The Chinese New Year celebration involves family gatherings, lots of eating and celebrations in the form of lion dances and fireworks, but also gifting red envelopes of money to share good fortune and prosperity.

It’s a festive and upbeat time, so the emphasis is on celebration, which is a good thing for everyone. Have a fun time, recognizing the culture and enjoy the festivities.

I decided to create some Chinese New Year themed patterned papers that would work great for memory keeping, but also for other paper crafting projects. Maybe you want some paper lanterns for decoration or making your own envelopes for gifting. My kids always enjoy cutting papers, collaging and making dragons or paper lanterns.

My love for digital papers is around accessibility and ease of storage especially. You can save all the papers you want for a future date on a hard drive and print as many copies as you need at the moment, without ever worrying about using up all your favorite designs. They will always be available and that is the power of printables!
