Pleasant and very a heartfelt gift For a themed celebration, cards made from bright, unusual colored paper, which were created manually, can be used.
This option is the most in a simple way to please a person, to express one’s most warm feelings. Often a card complements the main gift.
You can learn how to make a postcard with your own hands from paper on the Internet, because there are a huge number of master classes and templates for various postcards that describe the process of creating such crafts. The cards turn out bright and beautiful, unique and inimitable.
Paper Product Base
In numerous photos homemade cards from the paper it is clear that the main thing in the product is not only congratulatory speech and decoration, but also the basis. Either thick scrap paper or a thin sheet of cardboard is suitable for it.
As for color preference, you should choose a neutral light color color palette so that against its background all other elements are bright and stand out.
A cardboard sheet with embossing and textured patterns looks very original as a base.
To do beautiful postcard more solemn and unusual, it is worth rounding the rectangular ends, or using curly scissors to give the edges a carved outline.
Card with colorful balls
To create a cute and romantic card that can be presented for a celebration on any occasion, you should take thin beige cardboard and fold it in half, rounding the corners. To decorate the outside of the product you need to prepare multi-colored paper balls different shapes: oval and round.
If the card is intended to be given to a girl, then the color of the balloons can be chosen predominantly pink, if for a boy it is blue, neutral shades are suitable for congratulating an adult.
You will need about 15 blanks for future balls. They will be placed both on the front side and inside the product.
Since the shape and size of the elements are different, it is better to prepare cardboard templates in advance and cut them out. After the templates are prepared, you can select the appropriate scrap sheets and cut out the balls.
When the ball blanks are cut out, a piece of paper is glued to each of them. reverse side a piece of thick thread. Now you can start decorating the front side of the card. To do this, start gluing balls on top, then subsequent lower layers until the desired result is achieved.
To create voluminous non-standard paper postcards, you can glue the elements onto double-sided tape.
We attach a small piece of tape to the back of the ball, and then to the front base. The result will be a magnificent ornament.
When the balls are glued, you should tie all the threads, tie beautiful ribbon and secure at the bottom of the balls. Then the edges need to be trimmed.
Several elements are also glued inside the product, leaving space for writing congratulatory words.
Homemade New Year cards
To congratulate you on New Year holidays, as a rule, they choose more thematic decorations in the form of Christmas trees, garlands, snowflakes and other paraphernalia. An excellent gift would be a hand-made postcard with a voluminous pine beauty using origami technique.
Note!
To make origami blanks, it is better to choose thin paper sheets so that they can be easily crumpled. You should also give preference to materials with an interesting pattern, then the Christmas tree will turn out colorful.
To create a Christmas tree you need to prepare 5 square blanks from the selected paper. The dimensions of the sides of the squares are as follows: 10; 9; 7.5; 6.5; and 5.5 centimeters, respectively. All squares are added according to the same principle.
First, the square is folded diagonally, then it returns to its original shape and folds diagonally on the other side. The result will be a workpiece with two diagonal fold lines.
Now the first origami blank is ready. There should be 5 of them in total. The Christmas tree is assembled from the top smallest element.
Note!
Quilling cards
A greeting card made using the quilling technique will be simple to make, but very attractive and original.
To create an owl that will be placed on the front side of the product, you need to twist several tight spirals from paper of the color you like.
For the owl's body, a spiral is selected, which will consist of three different shades in the form of orange, brown and beige shades. The width of the paper strip to create the body is 5 mm. Each subsequent strip should be glued to the previous one, and the tip should be glued to the spiral itself.
For the eyes and wings of an owl you need to take thinner ones paper strips. Each bird wing consists of three twisted spirals that are glued together. The paws are also represented by three spirals.
When all the elements are twisted, they can be glued to the base, decorating the composition with leaves and tree branches, which are also cut out of paper.
A card with flowers made using the quilling technique looks very beautiful.

Thick paper
Stationery knife
Colored paper
Scissors
Ruler
1. First we make two blanks for our postcard. The dimensions of one are 15 cm by 12 cm, and the second is 15 cm by 15 cm. It is on the second base that you will attach the parts. Bend 3 centimeters from the bottom edge of the base (see picture).
2. Step back 3 cm from the left edge and the same amount from the right and draw strips, the width of which is 1 cm and the length of 3 cm. Cut the lines with a stationery knife. It is necessary to make three such strips, since we have three parts.
3. You need to bend the strips forward, and you will get a kind of stand for the postcard parts.

What materials will be needed for the work?
Card base (I used a rectangle of white cardboard measuring 16x13 cm)
-Dense White paper on which the pattern will be cut out (to the size of the base for the postcard folded in half)
-Pattern printed on a printer, which we will transfer to paper
-Various decorations: ribbons, beads, laces and so on (in addition, I used feathers, since I chose the silhouette of a bird as a pattern)
-Stationery knife
-Paints
-Jar for water
-Brush
-Paints (gouache is better, since when painting with gouache, less water is used than, for example, with watercolors, therefore the paper will not suffer from excess moisture)
-Palette
-Pencil
-Scissors
-Glue
So let's get to work.
First, let's prepare the base for the postcard. Let's take cardboard, put an unnecessary sheet or oilcloth under it so as not to stain the work surface, and after mixing the desired color in the palette, we will make a color stretch.
I used Blue colour and gradually added more and more white gouache to it, the result was a smooth color transition, which will serve very well as a background for a postcard.
If you wish, you can decorate several pieces of cardboard in a similar way to choose the best one for your idea, and use the rest with a different design or for another idea.
In any case, they will not go to waste.
The next step is to transfer the design from the printout to thick paper. To simplify this process, you can attach a printout and a white sheet to a window or other transparent, flat surface and transfer the drawing. You can draw your own pattern based on ready-made template. Here everyone chooses their own. When the drawing is transferred to paper, we begin to cut it out using a stationery knife. Be sure to place an unnecessary notebook, a stack of paper or oilcloth under the drawing - the working surface will remain undamaged and cutting will be much more convenient.

In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editors website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make something for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.
Below we have collected ideas that are beautiful, original and, most importantly, “fast” New Year's cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around the house.
Volumetric Christmas trees
Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.
Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows you how to cut them.
Penguin
We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardstock (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes, which we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).
Gifts
This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces wrapping paper, which you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we recommend taking a look at this blog.
Santa Claus
A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper pasted onto a card or gift bag. The fur of the hat and beard are made like this: you need to take drawing paper and just tear off the strips the desired shape to create jagged edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.
Simple drawings
An irresistible idea in its elegance - to draw with a black gel pen Christmas balls with patterns. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else won't be difficult - stripes and squiggles that you draw when you're bored.
The same principle that underlies the card with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very cute.
Many, many different Christmas trees
This is where patterned paper or cardboard left over from children's crafts or wrapping paper for gifts will come in handy. The Christmas trees are sewn in the center - this is not at all necessary, you can glue them on. But if you really want to, you first need to make holes with a thick needle along a ruler, and then sew with thread in 2 rows - up and down, so that there are no gaps left. Draw a snowball with white gouache.
Laconic and stylish idea- a grove of Christmas trees, one of which is glued to foam double-sided tape (and therefore rises above the rest) and decorated with a star.
This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do this well) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.
A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored ribbons, paper and even fabric.
Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school years. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.
Winter landscape
For this postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Using sharp scissors, cut out the snowy landscape and moon and paste it onto a black or dark blue background.
Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.
Hugging snowman
Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.
For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with your finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second You will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.
You will want to keep this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.
Balloons
Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbon. But the balls are so a win-win, what can you allow yourself to fantasize about: make balls from paper with a pattern, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And you can simply draw the strings.
Another option is to stick paper with a pattern on the inside of the card, and cut out circles on the outside with a sharp stationery knife.
Volumetric balls
For each of these balls you will need 3-4 identical circles of different colors. Fold each one in half and glue the halves to each other, and the two outer halves to the paper. Another option is colored stars or Christmas trees.
Multi-colored balls
Wonderful translucent balls are obtained using a regular eraser on a pencil. It’s worth starting with a pencil to outline the outline of the ball. Then dip the eraser into the paint and leave marks on the paper. Fun and beautiful.
Cards with buttons
Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also evoke subtle associations with childhood.
The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but the rest is up to you - to “hang” them on the Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls, or on newspaper clouds.
On the eve of the celebration of someone dear to your heart, you want to give a gift that would impress and leave pleasant memories. We suggest making voluminous postcards with your own hands, they are also called pop-up postcards. What are these wonderful postcards?! At first glance, these are ordinary postcards, but when you open them, you suddenly see volumetric figure or a whole composition! Such cards will not leave anyone indifferent! Especially if they are original and keep the warmth of your hands!
DIY cards with flowers inside
Even a child can make a heart-shaped card with a three-dimensional flower inside:
YOU WILL NEED IT
We make both simple and complex creation technologies.
A lush flower for the inside or outside of the card can be made from colored or even plain paper, painted watercolor paints or pastel crayons. You can cut flowers using this template:
Print out the flower template and color it with paints. Fold it according to the marked fold lines and glue the resulting flower onto the base of the card.
Such a magnificent and bright postcard with flowers inside, made by yourself.
He explains how to make it in his master class. TheJulianaHappy:
The option with delicate, pastel colors looks very cute. Making stamens for flowers is not difficult!
Original master class on English language, so for your convenience we offer a short translation of the process of creating this flower card.
Standard materials and tools: colored paper, cardboard, scissors, glue, plastic to imitate glass in a window.
Take a tight one colored paper, fold it in half. Cut out a square window in one half.
We make a frame from colored paper of a different color. The glass for the window can be made from a protective film for your phone or transparent plastic. Glue the resulting window frame to the base of the postcard. You can do without “glass” at all.
Glue it into the hole
Glue from cardboard flower pot, glue it in the middle of the card on the fold line. Glue the sides of the resulting pot together so that when you close the card, the pot folds up.
Next, from colored paper we cut out green stems and all kinds of bright flowers: crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips. Perhaps your bouquet will not be spring, but summer, which means that cornflowers, daisies, pansies, etc. will appear.
Glue the flowers into the pot
The height of the flowers should be such that they do not stick out from the card, but are visible through the window!
The window can be decorated with a cozy curtain.
Original master class
Using the same principle, you can make a card with felt or painted flowers. cotton pads. Additionally, insert a laconic but warm congratulation along with the flowers!
In addition to the flowers from the postcard, you can also see air balloons, stars, bows.
How to make a panoramic flower card along with a congratulatory envelope shows in his master class TheWorkshop:
We take thick paper - the basis for our postcard. Create a rectangle in the center of the fold line of the card. The width of the rectangle is 3 cm, length is 7 cm.
We make cuts along the pink lines with a stationery knife. Then we fold the resulting rectangle inside the postcard. We attach the base of the card to another sheet, b O larger in size than the original base.
Then we make a floral design: a flower pot, the flowers themselves, fluttering butterflies and grass. We combine all this and glue it to the front of our postcard.
Original master class.
Using the same technique, you can make an original vase postcard. You can also make flowers in such vases with your own hands from paper or other available materials.
We bring to your attention a master class on making a very delicate three-dimensional card, which will not only congratulate the recipient, but will also fit perfectly into the interior of, for example, a children's room.
First we make a box frame. To do this, we take a dense blue paper and cut out a template for the box from it. We fold the edges of the template 4 times, 5 mm on each side, thereby forming a frame. Glue the resulting frames together.
On top of them we glue colored or scrap paper in a color that matches your composition.
Next, we will prepare the elements of the future composition. Glue it together balloon from paper circles. We fold the circles in half and glue them together. A waxed cord is glued into the base of the basket and directly into the circles, forming a ball.
We cut out clouds from scrap paper and a sun from yellow paper. Glue the elements of the composition into a frame. We glue the balloon as follows: we glue the base of the balloon with bulk tape, and the balloon itself with glue. We glue the clouds using the same principle: one with glue, the other with bulk tape.
We make green grass from a simple napkin. First we cut it, then glue it. On the right side of the box we glue a tree made using a hole punch for Scrapbooking. The final touch is in free places Glue on serpentine, butterflies and a congratulatory inscription! We glue a ribbon with embroidery or lace to the bottom of the box. The original three-dimensional postcard is ready!

3D postcards using Kirigami technique
Kirigami is the art of cutting and folding figures and cards from paper. This is the main difference between Kirigami and other paper folding techniques and is emphasized in the name: “kiru” - cut, “kami” - paper. The founder of this trend is the Japanese architect Masahiro Chatani.
For production use sheets of paper or thin cardboard, which are cut and folded. Unlike traditional 3D postcards, these paper models usually cut and folded from one sheet of paper. Most often, three-dimensional models of architectural buildings, geometric patterns and various everyday objects, etc. are developed.
It’s better to start with a simple three-dimensional DIY birthday card. For example, using thick paper of two contrasting colors, you can make a birthday cake card:

By combining two mirror “cake” parts cut from different sheets, you can make a whole three-dimensional cake in a postcard!
Use the following template:
There are a lot of options for creating voluminous postcards! Cut and fold your paper masterpieces!
Volumetric postcards using scrapbooking technique
Scrapbooking is the art of decorating photo albums, but its techniques are also very popular when creating cards.
Using Kirigami elements, using the Scrapbooking technique, you can also make a three-dimensional postcard with your own hands. We cut out and fold “steps” from scrap paper for the “pop-up” candles on the second half of the card. Glue the candles and glue the resulting blank onto the base of the card.
From scrap or colored paper you can make a simple but original greeting card. We cut out the candle flame and decorate it with sparkles, then glue it to 2-sided tape. We glue the second part of the candle with glue. The congratulation itself can be tied or glued to an elegant satin ribbon. Simple and original!
A postcard made from paper of a different texture will look completely different)
By placing each element of the card on top of each other, again using double-sided tape, you can create such a voluminous, bright cake!
Let's take a look at Tatiana Sadomskaya's master class on how to easily make a three-dimensional the most tender postcard using the Scrapbooking technique using ready-made pictures.
To create such a postcard, Tatyana used:
- scrap set ScrapBerry’s “Favorite Pet”
- scissors
- thick cardboard
It is better to use scrap paper with a large number of miniatures that can be cut from a single sheet, as well as colored stamp prints and chipboards.
Before creating a postcard, you need to decide on its subject in order to choose the color of the base of the postcard and its “ characters" In this case, the basis is paper with a calm beige print, and the components of the plot are cut out of it: kittens, a puppy, flowers, a crown on a pillow.
Don’t forget to decide before starting this work what will be in the foreground and what will be behind it!
In our case, we put the larger kitten in the foreground, this will enhance the feeling that it is closer than kittens with a dog.
We make the necessary cuts. The result is a design with “steps”. We glue leaves of arbitrary size onto the resulting “steps”. These leaves imitate a wooden fence.
Next, we gradually glue our elements, starting from near to far. We start from the foreground and glue the kitten. We glue it onto beer cardboard, because it gives additional volume and casts a shadow. Using the same principle, you can glue several other elements, for example, balls and flowers. When the inside is ready, glue it to the base of the card.
We also decorate the outside of the card with an elegant floral print.
For greater elegance, decorate the elements of the card with sparkles (use glitter).
Original master class.
For inspiration, check out this masterpiece 3D cake card:
Volumetric postcards-dioramas
We present to your attention a master class on making a 3D postcard - a small three-dimensional scene. On such a stage, everyone can place various fancy figures and decorations)
To make a postcard, take 4 sheets of thick cardboard, in this case We take cardboard in four shades of orange. You can choose colors to suit your taste.
On sheets of cardboard, draw the outline of the frames with a pencil and cut them out. Make the frame outline 1 cm wide.
From the remaining fragments of paper we cut out two strips, each measuring 10 by 4 cm. We line each one into 4 parts of 1 cm each. We cut off all the corners of the resulting strips. Fold the strips along the lines to form a paper zigzag. These zigzag pieces will support the diorama fragments. Glue the zigzags to the frame on both sides.
Glue the second frame clearly along the line on the other side of the zigzag.
The top of the zigzag should cover one side of the frame. The same must be done with the opposite side. Thus, the first scene of the diorama is ready!
Using the same principle, we make the remaining frames of the diorama.
It's better to decorate each of the frames (especially the last one) in advance than to try to squeeze decor into the finished card.
The back wall does not have to be solid; you can make a transparent diorama without a back wall.
Decorate not only the “wall” of the diorama, but also each frame. Use more voluminous decorations, such as beads, bows, feathers, ribbons, etc. This will make the card seem more voluminous and will enhance the 3D effect!
Original master class.
You can come up with absolutely any plot! Create your own little theater!
For example, the waiting Assol!
Or a hot air balloon in fluffy clouds.
Bright meadow with lupine and butterflies!
Birdhouse with birds and flowers:
Accordion postcard (diagrams and templates)
Another type of voluminous postcard is the accordion postcard.
To create such a postcard you will need: thick scrap paper for the base frame, a die-cut scrap knife or stationery knife, transparent plastic for the internal parts, stamens, semi-pearls and other materials for decoration.
We take the template and make blanks for the postcard. We cut out 8 blanks for the base frame from thick scrap paper and 4 from transparent plastic.
Thick paper blank...
...and transparent plastic
We glue the plastic blanks to a paper base. To make the card fold, we make a double crease of about 2 mm on the outer folds. We connect the resulting 4 parts - glue them with glue or use 2-sided tape. Glue the remaining 4 frames on the opposite side.
Now you can begin the most creative part of creating a card - decorating it! Glue fluttering butterflies and twisted greenery to the plastic. The postcard is ready!
Original master class
See below for various templates for making the bases of such postcards:
Using your imagination, you can create all sorts of variants of such folding postcards. For example, with a predominance of children's themes. The number of components may vary.
Birds, flowers, butterflies always look very light and airy on postcards!
Postcards for all occasions
