How to Make 3D flowers a Silhouette Tutorial

Here is some of what you can expect in the Silhouette store this week: 

3D flowers that assemble with a brad. 

I also have some Easter files going into the store.

They are really easy and fun to make, and you can mix and match parts from each of the sets to come up with even more flower options.

Here's what you will need:

A digital cutting Machine 

Assorted Cardstock

Brads

Stamping ink pads

You will also need the following Silhouette digital cutting files:

These instructions will work for each of these flowers. 

First use Stamping Ink to direct-ink the edges. 

 Do that for each of the layers with a coordinating color.

 After all is inked, then slide a brad through the center, adding the smallest layer first, then working up to the largest layer. Start to curl the edges of the flower with your fingers, or by rolling on a pencil.

This is what your flower will look like when finished. 

I'd love to see your projects that incorporate these flowers.
