Tutorial: Punched Flowers
Since I've been on a punched flower kick, I thought I'd do a quick tutorial...
Circle Punches
1. Both kinds of flowers start with this basic template drawn on the back of the punched circle. This makes it easier to space out the individual punches.
2. Using an 1/8" punch, punch on each line. Then punch in between those punches with the 1/16" punch.
Cut Petals
1. Start with the same template drawn on the back of the punched circle.
2. Cut slightly into the center of the circle using each line as a guide. Then cut slightly to the right of each cut, making a triangular shape that will fall off creating petals.
Hope that helps! I love making these flowers.

What gorgeous cards - love your flowers and the punched circles. I used these on a s'booking page on SCS and listed your blog - thanks again.
