DIY Stamped Place Cards

Can you believe we are already in the middle of September?  I absolutely love this time of year a lot. For me, fall happens to be the perfect excuse to entertain, so I thought it would be fun to host a wine and mini dessert night in our home! A time to unwind, sip and nibble on some treats. I decided to create these modern DIY stamped place cards to put on the table to personalize it just a bit.

Materials Required

• Martha Stewart Metalworking Alphabet Stamp Set
• Hobby and Craft Metal Sheets
• Scissors
• Thick Cardstock (or other material to adhere name to)
• Glue Dots
• Twine

Instructions which you need to adhere to:

1.

Choose your letters and slide into the groove on the track handle (keep in mind that you need to insert a letter to be stamped in reverse).

2.

Place a rubber embossing stamp or similar material under your metal and press firmly with a slight rocking motion.

3.

Cut your metal name to the desired length.

4.

Using a glue dot, adhere the metal name to your cardstock. (I actually found some pretty vinyl siding samples at Home Depot that I thought would make fun name tags!).

5.

Tie a piece of twine onto your tag.

6.

Slide into your folded napkin and voila!

It’s a pretty simple and playful way to dress up your table this fall for guests. They can even keep the cards if they want!  Having a name tag on the table seems to elevate the experience just a bit – even if it is just for some wine and sweets!
