Free Printable Recipe Cards

Free printable recipe cards are a wonderful way to keep track of your important family recipes and new recipes you find. This huge list of recipe cards will give you so many options in styles and colors.

WHY HANDWRITE RECIPE CARDS?

I know there are tons of different online recipe banks you can use. It is easy to print recipes off from blogs and online recipe sites. I do the same thing and put them into a binder.

I do still believe in handwritten recipe cards though. As I have gotten older I have realized how important the handwriting of our loved ones will be to use later in life.

Writing our most important recipes on recipe cards doesn’t take long and can bring joy to many people in future years.

These recipe cards can be passed down to the next generation so the family recipes stay in the family!

I have actually used handwritten recipe cards in a family cookbook. It is so nice to see my grandma’s handwriting when I open to one of her recipes.

WHY USE PRINTABLE RECIPE CARDS

I will be honest and say that recipe cards are not found as often in stores as they used to be.

Most I have seen are plain and boring. Luckily there are lots of very talented bloggers out there who have created beautiful, colorful and imaginative recipe cards.

This huge list of free printable recipe cards offers so many options you will find one you love for sure.

I like to print these recipe cards off on white cardstock and they can be trimmed down with a paper cutter if needed to fit your recipe box.

RECIPE BOXES FOR PRINTABLE RECIPE CARDS

Once you decide which of these free printable recipe cards is best for you it is time to get a recipe box to keep the cards in.

Here are some attractive recipe boxes:

This Old Wooden Podium Recipe Box is vintage and beautiful. This has a small ledge to sit the recipe card on the top.
A Mabel and Maude Decorative Metal Recipe Box has a beautiful floral elegance.
This rustic wood recipe box is timeless and will last for generations.
A white farmhouse style recipe box is small and fits with a white themed kitchen.

There's nothing like hand written recipe cards to say "I love you"! There is something so sentimental about them. Whether you pass them on to your kids, or have been given them from a family member or friend, they mean so much. Everyone has special family recipes that need to be preserved, and what better way then writing the recipes down? Here are some recipe card options to fit whatever style you like!
