| Hello Friends, How are you this weekend?? Are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? I have been wanting to find a chunk of time to create some place cards for the Thanksgiving table & I finally found that time. Of course you can switch up the colors and use this design for any occasion 🙂 |
 |
| I have to show you how they look with some mood lighting so you can see the pretty sparkle. |
 |
| This was the first one I created…my proto type and I wasn’t happy because it was a little to much stamping, to much ribbon etc… etc. |
 |
| This is the simplified version. What do you think?? I like the way the off center ribbon label looks. Just in case you are interested I have a tutorial for you & the supply list is at the bottom of my post. |
 |
| Type your names and run your colored paper through your printer allowing space to die cut each name. If I measured I could have print all the names on one sheet of paper. |
 |
| Die cut your names placing the label slightly off center on the die. Tape the die cut down with something like architectural dots. (I like them because I can use them over and over.) |
 |
| Thread your ribbon while it’s still on the spool and it will be easier to steady it while you gather the ribbon. Tie the ribbon with the embroidery floss into a bow. |
 |
| I find it easier to work in batches. I will be trimming the left end of the “Ribbon Label”. Here is a card using the ribbon label. |
 |
| Using “Label’s Eight” die cut your card base and score it to fold in half. |
 |
| Die cut the next size that’s smaller, stamp and distress. (see supply list for stamps, inks etc.) |
 |
| Cut in half. |
 |
| Attach your distressed piece….I like to use Glossy Accents as my glue. |
 |
| Spray everything with shimmer spray. If you celebrate Thanksgiving good luck as you make your preparations and have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for taking the time to visit. Hugs, Kathy Did you see my giveaway on my last post here. |

These are AMAZING!!! I just love the grace they will no doubt add to your table. Thanks so much for showing us the details of how you made them!
Beautfiul project – these certainly have the wow factor to help your celebrations go with a swing! I definitely think your simplified version works better… just becuase it feels more balanced with fewer elements.
Thanks for sharing!

My granddaughter would say “they are be-eu-ti-ful”. I’m going to stop and make them for her for our Christmas right now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, those place cards look amazing! I love the bows and the glitter. Hugs, Hanneke
The asymmetrical name label is superbly effective & I love the way you have managed to combine so much texture in this “not so little project” – I have to agree that your final version is my favourite too. I also work in batches with things like this, it’s a very efficient way of production as measuring & chaning about is kept to a minimum & thus errors minimised. Hope you’ve had a super Thanksgiving weekend.
