Lunar Animals and Lucky Envelope with Pamela

Hello! This is Pamela taking over the blog with a project using Lunar Animals and Lucky Envelope Creative Cuts. Since I am now married, this lucky envelope die will come in handy when I want to create my own red pocket to give out during Chinese New Year! I first picked out a few ink pads - Rain Water, Dark Storm, and Stargazer and Delicata Gold. Then I took some washi tape and started to mask around the card to create a border.

  

Here is the finished blending! I carefully peel off the washi strips to reveal the triangle border.

 

 Now it's time to create my gift card holder! I use the Treat Topper Creative Cut and die cut a topper with some pattern paper. I stitched an envelope using clear acetate sheets and slipped in this Year of the Lamb Starbucks gift card before tying the topper to the clear pocket with some twine. 

 

And here you go! A card to go with a gift card to say farewell to the year of the Ram, and to welcome the year of the Monkey!

  

A matching Starbucks gift card to start someone's New Year the awesome way!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Lunar Extras and Lucky Envelope with Vera

Hi there! It's Vera here! 

I’m excited to share this fun little project with you today

 using Lunar Extra stamps and Lucky Envelope Creative Cuts dies. 

First, I stamped Lunar Animals images and colored with copics marker then cut it out with the coordinating dies. I die cut some inverted scalloped circle and blending with dye ink pad then arranged them into red envelopes for Lunar Year!

I heat embossed the sentiment here and there on the red envelopes 

using mustard embossing powder

 

 

 

Thank you so much for joining with me

Vera
