Today I am bringing you an Oriental Screen card for the Festive Friday Challenge #0076.
The festivity we are celebrating with this challenge is Chinese New Year. The Year of the Ox begins on February 12th, so now is the perfect time to get inspired.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project in our card making and paper crafting challenge. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about the theme at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!
My Oriental Screen Card Project
I decided I would create this Oriental Screen Card for this challenge. It was created using quite a few different stamp sets, dies and punches.
I created a tri-fold card from Basic Black cardstock and then using the Everyday Label punch I created the shaped bottom. The top of the card was shaped using the corner rounder on the Detailed Trio Punch.
For the Poppy Parade layers, I again rounded the top corners. I swiped the edges of the card with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold.
For the decorations I used:
- Leaves in black using “Very Versailles”
- Scroll pattern in Gold Embossing using “Textured essentials”
- Greeting in Gold Embossing using “Rooted in Nature”
- Banner in gold foil using Stitched triangles
- Small blossoms in gold foil using Cherry Blossoms Dies.
I love the oriental feel of this card. Although it isn’t a card for the Chinese New year, it does give a nod to the Far East.

Gorgeous card! It is so rich and vibrant. Love the images you chose to make this screen card.
This is a work of art. The way you created the “legs” of the screen is genius. I always marvel when I see crafters use tools with a vision of what they can become. In the case, a label turned into the base of a screen. Fantastic. So many wonderful elements all fitting together like a song. I just love your creation.
Wow, Helen! This is so creative and unique. I am never clever enough to think outside of the box when it comes to designs like this. You have used the perfect images, and those tiny gold blossoms are the icing on the cake!
