Free Library Card in Six Different Colors
I wanted to create a traditional blue library card to pay homage to those happy researching times with the card catalog just a few (cough, cough) years ago.
After designing my first blue library card, I knew then that I had to keep on designing them in more colors because they’re just so much fun. More bright colors equals more fun organizing. How about a red library card?
Did you notice that I added Organized 31 in place of the printing company on the bottom of the card? What would you use this purple library card for?
And you know that I had to have my library cards printed in the USA (see it even says it at the bottom right of the card). Isn’t this pink library card just so sweet?
I see this orange library card used in many different Halloween crafts and gifts.
How about organizing your earth-friendly belonging with this green library card?

You are so good at making printables! That’s great you were able to make those library cards in all of those different colors. Next time I see the librarian at my son’s school, I’ll have to tell her about them.
Once I started, I just couldn’t stop, Brenda! I had so much fun making them. 🙂 Hope your librarian has fun organizing and crafting with them.
Unique idea for making colorful printables. I liked it
Thanks. They make me smile every time I see them. 🙂
These are terrific and beautifully done. Thank you so much – what a great resource!
Thanks, David. I’m having so much fun with these library cards.
Love these cards. I must say, that I really love the library card holder. Such a bright and pretty color.
Thanks, Cynthia. It makes me smile every day.
I’m having these printed on fabric. Someone in the Buy Nothing group I’m in suggested sewing up some bags that could be passed around among members. She wanted to track where things had been. I’ll sew one of these into each bag so people can check in if they want to.
That’s such a brilliant idea, Alexa!! I’d love if you sent me a photo.
