More Rolled Flowers!
New Rolled Flowers Continued!
These files comes with the rolled flower design shown in the image as well as the leaf set. The designs can be sized to fit your needs and are compatible with the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. These are perfect for adding to cards, layouts, bags, boxes, creating wreaths, and more! The leaf is sized at approximately 4-1/2" x 1" to give you an idea of the size. Be sure to check out the entire collection!
Tips
For my flowers I am using a variety of cardstock weights, mostly 60# and 80# and I cut them at a slower speed (I am using 5 on my machine but if they aren't cutting well, slow it down more) as some of them are detailed in shape. Before you "unload" your mat, lift up the paper a bit to see if it has cut well...if not, push paper back down and cut again! Hot glue is my preference for flowers, it just seems to hold the best over time. I use a wide slot quilling tool, the slot is a bit wider than most which I think is easier to work with. Before I found this tool, I used tweezers to start my rolls and finished with my fingers - I often still use my fingers to roll after I get them started. Don't be afraid to roll tight and you can let loose before adhering together to achieve the look you want. And...make sure you curve the leaf pieces some too, I use a skewer to do mine but a pencil works great too!
