Wedding place settings

At the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of a lovely couple, Carla & Adam. We all had a great time & the weather was just perfect, as was the whole day.


I also had the great honour to be asked to make their wedding invitations & place settings. I've included below a photo of the place settings which I made using my Cricut machine & punches. The carts I used were Doddlecharms (for dragonfly, ladybird & seahorse) & Happily Ever After (the rose). The shapes were cut at between 2.5 - 4cms. The butterfly was made using a Stampin Up punch. The shapes were attached to the place settings using thin craft wire which I wound around a pencil twice. To ensure the backs were as neat as the front I attached the wire in between the layers & used a quickie glue pen & Stampin Up diamond dazzle to add that extra bit of glitz. I also used Stampin Up's scallop punch to decorate the edges.

Everyone at the wedding commented how they had never seen place settings like them before & once the children started playing with them I could not help but notice how the adults could not resist moving the wire so their shape appeared to be moving. I think nearly everyone put their place settings in their bags/pockets at the end of the reception & that included the men too.
