Good Evening to you all,
Tonight I wanted to share with you some of the creations the Card Swap Group have produced for the last Swap!
The criteria was to create a card for this months Swap around the ' Four Seasons'!
The card had to be:-
5" x 5"
Have four panels on the card. One panel per season! (Any Shape you like)!
The design had to include
* Embossing powder
* Diamond Gem/s
* Something Gold
* Stamped Image/s



So here are the cards! I have also added the members Blog addresses if they have one! 
This was the card I created!



Gill Ingram was the designer behind this card! Its bright and alive! Unfortunately she doesn't have a blog!

This card was created by Tracy May and it was her first swap with the group! Check out all the little cutouts and the lovely papers for each seasons! Check out Tracy's blog http://bedlamandbutterflies.blogspot.co.uk/



This card was sent out by Sam Sweetlove! I totally agree when she wrote that the group all had the same remit but each card was so different!
Here is the link to Sam's Blog:-http://www.craftylittlebling.com/


This next card was created by Maria! From the photo I can see that the panels have been cut out of patterned paper and certain elements have been layered on top!

Lotus Flower using Origami

Good Evening fellow crafters!
I have a quick photo tutorial to show you on how to make an Origami Lotus Flower!

Luke, a friend of my son showed me how to make it and I have taken photos at each step!

As he was making it, I had a "light bulb"moment!
This would make a brilliant coaster for my icy drink I thought! (Has anyone else ever done this? I don't believe I am the first person to think of it)!

Anyway, here is how to make it and what you need:-
One Napkin
Flat Surface
Drinking Glass

Take one Napkin and open it up flat on the table!
*Fold each corner into the middle of the square




*Once all four corners are folded do the same thing again!





*Do the same thing again for a 3rd time!



*Turn the napkin over and fold all four corners into the middle again!


*Now, place the folded napkin onto an up turned glass.




*Gently pull each petal down, keep going around all four corners, and all levels!



Once you have pulled down all the petals, turn the flower over a nd place your glass into the middle.
No more water drips when you have cold icy drinks!
