The full pack: 12 designs that match across every size

What you can do with the pack
Type, then print
Open a fillable PDF, click a field, and type the title, servings, times, ingredients and steps. Save a copy for each recipe. Text prints crisply, with no handwriting to decode later.
Handwrite on lined cards
Print-ready sheets put two lined cards on one letter page with crop marks. Fronts and backs are on facing pages, so two-sided cards line up.
Organize a box or binder
Tabbed 4x6 and 5x7 dividers for recipe boxes, full-page binder dividers with a section list, and an index page in every design.

Questions
Which programs open the fillable PDFs?
Any PDF reader with form support, which includes the free desktop readers and the viewers built into most browsers and phones. Fields are plain text boxes with no scripts. Save a copy for each recipe so the blank stays clean.
Can I print on 4x6 index cards or photo paper?
Yes. The 4x6 and 5x7 fillable files are exactly card-sized, so pick that paper size in the print dialog and print at 100%. If your printer won't feed small stock, use the 2-per-sheet files on letter cardstock and trim. The printing guide covers settings and paper weights.
Is there an A4 version?
Not yet. The binder pages are US letter (8.5 x 11 in). They print fine on A4 with "fit to page" turned on, with slightly wider margins.
Can I use the cards in a gift?
Yes. Printing a family cookbook or filling a recipe box to give away is exactly what the pack is for. Please don't resell or share the template files themselves.
