• 新年快樂 or “Sing Ni Kaui lak” is 'Happy New Year' in TeoChew

*Note that since these envelopes are cut, glued together, and foiled with Faith’s hands. There are some discrepancies in the gold foil where the black underside is shown due to issues with gold foiling at home. Please be kind and carefully view the photos where these discrepancies are revealed. The foiling discrepancies does not affect the function of the envelope in any way. Each envelope was made as a labor of love! But due to this defect, black and red envelopes are also for sale
