Today I have a project that would be a great for a wedding shower or a garden party. I made these flowers using the Giant Flowers cartridge. They are all the peony cut and look how different they all look. I have to tell you I might just be a flower making junkie.
Anyway, I simply cut out the flowers at 7" and attached them to a floral stick using hot glue. Not a hard project once you get the hang of making the flowers.
Than you so much for stopping by today! I will be posting a great project on my other blog later on today made using the Art Deco cartridge, so make sure you check that out by clicking here ==> Courtney Lane Designs
Don't forget we are giving away a Cricut Sesame Street Elmo and Friends Seasons cartridge!

Making these flowers for a banquet in June. Colorful tables! April 29th give away......my birthday!
Oh, I think Owls are adorable...I love your flowers and they reminded me of the ones I saw on HSN yesterday (they were showcasing the Cricut E2). They had some beautiful giant flowers on their boards! I definitely have to get this cartridge...just beautiful.
Very pretty flowers. Thanks
We live across the street from conservation land, and sometimes we hear the owls at night!
I'd really like the Elmo Cartridge to make things for my kids. They love Elmo even though they are in their teens!
What a great job on your flowers! I don't have that particular cartridge, but I'm going to try and do some with one of my others. Thanks for the idea.
Capegills
Very pretty flowers. They are so real looking too.

What beautiful flowers! I've been 'Owl-crazy' since my daughter started college at Bryn Mawr and their mascot is an owl!! I think if there's a cart with an owl on it, I have it!! Birthday cards, holiday cards, stationery gifts for her and her friends - you name it!! She's going to be a senior next year, but I'm still going to be an 'owl person' after she graduates!!
Thanks for the chance to win a great cart!!
I've grudgingly come around to liking owls. The one on Create a Critter is too cute and I like a few others too. I need to decorate a nursery soon, so some owls might just make an appearance.
The flowers!! WOW! Ok so I need the cartridge now!!
Love the paper flowers, so cute.
How beautiful! I need this cartridge!
Oh and yes yes yes I love owls!!
I love owls!!! They are adorable!!! I use them a lot in my boys pages! Thanks for the chance!

These flowers are so beautiful. I am a flower hound. There is nothing more beautiful than flowers in a lovely vase! With this I could have them all the time!
Kathleen jbaugh1481@aol.com
I love owls as they have the reputation of being "wise," however, when you they peer through you with their empty gaze...it makes you wonder what they think about! As far as the Seasame Street Friends Seasons cartridge..I have been trying to get one for just over a week. Both my grandbabies (ages 27 and 14 months) love Elmo and the gang. That cartridge would add so much to their books! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Wow!Beautiful Flowers!So Delicate!
I have the cart but have not used it.I found it a lil too much but after this post I am going to try to play with it.TFS

I don't have this cart but sure want it. I do love owls.
I just got the giant flowers cartridge and to be honest have been a little intimated to use it. But seeing what you created has given me some confidence that I too can create some flowers. I am thinking I need to do that for Mother's day.
I really want this cart! Such pretty flowers!

They are so pretty! This cart is definately on my wish list. I have flower shop and love it! I just bought fabric yesterday to attempt a wreath. Wish me luck!
The flowers are gorgeous. I see so many possibilites with flowers of this size. Thanks for the inspiration. A wreath of a different material would look wonderful.
I love flowers and have only used the giant flower cartridge once and was pleased with the results. I love owls and did a many a twit twoo calls, as a brown owl at our local church. I love your blog, so up the good work and thanks for a chance to win the Sesame cartridge.

I love flowers and because we are gone for most of the summer I can't plant any in my yard. No one to take of them in the hot summer. So this would be perfect to take along and "plant" around the RV.
I think I could get realy used to making those roses!

I was looking at that flower cart, and wondering what would I do with those. Now that I see the ones you made I know what I can do with them, those are so much better then real flowers they never die. I need to get this cart, My name is Michelle and I am addicted to cricut cartridges. I also love the sesame street, I have been wanting this cart since it came out, I was debating it but never got it, one day.
I love these flowers
cute!!
I love the big flowers!
Depends on the type of owl.
Love the flowers. Just might have to buy the cart.

I love this cartridge. Your flowers are wonderful. I do like owls in nature but do not use them in my crafting.
That Sesame Street cartridge is just adorable. I am imagining the birthday decorations I could make for my almost two year old with that one! Yes, I obsess with making homemade decorations when it would be so much easier to buy them. It is so much more fun though!
Beautiful flowers. I wasn't sure what to do with that cartridge when I saw it. Thanks for the idea!
I love all the cartridges you showed here. Would love to have them all. I need to buy some new ones.
I love those flowers. Thanks for sharing.

Colleen
Love the flowers. I'm wondering if I could make one similar with the flower carts I own. I'll have to look at it closer
This confirms that I absolutely want this cartridge. I was teeter-tottering on the idea of buying it, but I'm sold. Thank you so much for posting about this cartridge.

Great flowers. Very cute. I'm not into owls as much as some people, but they've been coming out with some really cute owl graphics.
I love the flowers, thanks for sharing! I love owls, I have a few carts picked because of the owl graphic. Love the sesame street cart too! My family are huge fans! Thanks!
What cute flowers...they seem like the perfect way to decorate at my mom's big milestone birthday this year!! I can't wait to start making them!
Great project and much easier than wearing out my arthritic hands using a punch over and over! Thanks!
Gwen in Carleton
Beautiful project! They would spice up any project! Owls...the real animal...not so much a fan but love cute little graphics or cutouts :)
Just love the flowers very cool.
WOW those flowers rock, I love them, so big and real looking, great job ladies woot
I'm already and follower and already subscribed, for some reason I didn't get this emails this week :( Having trouble getting emails from several sites I'm signed up on! Not sure why.
Beautiful flowers and such great colors...they'd look so pretty on top of wrapped gift too.
Love the flowers! And yes, I like owls too! All of a sudden they're everywhere and my daughter likes them too. She keeps pointing them out to me. I'm painting letters for her room and hand decorating them and of course one of the letters has to have owls all over it!!
Such Beautiful flowers. When they are 3-D they look more real.
Love the flowers! I love the demention they will give to projects....so pretty!

Those flowers are awesome! Curling the petals is a nice touch. I have yet to use my Flower Shoppe cart.
Who doesn't think owls are precious? Silly people thats whoo!
It is alwaysa pleasure to see diffrent types of cartridges used, especially the specialty ones as it can be hard to decide to purcharse them.

Doing my girls room owls so yes think they are very cute.
I like owls! I have an owl Christmas onament on my tree every year.
Great flowers! Would love to win!
I want to learn to make these flowers, even in a smaller version!! ADORABLE!!!
I have the giant flowers cart but have been a bit intimidated by it. Your flowers are gorgeous and have inspired me to get the cart out and play with it until I get it right!!!
I haven't bought this cartridge because I'm a bit intimidated by it but your beautiful project may encourage me to try it out.
just discovered your blog, very inspirational!
Love the flowers! I've started making them with Flower Shoppe, so I appreciate you sharing these with us...absolutely beautiful!
Love those 3-d flowers!
I do not think that "40" is over the hill. Age is a number and attitude is the key! As long as we are still having those birthdays, we are Good!
Teresa
Owls? I don't love them but my friends really do...so cards and gifts often have them. But love the large flowers! And would love the Elmo cart! So much to do and so little time! Love my orig cricut for travel and my "II" for home...great time saver!
Just opened my "Big Flowers" cartridge -- hope there's something on here to help me figure them out -- they look so cool!
