Business Cards Get a Home

My husband and I both collect Business Cards for people that have work for us, for people we are frequently in touch with, and for business, we may use someday but then maybe we never will. Along comes that time when a need arises and we know we have a card but where did I put it? Did I save it or did my husband? This just occurred lately. It took some searching and too much time to finally come up with the card. It was time to organize our cards.
My original CD plastic holder
I decided to use this old CD holder as my Business Card holder. I removed the 2, 3, 4 plastic shelves. Since the shelves were plastic, I only had to break them with pliers and pull them out.
Pliers snapped the plastic easily.
I also removed 6, 7, and 8, shelves, leaving me 3 shelves for our cards.
As you can see there is a cutout on each plastic shelf. These need to be filled in. I made a template of the cutout which I painted 3 different colors.
Template in pencil.
Painted template.
I cut out the template and applied Liquid Nails around the edges of each template using a small art brush. Then I pasted the template on the upper side of each shelf covering the cutout on the plastic shelves.
The templates inserted.
The Business Card holder is now functional. I divided the Business Cards into 3 categories: Those we use regularly. Those we might use. Those we probably won't use, but we had better keep the card just in case.
The finished project. I placed the holder on the desk in our kitchen. No more searching and/or losing cards. I love knowing where each card is located.

    I don't even know what to advise you, because I have never used such business cards. I simply did not have any opportunities to connect my life with them, because I was helped by a website that solved all my problems.

    I've been in business for about 3 years and all I know about this topic is business cards are meant to spread awareness about your business. you really don’t know who will buy your services or products so you should give them to the people you find interested in your business or to those who can help you spreading awareness about your business. You can also get quality and creative business cards printed from Axiom Print. They can provide you unique ideas to make your cards look better.
