I am so excited to share these free printable recipe cards that can be customized by you. Yes, that is right — simply choose a design, fill in your recipe title, ingredients, directions and then print!

This is brand new and we still might have a few bugs. Please give it a try and then give me feedback. If you can think of a way they might be improved, please let me know!

Below are instructions to walk you through the process. Once you are ready to give it a try go to Printable Recipe Cards.

Getting Started

The first step in creating your recipe cards is to select a size. Cards can either be 6″ by 4″, or 5″ by 3″. Two large cards or three small ones will fit on a single sheet of US letter.

If the lower check box is checked, the same recipe will appear on all cards. If not, a different recipe can be placed on each one.

Once a size is selected, click “Next Step” to move to the recipe entry screen.

Editing your recipe

The tabs at the bottom allow quick editing of any part of the recipe card.

Appearance

Use the appearance tab to select a background and layout for the recipe card.

Recipe Information

Enter the name of the recipe, along with the name of the person that created it.

Ingredients

Enter ingredients for the recipe. The toolbar can be used to insert special characters, such as 1/4 and 1/2 measurements.

Directions

Use the directions tab to enter instructions on how to make the recipe.

Printing your recipe

Once all details of the recipe have been entered, use the “next stage” button to move forward. This will either move to the next recipe, or the print preview screen.

At the print preview, clicking the link to the left will display a full size preview in a new window. If everything looks the way you want, just click the print command to create your new cards!

Now you are ready to give the Free Recipe Card Maker a try!

Enjoy!

  1. This is soooo cool! You’re fabulous! Thanks so much for all the hard work, I’ll be linking to this.

  2. Love it! Worked great. Text could be a little darker and I agree with the other posts regarding longer recipes. Super idea though! Thank you!

  3. I love these! I must have had a long recipe though, because my ingredients and directions got cut off. 🙁 Maybe an option for font size for longer recipes? I’ll definitely use them for some of my shorter recipes though – it’s SO nice not having to get hand cramps writing out recipes! My only request is more buttons for 1/3 & 2/3!

    Thanks, they’re beautiful!

  4. Oops, that’s what I get for forgetting to check my link before submitting. Corrected one is under my name on THIS post, sorry!

  5. I tend to hand write recipes I give away since I enjoy reading the writing of recipes given to me by those I love. That said, this would be awesome when giving something as a gift with a recipe or that sort of thing. I linked on my weekly roundup, post is under my name. Thanks for putting it together!

  6. this is too cute!…
    the only think i would have done differently (and i’m not too sure how you would accomplish this on the program), is to allow for a longer listing of ingredients. but as i said i’m not sure how you would do this LOL. it might just have to be a recipe with not so many ingredients ;).
    i used this program to make a copy of my dh’s (late) grandmother’s lasagna recipe as a gift to my sil. she doesn’t have it and i’m giving her this along with the written version (for sentimental reasons).
    thanks again!

  7. LOVE these! Is there any way to print blank ones- without the recipe directions?
    Thanks!

  8. Wow this is such a cool and amazing thing! Don’t have time to play around with them now but will definitely later. Cute.

  9. great idea!! It should be to use it… but in Italy we have only A4 sheets!!
    Bye

  10. Love the reciepe cards! Wish I could get into the other colors though, other than the blue. It printed out great … kind of wish that there was a spelling correction, but I would rather have other colors. Thank you!

  11. These are great, & super cute! I was, however, in need of a pre-formatted 1/3 cup option…it just didn’t look as pretty and uniform when it was printed on my cards.
