new product arrivals: CARDS!

YES!!! These little beauties have arrived to Amazon’s shelves and all of these boxes are NOW AVAILABLE. Both 3×4 and 4×6 sizes are in stock. On our Products page, click on the PROJECT LIFE ACCESSORIES section and everything there links to Amazon for your convenience. (Sometimes doing a fresh search can be frustrating.)

In case you missed the “vision” …

The Grid Cards are awesome for journaling without having colorful graphics on the card. Super nice when you want to keep things classic … or when you want to decorate the cards with your own custom style.

The White Cards are awesome for the same purpose, but when you don’t want lines. Get it? They’re white. That also means blank. Like – nothing on them at all. Plus they’re great for doodling, kids’ art, a simple/classic background for photos or memorabilia that are smaller than 4×6 or 3×4 … you get the idea.

***NOTE about the 4×6 White Cards: They are supposed to have 100 cards. Some of them do, but they’re a really tight fit and so some of them will actually have 95 cards so that they could fit more comfortably in the box. We were pretty frustrated to learn about this because we are perfectionists … but hopefully this isn’t a big deal to most. I will avoid more details but let me just say (if I’m being totally honest) that we had some frustrations with the USA production this year. I’m barely scratching the surface with that comment, but at the end of the day – we’re so very glad to finally have these products available, and you will LOVE the quality.

Both of these (Grid Cards + White Cards) are items that most Project Lifers will quickly learn they love to have handy. Actually, I always have a little box of Grid Cards in my bag. Sometimes my kids doodle on them during church or while we’re traveling – and what’s nice is then I can slip them right into their Project Life album at home! And … these cards are even awesome for a quick note or gift tag. Same for the Textured Cards.

The Textured Cards are coordinated cards that match each edition of Project Life. We literally got the cardstock from Bazzill Basics (a favorite paper supplier that most of you are familiar with) and then had the cards die-cut with rounded corners. You know – for Project Life.  : ) Here’s a closer look at the textures to give you an idea. These specific colors are from the Cobalt set.

The idea behind the Textured Cards is that you have instant backgrounds to slip into your Photo Pocket Pages when you want to add tickets, receipts, and other random memorabilia that doesn’t perfectly “fill” a 3×4 or 4×6 pocket.

PS – Kinda really big news: The Turquoise Core Kit + Clementine Core Kit are both in stock again as well! Hallelujah! Cherry is still available and Cobalt + Amber aren’t too far behind … another 2-3 weeks we think. I’ll keep you posted.

As a reminder, all products listed on the Products page will have the most updated timing that WE have on when to expect products on Amazon. If you live outside the U.S., be sure to check with your local distributor as seen on our Shop by Country page.

    Eeeee!!! The textured cards are exactly what I was hoping for!!! Thank you for your incredible products!!

  2. Maria V. says:

    Becky & team – these all look fantastic! I have one question – will the textured cardstock be produced/ available for the childhood kits?

    If not, could you comment on which cardstock collection will “go” best with each of the childhood kits?

    Thank you!
    Maria

  3. Claire says:

    I love the idea of carrying a box of the cards with me for my daughter to draw on when we are out. Thanks!

  4. susan todd says:

    WHAAAAA? am i the FIRST person to leave a comment?!?!? LOLOL So excited for the new product, have already placed my order :)

    and Becky, don’t stress about 5 less cards. we all LOVE the product, and I don’t believe that it will be an issue with most of your followers and lovers of PL. I would rather have “nice” cards than “smushed” cards any day!

    thanks again for all you do, hope your brother is doing well. xoxo

  5. susan todd says:

    okay, so clearly I wasn’t the first person to post LOLOL My computer said “no comments”…… :) :):)

  6. brenda says:

    congratulations on the arrival of these practical products. looking forward to using them. Just an idea for the future – perhaps you could make cards with one side grid and the other side blank.

  7. Rachel says:

    Anyone else having trouble viewing the cardstock photos in safari? I’m so excited to see them and they’re not showing up. :(

  8. Yeah!!! These are awesome- working on the Cherry edition in this years book and I can’t wait to add these!

  9. Lisa S. says:

    are there going to be coordinated cardstock cards for the new kits coming in november as well? (seafoam and olive?) just wondering since i didnt see any info on that…. thanks!

    • Mentioned above: We are all anxious to see how “well received” these little boxes of Textured Cards are – so that we can determine if it makes sense to continue producing these for other editions that are on the way.

  10. Angie W says:

    Got my order in for both the 3×4 and 4×6 Cobalt textured cards, as well as some of the plastics I’ve been wanting to add to my album. The only thing I couldn’t get was one of the organizational trays to switch my supplies from the box to the tray. All in all, I’m a happy scrapper!! :-)

  11. Charlene says:

    I love these cards. I’ve already pre-ordered mine here in Australia.

    When do you think the Turquoise paper will be available again?

    What great products you have.

    • We have the 12×12 Designer Paper on hold for right now (the editions that are sold out) BECAUSE of sooooo much other product that is currently in production. We can’t do it all at one time so we prioritized the new stuff for now.

  12. Leslie says:

    I just ordered a bunch of these cards to use. I am loving Project Life. Becky you have set me free from my stress about my scrapbooking being so far behind!

  13. Nicole says:

    They’re all great, as always! I should tell you, too, that I was at AC Moore today getting another album (they sell the We R Memory Keeper albums and I can get them half off — sweet) BUT, there was a lady there talking about how far behind she was, so, that was the perfect time to introduce her to you :) I LOVE that and knew you would, too.

  14. Anna says:

    Yay! Have been doing this very thing cutting 12×12 card stock. Thing will save me a lot of time. Thank you again.

  15. Christy says:

    I am soooo super excited about these!! Ordering mine now!!!! I have to share with you that I took some of my extra journaling cards from previous years to work (I teach 4th grade) and had my kids write their reading goal for the month of September on them and they LOVED it! thanks for such great products!

  16. Dawn says:

    Oooooooo, love these! Bazzill is the best and this will make my life so much easier. I’ve spent a LOT of time cutting the matching kit paper to size to use as backgrounds. :)

  17. Heather N. says:

    Love the cards. I just ordered the Cherry album, core and pages so they should arrive next week. With a new puppy in the house I am looking forward to taking photos weekly and having an easy way to capture it all. I will still do ‘regular’ scrapbooks for trips, etc, but now I will have a way to capture life. I so wish I had found you earlier!

  18. Susan C says:

    I have been waiting for these, wow, thanks Becky for once again coming up with just what I wanted.

  19. Carrie says:

    Just when I think PL can’t get any better, Becky does it again!

    Thank you for all your hard work and amazing ideas!

    You are a blessing!

  20. Meghan Morden says:

    Thanks for all the great products. You have really found a way to use your creativity and genius to bless others. Thank you for all you do for families and lovers of documenting life!

  21. Kathy L says:

    Love the idea of carrying cards with you. Kids say the darnedest thing and then you can’t remember it.

    A great big “thank you” for Made in the USA! Hopefully next go round will be easier.

  22. Tiffany H. says:

    So excited–I just ordered my first PL kit–turquoise edition! The new coordinating cardstock cards look wonderful! I can’t wait to receive my order!

  23. Hilary Frye says:

    Yahoo!! So exciting! Love the packaging! So fresh!

  24. Carrie Alexander says:

    Question-will these be part of the “regular” line? I seem to recall back in your discussion about US printers vs overseas that you weren’t sure if you’d be able to carry these all the time…I hope I was just imagining that! Can’t wait to get my kit for next year so I’m really hoping the 2013 editions, the childhood, and baby editions will also have the Bazzil cards available! Genius idea!!!!

    • Grid Cards are absolutely a STAPLE with a proven track record. The White Cards + Textured Cards are available now for the first time ever, so we really have to see how they do … and that will determine if we keep them in production and add them to the line-up for the new editions coming out.

  25. katie says:

    I haven’t ever ordered any PL Grid Line cards. Are they smooth to write on? Are they easy to write on? Are they slick were it is hard to find pens to write on them without the ink going on smoothly?

  26. Randa says:

    Whoohooo! This made my day! New to PL, and I’ve been stalking Amazon for the Clementine core kit :) Just added it and some of these awesome new cards to my cart. So excited!

  27. Julie S. says:

    I’m not sure if I am more excited about using these for my Project Life albums or for card making… SO excited to get them and play!

  28. Marie Q says:

    1 question & 1 comment :)
    Q: I see in the cobalt sample that there is white included. Do all the kits have some white cards in them? Not sure if I need to order a whole box of white if I’m ordering 3 others (cobalt, turquoise, cherry).
    C: I second Brena’s suggestion of cards blank one one side & grid on the other.
    Thanks for all your wonderful products! Keep em coming!

    • Great question Marie. Two comments:

      1. Yes, there is White in every box of Textured Cards. The White is custom-matched for each edition’s set of colors, so they’re not exactly the same from edition to edition.

      2. Keep in mind that these are Textured Cards. There are a variety of textures in each box, but for the most part – don’t count on smooth white cards. If you want a smooth texture, those can be found in the little boxes of White Cards.

  29. Debi says:

    Love these!!!

  30. Brooke Johannsen says:

    LOVE these!! I also love that they came out yesterday. . .on my birthday! I was able to order them (from work. . .shhhhh!!) and call it my “birthday giftie to myself”! Thanks again, Becky! You all ROCK!!

  31. Tammy says:

    I literally ordered one of everything. I can hardly wait to get home from work on Tuesday to open my Amazon packages!!! Project Life has re-energized my scrapbooking. And I’m having so much fun as an empty nester, going through years gone by and reliving the memories. Good times. Thank you, Becky Higgins!

  32. Wende says:

    I talked my hubby into getting me the Clementine kit and matching 3×4 cards, plus 3×4 cards for my 2012 Cobalt kit. I wanted the 4×6 cards for both as well but I will have to wait on those. All of this PL stuff this summer/fall is making my dreams come true as far as my memory-keeping efforts are concerned. I can’t wait to get this stuff on Tuesday! I don’t even have a true purpose for the Clementine kit yet lol but don’t tell my hubby. I wanted to grab it while it was available.

    Please make these cardstock products for the new kits!! I don’t even have them yet but I can tell they are going to be amazing :) Oh, and I need a wedding mini-kit asap! The baby kits will get my hubby and my childhood scrapped in no time but I haven’t gotten our wedding done yet (12 years).

    Thanks again!

  33. Melissa says:

    Oh, Becky – where to begin? I ordered one of everything tonight that is newly available. I’m newer to Project Life but have the Cobalt and Cherry kits to play with. I’m so excited to have Turquoise & Clementine to add to my PL arsenal. ;) I cannot believe how liberating this method of scrapbooking is! I’m so excited to take your Big Picture class – and more cards are coming in the mail?!? Eeeeeeeeee! ;) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    p.s. BIG hugs to your brother & your entire family. Our family has been praying for you all.

  34. Merrianne says:

    Yay! I’ve been looking forward to getting 100% matching Bazzill card stock for project life!!! Can’t wait to get and use these. Thank you

    Just a suggestion…I’d love to see the matching Bazzill card stock in a 6 x 12 size for all the PL editions. Or even a list of the colors that match and you used for these cards, as I would buy them and cut them down if I needed/wanted something a bit more in my albums.

    Thanks bunches

  35. Christine says:

    Thank you team Higgins!!!
    I just order my matching card stock from Amazon. I am over the moon about these products.
    Keeping your brother and his family in my prayers.

  36. LeAnne B says:

    Love the cards! I came back from a long weekend to see the white 4×6′s all ready gone. Drat! You know how to make a good product. ;)
