Cardstock (65 to 110 lb, or about 175 to 300 gsm) feels like a real recipe card. 2 ### Cut Cut along the corner marks. Each card is a standard 4 x 6 inches, so it fits recipe boxes, photo sleeves and binder pockets. 3 ### Fill in Type into the PDF before you print (it works in Adobe Reader, Chrome, Edge and Preview on a Mac), or print blank cards and write by hand. Tip from the kitchen: list ingredients in the order you use them, and keep one action per step. Whoever cooks from your card can work straight down the list.

Scrumptious turns a pasted recipe into a finished recipe card on your WordPress site, with servings scaling, a print button and Google recipe data. It matches your theme, and it is free.

Download and print as many as you like for your own kitchen, gifts and family cookbooks. Please don’t resell the files. ### Can I type into them? Yes. Every card is a fillable PDF. Open it in Adobe Reader, Chrome, Edge or Preview on a Mac, click a line and type. Then print or save a copy. ### What size are they? Each card is 4 x 6 inches, two to a page. There are US Letter and A4 versions of every design. ### Do you have a Word version or a full-page card? Yes. The [recipe card template](https://scrumptiouswp.com/recipe-card-template/) page has a full-page card and 4×6 cards as fillable PDFs and editable Word files that also open in Google Docs. ### What paper should I use? Cardstock between 65 and 110 lb (about 175 to 300 gsm) works in most home printers and holds up in the kitchen. Plain paper is fine for a binder.
