I updated the ABC printable scripture cards so that they could be printed on both the front AND back of each piece of cardstock. This will take a little bit of effort on your part to ensure that the paper gets fed into your printer correctly (and facing the right direction). You also must select ‘reverse page orientation’ on the back sides ONLY of each page when you are printing it.
If you are successful…you should have a scripture on the front AND back of each card that are in alpabetical order (B is on the back of A, D is on the back of C, etc).
I decided to do this because I wanted to make some to send to the mission we support in Zimbabwe as well as share with others in our area. Making several sets of these would be much too costly and time-consuming with the original layout.
I also changed the picture for the verse “A” because obviously, not everyone will have a home that looks like the one depicted in the original ABC scripture cards. The clipart that replaced it is still not representative of all family types…but at least it doesn’t show a home being an architectural structure, but rather a family unit.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for printing your ‘green’ ABC Printable Scripture Cards…
Print out verses beginning with A, C, E, and G.
Then, feed the paper back into the printer.
Print out verses B, D, F, and H on the other side. *Make sure you choose the option to ‘reverse page orientation’ on your printer settings on THIS page ONLY.*
On a second piece of cardstock…
Print out verses I, K, M, and O.
Then, feed the paper back into the printer.
Print out verses J, L, N, and P on the other side. *Make sure you choose the option to ‘reverse page orientation’ on your printer settings on THIS page ONLY.*
On a third piece of cardstock…
Print out verses Q, S, U, and W.
Then, feed the paper back into the printer.
Print out verses R, T, V, and X on the other side. *Make sure you choose the option to ‘reverse page orientation’ on your printer settings on THIS page ONLY.*
On a fourth piece of cardstock…
Print out the verse beginning with Y and the title.
Then, feed the paper back into the printer.
Print out the verse beginning with Z and the description on the other side. *Make sure you choose the option to ‘reverse page orientation’ on your printer settings on THIS page ONLY.*
So now instead of using 7 pieces of cardstock…you’re only using 4!
If you choose to laminate them, you only need 4 laminating pouches. I highly recommend laminating them, especially if you review your memory verses at the dinner table! We have had this laminator for over a year and a half and we love it. I buy the generic pouches from Sam’s, which run about $20 for a pack of 200.
you don’t have all KJV do you?
Nope, sorry.
I haven’t been able to find the right “reverse” option on our printer. Any suggestions about finding that on different printers?
I couldn’t find the reverse option either. My printer prints straight out (doesn’t flip it or anything) so when it printed the “c” was at the bottom right. Flip the page straight over with the blank side facing you and the “c” is at the top right of the other side (not facing you). It prints just fine that way. I hope that helps!
I love the ABC Scripture cards. I’ve seen on someone’s PINTEREST page coloring sheets that might go with these small cards or maybe they are different. But I can’t find the source. Any idea?
Thanks for doing this! I send people to your website via the original link to the ABC Scripture cards all the time!
Do you have a copy that I could change the words to KJV (it is the one we use) I love your lay out and pictures and would obviously give you the credit on my blog. If this is possible could you let me know. Otherwise I will have to try make my own using the KJV.
Thanks in advance.
LOVE THIS. I just printed them out and will have my hubby laminate them tomorrow. We were just talking about how to better teach our children God’s Word. AND I just started a letter of the week this week with my 3 1/2 year old. So now we have a ABC Verse to go with our Letter of the Week. God is good and His timing, perfect! Thank you for making this available!
This is wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing and God bless you and your family!!
Thank you so much for all the time you put into making these and then for sharing them with us!!!
We are loving these! Thank you so much! Kelly
Hi, can anyone please tell me where to find the option for ‘reverse printing” ? I printed half the letters before having to go to work and now that I’m back to finish it I can’t remember how I did it or where to find the option. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Thank you for your time in creating these. I am starting a letter of the week with my 4 yr. old and was going to do a bible verse. I found your site on pinterest. This is great.
I love these, but they don’t print very well in greyscale. It would be great to have a set that are black and white so that they can color them in themselves.
Just a suggestion of how I got it to work for me :Print, properties, under advanced tab:) layout – back to front then reverse to front to back for the next page. Hope this helps.
Thanks SO much for sharing these with all of us. I am a grandmother of a 4 & 6 year old and was going to make something like this for them. So glad I found your site. Blessings to you and all you are doing to help others get God’s Word into our children’s hearts.
