Just a Little Oriental

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! I hope you've all had a great celebration thus far reuniting with friends, family or just enjoying the long weekend.

Although a little late to be giving you CNY ideas, my project this week are two CNY card ideas using very un-CNY paper packs!

The mini paper pack in my DT kit this month is the Webster's Pages Triple Pack In Love, Palm Beach and Game On. The colours and patterns are so versatile I guarantee you will find many, many uses for them, just like I did.

1) Card One uses the lantern stamp from Graphic 45/Hampton Art Bird Song stamp pack. These have been stamped on patterned paper, cut out and embossed with clear embossing powder. The lanterns have been strung on basic red twine. The flowers have been cut using a Martha Stewart flower punch. The rhinestones are actually from my January DT kit, that I somehow could not fit in the earlier projects.

 For this project I used: 
  • Webster's Pages Triple Pack In Love, Palm Beach and Game On
  • Graphic 45/Hampton Art Bird Song Stamps
  • Prima Say it In Crystals
  • Martha Stewart flower punch
  • Distress stickles in Spun Sugar
  • Basic red twine
  • Hero Arts Hero Hues card base in reds

2) The second project was very simple. The cherry blossom stamp embossed in pink made a pretty centre piece for the card. The twine, basic rhinestones and oriental 'buttons' just finish it off.





For this project, I used:

  • Webster's Pages Triple Pack In Love, Palm Beach and Game On
  • Graphic 45/Hampton Art Bird Song Stamps
  • Bird Song Sticker sheet
  • Kaisercraft basic rhinestones
  • Zing embossing powder
  • Red twine
  • Scalloped scissors for edging.
  • Hero Arts Hero Hues card base in reds

* All items are available at Papier while stocks last.
