This was in Canadian Scrapbooker a few issues back, but I just wanted to show it again because it is so cute, and so easy! This would work wonderfully for weddings. No weddings in my future, but I've started saving wine corks so I can decorate up my table at Easter. The real cork corks are getting harder to come by (at least in wine in my price range) but the fake composite corks work really well for this technique too. Actually better, because they don't crumble like dried out cork does.
Take any kind of wine cork, stand it on its edge and with a sharp exacto knife, make a small slice off of the bottom so that it sits flat and does not roll.
Place the cork flat side down, and make a slit through the cork that you can slide a piece of cardstock into. Be careful not to cut all the way through - cutting about 3/4 of the way down to the flattened edge is good. Take a smallish piece of cardstock, roughly 3.5 x 5" or smaller, decorate as desired and insert into the cork slit. Just don't put too much stuff on your cardstock. Wine corks are light, and a heavily embellished place card will just tip right over.
Quick and simple Easter place card - Rusty Pickle paper and alpha stickers, Stampin Up ink, MyStampBox stamps and the Cricut expressin to cut the bunny and the basket
