Instructions for home printing
One of the most convenient and quick options is to print your PDF from home.
- Check what the maximum paper thickness is for your printer model. Be aware, paper that’s too thick could jam and damage print heads.
- Visit a paper store or office supply store to view and purchase your 8.5” x 11” or A4 cardstock.
- In your print settings, make sure in the ‘Size Options’ section ‘Actual size’ is selected. Make sure to set your print settings with the correct paper type and the correct quality mode. Colors tend to vary depending on your monitor, printer and cardstock.
- If there is a backside to your printable, print 1 side first, then put the printed page back into your printer to print the other side next.
- If needed, trim your printables with an X-acto knife or use a paper cutter for best results. Scissors can also work. If you have a large quantity to trim, many local copy shops have paper cutters or offer affordable bulk cutting rates.
Instructions for printing at an (online) print shop
If you do not have a home printer or you need to print a large quantity, (online) print shops can be the most cost effective option. They provide many paper options, cutting and their printing quality can be a lot nicer than a home printer. You can either visit a print shop or you can upload your file directly online to some of the bigger print shops (such as FedEx Office, Staples, Vistaprint).

Beautiful vintage cards. Definitely worth getting
The attractive cards brought variety to my recipe boxes. I'm really enjoying them.
Perfect - exactly what I wanted. Finally came across these after searching the internet for ages!
Highly recommend. :)
Easy to use and they are adorable!!
This is the only recipe card out there that you can edit without adding an extra program on your computer! Very easy to use and everything comes out the correct size! Thank you!!
I am impressed with this website. I downloaded this template and it turned out great! There are even lines to be able to cut along for a 4x6 recipe card. I would highly recommend!
I downloaded a recipe card which I absolutely love. The price was free, so can't beat that! And the service was outstanding. I had a question and used the chat feature and got an answer immediately. I then also e-mailed and got a response the same day. Fantastic service. I gave the product a low rating because there is no feature to print it on 4x6 cards which I think is ridiculous because they are recipe cards. There seems to me absolutely nothing I can do to get them printed on 4x6 cards. Which wouldn't be a problem except I have hundreds of cards with designs on one side, I specifically bought for my recipes! I understand that's my problem but I really think that there should be an option to change the size and resolution on the downloaded content to print on a specific size paper.
Fast and easy to use I needed a recipe card for a cookie exchange and these worked out great for me
I really liked them.
They were just what I needed.
Great, Free and I cannot thank you enough!
Great product! Great price! And great website!
These are just perfect! Simple and cute for any kitchen recipe book to get started.
Absolutely loved it re-done all my recipes on it!!

The vintage recipe cards are great, thank you!
My granddaughter really enjoyed this cards
I'm using delightful cards in handmade birthday gifts in books for my friends. Thank you!!!
I love these recipe cards! They are super easy to print out, cut out, and use. I will note, when you are printing, make sure you know if you want ‘fit to page’ or ‘actual size’ as there is quite a difference.
I was looking for recipe cards to use as a kind of guest book for a wedding shower, and these were perfect. Finding these saved me from having to make my own and the price is very reasonable. The recipe cards I purchased were very practical, with a front as well as a back. The email with the printable attachments came almost immediately after purchase. This whole process was very neat and simple, and I am very happy with my purchase!
These recipe cards were easy to download, easy to use and the vintage look was perfect to record my family recipes on. I printed them onto 80# cardstock and they will last a mighty long time! Adobe made these very user friendly! Thanks!
I really loved this recipe template. I had been looking for a long time on Pinterest for a template before I found this one, and when I did I just knew I had to have it. It was actually for a recipe book for my girlfriend so it worked out perfectly!
Thank you for making it so easy! Printed for a family reunion. Your instructions were so helpful, thank you!
I am moving away from my family and wanted to collect my mom's and grandma's recipes to take with me. I did not want to hand-write them all and was hoping to have a cute way to store the recipes. I did a quick Google search for recipe card templates and came across these ones and they were GORGEOUS. I immediately knew these were the ones I wanted. The templates are so nice and, after I figured out how to use my PDF application, I was easily able to input my recipes. I sat down for several hours and went through hundreds of recipes, typing them as I went along. It was so easy and I can't wait to print them out! My only qualm is that sometimes my instructions or ingredients were much longer than the recipe card - so I used a lot of symbols to try to make up for it. I don't think this is a fault in the size of the card, as they are about a half-page each, and probably could have been solved with a smaller font (if only I could read that small!) I am very, very happy with my purchase (and what a great price!)
Very cute and easy to work with!
Overall easy to use and saved me a headache from trying to design myself. This was exactly the look I was going for, I am in love with these recipe cards! I printed on Kraft paper to give it an extra vintage feel! I can't wait to put my new recipe box together.
These products are clean designs that fit perfectly in my every day. The customer service is friendly and goes the extra mile to help you out with any problems you may face.
