Personalized Flower Place Card:
Snow globe place card with guest’s name on it.

Supplies
Snow globe: Darice, Inc. Kid’s Crafts Design-a-waterglobe (There are no warnings for children’s age for this product, but there is a small rubber stopper that wouldn’t be appropriate for small children to eat.) Orange cardstock: Bazzill “Festive” canvas texture Small Yellow Flower: Friends Kaleidoscope Flower Cut by My Mind’s Eye Stamps: EK Success Ltd. “Antique Alphabet” Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Archival Instant Dry Pigment Ink by Tsukineko, Inc. straight edge, utility knife, and pencil. 

Instructions
1. Personalize the card stock flower. Using stamps and ink, add the child’s name to the flower, high enough that it can be read easily. Let ink dry.
2. Unpack the snow globe and open. Insert the card stock flower as far as it will go and see where you will have to trim the bottom petal. Mark using bottom edge of the globe, then remove and trim using straight edge and utility knife. Repeat if you want another flower on the back. Adhere flowers together (back to back if using two) and insert into snow globe.
3. Cut orange card stock circle to fit inside the bottom of the snow globe using a circle cutter. Depending on how securely your flower fits into its’ spot, you may want to dab some adhesive onto the flower just before you close the globe. This might help hold it into place on the orange stock for when the globe is shaken.
4. Add water according to the instructions (glitter optional) and you have a new idea for a place card at your next party!
