My husband and I are having our first formal dinner party TONIGHT!!! Aaaaaah! These are the place cards I made. The holders are from Pier One. The ribbons are from Michael's: pink for the ladies, green for the guys. Also SU! silver cord. The whole dinner party is black, white, pink, green, and silver.
I printed the names with the free front Selfish from ScrapVillage: http://www.scrapvillage.com/fonts.htm
on glossy paper. After it dried, which took a very long time, I cut out the individual cards and sent them thru my Cuttlebug with the swirls embossing folder. Then layered on SU! brushed silver cardstock. The hardest part was tying that pesky silver cord. It has a mind of its own.
Thanks for looking.

Oh, WOW -- these are gorgeous!!! Love the CB'd b/g you made -- and love your holders/ribbons, etc. Hope your party went well. I love looking at table settings -- did you photo the table set with your placecards? Such fun stuff -- TFS!!!
These are just darling! I love the preppy color combination and the place card holders - just fantastic! You've given me some inspiration to do this for maybe a springtime party....now just to plan the menu!
