Are you addicted to Project Life cards and you don’t even scrapbook? Or maybe you do use them for the intended purpose, but you have so many of the suckers, you need to find other ways to use them before they take over your supplies entirely! Well, if you have a planner or binder, or do other kinds of paper crafts, you’ve already won half the battle! I’ve been collecting lots of ideas, and today I’m sharing 22 ways you can use Project Life cards in your planner and paper crafts.
Project Life Cards in Planners
1. Add a photo and a post it tag, laminate, cut it out and make it movable in your binder by punching a hole in the tab and cutting a slit. I have a small tutorial up here showing you how to do this.
2. Use them on dividers
3. Use to break up space on your planner pages
4. Laminate and use as reusable checklists
I used this 4×6 card with the days of the week to keep tracks of the tasks I need to do every week in my business.
5. Use for adding additional things to a planner page – simply punch holes to place on rings, and add those extra tasks or things to remember.
6. Since they are journaling cards, they are great for writing good memories. or items for your gratitude journal that day or week.
7. Laminate a card and use it to make a mini dashboard with clips and sticky notes
8. Some cards come with a grid design, and you can use these grid cards as a calendar for tracking stuff.
9. Use on your planner dashboard or in the pockets for keeping sticky notes.
10. Keep in your planner to journal on as the day goes by, then add to scrapbook or memory planner.
11. Use as Weekly Goal Cards, or make a weekly tab for your planner. I turned a printable card into a tabbed bookmark.
It sticks out the bottom, so I can easily flip to my weekly plan.
and I can add reminders with sticky notes too!
12. Laminate to use for lists, meal planning etc.
13. Washi to-go cards – wrap washi on to take with you for planning on the go
