1 step. We make the base of the postcard: we divide cardboard (or thick paper) into 2 equal parts and 1 half. Please note: you can vary the dimensions of the workpiece according to your needs. We begin to fold the card along the marked lines. Then, on the inside top of the card, along the edges, glue colored blue paper in the form of a frame. In the middle, using a stencil, we will paint snowflakes. Step 2. Then, cut out a mitten from colored blue cardboard. Glue it to the middle of the inner second sheet of white cardboard. Decorate the top of the mitten with white padding polyester, onto which we glue stars. Glue large glass buttons in the middle of the mitten, and small glass stars around the mitten. Step 3. Take a small piece of blue embossed cardboard and glue it closer to the bottom edge onto half of the white inner 3 sheets of cardboard. The side edges remain unattached. On this small cardboard, using rice, we lay out and glue the words: “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” We leave the top in the form of a frame for New Year's greetings.

It’s nice to receive an interesting surprise for any occasion and for any holiday, especially if it’s the New Year. New Year's gifts are interesting precisely because they are given in a particularly festive atmosphere; we find them under the New Year's tree, which in itself is unusual. Any gift is valuable, especially if it is truly given with soul and love. It doesn’t matter what it will be, the most important thing is that there is such a surprise, so it is important to prepare it in advance so that it would be pleasant to give it to you and to receive it as a gift to the person for whom you are preparing it. The most memorable surprise is the one that is made with soul and love, namely with your own hands. Sincere wishes and warm words of congratulations can be left and written in a greeting card. New Year is a magical holiday, so the postcard should correspond to this holiday. Right now we’ll be making a bright New Year’s card using the technique. unusual shape. Why unusual? Because it will be made of two parts, one of which is folding in shape, and the second will be like a box cover.

Checkered sheet for pattern;
Leather-look cardboard sheets in landscape format in green and red;
Multiple sheets New Year's paper for scrapbooking;
New Year pictures;
Set of New Year acrylic stamps;
Ink, acrylic block;
Hydrangea flowers are green and red;
Red and green yarn;
Openwork hole punch;
Buttons different shapes;
Openwork red cutting in the form of an ornament;
Red satin ribbon with gold lurex, 5 mm wide;
Shiny stamens, sugared berries, green petal, small stamens, half beads;
Double-sided tape, PVA glue, ruler, utility knife, scissors, pencil;
Glue gun;
Sewing machine.

According to the diagram shown on the checkered sheet, we cut out the bases of both parts of the postcard from red and green cardboard. The diagram clearly shows the bending lines and cutting lines, which we draw with a stationery knife.


First, we prepare decorations for the box cover from scrap paper.


Cut out two 9*18 cm shapes from the same paper. Then from the other two we cut out a card and individual strips, which we make into shapes using a hole punch. We cut two 18 cm strips from the red ribbon and glue them to the green base.


We make New Year's stamping on watercolors.


We cut out the inscriptions and ink them around the edges. We sew the pictures and strips on a machine, then completely sew the scrap rectangle to the base.


We are preparing the decorations for the card itself, cutting out the following blanks from different sheets. We also make stripes, glue pictures, stripes and inscriptions.


We sew all glued cardboard elements separately. Don’t forget to cut out 4 more pieces of the following sizes: 3.8x3.8 cm, 2.8x3.8 cm and 1.8x3.8 cm.


Glue the scrap workpiece to the base. We sew everything on.

IN Lately more and more more people turn their attention to postcards self made. And this is not surprising: such a gift is available to many, and emotions from just one original do-it-yourself postcard so many.

Have you tried making cards with your own hands? If not, it doesn't matter. Today I will show you how to make such an unusual folding postcard. Believe me, it's easier than you think. We will definitely figure out how to make a blank for a folding card, because knowing the basics, you can then make cards with your own hands for any holiday.

So, let's go! We collect materials:

    • A4 cardstock (a sheet of paper for watercolors or thin colored cardboard);
    • scrap paper;
    • glue pencil and universal transparent;
    • pencil, ruler, creasing;
    • stationery knife;
    • a mock-up mat or just a wooden board;
    • silicone stamps;
    • ink pad;
    • double-sided bulk tape;
    • curly scissors;
    • small figured hole punch;
    • decorative elements: flowers, cut-out butterflies, ribbons, etc.

Here is the list that came out. In fact, needlewomen have much more in their stash, but this does not mean at all that in order to make this original postcard with your own hands, you need to urgently buy everything written. The main thing is scrap paper. And the rest will be found. In this work I used Boho Chic (First Edition) paper.

Master Class:

Stage 1. Blank for a clamshell postcard

First of all, let's figure out the complex design and make the necessary blank for a folding postcard.

We mark the cardstock sheet as shown in the following figure. Please note that you can vary the dimensions of the workpiece according to your needs. When assembled, this card turned out to be an almost standard size of 10x16 cm (usually 10x15 are available).

Using a utility knife, cut two horizontal strips, marked in red in the diagram.

Our template for a folding card is ready. Simple!

Stage 2. Selecting the background for the folding card

Now we need to choose paper for the background of the folding card. For these purposes I used 2 contrasting prints. I have indicated the dimensions of each background detail in the photo below.

Let's tint the red details around the edges. I also stamped each small square using an ink pad and silicone stamps.

Stage 3. We create decorative elements for our unusual postcard with our own hands

Let's start with the main inscription (this time again a birthday card). We cut out a rectangle with a length of about 10 cm from embossed paper, draw an oval on it and cut it out with curly scissors.

I got bored that everything was so simple, and I decided to decorate this blank with shaped holes. These little stars came up.

The next thing I did was to tone this part of the clamshell postcard using stamping ink.

Next, cut out a slightly smaller oval and make an inscription on it. Both a gel pen and acrylic paint. All that remains is to glue the red rectangle and these two parts together. The congratulatory inscription for our original DIY postcard is also ready.

Another decorative element in our work is a delicate frame with a rose. It's easy to do.

Using curly scissors, cut out a rectangle from the same paper as the previous decor. Dimensions (approximately) 7 cm long and 4.5 cm wide.

From beige paper (I use the reverse side of scrap paper) we cut out another rectangle of a slightly smaller size. I stamped it with a silicone stamp from the “Happy Birthday” set, I already mentioned this set. I also recommend tinting the edges.

Now we take a stationery knife and a board or mat and cut out an oval frame.

Oh yes! Under the frame we will place our favorite red print with flowers, for which we cut out a rectangle of the appropriate size.

It's time to decorate our folding card with a flower. It will be tender rose, which I borrowed from the same set of scrap paper. Glue a piece of double-sided tape to the back of the bud. This will give our work an interesting effect.

Having removed the protective layer, we attach the bud to the corner of the frame. See how playfully the rose now looks out of the window! And volume appeared.

Now let's glue the frame itself to the base. Again we will use foamed double-sided tape. And here is the result. Here I also glued a dragonfly cut out with a figured hole punch and a couple of beads. There is still room for a flower at the bottom, but we will attach it later.

So, the main decor for our folding card is ready.

Stage 4. Assembling a folding card with your own hands

We glue the stamped squares and a congratulatory inscription, as well as two coffee (by the way, what is the correct name for this color?) rectangles, as shown in the photo.

Before gluing the T-shaped blanks for the clamshell postcard, we will first decorate them. I took a matching satin ribbon and a creamy wave lace in a contrasting cream color. We wrap the edges on the back side of the postcard and securely fix it with universal glue.

Also, before gluing these parts, we need to think about how this will close. original postcard with your own hands. I used the same tape for these purposes. We measure out the length so that you can wrap the ribbon around the card and tie a bow.

We glue the tape itself to the front side (in the diagram this part is on the left). And on top of it we glue our T-shaped parts. I decided to embellish them a little more by gluing on a pseudo-chain of gold rings.

As promised, we glue a textile flower onto the frame. And since they don’t give 2 flowers on a birthday, we glued a third one - a paper one. scarlet rose. It fits perfectly on the bottom element of the folding card.

Well, I think it’s better for you to look at everything in more detail yourself (click to enlarge):








back side moons, i.e. folding cards

As a rule, no attention is paid to this point. But the back of a folding card is a great place to write your wishes. And you can put your logo here too. You never know what your imagination will tell you! Therefore, the back of the card should also look presentable.

Of course, ideally both sides should be made in the same style. But what to do if there is no more such paper? But look how we get out of this situation. If you look closely, you can see that this bizarre pattern, this layering, was the result of gluing together scraps of scrap paper. Scrap patchwork right! But in the end it turned out well, you’ll agree.

I left the space for wishes on the right; it will be covered when folded, so the birthday boy has an incentive to open this original card as soon as possible.

This is how the master class turned out. Now you know what it is folding card and how to make it yourself. I hope everything works out for you! Or maybe you have already made such cards before? In any case, I will be very glad if you share your thoughts, ideas or photographs of your work in the comments.

By the way, I think it’s time to start creating a gallery of yours, dear readers, works Leave photos of your creations in the main album in our VKontakte group. I have some ideas regarding this gallery :) But for now these are just thoughts (although they can materialize).

See you soon! Your brownie Elena

Good afternoon. Today we will make New Year's cards with our own hands. I will show you the most interesting ways and techniques. You will not only see photos, but also receive detailed instructions and schemes for creating each such postcard. I will give you the necessary master classes to illustrate complex techniques (quilling, origami) step by step.

I decided to divide the entire article into 5 parts - by topic. New Year cards.

  1. First we will look at a variety of Christmas trees on postcards.
  2. Then I will show you which Santa Clauses can decorate your card.
  3. Then we will make Snowmen using different techniques.
  4. Then we'll move on to Christmas wreaths.
  5. And of course, let’s look at appliqué snowflakes on postcards.

So let's get started...

Part one

TREE on New Year's cards.

Method number 1 - paper triangles.

If you still have old signed New Year's cards, you can no longer give them away for the second round. But you can use them to create NEW postcards. You can cut a triangle out of a New Year’s card, put it on a leg and you’ll get a Christmas tree. The New Year's motif on the card came out naturally - like the colors of a Christmas tree.

Or you can cut a Christmas tree out of a regular one cardboard box– rough corrugated packaging cardboard will harmonize with delicate lace or pearl beads. And you will receive an elegant New Year's card made by yourself.

You can cut out a triangular silhouette of a Christmas tree with wavy edges, and cover it with sequins that imitate Christmas decorations on the Christmas tree.

You can give the triangular silhouette of the Christmas tree a jagged edge (as in the photo of the cards below). You can also cut out several silhouettes at once and combine them on one New Year’s card.

On the blue New Year's card with the photo below we see how a three-dimensional bladed Christmas tree is glued together from three triangles.

Or one Christmas tree silhouette can be larger in size and with a different shade of color - we put it as a duplicate background under the top silhouette (as on the right New Year's card with the photo below).

Method No. 2 - paper ribbons on a New Year's card.

You can very quickly and easily form a herringbone applique from paper or textile tapes.

You can use regular strips of colored paper. Or buy embroidered braid in the sewing department of the store. Or buy an elegant sheet in the gift section of the store wrapping paper and cut patterned strips from it for a Christmas tree applique on a New Year's card.

In the photo below we see several options for creating such New Year's applique- Christmas trees.

Paper strips do not have to be glued in strict order and symmetry. You can cut strips of four lengths - 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm. And arrange them in a chaotic inclined order starting from the bottom 10 cm, in the middle we lay strips of 3 cm and 5 cm, and at the top 3 cm. Top it all off paper star and get a New Year's card with your own hands as in the left photo below.

You can also take a triangle cut out of thick cardboard and cover it with strips of paper or fabric, bending the edges of the strips to the underside of the cardboard triangle. And we will get a ready-made elegant Christmas tree that you can safely stick on your postcard (right photo below).

But with paper strips you can make not only planar applications. You can make Christmas trees using the three-dimensional technique. Here I give detailed description how to make a looped Christmas tree with your own hands on a red New Year’s card from the left photo below.

Step 1 - cut strips narrow and long - their lengths will also be different: 2 strips of 15 cm, 2 strips of 12 cm, 2 strips of 9 cm, and one strip of 7 cm.

Step 2 - V front side make slits on the card with a blade - 2 slots on both sides along an imaginary line(the width of each slot is such that our strip can easily fit into it).

Step 3 - push each one through strip at one end through 2 slits– turn it in a loop and return to the same slots again. The ends of the strip meeting at the side glue it into the same loop as on the opposite side.

We repeat a similar procedure with the remaining strips. Naturally, you need to arrange the strips from bottom to top in decreasing order (long at the bottom, short at the top).

Or you can cut 6 paper strips of equal length 12 cm. Bend each strip in half and intertwine the flaps of the halves with each other crosswise - in a checkerboard pattern. It just looks difficult. But it's actually simple. Here you can tear out a sheet of paper from your notebook and cut 6 strips of any length and practice on such rough material to see how simple and easy everything really is.

And here is another New Year's card, where the tree is also made from strips of paper. Only here crepe paper is used (with a crumpled, crinkled effect) - it is sold in stationery stores in rolls (like wallpaper).

Step 1 - We cut wide strips of different lengths - 12 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm.

Step 2 - On the postcard we outline lines-tiers (rounded), to these lines we will glue each tier of our paper Christmas tree. We attach a strip of double-sided tape to these drawn lines.

Step 3 - We take the longest strip (12 cm) and fold its entire upper edge into small folds - tucks - and place these tucks on the bottom line of the tape. Take the next largest strip (10 cm) and do the same. And so we move to the top tier of the tree. Then we decorate the Christmas tree on a New Year’s card with any design of our choice.

Method number 3 - paper circles.

Here's a way to make a Christmas tree on a New Year's card using circles cut out of paper. You can cut out circles of the same size (like the blue card in the photo below). Or you can cut the circles into 4 different sizes - 2 circles for each size. And then the Christmas tree will turn out to be triangular in shape (tapering towards the top) as on the red New Year’s card with the photo below.

Method No. 4 – quilling technique for New Year cards.

Here’s another technique that produces very beautiful hand-made New Year’s cards. You can make beautiful twists from paper strips.

This is what the process of creating a Christmas tree using the quilling technique looks like. Cut the paper into even strips(it’s convenient to do this under a ruler with a paper cutting knife - on a wooden board so as not to cut the table. Or you can buy ready-made strips for quilling. Or have a machine for cutting quilling strips.

We lay each twist in the template circle(so that the twists are the same size). We allow the tight twist to open up a little and unwind - but within the framework of a round stencil. And then glue the tail-tip of the twist to the barrel of the twist itself. That is, we fix its size. This way you can remove it from the stencil frame and not be afraid that it will unwind and increase its size.

If you don't have a stencil, you can use round ones caps for creams or drinks. Place the twist on the bottom of the glass or cap and let it unwind to the diameter of the cap. Then carefully remove it with tweezers and fix the twist tail with glue.

Pinch the round twists on one side with your finger to give it a drop shape.

We put drops of different sizes in pairs and get a quick and simple Christmas tree.

Quilling technology allows you to create a variety of Christmas tree models from twisted paper.

Method number 5 - paper rolls.

Can you cut the paper into wide strips? different lengths– and roll each strip into a roll. It's easy to do if wrap it around a pencil– glue it, wait for the glue to set, and only then remove it from the pencil. These rolls of different lengths make a beautiful Christmas tree on a postcard. Quick and easy to do with your own hands. Paper can be used simple color. Or buy sheets gift wrapping paper(sold in the gift department).

Method No. 6 – mosaic Christmas tree on a postcard.

Can be used as a material for creation Christmas tree use any small parts. Sliced ​​snowflakes or butterflies. Buttons or origami stars or nuts and bolts (if you are preparing a card for your husband and want to make it in a brutal style).

Method No. 7 – lace Christmas tree on a New Year’s card.

You can make beautiful lace on a New Year's card. you can use ready-made lace paper napkins (sold at the hardware store, where the muffin tins are). Such napkins are often placed under cakes and other culinary products).

Or you can make your own paper lace– folding the paper as for cutting out a snowflake. And let it go along the folded edge interesting pattern with holes.

Or can you fold the cut-out snowflake into a Christmas tree shape and paste it on a New Year's card.

Method No. 8 – origami technique.

And here are New Year's cards, which are decorated with a Christmas tree folded from a napkin. Such folding origami in the form of a Christmas tree are made quite quickly and from simple square(no need to cut anything). The main thing is that each upper square is slightly smaller in size than the lower one. And then the tiers of our Christmas tree will be tapered to the top.

Below I have drawn a diagram that illustrates the process of creating paper blanks for a Christmas tree on a postcard.

But you yourself can come up with YOUR OWN interpretations of a modular Christmas tree made of paper. Come up with your own triangular folds and create your own individual New Year's card with a Christmas tree.

Method No. 9 – folding Christmas tree on a postcard.

And here is another folding Christmas tree. Everything here is quite simple and is made from a separate single sheet of cardboard. And if you wish, you can additionally decorate the Christmas tree with inserts of colored paper and decorations.

You can also quickly fold an origami Christmas tree out of paper using this semicircular pattern. You can copy the shape of the Christmas tree and fold lines directly from the monitor screen. To enlarge or reduce the image on the screen, you need to roll the mouse wheel forward or backward while holding down the Ctrl button.

Or you can make such a Christmas tree yourself without a drawing. And simply bending the semicircle back and forth several times, as shown in the figure below.

If such a semicircular pattern for a folding Christmas tree is made not with a smooth edge, but the circumference of the pattern is notched into soft ruffles or teeth, then the edges of our tiers near the Christmas tree will turn out curly, as in the photo of New Year’s cards below.

Method No. 10 – paper carving.

The lapel carving technique is also suitable for Christmas cards. This technique is very simple to do. Part of the picture is cut with a razor blade and folded back. We see the most primitive example in the right photo below - half of the contours of the Christmas tree and snowflake are cut off and simply bent.

You can make a double contour - and then the bend will turn out to be a narrow silhouette strip, as was done on the left postcard in the photo below.

Or you can cut it and bend it downwards each tier silhouette of a Christmas tree on a postcard. And we will receive a Christmas card with the photo below.

You can first practice on any rough piece of paper to see how easy it is to actually implement this card carving technique and make your own unique New Year’s craft.

We've looked at New Year's cards with a Christmas tree theme, and now let's look at all the other New Year's themes that you can use to decorate our cards with your own hands.

Part two

SANTA CLAUS on postcards.

Large applications in the form of Santa Claus will decorate any Christmas card. There is no need to make a full-length silhouette of Santa Claus somewhere in the corner of the postcard in the form of a small booger. It's better to take the most large size caps, beards and all parts of the postcard are filled with these main elements of Santa Claus - red nose, mustache, beard, hat.

You can fold Santa Claus for a postcard using the origami technique - as shown in the photo below.

Part three

SNOWMAN on New Year's cards.

And now you can move on to a new character of the Christmas holidays - the snowman. Usually we are used to seeing it on crafts in the form of three white rounds and a bucket on the head. But you can approach the task of depicting a snowman on a postcard creatively. For example, make it peek out from behind the New Year tree - like in the left photo below.

Or take a ready-made card with a snowman - cut it into strips of different lengths - and from these strips put together a Christmas tree pyramid. Fold in such a way that the cunning face of a snowman can be seen on some of the stripes (as on the left New Year’s card in the photo below).

Also, you don't have to make a snowman appliqué on a card made from classic white paper. You can take the musical staff of a New Year's song on the Internet, print it, and cut out round discs from such paper for a snowman appliqué.

Or take a printed text telling about New Year's traditions and from such text embed roundels for a snowman.

You can make a snowman on a card using a paper fan. When the fan is bent in half, its blades unfold in a circle.

You can make a snowman on a postcard using the quilling technique. Twist a strip of white paper into roll-up modules and make a quilling snowman.

You can depict a snowman in an interesting, unusual angle or setting. This could be a TOP VIEW of a snowman (like the left photo below)... or a snowman inside a snow globe (like the right photo).

You can make an applique of a snowman who makes a hole in a snowflake with his nose. Or a snowman lord in a top hat and a red bow around his neck.

It is not necessary to put a bucket on the snowman. The snowman looks good in a neat black hat with a brim, decorated with a sprig of holly.

A snowman on a postcard can be depicted very schematically. A semicircle, a stripe of a scarf, two beady eyes and an orange triangle of a nose.

You can make a simplified silhouette of a snowman as the side part of a two-layer postcard, as in the photo below.

Or you can use the entire white background of the postcard as the body of a snowman. The New Year cards with the photo below show exactly this principle.

The most difficult thing is to make a three-dimensional 3D card with the silhouette of a snowman.

Part four

DEER on Christmas cards.

Another new year character The one that looks festive on New Year's cards is a deer.

It can also be depicted in a non-standard way, but in an interesting situation. For example, it could be a deer enthusiastically singing Christmas songs, playing the drum, or skating - everything is up to your imagination.

You can choose the simplest silhouette applique of ONLY DEER HEADS on postcards.

Or you can decorate a New Year's card with the silhouette of a whole deer - from antlers to hooves.

Part four

SNOWFLAKES on New Year's cards.

You can cut out 2 ordinary stars from paper and stack them on top of each other with an offset into one ray - and we will get an elegant snowflake on a Christmas card with our own hands.

Can be done beautiful snowflake in volumetric convex technique.

Or embroider a snowflake from threads. That is, apply a symmetrical pattern of punctures. And then, in a certain order, lace these puncture holes with threads to make an openwork snowflake.

You don't have to come up with very complex thread weaves. Even small patterns made from thread and needles will decorate your New Year's cards.

Using this thread technique you can make not only snowflakes, but also any other New Year's motifs.

And of course a snowflake using the quilling technique.

Here in the photo below we see the stages of creating a complex snowflake from ordinary quilling modules - you need to start each snowflake from the center - and grow petals towards the middle - circle by circle.

Your Christmas card with snowflakes can resemble a layer cake, in which a variety of details are mixed, layering and bumping into each other in an elegant chaos of beauty.

The snowflake on your card can be made from paper modules made using the origami technique.

Part five

Wreaths on New Year's cards.

And here is the theme of the festive Christmas wreaths. They can be depicted on a postcard using any technique. This can be a flat applique of any geometric shapes, decorated with ribbons, buttons and other tinsel.

You can make a New Year's card in the form of a door with such a Christmas wreath hanging on it.

Quilling technique is also ideal for creating modules for a Christmas wreath.

New Year's cards can be decorated with birds. They can sing winter songs while sitting on musical birch branches.

Also, New Year's cards can depict a winter window, through which you can see either a snowy landscape or a festive room with a Christmas tree.

Here are some more ideas how to give money in a New Year's card . We are used to putting money inside a postcard. But you can put the money outside, making it part of the overall New Year's applique. I will now explain how to place money on the front side of the card and not ruin it with glue.

Here on the first postcard we see a bill that has been folded into a triangular cone - a ribbon was glued to the postcard (not money, we do not spoil it with glue) and the ribbon was glued so that it was glued to the glue in the middle, and its tails hung freely. We place the cone of the Christmas tree-money on the ribbon and tie it with the free ends of the ribbon.

In the second case We glue the snowman - but we don’t just glue it - we glue it onto thick pieces of styrofoam. That is, the snowman turns out to be towering on the postcard. This way, the snowman’s neck turns out to be moved away from the postcard canvas - and you can safely slip a striped bill under his neck.

And in the third case - We roll up candle tubes from paper. Glue them edgewise to the card. And into each tube we put a banknote rolled into a narrow roll.

Like these ones original ideas for New Year's cards I found for you during these holidays.

Good luck to you New Year's crafts and Happy New Year.

The postcard will consist of two parts: the base is already ready, only we will decorate it later and the inner part. This is the inner part that we will now manufacture.



Using the dimensions of the diagram, we cut out the inside of the card from pastel paper.



We cut out the following blanks from New Year's scrap paper.



We punch holes in the remaining paper and glue it with a glue stick. We cut out two inscriptions with congratulations and glue them onto large blanks. Now we glue all the parts with a glue stick onto the pastel base.



We sew on all the elements. Now we prepare for the top red base.





From two parts we assemble two blanks 15*15 cm. We glue onto one circle, pictures and a card, an inscription. We sew everything on with a machine.



We cut two strips of 15 cm from the tape and glue them in the center at the top and bottom of the workpiece.
