Golden Leaves of Autumn Place Cards

Fall Place Card Pattern

This is a place card I made using PrintShop. Since I bought the program, I am allowed to print them for my own use or as gifts. But I may not make them to sell.

If you already own PrintShop or click on the link to purchase it right now, you may use my pattern for Golden Leaves of Autumn place cards - again, only for your own use or as gifts.

Click on the pattern JPEG picture above and save it to your hard drive or simply print it if you don't yet know how to create in PrintShop.

Select white or ivory colored card stock. Each place card should be approximately four inches square.

Cut them out, leaving a thin white border around the edges. Fold in half so that the large leaf is on one side and the two smaller ones are on the reverse.

Note that there is space to write your guests’ names on both sides if you like. They know who they are; but the people across the table may not!

Use a gold gel pen or wet emboss the names for a really elegant touch. If you've never done wet embossing, you'll find everything you need in the Melt Art Perfect Pearls Powder 4-Color Set except a heat gun, such as the Darice Super Heat Gun to heat set the powder.

I use a clear waterbase ink embossing pen and gold embossing powder. No stamps or stencils required for this simple job!

While it is difficult to get a good representation of the color gold from a computer printer, I think this graphic of a gold leaf from the designers at Broderbund does an exceptional job.

Follow the directions below to reproduce your “Golden Leaves of Autumn” place cards.

Bring the JPEG into a blank page of PrintShop; resize it to four by four inches; and copy it three times. Arrange the images so they fit within the printable border. Print.

Cut out the cards. Score down the center so that the large leaf will be on the front left (to face the diner) and the two smaller leaves will be on the back left (facing the other guests). Fold along the scored line.
