G'Day Australia

The challenge for today with the Crazy 4 challenges team is...….

Celebrate! January always feels so long, but it’s coming to a close. Make a card to Celebrate! You can make a birthday card, a card to celebrate an upcoming holiday, a card for
someone who has a new job, going on a vacation etc. Let’s Celebrate


Today is a day to celebrate living in this multi- cultural country Australia. It what ever way you came to live in this country, it is worth the celebrations.

I finally had the chance to play with the technique, the twist circle forest that Karen Burniston showed us with a tutorial, in November last year.
The twist circle die currently come with the snowman twist circle die set, although if you had the previously released twist circle set you could use that. I was so disappointed that I had lost the main part of that set when I went to use it, Karen kindly sent me a replacement piece. Thanks so much Karen, this card would not have been possible without your generosity.

I used Ultimate crafts dies to create an Australian bush themed pop up card. As you open and close the card, the twist circle folds the Kangaroo and bush grass up and down.

Supplies:

Karen Burniston - Twist circle pop-up die

Ultimate Crafts - G'Day mate stamps, dies - Kangaroo, ironbark branch, gum leaves, Australia map, G,Day, grass tree, tall grass tree, eucalyptus blossom.

Distress inks and copic pens
