Vertically Lined 3x5s?

Has anybody found a source for 3x5s that are vertically lined instead of horizontally? I thought I'd seen them or read about them somewhere, but can't find them.

Thanks!

I found some at Staples a while ago with one end gummed together.

The only place I've ever seen them is Staples -- I like them a lot. OTOH, you could buy 5x8 cards and cut them to size.

Levenger's are pricey at $24 for 500, but the quality is outstanding.

You can print your own pretty easily, but I find it to be more of a pain than it is worth.

Especially if your printer doesn't do 3x5 and you have to cut down from letter-size cardstock.

I'd imagine squared index cards are easier to come by then vertically-lined ones, and you can use them both portrait and landscape.

I've actually been thinking of switching over to grid ruled cards when I run out of the vertically lined pad I'm using right now (cheaper, easier to come by, more versatile).

I forgot about Levengers.... and...

I forgot about Levengers.... and I didn't want the post-it type.

I don't like the "project" cards that are part of the diy hpda core kit, because it has places for "description" and "objective" that I don't need for a lot of my projects and it just wastes space and annoys me by sitting there accusingly, scoffing at me because I'm not filling in those spaces. The nerve!

I just want the vertical lines and then I'll write PROJECT: _____________ on top, I guess.

I did notice that the core kid has some plain vertically lined cards -- maybe I'll try printing a few for now and see if that works okay before I go the Levenger route.

It looks like you found the "Notes" cards in the DIYPlanner kit - I like those too. There are 2 sizes of line spacing for different handwriting sizes. If the current ones don't have them, let me know and i'll dig up my prior version for you.

There are also some 'blank"...

There are also some 'blank" cares w/o labels. Grids and lined (both horizontal and vertical).

I wish I knew how to design some of my own. Except I'd probably just screw around with that instead of actually, you know, getting things done!
