Paper Flower Scallop Circle Bouquet

Ever need a bouquet and hate to have the flowers die right away?  Here's an idea.  A guest at a workshop showed me how she cut many flowers at once with her Cricut ... and then I told her how easy that would be with the Big Shot and the Bigz dies.  I used some of my retired colors for this project (yoyo yellow, crushed curry, ruby red, only orange, really rust), cut out 4 scallops for each flower, snipped into the centers, folded the petals both directions, then used pop-up glue dots to attach them to floral tape covered wooden dowels from H.D.  The centers are 1" and 1 1/4" punched circles.  Super easy and I'll have this bouquet all season long!  Yes!

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Blessings,
Julie
