DIY Recipe Cards from Scrapbook Paper
Have more scrapbook paper than you know what to do with? Make recipe cards with it! A simple and practical use.
I have oodles of scrapbook paper in my stash of crafty things. I’ve spent some time scrapbooking in the past, but I’m not good at it. Also, I don’t like the pressure of it. Sounds funny I know, but scrapbooking makes my heart pound and my palms sweat, but not in a good way. Too much pressure to make a perfect page. Cut a picture…are you kidding me!? And how can I possibly choose just the right photo to make a page? Ackk! Just too much for me.
So what to do with all my leftover beautiful paper? It’s too pretty to be wasted sitting at the bottom of my closet. Then I found myself needing more recipe cards, and I didn’t feel like buying any, so why not make them! So made them I did.
How to make recipe cards with scrapbook paper:
- Each 12 x 12 sheet will make 6 recipe cards at 6 x 3 inches.
- I used a paper cutter to make cut out these cards. So simple.
Have a happy day!
yep, good thinking! thanks for sharing!
Great idea! I’m another one of those with tons of scrapbook paper but (after several attempts) I don’t scrapbook. These would make great gifts–filing this one away for later! Did you use really heavy paper or did you back it with some cardstock?
love this idea!!!!! I have so much scrapbook paper as well!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
This is a great idea, I think I might put a few of these together for Mother’s Day, thanks for the inpsiration!
I’m gonna do this for wee Xmas prezzies for my neighbors. Thanks for the idea.

Who makes this paper that you have chopped up for recipe cards? I love the colors and would love to know who makes it. Thanks! Kristy sweetkjodesigns@aol.com
Can I know where I can buy the colorful scrapbook paper you have here.
Hi Veronica! I found it Michaels years ago…I don’t think they still have it now though. Sorry about that!
