I have a passion for old family recipes. I love seeing the handwriting of my grandma On old yellow recipe cards. Some of her recipes were and journals. My aunt has made copies to share with other family members.
I created a simple clean binder with the recipe templates along with recipe templates for 3 x 5 cards.
Since this is the principle you can print as many as you wish. Print one for yourself, print another binder for your neighbor. And give the gift of a stack of recipe cards tied in a pretty ribbon to your hairdresser.
The printable includes a spine to add to the binder along with a cover. I order these 1-inch binders on Amazon.
I print the spine, cover and recipe cards on cardstock.
The recipe pages for the binder on regular copy paper.
The recipe cards are aligned so that you can print on front and back.
My printer prints on front and back and it the best printer I’ve ever had! Bought it in 2014 and works like a charm. If your printer doesn’t, simply flipped the paper over and refeed into the printer.
I quickly cut out my recipe cards using this paper trimmer. Tip: Cut the sides first, then cut across the width of the paper.

Hi there! I recently had a baby and I’m complying a binder of family favourite recipes from my family and my husband’s big traditional Italian family! We love our food! Thanks and I can’t wait to read through more of your stuff!
I love chicken divan! and I would love your recipe binder printables!
Thanks,
Carla
Carla, I sent your printable by email. Thank you for following Country Design Style.
I did not receive my free printable. Can you send it to me?
Monica, I just sent a download link to your email. Sorry, it gave you trouble.
HI! Is there a way to change the wording on the front page? I was just thinking I would like to change Family Recipes to Favorite Recipes.
Hi, Lisa, Yes. You can add the title page to a word document. Then add a shape in white over the text you wish to remove. Adjust the shape to hide “family”. Then add a text box with the text you would like on the cover. Then print. on card stock.
Does your design only fit 1″ binders? I am looking for a cover and spine for a 2″ binder. Thank you!
Hi Lisa, Thanks for your question. You can do two different things to get a 2? spine. Number one is to simply cut it and slide the spine printable into a 2-inch binder. The text will be a bit smaller on the binder. Or you can add the spine page to a word document and enlarge to the size you wish. I hope that helps you. Thank you for following Country Design Style.
OK, thank you!
This recipe printable is so cute! I’m excited to use it, but I’ve submitted my email and am not receiving it.
Carissa, have you checked your email? Your download will start from your click in the email. I’ll send you another email just in case there was a hiccup. Thank you for following Country Design Style.
Thank you
You are so very welcome. ~Jeanette
Hi! I’d love to receive the free recipe binder print outs. I submitted my email, but haven’t received them.
Val, I sent the link directly to you. Thank you for following the DIY madcap adventures at Country Design Style!
Really like your site!! And your recipe cards and binder. Its fresh clutterfree and easy to the eyes.
Until now I have used the recipe cards that need to be handwritten (😝). And since my kids want the family recipe,… all of them in a matching binder(and typed) is a lovely gift in a basket with the ingrediënts of their favoriet dish in it! !
Thanks for your generosity!!!
Warm greetings from the Netherlands!
