Christmas Place Cards

December 12, 2012 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 12 Comments

As Christmas is getting closer, we are starting to work on some of the little details to make our day extra special. Creating a lovely Christmas Table is one of the things we love most about Christmas. Setting the table with our wedding China, silver cutlery, and nice glassware makes it special. We also love to make Christmas Place Cards to add to the elegance of the occasion.

When we spotted the French Mini Polaroid Gift Tags at Typo a few weeks ago, we knew they would be perfect for our Christmas Place Cards. If you are after some mini Polaroids to get a similar effect, check out Pic Monkey (free online photo editing) which has a Polaroid frame you can add to photos.

To make the Place Cards, we punched out all the guests’ names on a Dymo Embossing Label Maker. We adhered the label to the Polaroid, then mounted the Polaroid on some red card stock. This was then mounted on some white card stock that was folded in half. For the boys place cards we added some red bakers twine, and for the girls we added a small bow that was held in place with a little red peg (clothespin).

We love how they turned out and they fit our French Christmas theme perfectly!

If you are after other ideas for Christmas Place Cards, check out our baby Photo Christmas Place Cards from 2011.

    They are absolutely gorgeous, but… (whispers in a very small voice) red phone boxes are very, very typically English, not French! However (shouts loudly) I do love them anyway! 🙂

A beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project insp A beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project inspired by the Albi sisters.Thanks to @tesswoods_author and @penguinbooksaus for the advance copy of this captivating story.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve just finished reading The Cairo Bridal Shop by local author Tess Woods — and it completely swept me away.Set at the foot of the pyramids, the Albi Bridal Shop is home to three sisters fighting to break tradition and shape their own futures. Inspired by ancient pharaoh queens, they draw on generations of women, culture, sacrifice, and resilience to find their strength.Tess calls this “the book of her heart,” weaving her family history into a story of sisterhood, identity, faith, strong women, and delicious Egyptian food.While reading, I kept thinking about the three Albi sisters — Sarah, Aya, and Lola — each navigating their own challenges, each fighting for the life she deserves.So I stitched three Heart Bookmarks, one to represent each sister. A tiny handmade nod to their courage, creativity, and connection.Each bookmark is made from quilting cotton, wool felt, lace, and a silky tassel — quick to sew, lovely to gift, and perfect for marking your place in a story full of strong women.I was completely captivated by The Cairo Bridal Shop. The relationships between the sisters are truly the heart of the story — tender, complicated, loyal, and full of resilience.I loved the structure: six dresses, each inspired by a Pharaoh queen, each opening a new chapter of their lives. The cultural details, the food, the history, the Cairo setting — it all felt vivid and immersive.A beautiful, emotional story of family, identity, courage, and the strength we find in the women around us.If you only read one book this year, make sure it is The Cairo Bridal Shop.If you’d like to stitch your own Heart Bookmark, the pattern is free.Comment BOOKMARK and I’ll send you the link.A sweet, quick project — perfect paired with a good book.Thanks for being here — I love sharing small sewing projects that bring joy to your day.
