Place cards are placed on tables so guests know where they are sitting at the wedding breakfast. To make these fabulous place cards simply follow the steps below.
You will need
Useful tools
1. Cut a piece of paper from the Designer Mat Pad to measure 6cm x 3cm.
2. Pierce a hole in the paper using the end of a craft knife, approximately 2cm from the left hand side of the paper.
3. Push a small brad through a Prima flower and then through the first hole in your paper. Holding the flower and brad in place, turn over your paper and open out the ‘wings’ of the brad at the back. Repeat twice more for the second and third holes.
4. Using the pink pen, doodle a small heart in each corner. You may wish to practice your doodles on a scrap piece of paper first until you get a shape you’re happy with.
5. Using the green pen, draw dots and dashes around the outside edge of the paper between your doodled hearts. Next, doodle greenery around your flower embellishments. To finish add the guests name to the left of the flower. Remember that with longer names you may need to position your flower further to the left side.
6. With your square card blank, cut 2.5 cm off the bottom of the card to make you card a rectangle measuring 7cm x 4cm. Apply double sided sticky tape to the back of your finished topper and attach it to your white card blank.
Co-Ordinated Stationery
This design can be adapted very easily for the rest of your wedding stationery. The Order of the Day cards, Invitations and menus are created in exactly the same way, using larger pieces of paper and more flowers for the menus.
The K & Co Designer Mat Pad contains co-ordinating papers in different designs and colours, allowing you to create a set of stationery items that harmonize perfectly yet each one looks like you’ve made it especially for the recipient. The Papermania Pastel Sparkle Mini Brads are also different colours, making it easy for you to match the colours to the paper designs.
