Lunar New Year Challenge + Giveaways | May 2024


The Lunar New Year Challenge is back and since we've partnered up with your favourite craft companies all year long, that means there are giveaways every month! This month, we're giving away ONE $25 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp, ONE $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn, ONE $25 gift certificate to My Favorite Things, and ONE $25 gift certificate to Catherine Pooler. That's a total of $100 in giveaways in May!


I haven't had a lot of time to craft these last few weeks but, luckily, I still had the leftovers from the February Challenge sitting in a pile on my desk. I had assembled several of Catherine Pooler's Circle Landscape dies using all the pieces I had die cut back then so this was relatively easy to throw together at the last minute.


The colours featured here are Cupcake, Cherry Pop, Mulled Wine, Matte Metallic Gold and Glitter Gold cardstock. The card base was cut from Mulled Wine to coordinate with the top and bottom pieces in the circle.


The Cupcake panel was cut with Taylored Expressions' Rays Pierce & Cut Plate. Before attaching the circle to the front panel, I die cut the Lucky Word Die from Black Glitter Foam and cut off the y. After gauging the position of the die cut word, I stamped two words from Lantern Festival to complete the sentiment.


I glued the Rays Pierce & Cut panel to the card base, then I attached the assembled Circle Landscape close to the top of the panel. After glueing the die cut Lucky Word to the circle, I die cut small hearts from the Hearts-n-Tags Dies in CupcakeCherry PopMulled Wine. I stacked the hearts three high and glued them to the circle.


The rules are simple. You must create a new Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year or a 2024 Dragon Birthday card and add the link to your post in the link-up party. For the month of May, we are opening up the possibilities and invite you to make cards for Mother's Day, mother figures and other inspirational women in your life. If you're a Game of Thrones fan, think Mother of Dragons! Multiple entries are allowed. Backlinking to an older project is strictly prohibited.

Our May Lunar New Year Challenge will run from 12:00am EST on May 1, 2024 through 12:00pm EST on May 31, 2024. We would love to see you using products from our four generous sponsors! The four lucky winners will be randomly selected from all eligible entries and announced at the start of the June Challenge.
