Festive Friday #0076 - Chinese New Year / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday #0076 - Chinese New Year

Friday, 22 January 2021

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge #FF0076 is Chinese New Year on February 12th. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

For today's challenge, I selected red, gold and foil paper from this week’s Inspo List to create this great little gift for someone special in your life. I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create.

The inspiration for my project started with the amazing Potted Succulents Dies from the new Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue! I cut the overlay die out of Real Red Cardstock and adhered it to the top of a Gold Mini Pizza Box. Add some Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon, a sentiment from the the Enjoy the Moment stamp set and some Gilded Gems - makes a quick and easy gift box!

For the note cards I cut 3 pieces of Real Red cardstock 3" x 6" and scored at 3". For the embellishment, I cut the overlay pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and adhered them to the note card. The sentiment is from the Enjoy the Moment stampset - stamped in Real Red ink.

Instructions
