When you think about using Cricut® flowers on your scrapbooking, you probably think of something like this…
…a large flower cluster in a corner, or maybe a wreath. This certainly is a beautiful way to embellish a page, but have you ever thought about making your Cricut® flowers itty bitty?
While large flowers create a dramatic focal point, mini-sized flowers add a certain daintiness to your artwork.
To create the littlest flowers on this page, we actually used the inside pieces from the other daisies on the page. Aren’t they so cute and sweet? 🙂
Mini Cricut®-cut flowers also work really well on cards. You can use them to frame your stamping, and when you use layered images like these, you get lots of extra dimension.
Another great thing about mini flowers is that you have more flexibility for arranging them on your page. We love the idea of creating custom borders with these little flowers, like you see on the page above. It creates such a beautiful accent and draws the eye in to the photos.

Wow, beautiful LOs. I love the Flower Market cartridge and have cut many flowers form it.
Thanks, Laurie! Yes, it’s a great collection!
Beautiful cards and layouts! I love flowers! I especially like that you included the image numbers with the recipes!!! Thank you so much <3
You are so welcome, Sylvia! 🙂
Thankyou for giving me another point of view on flowers. I have not known what to do with them and you have made me enthusiastic about my cricut machine. Thankyou
Oh good, we’re so happy to hear that! Have fun creating! 🙂
Lovely idea, especially on the cards – they look so dainty.
Thanks for putting the Design Space numbers in, I just got a Cricut Air 2 and am getting to know DS.
You’re welcome, Clare! Glad you like the artwork. 🙂
I love using the small flowers on cards. The border idea is especially great to frame pictures of any Size!
Exactly! We agree with you 100%, Peggy! 🙂
Just love these ideas!!!
Thanks, Jackie! 🙂
What size Thin cut circles are used for the circles on the cards? If we are using the cricut to cut the flowers, why cant the size of the circles be given to cut with Cricut?
Hi, Debi! We didn’t list the Cricut® cuts for the circles because we used our Thin Cuts dies to cut them. If you want to cut them using your Cricut® though, they are 2″ and 2 1/2″. Hope that helps!
Different framing style for the XOXO page. Please comment. Had never though of using different colored, patterned paper to frame a pix.
Hi, Doris! Sorry, what is it that you want to know?
Love the artwork. I;m now going to try using the flowers more on my cards.Flower Market has been one of my favourite Cricut Collections.
Oh good, glad to hear it! 🙂
