Fancy Top Place Card.


This place card is very easy to achieve and very pretty the options for decorating these is endless. They are so pretty they really don't need much at all.  
You'll need a suitable die.  I chose a Sue Wilson adornment die. 
 This die comes in two parts.  The lacy part that cuts the design into the card  but leaves the design in the card and the second  outline die cuts out the whole design. 
I got Hubby to cut the bottom off the outline die so I could use it for tab tops. 
 There are dies available that will allow you to do this without having to cut the die. They usually come in three parts.

Cut your card to the size you require  Draw a light pencil line across the centre. Line up the fancy die and the outline die along the pencil line, make sure you have an equal space at each end of the die.


 When you are sure that the spacing between the outline  and fancy die is even die tape them  down.
 Score a line from the edge of the card to the end of the die on both sides.
 Run the card and dies through your chosen die cutting machine.
Fold the score lines back to form a tent fold card.

Rear view...If you prefer a solid back cut along the score line and discard the back section.  Cut a second tent fold card the same size and adhere the front panel to the new card.

As my card was too thick for my printer, I used a thinner card to print off the names and then cut them into panels and adhered them to the front of base card.
