30+ Free Printable Recipe Cards: {A Nice Collection}

Tipnut.com

This amazing website has heaps of great ideas, from cleaning tips to DIY projects - it's got them all.:)
I especially like these free, printable recipe cards. I have a recipe card collection but they don't look as professional as the ones at this site. Sometimes I put the card files on a usb stick and take them down to the local photo shop and print them out on photo paper. The cards I print out at home I then laminate as it's an ink jet printer and if the ink gets damp it'll smudge.
