Greeting Card Keeper Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*


I'll tell you what...some of the great ideas that people come up with! This will solve a lot of problems for those of you who love to keep their greeting cards.

For an organizer...Greeting cards can be one of those..."Oh no...she has all the greeting cards that anyone ever gave her from the time she was a baby" ....moments.
People have a hard time getting rid of them.
What do I normally tell them and what I am still going to stick to even with this product?
Save only those greeting cards that are VERY memorable and that have personal messages inside. If it is card from graduation 20 years before and it was from a friend of your parents that you hardly knew...throw it out! (recycle is best)
But if it was a Mother's Day card that your child wrote a special heart felt message in to you...then it is ok to keep it.
But here is a solution to the "keeping it" cards!
These albums not only let you slid your greeting cards into a sleeve to protect...it lets you slide your OPEN card into a sleeve so not only can you see the front...you can see and read the inside. So simple...yet ingenious!

She has 2 size albums - Large albums hold cards with a closed dimension of up to 9-1/4" X 5-3/4" in size.
Medium albums hold cards with a closed dimension of up to 8" X 5" in size.
There are several colors available and they are very reasonably priced. $10-$16.99 and that includes the card sleeves.
I really think these are great! You can keep your special cards protected from damage and be able to look at them anytime you want to enjoy. They are not stuck away in some box in the basement or stuffed in drawers.
To me the only negative I see is that even the large is not going to fit some of those really large cards you get, but the majority of your greeting cards will fit into one of these 2 albums.
The other issue I noticed was that I had a card that had several folds in it (one that stretched out) But I just put it so that the front showed and then the end page where the personal message was written and that is what is most important anyway. So the couple negatives I noticed really aren't negatives at all.


I would highly recommend these albums if you are someone who does like to save some of your greeting cards, then your can keep these albums on a shelf or place them on a coffee table where they can be enjoyed.

To Buy: Go to Card Memories.com to purchase. The small albums start at only $10.00.

This is a very neat idea Sandy. Mine just pile up in boxes or files. I kept it for the memories, but never get to see why. I like the clear on the best. I would even have one for each holiday or occasion. Christmas, birthdays Cards, etc..
