Don't you love how easy it is to find a recipe these days? Hop on a blog, check out a website, email a friend and, boom, seconds later, the recipe you were searching for...
or maybe the recipe you didn't even know you needed...is printing out and in your hot little hands.
But you know what I miss? Recipe cards.
Sweet recipe cards. Recipe cards written out in
actual handwriting. Recipe cards that evoke memories as soon as your see them...not just of the recipe, but of the person who wrote them.
When I was in my 20's, I asked my mom to write down some of her recipes for me....she gave me a whole recipe box of them.
Now, the "recipe cards" are actually index cards, but I wouldn't trade seeing her handwriting on them for the world.
Invitation Consultants emailed me about their recipe cards and I did a little happy dance. I mean...how CUTE are these?!?
They have many different designs...and they are customizable! Recipe cards make a perfect gift for a bridal shower, housewarming, birthday, or well, for
yourself.

ReplyDeleteHow am I supposed to decide?! They are adorable! I guess I would chose the serving pot set.
ReplyDeleteI love the striped recipe card you've featured and the bright stripes card (I really like stripes). My cousin & aunt gathered may Gran's recipes, many written in her own hand, and compiled a book for each of us as a Christmas present. So many happy memories in those pages.
ReplyDeleteI love the mason jar design! So cute! I also have a set of handwritten recipe cards from my grandmother that I cherish.

ReplyDeleteThey're all so cute, but I really love the bright stripe pattern.

ReplyDeleteDotted Delight would be my pick. I'm an old fashioned cook who loves to write out my recipes. I often share them with guests after dinner at my home. What a delightful giveaway

ReplyDeleteI love the houndstooth cards---they're so me!!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Tools is my favorite!!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteI made my 31 year old daughter a recipe box for Christmas with all of her favorite recipes. And on the dividers I pasted family pictures of our past fun times together. She loved it and I know will cherish it forever.
I like the yellow stripe ones the best. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the sailor cards, and also the striped ones in yellow!
ReplyDeleteThe Family Favorite Recipe Card is my personal favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat houndstooth design is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI would pick the Serving Set Recipe Card set. I love written-down recipes, I'm trying to get all my printed recipes copied down so I have them in my box--thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think I would pick the Mason Jar ones and get them for my Mom. I think they would be a lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the brownkraft! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI just did this as an xmas gift for my step children! I wrote out all of our family recipes. My step son, in his 20's, keeps sending us photos of the things he makes. He loves it! I love the houndstooth or the kitchen tools. I love the idea that they are personalized!
ReplyDeleteI love the multicolored chevron stripe cards! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI have a box of recipes from my mom. This is such a cute idea to be able to have personalized cards. I'm torn between criss cross utensils and striped... I think. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the pink "Kitchen Tools" layout.
I love the mason jar cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! I love handwritten things. I would probably chose the Kitchen Tools Recipe Card or the Criss Cross Utensils Recipe Card!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I like the serving set cards. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd totally get the Damask cards. They're adorable!
ReplyDeleteThey're all fun, but I'd probably go with the Bright Stripes Recipe Card. melisa93 at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI would chose the Kitchen Supplies recipe card. Love the side bar to put ingredients, etc.!
ReplyDeletetarntzen@live.com
The criss cross utensils are too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the chevron in turquoise!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never seen so many cute personalized recipe cards! If I had to pick just one, that would be hard ~ I'm loving the Kitchen Tools and Sailor's Delight recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteI'd totally go for the cupcake cards...so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThere is something special about handwritten recipes. I love the idea of having a collection and passing it down to my children.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many cute designs....I do really like Kitchen Tools.
ReplyDeleteHoundstooth Brown! I think they're perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't decide! I like the Bright Stripes one, and the Mason jar one, and the Apron one, and...
ReplyDeleteOoh those are incredibly cute! I think Houndstooth is my favorite - the one with Black Houndstooth and red on it :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cards with the red and white twine.
ReplyDeleteI cherish the note card recipe cards that are hand written by my mother also. Each time I pull them out I picture her writing them and it just brings a smile to my face :) As far as the recipe cards go, I like the Kitchen Tools because it has a pink mixer that reminds me of my beloved Kitchen Aid.
ReplyDeleteThey are all soooo cute, but I think I would go with the floral recipe card--adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI like the mason jar and the cupcake ones! So sweet :)
ReplyDeletelove the kitchenware recipe card
ReplyDeleteWow, such great designs! I think I'd have to go with the cupcake one.
ReplyDeleteThe Delicious Recipe Card looks so pretty! I'm glad I'm not the only one that still prefers recipe cards
ReplyDeleteI love to bake, so the "Kitchen Tools" cards with the pink stand mixer on them would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the cupcake cards! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchen tools one! Cute but still classy
ReplyDeleteI like all designs, but maybe am a bit impartial to the "Criss Cross Utensils" Recipe Cards. The overall design is simple yet elegant. It has lots of writing space for the intended purpose.
ReplyDeleteAs a cookie lover, I collect cookie recipes and absolutely agree that a recipe found on a recipe card is much more sentimentally valuable than one found anywhere else.
By the way, this is my first time visiting your Web site, and it certainly is a wonderful resource for cookie lovers.
I want the mason jar recipe card...oh so cute!
ReplyDeleteToo many cute designs to choose! I like the Kitchen Tools design.
ReplyDeletethe "kitchen tools" print is adorableeeee!
ReplyDeleteI can't pick between the kitchen tools ones and the Christmas cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love recipe cards, to, I have made a few collections for my sister's for wedding and housewarming gifts!
I love the Houndstooth card! So chic and cute!!
ReplyDelete(my email isn't working on the other one.. sorry)
i think i would have to go with mason jar. i love how vintage-y it looks!! :)
ReplyDeletebeejack07@gmail.com
I'm loving the Houndstooth recipe card! I've been wanting to make the move over to recipe cards, but I haven't found any in stores that I like yet. These are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the mason jar ones!! my best recipes make it from my computer to my recipe box. I have a good stash saved on my Paprika app on my phone (which is awesome, btw), but there is nothing like a recipe card. Hope my kids appreciate them someday :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. All of those are so cute! Looking at them, there are two that I'm drawn to and just can't decide between. :) The delicious recipe card (pink and green...making me think of a favorite summer treat...watermelons!) and the pink cupcake recipe card (I love me some cupcakes...and the color pink. :) And bonus, they have my name on them already! Sort of...my middle name is Charlotte. )
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! I would totally get the Kitchen Utensils one! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchen supplies set - so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I like the Mason Jar cards the best.
ReplyDeleteI love the Chevron Initial Recipe Card!! too cute@
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I also love hand written recipes. My favorite cards are the bright stripes and the brown kraft ones that you showed. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute! And I totally agree, I love recipes cards! I love the red Serving Set ones.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These are incredible! I love the Kitchen Tools with the pink mixer! Too cool for words!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I love recipe cards... I have every intention of claiming my mom and my grandma's recipe books and boxes with all their handwritten recipes since my sister doesn't cook. All of them are fabulous, but I'd go with the bright stripes - totally me. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchenware recipe card! The teal colored one is speaking to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the Damask Initial recipe cards! My son is getting married in May, and his sweet fiancee needs these!!
ReplyDeletebright stripes! adorable!
ReplyDeleteEither the Kitchen tool one or Purple Mason card! But I really love them all :)
ReplyDeleteI'd have to get the floral one...but in yellow. Our favorite babysitter has run off and gotten herself a fiance (boo hoo for us, YAY for her!) and I'd give these to get her kitchen warmed up!
ReplyDeleteOk, they are seriously all adorable. At this moment I would pick the Kitchen Tools, but I will probably change my mind and then change it again...
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I love the kitchen tools cards!
ReplyDeleteI liked the cupcake cards! They are all super cute though!
ReplyDeleteI like the kitchen tools card.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn - either the Kitchen Tools or Cupcakes. I LOVE recipe cards! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cute - I really like the Serving Set recipe cards the best, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning toward the Apron design. I'm the proud owner of my Mother's recipes, many of which are handwritten by her, a few by my grandmother, and even some by my father. They're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Serving Set Recipe Card"! I recently bought a new recipe and can't wait to fill it up!
ReplyDeleteI like the Criss Cross Utensils. What a great giveaway. I love recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteI like the Damask Recipe Card classic and clean (at least until I start using them and spill stuff on them)
ReplyDeleteI love the Dazzling Diamonds design - so cute!
ReplyDeletemehaver@yahoo.com
I love the Kitchen Tools recipe card. Like you I have recipes written by my mother and every recipe card has a memory of a great dish. I would love these unique cards.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for this post ever since you posted the teaser on Twitter...these cards are ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteI love the mason jar cards. Or the striped cards you chose. Ah...can't decide!
Love love love the striped recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteI just posted the comment above and forgot to leave my email address as I was excited about the contest. :) lisa.burke1@sympatico.ca
ReplyDeleteI like the Delicious Recipe Cards!
ReplyDeleteI have a few hand-written recipes from my grandmother (she's been gone since '99). I want to laminate them so that I can keep them for many more years.
The Chevron Initial cards are my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd get the cupcake recipe card. I love making cupcakes!!! Plus it's pink, which is my favorite color!!!!!
ReplyDeletemarissa_wu@aol.com
So cute! I would love to get these for my sis n law. I would pick the chevron one or the brown craft paper ones.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I would pick the mason jar design on the recycled paper.
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn!! I love many of them but my favorites are "Delicious Recipe Card" "Sailor" or "Kitchen Tools"!!! These are SO adorable and I agree they make fabulous gifts!
ReplyDeleteI like the brown kraft cards that you posted! Also the mulitcolored chevron! SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd choose Cupcakes or Brown Kraft...maybe :)
ReplyDeleteI love the "Kitchen Tools" design. the pink and chocolate are a fabulous combination.
ReplyDeleteI would love the striped recipe cards! so cute!
ReplyDeleteI recently started working part time in a bakery, mainly decorating. I started on cupcakes so OF COURSE, I'd have to chose the cupcake recipe cards :)
ReplyDeleteI love the bright stripes and the apron recipe cards. Those are SO cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchen supplies recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. There's something special about recipe cards. My mom died six years ago and I now have her file box of hand printed recipes she collected over the years. I cherish it.
Oh I like a lot. Either the yellow stripes or maybe the rainbow chevron ones.
ReplyDeleteI miss the recipe cards too. I got my grandmother's recipe book when she died and I had fun going through it. I do admit to throwing a lot out but I kept some of my favourites. I like the Criss Cross Utensils although most of them a nice.
ReplyDeleteI would pick the mason jar recipe cards.

I love the striped ones but maybe in a hot pink or green with gray font. Oh I adore seeing my mom's writing on recipes as well.
ReplyDeleteMaureen
the kitchen tools cards. i looove pink and brown together :)
ReplyDeleteI actually love the striped cards you have shown in the pictures in yellow! I think they are just super cute! I've always wanted recipe cards but never had any real recipes to put on them! I think for this year I might start some recipe cards and start creating and finding new recipes just to put them on there! Thanks for this post, I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love recipe cards. My favorite on that site is the pink cupcake! My favorite in real life is from my great aunt who passed away 3 years ago. Seeing her handwriting is so special to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the Delicious cards, but they are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's a toss-up between Sailor's Delight and Delicious. I don't even think I would have to put my name on the sailor's delight. My friends would immediately know whose it was!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitchen tool recipe card. I agree totally about the hand-written recipe cards. I have some hand-written recipes that I treasure from different family members and friends, but I still love surfing the web for recipes to print out!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these!! I would pick the Family Favorite Recipes style! It is SO cute!!! I need it!
ReplyDeleteI liked the striped recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved your pics of the colored recipe cards from your mom. I have the same ones saved from my first recipe collection growing up! How times have changed - but I still love going back to that old recipe box.
The blue with anchors! I went to school in Rhode Island and I *love* anchors!
ReplyDeleteI love the houndstooth recipe cards with the initial. I also like the yellow one with the side check off on your blog. So pretty... makes me want to clean out my recipe/cookbook cabinet! Well.... not so much.
ReplyDeleteI love the dasmask in purple! super classy!
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to the bright stripes design. Even if I don't win, I'm going to buy some! Having handwritten recipes from my grandma and mom is priceless and one of my most treasured possessions.
ReplyDeleteI used to say digital recipes were better because they didn't get lost or ruined, and today my digital recipes get lost just as easy! Too many different websites!
ReplyDeleteI love their houndstooth ones! I'm a sucker for houndstooth, though...
Oooh I can't decide between the Kitchen Tools and the Cupcake designs. I love them! I hope I win, but if I don't I am definitely bookmarking this site so I have some cute recipe cards on hand!
ReplyDeleteI like the kitchen tools recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteI really like the kitchen tools design since most of what I use recipes for is baked goodies and I always use my new shiny kitchenaid!!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Tools is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteOOOH! I'D CHOOSE THE BROWNKRAFT TOO BECAUSE I ADORE HEARTS!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI love the red of the kitchen tools recipe cards. They'll match my mixer.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the multi-colored chevron cards as well. Playful recipes in different colors! :D
ReplyDeleteBuy WoW Account
Love the Cupcake Cards, that would be a pick for me. But my sister-in-law just got engaged so the Bride to Be cards would be perfect for her shower!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect timing - just the other day I put "buy recipe cards" on my to-do list! Can't decide between the Mason Jar and the Stripes ... love them both!
ReplyDeleteI would pick the Kitchen Tools card. Soooo ADORABLE!!
ReplyDeleteI love the initial wreath recipe cards. So perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. I love the Mixing recipe cards. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI love recipe cards, I am glad to see that others enjoy them as much as I do!! How do I go about getting a recipe for that beer bread (shown in the second photo of this post?!?!) :) I am a proud Navy wife, so the Sailor's Delight seems appropriate!!
ReplyDeleteI like the striped recipe card but in mint!
ReplyDeleteI love recipe cards - especially these! They are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would consider getting the Fig Mason Jar Recipe Cards!
I would choose the Kitchen Supplies card. I think. They are all so cute.
ReplyDeleteI would love the kitchen tool! These are so beautiful! I have a box filled with grandmas recipies that were passed down to me and written on recipe cards also! She hates it when I find a recipe online ha! Love my gma
ReplyDeleteI love the Kitchen Tools design! I REALLY wish I had found this website months ago to use the recipe cards at my bridal shower. I have been cooking much more since my wedding and I would have loved to receive recipes from my loved ones. :(
ReplyDeleteI love the Brownkraft design that you featured. I can see them being a big part of this year's Christmas gifts
ReplyDeleteI love the houndstooth but the dots are nice too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cupcake recipe and the kitchen tools :) cant decide on one!
ReplyDeleteThe pink kitchen tools cards are by far the cutest!

ReplyDeleteI adore the kitchen tools card! I like pink and brown to begin with, and what better appliance to feature than my trusty stand mixer?
ReplyDeleteOoh, definitely the brownkraft design. It's SO PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I totally agree, seeing the handwriting makes a huge difference. I grew up reading handwritten recipes from my great Grandmother. :) it's a hard choice, but I'd definitely go for the houndstooth ones. So classy!
ReplyDeleteI like the mason jar cards.
ReplyDeleteI like the Criss Cross Utensils card.
ReplyDeleteholly.yokoyama@gmail.com
Pink Kitchen tools recipe card--so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'd choose the cupcake cards! So cute!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the cupcake cards. adorable
ReplyDeleteI love handwritten recipe cards too! And the brownkraft recipe cards are my fave!
ReplyDeleteMy choice would be the black mason jar... Brings back memories of my mom canning, a friend's house for weeklong keggers years ago, and a tavern I worked at! I used to have some of mom's handwritten recipes, but everything was lost in an eviction years ago, and after mom died. Can't get my memories, though!
ReplyDeleteI think the kitchen tools cards are so cute!!!!
ReplyDelete
