Does anyone have a file for the rosette flower that has score lines instead of the perforated lines such as on the Tim Holz die. I don't like how the perfs show thru the flower rosette. TIA

This is a die with the perforations, which I do not like. I would rather have score lines. TIA:

letteringdelights.com has some rosette files, very reasonably priced. I purchased them but have not cut them yet; it looks like the score lines are marked but not perferated. hope this helps. Jeanette

you can also cut a 2" or wider x 12" (depending on the size you want, and score it at each 1/4.

What is the trick to keeping a rosette together? No matter how I try to hold them together they keep popping apart!

I've used a hot glue gun with success.

Thanks! I will get the hot glue gun out of the garage :) I am going to try again today!
UPDATE: Perfect...that worked GREAT!
I learned a tip once...to take the papers that people throw away at the post office that peel off the back of the large postage stamp labels...they have a shiney side like freezer paper. Anyway, I do this now and have them handy. I put one on the counter shiney side up and then positioned my rosette on the shiney side and put the hot glue all in the center and a bit on the fold edge there and then put on the flower center on that side...I let it cool and then turned it over and did the other side.
Thanks for the 'know how', Kate!
