Lunar New Year Challenge + Giveaways | July 2024

The Lunar New Year Challenge is back and we've partnered up with your favourite craft companies all year long so 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 plus a mystery box of goodies from Hero Arts. That's a total of $100 in giveaways in July!

I'm always excited when a new month begins because it means I get to dream up something special for the challenge. My first card for this month features our July special sponsor Hero Arts who was kind enough to share a few products with the team.

My colour palette includes Peony, Papaya, Coral and Azalea cardstock from Hero Arts. To create the background, I cut three A2 panels from Papaya, Coral and Azalea cardstock, cut them at an angle and taped them together to form a full A2 panel.

I cut the Cherry Blossom Cover Plate from Peony cardstock, twice, and glued the layers together. After attaching the blossom panel to the card base, I die cut the small flowers from the Bonsai Fancy Die from Papaya, Coral, Azalea and Silver Glitter cardstock.

After laying the coloured flowers on silver glitter cardstock and attaching them to the cherry blossoms, I white heat embossed the sentiment from Crane Wishes and popped it on to the card with foam tape.

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. Multiple entries are allowed. Backlinking to an older project is strictly prohibited.

Our July Lunar New Year Challenge will run from 12:00am EST on July 1, 2024 through 12:00pm EST on July 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 August Challenge.
