Buddies w/Frog

Here’s my last creation for Lunar New Year. I decided to take Buddies w/Frog and just use the upper boy and have him leap frog over the Ox. This is one of my favorites. Happy Lunar New Year!

Miyako w/Origami Heart

Here’s another bookmark where I combined the a character with the ox in the background. I added glitter to this one for someone who loves glitter. Um, that wouldn’t be me by the way.

Miyoko w/Cupcake

For this project, I added another character to the mix, and instead of a card, I made a bookmark. I stamped the character a second time on some yellow decorative paper and then cut it out for the outfit. I didn’t realize it but I think it looks like gold which was a bonus.

Year of the Ox

The next few days are a series of cards and bookmarks that I created for Lunar New Year. This one is a small card with just the ox. They’re all about the same layout so they were easy to get done in one session.

Year of the Ox

I enjoy making Lunar New Year cards for my family and this year is the Year of the Ox. So I grabbed by favorite stamps for this occasion – Sister Stamps. Last year I found a sentiments set by Mama Elephant that I added to my collection. I decided I would color them all on the Neenah Desert Storm paper and add some cherry blossoms hanging down from the top. The color inspiration for the ox came from Ferdinand the bull.

Year of the Rat

Happy New Year! It’s the Year of the Rat and the beginning of the whole round of animals as the rat is the first of all the lunar animals. “According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first.” Read more HERE.

For my kids, I like to create a bookmark that they can use for the year and include it in the envelop with the money. It’s a little something extra I enjoy especially if I see them use the bookmark. 😉
