    Free Recipe Card Templates : Floral Pop Printable Recipe Cards

    14 February, 2008 by Kip 94 Comments

    example card

    A lot of the work I do involves graphics and design, most of which ends up filtering over into my real, day-to-day life and its arrangements. That means I have all sorts of printed goodies laying around my flat, some of which is used (most of which is in the "really husband, I will do something with this stuff" pile). I made these free recipe card templates on a whim, thinking some of you might get a kick out of something bright, modern, and not a boring and typical 4x6 lined index card in your recipe catalogue. All of these cards are 4x6 inches, so will fit nicely in that aforementioned catalogue box thingie, or whatever it is you use (organised chaos, perhaps).

    Now available in pdf format!

    Based on feedback I wanted to both create a higher quality format and all the cards to be typed on for printing. The result is a pdf document, in which you can add your own text. Please be aware any text you type beyond the realm of the visible card will not show when printed. This seems like common sense but hey, you never know. You can type in and save this format to disk, too.

If so, I'll wait. But I am looking for a way to type all of my recipes to store them neatly. Let me know. Thanks.

      How do I type on the card on the computer?? The card has lines on it and when I type in a recipe, the text does not match the lines on the card. Also, when downloaded, the cards are yellow not white. Help!!!!

        Hi Judi,

        I'm not sure what's going on there... My guess is the yellow is simply highlighting the text areas and won't show when printed, but you would have to do a test print to be sure. As far as the lines go, the text sits on the lines correctly when I try it on multiple computers so I'm completely stumped on that one!

        Hi Martha,

        I don't use a mac but it sounds like you're doing everything right. In order to type on the cards, however, you would need to open them in a program such as photoshop to edit (I originally made these cards to print and hand write on). Perhaps it would be better for you to download the pdf document in the post because you can type and print on the cards in there...

      These are absolutely beautiful. You are so talented!

      I'm wondering if there is an easy way to save each card as a jpg file after I fill it out? I have a huge credit at a photo center, but only for 4x6 pictures. I don't have Photoshop, so the only thing I've figured out so far is to copy your image here and past into paint and add a text box and save each one as a jpg file. Since you're obviously so super creative, I was thinking maybe there was an easier way?

        July 21, 2009 at 8:29 am

        Hmm, good question... In order to save the images individually to take to a photo centre, your idea is probably as good as any other. Interesting idea, to get a photo place to print!

      Hoping this will help someone...Just an update, I filled out the forms in pdf format and then did a print screen for each of the four cards. Then I pasted the print screen into Paint and cropped to 4x6 and printed one on a 4x6 photo card. The quality was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing these!

        Hi Cheryl,

        Glad you like the cards! Unfortunately font licences come with all sorts of agreements, and most of them don't allow you to embed them in software without special permissions and/or extra payments (if at all). I respect any artist's work and always err on the side of caution, never embedding anything that isn't strictly mine.

        The reason I stopped using jpg files is because I had tonnes of queries about why the sizing was wrong- people just want to hit 'print' and have it work, and the only way to make it almost foolproof was via the use of pdf files.

Much easier to work with than an online form that you have to plug the different pieces in, and many other places print out in the wrong size. Here, 4X6 really is 4X6 when it is printed! Thank you!

      Love the cards, and would love if you could save and EDIT them! They are too close to one another & I like to make mine double sided so I have PLENTY of room for my recipes, when I try to print them out double sided, they overlap and are way off. So therefore I have no use for this template. Sad.
