Lunar New Year 2012 is just one week away and the agenda is
filing up with friends banquet invitation and family gathering. I’m looking forward to go to China-town to see
lion-dance, firecracker, street stalls, and other cultural performances.
Last year, I made red-envelope for the lucky money to
give to relative kids (read here). This year I created the red-envelope to give
to my parents as a gift to wish them health and prosperity.
Red patterned paper is the base of the envelope. I dress it
up with paper doilies and red ribbon. The dragon designed by lemongraphic was glued onto gold cardstock. I printed
little tag of “Happy New Year” and glued onto gold cardstock to finish it off.
The result is a chic fusion stylish lucky-money envelope.
For dinner party with friends and family, I created paper fortune cookies using various
red patterned paper. I filled it with chocolate and various famous quotes. Loving the result and how pretty they look
bunched together or just on its own.
Happy Lunar Year! Have a prosperous year filled with great
health and happiness.
