Printable Recipe Cards

About this freebie

This free download features two lined 4x6 inch printable recipe cards on a standard US Letter page. The design uses a warm palette of ivory, tomato red, leaf green, sunflower, sky, and charcoal. You will receive a 1 page PDF at 300 dpi, plus the same page as image files. These cards are perfect for recording favorite meals for your family albums or creating handmade gifts. The 8.5 x 11 inch sheet includes light dashed cutting lines to help you trim the cards out neatly.

How to use it

• Print the PDF on heavy white cardstock at 300 dpi for sturdy cards that will hold up well in the kitchen.
• Use a metal ruler and a craft knife along the light dashed cutting lines to get perfectly straight 4x6 inch edges.
• If you want to learn more about printing at home vs photo lab, check your printer settings to ensure you print at actual size.
• You can open the image files in your photo editing software to type your recipes onto the lines before printing.
• Print at 100 percent (actual size) so the cards keep their size.
• Matte cardstock gives the best result for cards and tags; do a test print on plain paper first.
