Well, some of my real life friends asked me about where I got them...answer? I made them, of course :)
Here is what I did:
I found some of these placecards in the wedding section at the Dollar Tree.
I found this cool Martha Stewart paper punch at TJ Maxx for $3.99
The back side of the punch - here you can see that it only punches a small section at a time but you can line up the pattern on the front to make sure you get a continuous pattern. This is why the punch is so wide.
Punch along each side (sorry about the crappy pics - it is HARD to take good pictures of something so small!)
Remove excess tags from the punched sides.
I had to cut these with two corners at an angle. I don't know why they came out like this but I liked how it looked so it didn't really matter to me.
Tape a popsicle stick to the back
Viola!
You can also make tent-style cards by only punching one edge. I loved how these turned out and I plan on using this awesome punch a lot in the future. I kind of felt like it added a special little something to the party :)
