June Blog Hop
This month's Blog Hop Challenge was to use transparencies in a creative way. I don't know why, but wedding placecards came to my mind when I thought about what to create. I guess I've been seeing weddings everywhere so I have them on the brain. :) There is a reality show that I saw a commercial for as I was flipping through television channels. I don't remember the name of it, but it featured people who plan these extremely lavish and EXPENSIVE weddings. In the commercial clip, they showed how each guest's place at the table was decorated. Each chair was covered in draped fabric, and there were beautiful centerpieces, but it was the napkin that caught my eye. Each guest's napkin was folded like a swan (I think) and it had a Swarovski Crystal chain hanging from it. When thinking about the Blog Hop Challenge this month, I thought using transparencies for the placecards would go along with the Swarovski Crystal theme. . .clear and elegant. Of course, I couldn't imagine making these for a large wedding! LOL I used the Wedding Day stamp set and a Fiskars embossing border punch with Kraft cardstock and Pearlized Cream cardstock. I printed the name out on the computer and used the Word Window punch to punch it out. I added gold brads on either side and stamped the table number underneath. This placecard makes me think of a ritzy hotel room door with a nameplate and number! :) Hope you like it! Be sure and head to the Blog Hop forums to see what the other Blog Hop participants have created! It's a lot of fun! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Wedding Day (Papertrey Ink); Paper- Kraft (Papertrey Ink), Pearlized Cream (Paper Accents), transparency; Ink- Onyx Black (Versafine), Whisper White Craft (SU); Accessories- gold brads (Making Memories), Word Window punch (SU), embossing border punch (Fiskars), paper piercer
