When my (now adult) twin granddaughters were children I made them cloth bunnies for their birthday. The material I used for the flowers in this challenge were made from scraps from the bunny dresses. The inside will include a picture of them with their bunnies IF I can find one.
I'm not sure if it's okay to change the way things are done or not ... but... I didn't have any freezer paper so I came up with another way of making fabric flowers. I have some paper called Sticky Dots. Tonight I cut strips of card stock the size of my die & put them on that paper. Then I peeled them off & put them on the fabric. I ran the fabric with the paper stuck to it through the cuttlebug using my flower die. It cut perfectly. The flowers have a paper back so they were easy to attach to the card & the edges donÂ’t fray. The paper also made it easy to fold the petals up a little. ItÂ’s not the way the tutorial was for making fabric flowers but it sure works great.

WOW!!! Your flowers looks SOOOO beautiful!! What a great way you figured out to back the fabric. And it uses NO iron!! YAY!! I don't know why I despise that iron so much. What a great story about your granddaughters bunnies that you made them. I hope you can find a picture of them! GREAT card!!
