Well, where do I start?
Flowers, rolled flowers, layered flowers and felt flowers any flowers for that matter I hate them.ðŸ˜
We see so many of the beautiful flowers postsed on Facebook and some have even completed an entire wall full of the most beautiful flowers you have ever seen and it’s all done with cardstock!
So after seeing lots of posts saying “not bad for my first attempt” and the pictures looking like they have plucked it straight out Beachgrove garden I thought I can do that!
I logged into Cricut Design Space and as I am subscribed to Cricut Acsess I selected the purple image bellow
I was only messing around to see if I could actually produce anything that resembles a flower and duplicated only 4 petals to test it out. I made each petal a little smaller then cut. I used cheap card bought from Poundland and cut it on the cardboard + setting. I was really surprised by the results and I was now on mission to cut more.
I tried the rolled flowers before and struggled but I honestly do not remember struggling as bad as I did today. So after making the flower above I had a brainwave.
Back to design space and I added the flower x2 (see bellow) then the troubles began.

I then rolled them both together again thinking it was going to be awesome....it took me over 2 hours on one flower and in the end I gave up and I didn’t even bother to glue it.
It won’t beat me though!
It’s almost a fower.
I rested for a bit and decided that I would give it another go tomorrow so I designed a lot of layered flowers and spent almost 3 hours designing them all and cutting them out. Design space then decided that it would start randomly cutting the mats out of sync. So I gave up again. I sat sitting like Quasimodo my back is in tatters and all I have to show for it is a dodgy looking flower.
I was going to say tomorrow is another day but It’s 4am here. I am determine to make the flowers. If you struggle it’s ok, it’s ok to get frustrated too and we all have to start somewhere.
I will keep posting on here until I get it right. Wish me luck.
