't have colored printer, otherwise I would have just included a colored print of the sample card. How do you keep your templates and instructions organized?
My Tip: When I get templates that I want to keep and use over and over again. I cut out my template onto cardboard or I buy plastic sheets in the quilting dept at my local fabric/quilt store to make templates. And I keep my cut out, paper copy and instructions in a page protector in my large notebook. And I have all my templates in one place for a quick reference.
