ANZAC Day ... Poppies






I have been busy after work each evening this week making a large poppy for the front of the Woodside Lutheran Church and 24 poppies for the ends of the pews to commemorate ANZAC Day which happens to fall on a Sunday this year.

I was really pleased with how they all turned out especially the large one which I made the petals out of a pieces of A5 and A6 Poppy Parade cardstock with lots of curling of the cardstock with my bone folder and then a lot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue to hold them in place.  (Please see my very rough sketch of how I cut out the petals.)  

I made 8 large petals and 8 small petals and glued them onto a large circle of Poppy Parade cardstock and then added a smaller black circle with a double strip of fringed black cardstock to make it look like the stamens on the flower.

For the smaller poppies I used the 2" circle punch and then punch out 8 hearts and then curled them with the bone folder and glued them onto the circle and then added the small black circle for the centre.

Cardstock:  Poppy Parade
Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Layering Circles Dies, 2" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch (retired), Heart Punch

    You'll have to tell me about ANZAC Day, since I'm in Colorado and never heard of it. I also am Lutheran and love seeing the inside of the church. Also a SU demo.

      Hi JKB, Thanks for your comment, I hope this explains ANZAC Day here in Australia and New Zealand.
      Kathryn

      Here is what we presented at the ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATION SUNDAY 25th APRIL.
      INTRODUCTION
      Today is Anzac Day, Sunday, 25th April. It is a National day of remembrance, originally to honour the first landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps were serving in the Gallipoli Campaign, as their first engagement in the First World War (1914–1918).
      Today we commemorate all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations, and we also remember the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.

      PRAYER
      Let us pray
      Dear Heavenly Father we thank you for all who serve and have served in our armed forces.
      Be with those suffering from the effects of war, both mentally and physically, and with those who have friends and relatives in current places of war.
      Comfort those mourning the loss of loved ones who have died in war and later, due to the effects of war, and for the carers of returned servicemen and women.
      May those in authority engage in war, only for the sake of peace.
      Help us to love our enemies, just as God loves the world.
      In Jesus name we pray. Amen

      SPIRIT OF THE ANZACS : REFLECTION
      We ask you now to sit quietly and reflect on Anzac Day during the presentation ‘Spirit of the Anzacs’, written and performed by Lee Kernaghan.

      Please stand for the Ode

      ODE OF REMEMBRANCE
      They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
      Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
      At the going down of the sun and in the morning
      We will remember them.

      Response:
      We will remember them
      Lest we forget
