Check out the place cards I have made for my friend Sarah's wedding on Friday I delivered 81 place cards and 10 table names this afternoon to Sarah's mum & dad and thankfully they were thrilled with the result.
Orange is a popular bridal colour at the moment and Sarah had requested burnt orange. Thank goodness I knew this before the last catalogue ended, as I was able to buy up on 'Really Rust' Card Stock. Each black card base is a 1/4 of an A4 folded in half. I printed the names directly onto Whisper White Card Stock and matted them with the Really Rust Cardstock, which I ran through the Big Shot using some bridal embossing folders (non SU). I think the black ribbon wrapped around the rust and white makes these the Rolls Royce of place cards. The cards were adhered to the black folded bases with dimensionals.
I'll try to remember to take some shots of the cards on the tables on Friday - this photo was quickly snapped as Sarah's dad checked over the spelling with Marianne (Sarah's soon to be MIL) and we bagged them up into tables ready to be delivered to the reception. Lesson of the day is, it takes longer to print 81 names, adhere them and tie black ribbon bows, than you might think!
