I have updated the template to show the cutting lines that I used to make my rose. Also attaching a new screen shot.
Have this time included a GSD template for those who use that format.
Have fun making your roses.

only 2 layers to this one
think it would look great with bent wire as the stamen.
Hi there, last night I decided to make a smaller rose as the first one was quite large.
I reduced the template to approx. 1.750" and made a lilac rose, photo attached.
Also attached is the gsd file for the smaller rose as well as a photo of both sizes.
The smaller rose is quite fiddly but worth the effort I think, especially for cards.

Hi
was having a browse of paper flowers on youtube and came accross a tutorial for prima style flowers using a die cut. Well I had a look for that particular die and then thought just design something similar, so I did and have and here you are!
That don't actually look much like the video but she used thick mulberry paper and as we know the robo won't cut that. So I used 120gsm pearl paper, the cream one I just embossed in my bug and the reddy gold one I used versamark over the embossing folder and cosmic shimmer over. The paper rose in the middle I sprayed with glue and dusted with cosmic shimmer.
I rather like them and colouring them way means I will be unlimited for colours!!
Hope they are of some use to someone

I saw these :rolleyes: and thought they look easy to make. I used Saru's flower dings here are 2 to get you started.
I really wanted a very small pot of flowers. :rolleyes:
Hi
wanted an 8 petal rose to make fuller roses so did this, hope they are of some use to someone. I have cut them all in very pale cream pearl paper and chalked some, left one set alone. One sheet makes 5 flowers
Cheers

Sorry yes on the largest flower make a slit from the middle out, on the next largest remove and throw away one petal, next size down, remove and keep 2 petals, then next size down remove and keep 3 petals and on the last cut in half.
glue each flower together overlapping the petal, shape the petals (I use an embossing tool to curve the petals). On the now 7 petalled layer, squash down in the middle and apply a largish dollop of glue, on the 6 petal flower cut a small bit off the point at the bottom and place on top, do this for all of the flowers. On the 2 petal piece you have kept from cutting out, wind that round the embossing tool and cut from the bottom approx a third of theis becomes your central piece.
If I get time tomorrow I will try and do some photos to go with this, although there may well be something on youtube.
Because I can't be bothered to hold the petals together when glueing I bought some tiny craft pegs and use these. Can't think why I didn't buy them before!!
Hope this helps

Hi
saw on a site somewhere some flowers where they pinch them to give them dimension, so did these, hope they are of some use to someone.
the holly is from the studio library

Hope it helps Rae
Posted this on the chat page by mistake. sorry guys!
This is a 3D effect flower and I have included a couple of leaves. You just cut it, roll it up, secure with a little glue then bend back the petals a little. I made it to decorate a gift box and it looks really nice. If used to decorate a card you would need a box as it is quite deep. Hope it's of some use - the file is set to cut the flower only and not the leaves as different colour card could be used for those. Gsd and svg formats are available on my blog.
Fill the basket with your favourite flowers!
A few people have asked me for the flowers and leaves in my Mothers Day basket so I thought I would post the file in case anyone else would like it.
