Red Eggs and Ginger Party Card

Red Eggs and Ginger Party Card

In Chinese's culture, a red eggs and ginger party is where parents introduce their newborn to family and friends. And since it is my nephew's party, I decided to make a red eggs and ginger party card.

With only few materials, this card is very simple and easy to make. 

Here is what you'll need:

1. Scrapbook papers (Red eggs and ginger party theme paper-- red,  orange, yellow, brown, etc. pattern papers) 
2. Card stock 
3. Glue 
4. Paint or color markers 
5. Small brush for glue 
6. Small craft knife 
7. Double-sided tape

Let's start with your eggs' basket 

First, cut out the shape of a basket in half. Make sure the size is proportional with your card's size.

Next, cut out little oval pieces for your eggs. Use small brush to dip in the glue and apply individually to each 'egg' and stick it on as shown above. Continue until you reach the size you are happy with. 

P.S. lots of patient guys!

 Now, this step require some cutting skill. Draw out a basket's shape on your scrapbook paper. Color in the negative spaces (areas where you want to cut out). Make sure all lines are connected. 

After you are done, start cutting and glue the basket on your eggs!

Now you can cut out your base paper for the eggs basket to stick on. Make sure you leave some boarder between your base paper and your card stock. So make sure you measure your card stock before you actually cut your base paper! 

Use glue to stick your eggs basket on the base paper, and use double-sided tape to stick your base paper to the card stock-- this way your card won't get wrinkles :) 

You are basically done by now…but

If you think the card is too plain, get creative! You can add more to the card by cutting different shapes out of your scrapbook papers or decorate your card anyway you like -- add some glitter, draw some background, or whatever you like! 

I hope this help you bring out some of your creativity.

Enjoy xxx
