So I went back to the blog (you can find it here) to see how she made hers. She has a silhouette, and I have a Cricut so her file was useless to me. So I had to make my own!
I used the 3D Floral Home Decor cartridge(it's available with your Cricut Subscription!) I used the Fall Leaf and the poinsettia, welded them together to create the long flower like Cat used in her post. The one on the left is before I welded it, then one one the right is the resulting petal.
I then duplicated the petals, so I had 6, and arranged them around a circle, and welded it together and duplicated the petal circle in order to have 3, and then made each one a different size. The largest is 2.59 x 2.76, the medium one is 2.05 x 2.19 and the smallest is 1.5 x 1.6. The leaves are 2.5", pollen is .4"
I used the leaves and pollen from the original poinsettia image, and this is what the resulting cut was!
I then began assembly! (I used a thin paintbrush to curl the petals)
Here's the finished project!
And here's a link to the project using a cricut: http://bit.ly/prettypoinsettia
I'm looking forward to using these poinsettias when Christmas finally arrives!
