Flower Shoppe Cartridge

Happy Sunday!  Yesterday at took a class at my LSS - The Cutting Garden - we made a beautiful mini album.  I am going to make one for my mum as her brag book this year.  Anyway, the girls were talking about all their dies - spellbinders etc.  I got me wondering how many dies I have - I realized that I have 3 - that is kind of sad, but I so love my Cricut, that I have never really felt I needed anything more than that.  The girls were trying to convince me that one rolled flower die was not enough.  I really felt that I could find a Cricut cartridge that would cover all my flower needs.  The dies run $15 and up here, and I knew their had to be a cheaper way.

I went to Michaels last night, and bought the Flower Shoppe cartridge.  After I got home, I decided to cut the 10 versions that can be rolled, and see what options this cartridge provided for me.  I decided to take a picture and post it here, just in case anyone was considering this cartridge.  Here are those 10 flowers:


I laid them out in the order that they are on the cartridge, the first 10 cuts.  I cute everything in white and sponged them in pink.  Here are some close ups...


I love both of these.  They look very much like gorgeous roses.  I rolled each of these with my quilling tool.  It is just perfect to roll these flowers.


These two I don't like quite as much, though my husband really liked number 3 - neither of us like number 4 much though...


This one I do like.  It's really pretty.


I just LOVE these ones.  I think they are both gorgeous!  I think they're my favorite on the whole cartridge!


Number 8 is so pretty too!  Number 9 - meh -


Number 10 is OK - I like it better than # 9 - even though it's similar...

I know these rolled flowers aren't the actual intention for these cuts, but I think they look really pretty, and I am pretty sure they fulfill all my rolled flower needs!

I'll be back tomorrow with my Paper Playtime DT project, hope to see you then!

A la prochaine...
