Even recipes can be cute May 11, 2007
I signed up for a recipe swap over at swapbot. I debated typing my recipes, but I like it when things have a handmade touch, so I thought I would write them all up. I ventured over to my little recipe box and discovered that I am totally out of the ancient (1970’s) recipe cards I stole from my mom, and had only plain 3 x 5 cards. yuck. I decided to design my own, and this is what I came up with:
They are 6 x 5 inches, folding in half to 3 x 5 inches and feature hedgehogs and mushrooms.
I still have some more designs in the works (and I am still longing for some cards bordered with avocado green and little vegetables). In the mean time, feel free to download my design and print them out for free* for your own use. The link below is to a .pdf that will allow you to print out two cards on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper (I recommend cardstock for durability).
*if you use them, and you really like them, you can send me a recipe as a thank you 
thank you! these are fabulous.
darling recipe cards. i saved the file and hope to print some out, soon. what kind of recipes do you like and i’ll send a few to you?
Awesome mushrooms!! You can’t go wrong w/ mushrooms
Just like being in a 1970s kitchen! Very cute.
I love my recipe cards to be handwritten and on cute cards, too. Most of mine are little pieces of are that are splattered with food. It adds to the character. Thanks for the template. I will come up with a nice recipe for you. Do you want them e-mailed or snail mailed (on one of your cards?).
Those cards are cute, nice idea.
I love this! I have been so into recipies lately — trying to cook more. I usually just print them out and try to laminate it or put it in a binder but you’re right. the handwritten touch is the best.
These are so cute! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to write my recipes down on cute cards rather than on scraps of paper/napkins.
Really nice idea!
The mushrooms look kind of like the Super Mario video game mushrooms. I like it! It’s cute!
Awww, these are so cute. Thankyou.
