Lunar New Year printables: red envelope, door couplets and paper lantern in three styles

Lunar New Year's paper: a red-envelope template with a gold zodiac animal, a pair of couplet strips for the doorframe, a paper lantern to fold, a greeting card with a blank panel. Symmetric, gold on vermilion — drawn in a papercut motif, a gilt line style, or clean modern. Ask for the year's specific animal, or a pink-and-gold palette, and it redraws.

Frequently asked questions

Do I fold the lantern myself?

Yes — the lantern prints flat with fold lines marked; folding and gluing it into shape is the DIY step.

Is the zodiac animal specific to the year?

Ask for a specific animal — like 'with a rabbit instead' — in the direction field and the hero motif changes to match.

Are the couplets real, readable text?

The couplet strips are drawn as a decorative border design; any characters shown are for visual effect, not composed text, so verify wording separately before using them formally.

Is there a version for a school craft project?

Yes — type 'for a school craft' in the direction field and a simpler, easier-to-cut version is drawn.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
