Freebie: CNY Printable Cute '福' Cookie Jar Labels and Ang Bao Packets
Here's something nice for Chinese New Year!
I came up with this idea to design a cute and 'professional' looking label for the new year cookies after a lame attempt last mooncake festival to fool my sister that the mooncakes were store bought instead of home made. She remarked that one look at the label, and she knew I made them! I just printed out the names in black and white on a small piece of paper and stuck them on the box then.
So, here's my attempt for a more polish and professional packaging!
I'm really satisfied with them, so would like to share them with everybody! The labels comes in 3 sizes, Large (about 9cms in diameter), Medium (6cms) and Small (4cms). It's been sized to fit an A4 paper when printing!*

Labels
I'm so psyched with the labels, I decided to design matching Ang Baos (Red Packets) as well! I chanced upon this template a couple of days ago at yokebakery.com. An origami heart shaped red packet! How apt - As this year Chinese New Year falls on the 14th Febuary, on Valentine's Day! So, with the template, here's my design with 3 different backgrounds! Go for a more traditional but chic look with the flowery background! Or stand out with the bold and modern stripes! Are you a die hard romantic with a penchant for everything 'hearts' on Valentine's Day? - How about the hearts background? Leave a message or your name at the back of the Ang Bao to the one you're giving it to, making it more meaningful!
