CUT & SCORED!

I saw this idea on FB and thought it would be nice to have card bases cut & scored.       This isn't a new concept but I liked the idea and the container!  I have always used my Neenah Classic Solar White 110# for white card bases, but I saw that Jennifer McGuire was recommending another heavy weight card stock for card bases.  If you aren't doing any coloring on the card base then why use your more expensive Neenah?  She recommended Accent Opaque White 120#.  You can buy 150 sheets of this heavy weight card stock on Amazon for $16.43 + tax.  As compared to the Neenah Solar White which is a little more expensive, this is a nice alternative for card bases.  I cut & scored the Accent card stock into 60 A2 Side fold card bases, 110 A2 Top Fold card bases, 20 A2 Top fold White Linen card bases and 70 Mini Slimline card bases (which I purchased from Taylored Expressions)  I'm so happy with this project and it didn't take me too long to get all the prep work done and I'll have card bases galore for quite a while!  The container is from Amazon called mDesign Stackable Storage Container.  There are several options for lid colors, but I chose the clear with white lid.  My white plastic dividers are also from Amazon & have used these for several projects in the stamp room for separating categories.  I did have to cut them to size but they are heavy plastic and are great for this type of project.  I love when an organizing project comes together!  👏
