Spring Flower Placecard Designed by Carla Schauer

Whether a holiday dinner, a birthday party, or a spring get-together, these sweet flower placecards are a festive way to add some sparkle to the table. 

Clearsnap Products Used:

• Design Adhesives (Feels like Fall, Tag It, and Daisy Daze)
• Cat’s Eye Pigment Ink (Citrine and Orchid)
• Glitter (Sparkling Amethyst and Peridot)

Other products:

• Lollipop stick
• cardstock (white, yellow, pink)
• small white metal bucket
• ribbon
• jump ring
• 2” scalloped circle punch
• wood grain and letter stamps
• liquid glue

I applied the flower design adhesive to the yellow cardstock, covered it with Sparkling Amethyst glitter, and cut around the design.  After directly inking the lollipop stick using the Citrine inkpad, I glued the stick to the back of the cut out flower.  To create the back circle, I punched a 2” scalloped circle from pink cardstock and directly inked the edges using the Orchid inkpad, then glued it to the back of the stick. 

Since the Leaf Design Adhesive shape is open in the middle, I wanted more pattern in the center rather than solid cardstock.   I used a wood grain stamp and Citrine ink on white cardstock, then added the leaf Design Adhesive and Peridot glitter.  After cutting around the shape, I wrapped and glued the leaf stem around the lollipop stick to finish the flower stem.

For the bucket and monogram tag, I tied the ribbon around the top of the bucket, holding it in place with glue.  I used the round tag shape from the “Tag It” Design Adhesives on pink cardstock with Sparkling Amethyst glitter, cutting around the shape and making a small hole in the hanging space. The monogram was stamped in Orchid ink, and the tag hung on the ribbon using the jump ring.  I held the flower stem in place using candy-coated chocolates in spring colors.
