Kung Hei Fat Choi!

....that's "May You Become Prosperous" in Cantonese, a popular greeting during the Chinese New Year. For this week's Asian theme project for My Sheri Crafts, I decided to make some coin envelopes, to spread prosperity around. I used my Gypsy and my Zooballoo cartridge. The dimensions are: height: 3" and width: 11". It is larger than your usual coin envelope, but I was thinking of being able to use them for mini albums as well. I used cardstock from DCWV which I embossed using embossing folders from Cuttlebug's Asian Bundle. The stamped images are Asian Characters from Inkadinkado, which I heat-embossed using Red Dragon embossing powder from Stamp 'n Stuff. I just added strips of washi paper to compete the design.

Happy New Year!

It's a strange coincidence that today is 1/1/11. :-) My projects for My Sheri Crafts for this week are party hats. I used paper from Basic Grey's Two Scoops Paper Pack, which I cut using the crown keys of my Once Upon A Princess Cricut cartridge and my Gypsy. Both party hats were cut at Fit To Page.Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists were used to make both hats sparkle. I used my Textured Textile and D'vine Swirls embossing folders from Cuttlebug for added dimension. The text for both party hats are computer-generated and I cut a frame for the second hat using Labels Four from Spellbinders. I colored the frames with Pebbles Chalk and edged them with Stickles. I used my Viva Decor Pearl Pen and crystals from Recollections to finish the look.
