Lawn Fawn Sneak Peek #1: Lunar Lights!

Hello there!
Thank you for the super-nice comments about the Lawn Fawn announcement -- I'm genuinely moved! :o)
Today I'm sharing a project made with the new Lunar Lights stamp set that will be released on February 10th. This stamp set can be used for any occasion, but I chose to make a Chinese New Year project because -- this probably won't be surprising -- I'm Chinese. :o) And seriously, it ain't easy to find craft supplies that fit well with a Chinese New Year theme. Last year when I was making cards for this occasion, I could only find one sheet of China-themed stickers from K&Co. Ha! So this stamp set is pretty darn neat to have.

I bring you...
Chinese New Year Candy Treat Bag!

:o)
I used one of the larger lanterns and one of the sentiments from Lunar Lights, and I also used one of the flowers from Petite Florals to add a bit of detail to the lantern. I think I'll paper piece the larger lanterns in the near future because they're a great size for easy paper piecing! I die-cut the treat window with a Nestie Label Nine and punched the top flap with a Martha border punch.
This was quite fun to make, and I thought the general idea could also be used for upcoming Valentine's Day treats!

Hi Chan! I have genuinely enjoyed seeing your work pop up EVERYWHERE lately! One of my best friend's last name is Vuong too. It's quite rare, she's Chinese but born in Saigon, I guess Wong in a Vietnamese spelling, hee! Congrats on the LF dt. :)

Love your project Chan! So cute - as ever ;)
It reminds me of when we went to a Chinese friend's wedding recently. So beautiful in red and gold. I made all their stationery and I know what you mean about tricky to find Chinese-theme craft supplies! I had a rubber stamp custom-made to suit and I'm glad that the couple loved it all.
