I love to teach. Mostly all things Cricut, but I have taught other things in my days. Cards, calendars, you name it. While my days are now filled with Cricut, I still love all those other things as well.
There are many ways that I learn new things. I take other classes, talk to other instructors and also read books.
One of my favorites is called Paper Bouquet: Using Paper Punches to Create Beautiful Flowers
One thing I’d like to mention is that it does require a lot of punches that you might think are difficult to find, however I have found an ebay seller that has quite a few of the flower punches. They’re inexpensive and all in once place. The seller also has a store
full of other craft goodies. At first I was discouraged because I really wanted to make these beautiful flowers, but after finding this seller, this book became invaluable to me.
Then an even better idea came to me. Why couldn’t I design these same flowers on Design Studio for Cricut? So this is what I did. Even better, I’ve included a file for you, with more to come.

I found that book in a small shop in Texas while visiting friends. Loved it but when looking at purchasing all those punches, whoa! So Thank You for this file (now I have to do that update!). Please do pansy and sweetpea petals next!!!! Also, I had looked at a number of my carts and found leaves that might work with these flowers…what do you think?

I have this book – in fact it is what got me started back into my crafting. I fell out of it for several years, and it feels very good to be back.
I am thrilled to see designs for the cricut from this book — because I’ll tell you, collecting all of the punches was not only a pain; it was expensive. I think after about 5 months of searching and collecting, I can literally only ‘properly’ make 2-3 flowers from the book.
So. HURRAY for Cricut!
