One Scrap at a Time

Here are two more flowers made using the Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge. The technique used in both of these flowers are the same, just different flower cut, size and paper type. Hope you enjoy and it inspires you to make your own. (share if you do). ~Tee

I have gotten a lot of very positive feedback on my roses made with the Flower Shoppe cartridges that I decided to make a video to walk you though making them. See the video here: I cut my flowers at 2 1/2" and inked with Tim Holtz Distressed Inks. I hope this video inspires you to make your own! If you do, please make sure you post so I can see.

Here are some roses I made using Flower Shoppe - - I think these are my favorite so far!!! Here is how I made them.. 1) Cut 4 flowers at the size of your choice. The yellow/orange are at 2" and the pink is at 2 1/2".  Ink your edges on both sides. 2)  Using something round and cup each pedal and glue the tab to close flowers. 3)  Cut down each pedal very close to the center. 4) Take one pedal from one flower and roll into a cone. This is the center of your flower. 5) Take all the other pedals on this one flower and wrap around the center. 6) Cut the bottom off and glue to the center of the second flowers. 7) Add glue to the center of each pedal on the second flower and push into the center. Using your pedal roller pull back the top of the pedals and curl under. 8)  Pinch and curl the edges of the last two flower. 9) Glue all together alternating pedals... Now the fun begins.... Play with it until you have the look you want. ~Tee

It will look like this. 3) Add adhesive on two of the three strips as see here 4) Bring the strips up on each side as s...

My girlfriend, Jearise , talked me into making a tutorial video on how to make this cute 3D candy box using Create a Critter.   I must admit it didn't take much to be talked into it. I think the entire conversation was ME: Maybe I will make a new video with this?? Jearise: I think you should. ME: Ok, I will make it! Haha, so here you are - my newest video tutorial. I did go into the settings of my cricut and changed the UNITS to 1/10 vs 1/4. Would love some feedback on my video - the good, the bad and the ugly. Wait, no bad or ugly... :) Oval is cut at: 3 @ 4.7 1 @ 4.5 1 @ 4.4 Chick and cracked egg is cut at 3 Strips are cut at 2" and 1 1/2" scored at the 1/2" Thanks for watching ~~Tee

Maybe, I will make a video on how to make it as well  Cricut Cuts: Heart from page 119 Basic George Cut two at 7 1/2, one at 6 1/2 and 1 at 6 1/4 You also need two strips at 12 x 2 1/2 and 12 x 1 1/2 Leave me some love!!

I cut the flower out of Paisley (page 41) at 3.5" three times. I used a tooth pick to score the petals. The center of the flower was cut at 1.5, 1.25 and 1" and curled with a tooth pick. I love how this turned out.
