My Somewhat DIY Wedding (part 6 of infinity) : PLACE CARDS

Another fun part of my wedding were the place cards! I had fun making them, and I think all of my helpers did too. I got inspiration from my friend Ellen's place cards (I can't find a picture of them on her blog...). All of my tables were monochromatic so the table cards were pink, yellow, and red to go with the tables.


The Cards were 3 x 6 inch rectangles and then folded in half. The white/yellow paper was just slightly smaller. The Names were printed on card stock and then punched out with "Modern Label Punch" from Stampin' Up. Both the flower and the name were mounted with foam mounting squares to give it dimension. Oh, and the flower was from the "Blossom Party" die cut from Stampin' up. I had to add a sticky gemstone for some bling!

The inside were regular address labels with the guest's table number.
Tada!!!

My Somewhat DIY Wedding (part 5 of infinity) : THANK YOU CARDS

I really wanted to personalize everything for my wedding. I know that people spend a lot of time picking out gifts, and other people spent tons of time planning wonderful showers, etc for me. In an attempt to show some appreciation I decided to make all of my Thank You cards for my showers.

My friend Ellen helped me so much with this process. She is a Stampin' Up consultant and I ended up buying a Big Shot and all kinds of fun die cut stuff... not to mention tons of paper and ink (that I used for my invitations... for another post). Visit her blog to see all the fun stuff she makes.

I bought packages of blanks cards and envelopes 50% off at JoAnn's. Then I used the Big Shot and cut out all of these awesome 'flower parts' using the "Blossom Party" Die Cut set from Stampin' Up. (Well, my sister did the die cutting...)

The parts look like this....

My lovely helpers and I just put them all together in fun combinations.

All that was left was stamping a little "thank you" stamp for the finishing touch. They were simple and cute!!!
