Handwritten recipe card template

Index card stock, a neat print hand and a felt tip — the family recipe card, reproducible for a whole box.

Index card stock is firm and only moderately absorbent, so felt-tip strokes stay solid without spreading into mush.

The neat print hand keeps ingredient lists scannable, which is what a recipe card is actually for.

Type once and export a set — perfect for wedding favours, gift boxes and preserving a relative's recipes in a readable form.
