Printable recipe cards in 4x6 and 3x5 with dividers, backs and index

These printable recipe cards come in two precise sizes, 4x6 and 3x5 inches, with dashed lines for cutting, so you can build a recipe box that is a joy to open. The 27 page set includes six designs, coordinating backs, tabbed dividers, labels for your box and an index, delivered as a PDF in US Letter and A4 for instant download.

Capture family favorites in your own handwriting before they are lost, and find each one in seconds.

How these printable recipe cards keep every recipe in reach

Match each favorite to a card made for it: a classic lined design, a two column layout for ingredients and steps, a baker's card listing oven heat, pan and time, or a speedy weeknight card. Give each card a number, add it to the index and slip it behind the right tab among eight dividers, so you can pull it out in seconds.

When a recipe needs more space, it continues on a back, and the notes back records pairings, the person who shared it and a dated rating each time you cook it. Nothing is dated, so you can print extra cards as your collection grows.

Card sizes and design

• Both files print cards at exactly 4x6 in (two on a sheet) and 3x5 in (three on a sheet), with dashed lines for cutting
• Each divider has a top tab that rises above the cards behind it
• Undated, so extra cards can be printed whenever a new recipe joins the box
