I might be barking up the wrong tree here asking digi scrappers but hey you never know until you ask and figured we have a lot of truly talented crafters here so thought I'd try my luck.

Can those of you in the know hit me up with your favourite 'how to flower making' resources?

Just so you know I don't have a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo so I can't use cut files but I do have circle die cuts and have found some okay sites but thought lets see what this sweet community might be able to throw in the mix :)

I am just getting into making felt flowers, but I do have a Cricut. Are you talking felt or paper flowers, or something else?
 
If I wasn't using bought flowers (eg Prima), I used my Sizzix big shot and a variety of different flower dies when I did paper scrapbooking. Using different media such as vellum, acetate, felt, lace, tulle etc added more interest as did stamping and heat embossing on them. I just went to my long neglected blog and had a bit of a memory lane moment looking through paper pages I'd uploaded on there. Just been to the Sizzix site and this link is specifically for flowers. Or if you go back to their general store and select flowers and nature then filters for the different die styles you get many more ideas.

Warning. Looking at how-to-make your own flower videos is like jumping right in a rabbit hole. I've done it. I just type how to make... and whatever and get lost for a few hours.

Totally, but it is a nice few hours. If I ever do CU, it will be flowers I have made.

Lol, thats the very reason why I'm asking you guys for links. Honestly I have spent way too much time trawling youtube and google. I have found some lovely tutorials but in all honesty they are all starting to look the same and I'm going bug eyed now haha!

All kinds of flowers but namely paper ones. I've seen so many tutorials but its all the same same so was hoping you guys might have some interesting flowers, what exactly I don't know, but I do know I want something other than a rose, or a poppy or origami style. YKWIM?

Ah yes the good ole Sizzix. I got rid of so many of my paper crafting tools a million years ago, except for my Cuttlebug still have that trusty die cutter ;)

Had Pinterest open and came across this page: https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/109001253474890020/
But they may look like the ones you've seen already.

Not sure if you've seen how people make those roses out of meat for a cheese/charcuterie board, but you can use that technique with paper rounds as well.

You know what that would actually make an interesting flower for a food inspired kit, a Salami rosette! Into the memory bank that idea goes haha
