I've used the flower shapes from the Watering Can & Flowers Digital File to cut out the petals and leaves for both of these but I have rolled green card to make the stems. Craft Perfect A4 card is perfect for this :)
Bouquet Make
Step 1
Position the red card on the cutting machine mat. Link to computer.
Step 2
Select the round petal shaped flower and, keeping at the original size, duplicate and cut each part out 6 times.
Step 3
Shape all the flowers with an embossing tool.
Step 4
Glue the layers on top of each other to make 6 layered flowers.
Step 5
Cut 6 strips of green card measuring 5cm x 16cm.
Step 6
Curl the card with an embossing tool several times in different directions to break down the fibres and make the card more pliable.
Step 7
Twist the card diagonally around a skewer or knitting needle to create a stem. Make 6 stems.
Step 8
Glue the end in place.
Step 9
Bend over 1.5cm at the top of each stem and add glue.
Step 10
Glue this tab to the back of the flower. Repeat 6 times.
Step 11
Cut 6 strips of red card measuring 0.5cm x 12cm and roll up with the quilling tool. Glue the ends to secure then glue into the centres of the flowers.
Step 12
Cut a 19cm square of black card. Stretch the fibres slightly on the bottom half with a bone folder.
Step 13
Roll into a cone shape and secure the side with double sided tape.
Step 14
Glue the flowers into the cone with the hot glue gun. Add a Polka Dot bow and 2 red die cut hearts.
Step 15
Add Morning Dew Crystal Drops to the flowers and leave to dry.
Single Rose Make
Step 1
Select the petal shape shown and cut out 12 times, Shape with an embossing tool.
Roll 2 petals with the quilling tool and glue together.
Step 2
Add glue to the base of 2 more petals and glue around the first 2.
Step 1
Cut a 0.5cm strip of red card and add double sided tape along it.
Step 2
Attach the rest of the petals in a row leaving a little gap at the bottom.
Step 1
Roll this with the quilling tool and secure tightly at the end. Snip off the bottom of the first little bud petals to fit inside the rolled petals.
Step 2
Make a stem as before and glue into the base of the rose bud.
Cut out several green leaves with the same petal file and shape slightly with an embossing tool.
Step 1
Glue 4 around the rode bud as shown and add 2 more on the stem.
Step 2
Add a heart die cut to the stem with red ribbon.
