CCC - KAREN'S CHALLENGE - USE A TEABAG FOLD OR ORIGAMI FOLD.

Hello ladies, I hope you have enjoyed your weekend and have been crafting - either a lot or a little lol!!!  I have just finished the quickest card I have ever made!!   One of me many senior moments had me thinking that the Christmas Card Club Challenge (to make a card incorporating either a teabag fold or an origami fold) commenced on 1 August - duh!!  it starts today so, following a teeny weeny (no that's a lie) following a huuuuge panic, I realised that not only did I have to make a very quick card but I also hadn't a clue as to how to do either a teabag fold or an origami fold!  Well thanks to that wonderful invention th'internet I found a tutorial for an easy 5 point origami star.  I must admit that I really have to thank the lovely Karen for setting the challenge, because I have now tried a new technique and although this is not a difficult thing to make, I was pleased with the result and I might try something more difficult next time!!!

Here is my CCC challenge card -

I have added my five point star to my card with the backside - ooops reverse side showing because I wanted to have a sort of 'dish' effect where I could add my Christmas topper.  I realise I should have asked the maestro to take a pic of my star before I glued it to my card and added the Christmas foliage!  Mind you it has been one of those days - lol!!  I am adding the link to the blog where I found the instructions.  http://www.origami-instructions.com/easy-modular-5-pointed-star.html.
