After punching or cutting a 3" circle through the cardstock,
with you slit punch, create the petals around the reverse of
the punched circle.
When punching around the circle, leave approximately 1/8"
space from the edge of the circle and between each slit
punch. Allowing the space ensure that you don't completely
cut out the flower.
Optional
If you want to cut out the flower completely, punch the slits
close together, touching one another with each punch so that
it can completely cut off from the base to create a separate
flower punch.
