Elegant Place Cards–Shades of Spring

I made these place cards for my Aunt’s 50th Birthday party. I wanted them to be elegant and fun, but not too formal. Shades of Spring DSP made a perfect backdrop for the place cards, cut to 3 1/2″ x 2″. The Basic Black card stock was cut to just under 3 3/4″ x 4 1/2″. Then, I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the 3 3/4″ side and folded it in half as shown.

Next, I adhered the Shades of Spring DSP to the black card stock with SNAIL adhesive. The ribbon is Certainly Celery 5/8″ Satin Ribbon, which I tied around the inside of the place card and knotted in the front.

The names and table numbers were printed on the computer, punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered on Basic Black card stock I punched out with the Scalloped Oval Punch. That was then attached to the front with a Stampin Dimensional.

Good Neighbors 3 Versions

Version 1: Brocade Blue card stock base layered with Close to Cocoa and Autumn Meadows DSP. The stamped images are from Good Neighbors. Ink colors of houses are from left to right: close to cocoa, brocade blue, old olive, and so saffron ink.  The roofs are stamped in river rock, close to cocoa, and basic gray. I stamped them on Very Vanilla card stock, layered with Close to Cocoa and a strip of Dusty Durango card stock punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.

Version 2: Brocade Blue card stock layered with Close to Cocoa layered with Autumn Meadows DSP. Again, I stamped the houses from Good Neighbors on Very Vanilla card stock, matted with Close to Cocoa and attached to the base with Stampin Dimensionals. The sentiment is from So Many Sayings, stamped in close to cocoa ink on Very Vanilla, punched out with the Word Window Punch and layered on the Modern Label Punch in Dusty Durango, attached with Dimensionals.

Version 3: Old Olive card stock base layered with Tall Tales DSP in a dotted/striped pattern. I stamped Good Neighbors on Very Vanilla card stock, using my SU Markers to color the stamps. I layered that onto So Saffron card stock and then Chocolate Chip card stock.

Valentine Note Card

I like the size of this card for a Valentine. It would make a good Valentine for kids in school, or attached to a gift for a friend. This notecard is made from Pretty in Pink card stock, cut to 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ folded in half. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on a strip of Real Red card stock and layered it behind a 3 3/4″ square of Chocolate Chip DSP.

The stamp is from I {Heart} Hearts, stamped in Real Red ink on Whisper White card stock. I punched it out with the Full Heart Punch and layered it onto a Real Red heart I made using the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit. That was attached to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.
