My cricut "punch" roses

     Hello my crafty friend, today I thought I would share the roses I make with you.  When I make roses or other flowers I generally like to make extra's and with these being so easy I make 30 roses at a time. I originally made these using a five flower punch.  I saw a youtube video on how to one night and can't seem to relocate it. Anyway using a punch to make them at 5 flowers per rose, is not only time consuming but it is painful for me.  Soooo I decided heyyyy I have DS and a Cricut, and I know how to use em, design them!!!  ;) LOL
     I used a circle and 5 tear drop shapes from a cricut cartridge and welded together to design these. I cut these out at 1" but you can cut bigger or smaller. And I used a glue gun to assemble as even my quick dry glue wasn't working for me. You can use any five petal flower on a cartridge, I also seen one that the petals weren't the right shape but I altered it in DS and it is almost the same as these. So anybody can make these, just have to pick which flower to use.

I really love these roses and have made hundreds of them. I make them in solid colours and white with the edges inked. I haven't tried patterned paper yet but I plan on it. I use a punch for the leaves I put with them most of the time but sometimes I cut them out on the cricut or I use one of my leaves dies by spellbinders or sizzix. And lots of times I accompany the roses and leaves with the branch MS punch, its so pretty and multi- funtional.  

Here's a card I made with these roses
