Whether you are using the PDF files for blank printable recipe cards or the Word recipe template, here are some helpful tips on ways to print your recipe cards. If you've saved your recipes as recommended above, it will be easy to replace them when they get damaged. Just keep extra blank recipe cards handy. To avoid the hassle of laminating, simply print out another copy if your original card gets ruined. You can use packing tape if you don't have any special laminating paper. Laminating your recipe cards can help protect them against spills and stains as they sit on your counter top. See the section below for various print options. Store all your recipe card files in the same directory on your computer to make it easy to organize and find them later. After adding your recipe, save the file using a descriptive filename. Simply read the instructions and then replace the text with your recipe. In each of the recipe templates above, basic instructions for editing the recipe cards are included on the card.
