Let's try to make a postcard using scrapbooking technique. Despite the obviously foreign origin of the tricky term, there is nothing complicated here. This is just a sheet of paper decorated with decorative elements, various small details and all kinds of cutouts. To make such a card, you need to have imagination and suitable materials and tools. That's all, and the rest is a matter of technology, which we will study now.

Before mastering the cardmaking technique, let’s stock up necessary materials, which are sold in craft stores.

Holographic foil.
Watercolor paper.
Self-adhesive paper.

So let's get started creative process and start creating a postcard.

Our postcard, like any other, made using the scrapbooking technique, will consist of five main elements: a photo, a background for the photo, decorative elements, journaling (another tricky word) and a title. Let's look at what each element is made up of:

photo - regular photography or a drawing that you will consider the main one for the postcard.
The backing is thick paper under the photo, the edges of which will protrude beyond the photo by two centimeters.
Decorative elements - rhinestones, beads, artificial flowers, in general, all postcard decorations.
Journaling is a small card under the photo on which information about the photo, explanations, and notes will be written.

Before we begin directly making the postcard, we need to draw a scrap composition. Otherwise, it is called layout and is needed in order to beautifully arrange the elements of the composition.

As you can see, if you have patience, add perseverance and a little imagination, you can create a masterpiece postcard. And no one will have such a postcard, believe me.

Based on this postcard, you can make similar ones. Here are a few ideas, perhaps some of them you will take into account:

The scrapbooking technique allows you to make a beautiful postcard with your own hands, make a photo album and hang it on the wall like a panel. Thanks to many step by step photos presented in master classes, even children can master this art.

How to decorate a photo frame with flowers

That's how beautiful it will turn out to be as a result.

As you can see, the photo frame is decorated with flowers. See how to make such a decoration element. To make it you will need the following items:

special paper for scrapbooking or other thick paper;
scissors;
template for flowers or figured hole punch;
glue;
distress ink.

Scrapbooking often requires a figured hole punch, which you can buy at a craft store.

If you don’t have a shaped hole punch, then cut out a flower template from cardboard or use special knives to cut out such elements.

The following photo shows what flowers need to be made with six petals. Here they are made using a figured hole punch.

For one such flower you will need to make 3 identical blanks, but then they need to be decorated differently. Make a cut between the petals on the first piece. Cut off 2 petals from the second piece, and one petal from the third. Don't throw away these small elements, we will need them later.

Cover the edges of the petals with distress ink. To ensure that the finished flower has the correct shape and is not too bulky, fold it as shown in the photo and trim the tip.

Now apply a little glue to the petal to the left of the cut, and place the right one on it. Decorate all three flowers in this way.

This is what you should get.

Now we need to give the flowers a more realistic look. To do this, you need to twist the edges of the petals using a wooden stick or, for example, a pencil.

This is what the postcard elements should look like, made using the scrapbooking technique.

Now place the middle element on the large flower blank, and the smaller one on top of it. We fasten all layers with glue.

It's time to make the core of the flower. To do this, take the two petals that you cut at the beginning of the work. Unscrew their ends back using a wooden stick, and then shape them into a ball, the corner of which is cut off.

Do not tighten this figure too much, since a single-petal element designed in the same way will need to be glued to its center.

As a result, you will get this lovely flower, which scrapbooking helped to create. With your own hands or with the help of junior assistants, you will need to make several more flowers of various sizes. Like the first one, you will also glue them to a photo frame, and you will get a beautiful, touching design item.

How to make a photo album with your own hands

The scrapbooking technique will also help you make it.

This folding photo album takes up little space. It can be thematic, dedicated to an interesting trip. If you wish, paste photographs of dear people and friends here.

When you need to look at the photos, you simply open the folded album and plunge into pleasant memories.

To indulge in them, start making your own photo album right now. This craft will require the following materials:

scrap paper;
glue;
scissors;
blue ink;
Teflon sheet.

Cut 2 strips of scrap paper measuring 10 x 30.5 cm. Fold each one in four like an accordion. Glue these two strips together to create a longer photo album.

Now we need to work with the background. To do this, spray ink onto a Teflon sheet. For those who do not know what this is, an explanation is given.

Teflon sheet is glass fiber coated with Teflon. This layer prevents sticking, so after finishing the needlework it is simply wiped off and the sheet becomes clean again.

Sprinkle the ink with a small amount of water. To create a background, move the photo album over the Teflon sheet to create streaks. After they have dried, you can paste photographs into the album and decorate it with various tags, letters, and labels.

Making a design notebook - master class

You can turn a notebook or a thick notebook on a spring into a designer item, which can also be created using the scrapbooking technique.

First you need to carefully remove the thick bottom and top cover. There is no need to unbend the spring; just twist it and remove these parts.

Cut 2 rectangles from thick paper to the size of the cover. Label which one belongs to which cover.

Apply glue to the old covers and spread it evenly over the surface using a hard brush.

Place the cut sheet on the table, and place the workpiece coated with glue on it. Press down and trim the edges at a 45 degree angle, 1.5 mm apart.

Apply glue to the margins of the paper, fold them onto the cardboard cover, and iron them with your finger to achieve the tightest fit.

Using a sharp knife, cut holes for the spring, glue this part of the paper, and insert new covers into the notebook.

Glue patterned paper onto the back of the covers. You can decorate the initial page of the album with thread, letters, and ribbons.

DIY scrapbooking paper

As mentioned above, you can buy it at a craft store or use thick paper. You can also make your own for decorating sheets.

For this interesting craft you will need:

table napkins of various colors;
decorative paper;
2 rectangles of mosquito net;
PVA glue;
blender;
deep tray;
towels;
sponge;
large board;
pot.

Finely tear the paper and napkins, pour in water, mix with a blender until smooth. Add PVA glue and mix again.

Place a mosquito net on the tray and pour the mixture on top.

To make it easier to remove excess water later, use a slotted spoon for laying out. But, in addition to the paper pulp, there should also be water on the tray.

Place pieces of paper, flowers, dry leaves, and finely chopped threads on this mass. Cover the top with a second mosquito net.

Now, using a sponge, move from the center to the edges to collect excess water from the surface of the mesh. Try to drain the mixture as best as possible.

After this, place a towel and a large board on the mosquito net. Carefully turn the tray over so that the still wet paper is on the towel. Remove the first mosquito net, cover the mass with the second half of terry cloth.

Iron it to dry the paper, turn the workpiece over, placing it on this half of the towel, carefully remove the mosquito net. Iron scrapbooking paper through this fabric to dry.

Finally, you must put a press on the paper and let it dry for 1-4 days. During this process, check your creation occasionally to make sure it doesn't dry out or become brittle.

Now you can use this paper to decorate albums.

Panel for photo

It is also quite easy to make using the scrapbooking technique. There is room here for several photographs and decorative elements. Here's what you'll need for this scrapbooking:

shoe box;
colored paper;
scissors;
glue;
double sided tape;
braid and other elements for decorating a photo frame.

Take the lid from the box and glue it inside colored paper or sheet with prints. Cover the sides with brown paper and decorate the partitions in the same way. Using PVA, attach them in place.

Cut out the petals from colored paper, twist them, and fix this flower with glue. Decorate the panels with decorative butterflies, lace and other elements.

Use the ribbon to make a loop to hang the photo frame on the wall.

DIY postcards

The scrapbooking technique will help you make them too. The birthday person will definitely like this birthday card. If you want to give it during another joyful event, then you just need to make a different inscription.

Here's what you'll need to make it happen:

a sheet of white cardboard intended for watercolors;
on a sheet of colored and black cardboard used for pastels;
white ribbon 30 cm long;
lace braid 12-15 cm;
glue;
scissors;
ruler;
3 buttons;
3 flowers;
capillary or black gel pen.

To make the base of the card, cut out a 16 x 20 cm rectangle from white cardboard and fold it in half.

Now cut out two large and two small rectangles from black and colored cardboard, the dimensions of which are indicated in the photo.

Glue the inscription and the small rectangle onto the large one.

Let's start decorating the card. Glue the lace, and on top of it - a ribbon, tie it in a bow. Attach three flowers to a small rectangle and buttons in their center.

You can continue to make a postcard with your own hands by applying a design and a border of dots to it. All that remains is to write warm wishes and present a card to the birthday person.

Preparing materials and tools for creativity

In order to make a simple scrapbooking postcard, which can be used to write congratulatory poems or as a beautiful envelope for money, you will need the following materials and tools:

a sheet of designer cardboard or lilac pastel paper;
a sheet of purple cardboard with a pronounced texture;
a sheet of white cardboard or paper;
paper or silk flowers and leaves in suitable colors;
halves of ivory pearls;
double sided tape;
foam tape;
transparent glue;
figured border hole punch;
acrylic stamp with a congratulatory inscription;
purple stamp ink;
scissors;
a simple pencil;
ruler.

Step-by-step technique for creating an envelope postcard

Having prepared everything you need and armed with inspiration, you can start making your own postcard using the scrapbooking technique.

Take a sheet of A4 lilac cardboard and process one edge with a figured hole punch.

From the second edge, measure a strip 3 cm wide and bend it towards the middle - this will be the future pocket for a congratulatory insert or money. Then bend the workpiece in half. To make the bend more accurate, draw a thin blunt object (for example, empty ballpoint pen paste) along the center line of the workpiece under the ruler, creating a barely noticeable groove.

Cut out two strips of purple cardboard, 1.5 cm and 7 cm wide. The length of both strips should be equal to the height of the postcard. Use a border hole punch to cut one edge of the wider cardboard strip.

Apply strips of double-sided tape to the back of the purple parts.

After removing the protective paper from the adhesive tape, attach the piece with a figured edge to the insert pocket, and glue a thin purple strip to the title page of the postcard, 2 cm from the fold.

Place a small composition using paper flowers and leaves in the lower left corner of the card. Don’t rush to glue the flowers right away. First, experiment with their placement and only when you like the result completely, glue each part with transparent glue.

Cut out a rectangle measuring 8x7 cm from purple cardboard, and 6.5x5.5 cm from lilac cardboard. Apply to the stamp stamp ink and make an imprint on the lilac blank.

To give the future card a little volume, attach several pieces of foam tape to the back of the rectangular blanks.

Add accents to the card in several places using pearl half beads, but do not overdo it.

First glue a purple rectangle onto the title page of the postcard, and a lilac one on top of it.

Cut out a suitable size insert from white cardboard or paper and insert it into the pocket inside the card. It can also be decorated if desired.

If necessary, you can put bills in the same pocket. A postcard combining an envelope for money using the scrapbooking technique is ready!

In Russia, demobilization albums are widely popular, containing not only photographs, but also drawings, collages, interesting caricatures, wishes, and addresses of colleagues. The production of such original albums is carried out by soldiers who are novice craftsmen, and everything necessary can be collected during the service.
