We love holidays and love gifts. And we all love postcards - receiving and giving. Postcards are given for many events - birthday or New Year, March 8 or the birth of a child.

You go into a store - there are a lot of postcards, even the text is already printed inside - everything has already been thought out for you and said, but not from the heart.

Gift with love

Only handmade postcards can convey your feelings towards the recipient. Buying a regular cardboard card is easy, but making one yourself means putting a part of yourself into it. After all, when making such a gift, you imagine the person for whom it will be intended.

Remember, we all tried as children, in kindergarten or school, to make holiday cards for our parents - carefully cutting them out, folding them, and gluing them. Then they handed it over. Remember how carefully mom and dad accepted the gift, kept it, and many still keep it with your children's drawings and crafts.

Today, handmade products are becoming more and more popular. Embroidered pillows decorate the home, knitted items are worn with pride. Only the very lazy don’t sew, knit or glue.

Scrapbooking is gaining more and more admirers - photo albums, paper cards, made with love, made in a single copy - become a unique gift for various holiday events.

For anyone who has mastered at least the basics of scrapbooking, there is no question of what to give to a loved one, and these gifts evoke admiration.

The art of giving joy

Creating postcards from paper is called cardmaking. It is based on the use of paper and various additional materials. An experienced scraper will use everything when making a postcard - ribbons, small paper flowers, fabric flowers, cutting - elements cut out of paper, buttons, lace and much more.

There are many techniques for making postcards from paper.

Experienced craftswomen make multi-layered three-dimensional products; the more layers, the more interesting the postcard looks.

The elements are connected to each other with glue and even stitched. The styles in which the craftsmen work also differ - shabby chic, steampunk and others.

It is impossible to create two completely identical postcards.

It is impossible to say that cardmaking is a simple art. After all, in the process of creating just one thing, a composition is created, changed, and formed. A scraper must be an artist - know the basics and subtleties of creating an ideal composition, selecting materials, and combining colors.

Sometimes this process of selection and application takes more than one hour, or even a day - the artist is a delicate nature, there is no inspiration, and nothing masterpiece will be created. And sometimes everything seems to come together on its own - and here is a do-it-yourself card for the birth of a child or for a birthday loved one ready.

Look at a variety of photos of postcards - how rich the imagination of the craftsmen is, creating harmonious compositions from many small scattered details.

We create the gift ourselves

Experienced scrappers use special scrap paper for their work - it is thick and has the property of not fading or fading over time. This ensures that your gift will retain its beauty for a long time.

Scrap paper comes with various designs and is sold in sets or individual sheets.

Note!

We will also need:

• Thick plain paper for the base - watercolor is suitable.
• A utility knife and a metal ruler (if you get into scrapbooking, you can later purchase a special cutter to cut the paper evenly - scissors are not the best option for this).
• Scissors for cutting out small parts.
• Glue - ordinary PVA, stationery - will not work, it warps the paper, and over time it will turn yellow. Take Titan, Moment and the like - scrap goods stores will advise you and others - see what is available to you.
• Double-sided tape - it can also be used to connect elements of a postcard, and with porous tape you can create multi-layer three-dimensional compositions.
• Decorative elements - flowers, cuttings, ribbons, pieces of lace, elements cut out of scrap paper - butterflies, birds, twigs and others.

Buttons, pendants, buckles and other small objects can be used to create the composition.

Stamps are often used - with their help you can create an interesting background for a future postcard, add certain elements, and make inscriptions.

An interesting technique when creating three-dimensional cards is embossing - a transparent stamp is applied to the base, which is sprinkled with special powder.

The last stage - the powder is dried using a special hairdryer - the result is a three-dimensional image: most often this technique is used when creating the contours of a picture and inscriptions.

Figured hole punchers - they can make an openwork edge, they can be used to make voluminous flowers and cuttings.

Note!

At all professional tools There are many for scrapbooking and cardmaking; it only makes sense to purchase some when making postcards for sale. But, having mastered the art, you will not only please your friends with original gifts, but also replenish the family budget.

Select several sheets of scrap paper that match the style and color, apply a background to the base, and decorative elements matched by color on it. The composition must form a cohesive whole so that each element has meaning.

You can use special sketch diagrams; they will tell you how to arrange the elements to create a harmonious composition. Having carefully prepared everything, making sure that every element is thought out, glue it.

If something seems to be missing, add a couple of sparkles along the edges of the flowers, rhinestones, half beads. The main thing is the unity and thoughtfulness of the composition so that the postcard does not look like an appliqué.

There are many tricks on how to make a beautiful card:

• quilling - curls are twisted from thin strips of paper, then they are given various shapes - these elements are glued to the base, creating a pattern, a design - three-dimensional cards are obtained;
• iris folding - small strips of paper, ribbon, fabric are folded in a spiral, overlapping each other - an unusual pattern is obtained;
• shaker card - a multi-layer card with a transparent window, inside which small elements move - foil rhinestones, beads;
• postcard-tunnel - a three-dimensional postcard with many layers, the cut out elements of each layer create an overall spatial pattern.

Note!

The inside of the card can also be decorated with stamps and paper. You can make the inside of the card unusual - when opened, the three-dimensional element expands - a heart or a bouquet of paper flowers will undoubtedly surprise the recipient.

You can't help but like such a paper postcard - it keeps warmth and a piece of your soul. If you want to master the art of cardmaking, attend master classes by experienced craftsmen who will tell you all the intricacies of how to make a beautiful card with your own hands.

Postcards created by children's hands bring great joy to their parents.

IN this section we have collected unique recommendations for making such cards, as well as great amount advice for beginning card makers, because this is what they call those who make cards with their own hands. You can make them together with your children, with absolutely no effort.

You can also make them from old unwanted postcards, colored paper, and even toilet paper. From absolutely everything that comes to hand. As a basis for making holiday cards, you can take our resource with the work of preschoolers, and also use all your imagination, and you and your baby will definitely succeed.

Instructions

When signing a postcard for your children’s teacher, start with the words: “Our dear...”, or simply “Dear...”.

You can add “Dear” and “Beloved,” but such addresses are more familiar in nature, and you risk putting yourself in a not very pleasant light. After addressing them by name and patronymic, write what you congratulate the teacher on. For example: “Dear Marina Ivanovna, happy birthday to you!”

Wish the teacher of your children many more years of fruitful work in the field of educational activities, creative success, and do not forget about personal wishes: health, happiness, family well-being.

Write a congratulation to the teacher in verse, you can involve the children in this. It will be very nice if you emphasize in your poems all the positive qualities of your children’s teacher. Just don’t cross the line of what is permitted: poems must be correct, without any hints or ridicule, which can greatly offend a person.

When congratulating, take into account the reason for which you are congratulating the teacher. If this is a professional holiday, you can choose poems about teachers, about their noble hard work; if the congratulation is related to March 8, choose poems about women.

Please also take into account the fact that you are congratulating the teacher not only on your own behalf, but also on behalf of the children. It is better to add a few half-joking children's wishes to the serious lines of congratulations.

Sign the card on behalf of the children and their parents. At the end of the congratulations you can write: “Your favorite children are the group “Solnyshko” and their parents.” Don't forget to indicate the date of congratulations. In this way, you will preserve your memory for many years.

Sometimes, in a handicraft impulse, you want to make something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer again, I decided to put together a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and small descriptions of how to make this or that postcard.

I tried to select as many different images as possible, both in style and theme, so that there was plenty to choose from. Of course, each postcard is just an example of how you can make postcards with your own hands.

To mom

• an unplanned card for no reason;
• Mother's Day or March 8;
• New Year and Christmas;
• birthday or name day;
• professional holidays.

Of course, no one can stop you from making and giving your mom a postcard dedicated to the first snow or even the release of your favorite TV series, but in general, the main reasons are indicated quite clearly.

A New Year's card for mom can be ordinary (from the point of view of New Year's greetings, of course), it is not necessary to somehow emphasize the special relationship. But a birthday or Mother's Day are special holidays on which it is worth presenting a personal card with the signature “To my beloved mother.”

How to make a birthday card for mom? Sketch out a sketch with a simple pencil, add a little color to get an idea of ​​the color scheme and understand what shades you will need during the work process. So, you need to buy or find in the bins:

• a blank for your needlework (thick and thin cardboard is suitable);
• background image - this can be scrap paper, colored paper, any sheet that you like with an ornament, or you can simply artistically spray paint on a sheet of white thick paper or even use the monotype and marbling technique;
• chipboard for inscription - it is better to purchase a ready-made one or use a special stapler to decorate the edge;
• a couple of decorative elements - flowers, butterflies, beads and leaves;
• one or two large decorative elements - flowers or bows;
• decorative tape;
• good glue;
• scalloped ribbon or lace.

Now you know how to make a card for Mother's Day, and you can easily figure out what a card for an anniversary or angel's day should be like.

To dad

Naturally, if the father is celebrating the anniversary of his driving experience, then a car on a postcard is quite appropriate, but on dad’s birthday it is better to present a neutral and beautiful greeting card.

• not too colorful;
• in a calm, slightly muted palette;
• with clean lines;
• in which a lot of effort has been visually invested.

Men admire the process, so before you make a nice card using the scrapbooking technique, think about how you can put your work into the card? This can be working with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.

Incorporate a few elements of hard work and love into your work and your dad's birthday card will be stunning.

So, we make paper cards with our own hands for our beloved daddy. Start by choosing a plot - it could be some element male portrait- a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.

Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.

After all the main elements have been cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - so that the work looked really delicate, you will need to choose shades that will highlight all the slits.

Make a central element on your card, and then put it under a press - this will help prevent the paper from deforming from the moisture contained in the glue.

In honor of the wedding

• come up with an idea;
• find out from the bride and groom the main color of the wedding, or the main theme of the celebration;
• look various options postcards - using scrapbooking techniques, with embroidery, ribbons, and so on;
• choose several interesting lessons;
• make a rough postcard from paper and cardboard (and if you are not sure of your result, then it is better to do this step several times);

• choose packaging and make it a little more unique;
• label the envelope and postcard.

Other occasions and recipients

You can make cards for mom and dad with your own hands, or you can delight your friends before each holiday with an original greeting - all you need is free time, good master classes and a little patience.

3D postcards look especially impressive. How to make a three-dimensional postcard? Come up with (or look at experienced authors) an idea on how you can shape it so that you get voluminous postcards. You may want to use more decorative elements, or you may decide to make a simple DIY birthday card with 3D elements.

By the way, if you are wondering how to make a postcard for your mother or friend with voluminous paper elements, take a closer look at children's books. Surely you still have several copies, when opened, carriages and castles, trees and horses appeared between the pages.

Take a close look at how these elements are made and glued together - you may be able to reproduce this in your sketch.

Or try to do something in the shabby chic style and scrapbooking with your own hands - it’s not as difficult as it seems, the entire main volume effect is created by layering elements. By the way, flat cards are also good. :)
