I love making place cards!  Over the years I've shared lots of place card ideas:

And now, here's a new one for you just in time for Thanksgiving!  I'm using playing cards and my ScanNCut to make really cool place cards!  Watch the video for the how-to:

Thanks for stopping by!

  • HI Julie,
    I love this idea this is awesome. I have the The design #2 applique, I also have the #3 Home-Deco Pattern Collection and I have the #4 3D Paper Craft Pattern Collection.I love them all. These are such a great addition to my Brother Scanncut CM550DX.
    Just a heads up I have my Universal pen holder and I am now loving it. I watched your videos several times and I am now able to use with many of my crafting pens and markers. Love love love.
    I am now waiting to for all my other orders of the new items to come in. The Vinyl sheets, The grid for the vinyl, mini sticker paper. I also have the new stamp kit. I have mostly every accessory for my scanncut. Except for the middle tack 12×24 Mat. I am waiting to see where that can be purchased. Once I have that then I think I am good to go for awhile.
    Love my Brother Scanncut and love what you are doing and sharing all your ideas.Thank you so much.

  • Love these and all the work you do on the Scan ‘n’ Cut. I bought one, but have never mastered the 107 steps I need to complete a project. I’m so glad you have–and super well!
