After doing my December Daily, I have decided to not use rounded corner PL cards anymore. So no offense to Becky Higgins, but I will be doing away with my 2 core kits and only using regular corner cards. (I am not going to throw the cards away, just using them for different things and giving some away to family.)
I subscribe to Gossamer Blue's Life Pages kits already and love them, and I'm not looking for any more places to subscribe to. But looking for places I can buy/print digital PL cards. Any suggestions? I do have the Becky Higgins PL app on my phone and I know I can print their cards with non-rounded corners, which I have done. Just looking for more options.
Thanks.

You can probably cut down the rounded cards and mat them onto cardstock or 6x6 paper (with how thin the core kit cards have gotten, it won't really add much bulk, lol) to make them square.  In terms of digital cards, I'm not sure. I know you used to be able to buy the SU PL branded things from SU, but now they are exclusive to the PL app and the PL digital shop. I highly suggest looking on Etsy because you'll likely see a huge variety, but you'd also be supporting small business. |

The Lilypad is one of the hybrid scrappers' favourite places to shop at. They have quite a selection of designers to choose from. You can search for journaling and filler cards only if you don't want to face the sea of kits, embellishment packs, background papers, etc. Etsy has quite a few digital shops from smaller designers who cater to Project Life. You can also check whether your favourite designers on a CT offer products directly from their own online shop linked to their blog/website/social media. Random examples: Geralyn from In A Creative Bubble's online shop or Kelly Purkey's digital download section. As for Becky Higgins' PL products: you're not restricted to the app, you can also buy directly from the digital shop (either an entire kit or just the one type of cards). If you did DD this year with official AE products, you may want to check who did your kit if you really enjoyed their work: - Ali herself offers digital downloads including for card printables - you'll find some Jasmine Jones in Studio Calico's digital shop ( here's their printable card selection) - Liz Tamanaha is over at The Lilypad under the name Paislee Pressetc. There are so many options out there! I'd suggest you start figuring out what style you like the most, research which designers cater to it and then look these designers up individually to make your way directly to their own little online shop. So many offer digital downloads in the PL/pocket documenting world these days. Following your faves on social media could also bring you certain perks like the occasional freebie... Personal advice: keep your very favourite rounded cards. It's likely that in time you'll be ok with mixing in the occasional rounded corner card. I was highly against it at first but can throw in an "old style" PL card here and there these days.

I did not use Ali Edwards stuff for my DD. I had TONS of Christmas paper from years past and used that. I have no idea how to find designers. I guess I don't follow stuff that close. I am also not on any social media. I used to use both rounded and non-rounded cards together in my PL and it never bothered me that they were mixed and still doesn't, just prefer all squared corners now. I do add rounded PL cards to my regular 12x12 scrapbooking. Love how they look tucked in behind photos and or other papers. I am keeping all the "camera" cards from the Jade Project Life core kit. LOVE those!!! |

I think she means Elle's Studio. shopellesstudio.com is the site and there should be a prominent link to her blog there. I didn't even think to mention them because you said non kit clubs and they could be considered a kit club, but also kind of not because you can do one-off purchases (she has other things besides the monthly kits)...but their kits are $10 (under $3 shipping in the US) on release day every month (the 10th) and then $11.99 the rest of the month. I'm addicted (and using it on a page right now) to her stuff! She has a lot of the same (or very similar) color families that Bella Blvd uses so a lot of their stuff mixes well. I tend to pull out my Bella Blvd sticker sheets (the 2x6, 2x12, 12x12 and tiny word ones) most of the time when I'm using Elle's Studio goodies now. If you also love stamps, you'll probably find a lot to love about her shop. |

MAMBI has pocket cards that are square. Plus they are easy to find in a big box store. Of course you could also get cut apart pages. Simple stories always has a lot.

Since studio calico made the switch, I can only think of core kits /BH that still have the rounded corners!

If you don't mind ordering, Stampin' Up has square corners on their PL cards. I see that was mentioned above. I quite like their cards. Lots of paper lines now have great cut apart sheets too. Simple Stories has been doing it for years, but I find most lines now have at least one sheet that you can cut apart and have square corners. I find I tend to do most of my pocket scrapping using these cards, paper scraps, die cuts and 6x6 pads. I also love the idea mentioned by scrapaddict702 about trimming and mounting the cards with the rounded corners. I have done this and really like the look. I like the square corners too, but do mix from time to time, usually not on the same page though. As someone who has way too many PL cards I have come to a point where I use them just like paper scraps now. If I need to punch something out, or cut a small embellishment, I will often go through PL sets in the colour scheme I need and use those. I have so many repeats that it's one way to help me work through them. |
