This Card and Envelope Storage box holds A2 cards (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") and A2 envelopes (4.375" x 5-3/4") and would also be great for storing similar sized clear stamps, stationery sets, or even storing items on your desk! It is approximately 9-1/4" x 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" and contains two compartments that are each just over 4-1/2" wide. The file is compatible with both the 8-1/2x12 and 12x12 mats.

I think this card and envelope storage holder can be used for other items as well. If lined with a plastic sheet for its interiors, then it is simply perfect to store toiletries for the bathroom. Another interesting way is to use it to store condiments bottles to be served to guests along with their fries and tidbits. There are so many ways to use such DIY storage solutions. All we need are some creativity and low cost materials to start with.
