3 Ideas to Celebrate Chinese New Year

February 16, 2015 by Francine Clouden

Chinese New Year falls on February 19th this year, and if you want to celebrate or document the holiday here are three quick and simple ideas you can use. The first comes from Hattifant, and is this delightful fold out dancing dragon card to share with friends and family.

DancingDragon_Hattifant_CG_1

You can download the free template in two versions: one is already colored in, or you can get a blank dragon to color yourself. Manja explains exactly how to construct the card and envelope before sending.

 

Printable_Red_Envelope for Chinese New Year

Use this printable red gift giving envelope with gold apple blossom design from Lia Griffith for cash gifts. The envelope is sized to the US dollar bill and the printable PDF is on one sheet of letter sized paper. I think it would make a great pocket for holding journaling on a scrapbook page.

How-To-Make-A-Paper-Fortune-Cookie

Follow Tara’s instructions at Unsophitcook to make these decorative paper fortune cookies. A great way to use up some of that stash of patterned papers!

Happy Chinese New Year!
