Simple Place Cards decorated with die cuts.

Another option  for decorating these name cards is  to use die cuts.
 I like ornate corners,  so on this one I have used  a tiny corner die to create this gold corner decoration.


For a more subtle look,  I used the same corner die, but I  die cut the corner from the same coloured card. This almost looks as though the corner has been embossed.


On this one I have used a small butterfly die cut in the lower right corner. 
There are hundreds of dies available that would be suitable for decorating Place cards.
Unicorns and Fairies spring to mind  now for decorating name cards for children's tea parties.



TIP.  To apply glue to ornate die cuts use a sponge to pick up the glue and dab the back of the die cut with the sponge.  Make sure the die cut doesn't move while you are applying the glue or you will get glue on the right side of the die cut. Even though Tombow glue is easily removed from flat surfaces, it's not so easy to remove from intricate pieces like this corner.
