I use Columns, and make sure no text overflows.
Sometimes Frames work for me, while other times they do not.

Whatever way works best for YOU is the way you should do it.

To be honest, the easiest way for me is just to print out on blank 3x5
cards I can buy for a lot less money than the 3 cards per sheet type of
paper.  But, you need a printer that can handle 3x5 cards.  Most that
have a borderless photo option, and photo paper tray, should be able to
print 3x5 cards.
