How To Make

You Will Need
* Cricut Machine
* LightGrip Cutting Mat
* Cricut Basic Tools
* 12 x 12" Cardstock - Pastel Colors
* Tape Pen or Glue Pen
* Cricut Design Space app installed on a laptop, PC, tablet, or mobile device.


Rose Step 1

Open a new project in Cricut Design Space, then add the image 'Rose #MC8B7E1' to a new canvas. Resize to your liking. I sized my flower spiral to 7x7 inches, which gave me a rose around 2 inches wide once rolled up.

Cut the pieces for the rose using a medium-weight cardstock (around 180 gsm). Once cut, remove carefully from the mat by flipping it over and removing the mat from the cut card sheet.

Step 2

To create the flower, use a quilling tool or pair of tweezers holding on to the end and roll the flower up. Think of the flower spiral like a snake with a tail and a head; the head is at the center of the spiral, so start rolling at the tail. Roll as tight as you can, keeping the flat edge of the flower lined up. As the flower gets bigger, remove the tool or tweezers and roll by hand.

Lily Step 1

Search for and add the image 'Lily #MA3E15' onto the Cricut Design Space canvas. Resize to your liking, then head to make it. Cut the pieces; I find at least 180 gsm is a good paper weight to use, although you could go for a thinner paper for the lily petals.

Poppy Step 1

Search for the image '3D Poppy #M3FFBE' in the Cricut Design Space library. Add the image to the canvas, then resize. Use the black poppy center as a rough guide for the size of the finished poppy. Head to make it to cut the poppy pieces from colored card.

Carnation Step 1

Add the image 'Carnation #M100445F5' to your Cricut Design Space canvas. Resize to create the size of flower you would like; I sized the spiral to 6x7 inches to create a 3-inch-sized flower once finished.

Head to make it and cut the flower pieces from colored cardstock.

Daffodil Step 1

Search for the daffodil image 'Daffodil #M10045375' in the Cricut Design Space library and add to the canvas. Resize if needed. Then proceed to cut the pieces out of medium-weight cardstock.
