They say that it is no longer customary to give cards. This is complete nonsense, because it’s always nice to receive handmade congratulations, especially if they are from loved ones.

When it comes to a child, through a hand-made picture he will be able not only to express his feelings, but also to show the presence of certain talents and character traits. And give such a card to your girlfriend for her birthday.

In the article I will give not only ready-made templates for creativity, but also ideas that you can implement. All options are not complicated, but will require high-quality materials and a huge amount of accuracy.

You want to please these close women in a special way on their holiday, so you need to choose the right colors. Delicate shades and smooth lines immediately come to mind.

Some ideas can be taken from the article about.

For example, ideas with images of dresses are very interesting.

Let's make this decor with our own hands.

We will need an openwork napkin for cupcakes or sweets and glue.

You can create Beautiful design, having worked well with a stationery knife.

For example, this idea.

Take thick two-color cardboard, the kind sold in scrapbooking or craft stores.

A drawing is drawn with a pencil; you can take it from anything on the Internet, for example, a cake or candles. Then, using the sharp tip of a stationery knife, it is carefully squeezed out along the lines.

The main thing is to place a board under the cardboard so as not to spoil the surface of the table.

You can leave it this way, but it is better to glue a rectangular sheet as a backing for the inscription.

Another idea where some elements are cut out. The inscription and plant elements can be repeated with a black helium pen.

Check out another idea with an asymmetrical front edge. Here, by the way, some elements can also be cut through.

Another master class on how to make voluminous postcard inside.

For carved edges, you can use special scissors that give a cut in the shape of a curly line. By the way, my daughter and I have already purchased such an office. The child was slightly shocked that scissors could cut more than just straight.

Ideas for congratulating a man (dad or grandfather)

For men, congratulations are needed with a universal design. And it’s even better if there is a special minimalism in decoration.

You can only use a sheet of paper and multi-colored braid, as in this option.

Notice the interesting edges of the leaf. And for the inscription you can use transparent tracing paper. You might have seen this kind of paper in boxes of candy.

Or another very laconic design that is very suitable for a men's holiday.

Here is a diagram for such a composition, you can even print out the template and make an inscription on it.

Look how bright and festive the design looks, but there’s nothing special about it. Just colorful dots placed in a chaotic order.

The scrapbooking technique allows you to create three-dimensional products. Different textures and shades are used for decoration.

Or you can work really hard and make a greeting with origami elements. All detailed master class is described.

I also liked the laconic idea with geometry. For example, using strips. It turns out strictly, but very elegant.

Stripes can not only be drawn or pasted from paper. But take a closer look at dark tape or braid for this purpose.

Making cards from paper and cardboard in kindergarten with children

Children often make appliqués using paper and cardboard. This is the most affordable material and can be made from it different shapes and figures.

For babies middle group There is an excellent master class. Keep in mind that at this age they may not be able to cut pieces straight on their own, so be prepared to help.

We will need:

Sheet of cardboard
A sheet of white, green and yellow paper
Scissors

We need to make stripes 1 centimeter wide on the daisies.

We glue the edges and get a drop.

We cut out circles with a diameter of 3 centimeters from yellow paper. And glue our droplets to the middle.

This is what happens.

Now you need to cut out the stems from green paper. We form flowers.

The junction of the stems can be decorated with a bow.

Another one step-by-step instruction creating a design with daisies.

We draw with paints or a felt-tip pen the place for the inscription.

Cut out 4 daisies and paint over their core. We also prepare in advance three strips of green paper, 0.5 centimeters wide.

We form the arrangement of the stems and glue the strips.

Glue a piece of double-sided tape to the underside of the daisies and trim the stems to make them shorter.

Glue flowers to the stems. We make an inscription and a bow.

The edges of the postcard can be shaded or covered with colored paper. You can not touch them at all and leave them as is.

How to make a card with flowers for a woman's birthday

It is customary for women to be given not only bouquets of fresh flowers, but also postcards with their images.

I suggest making such a cute applique.

You will need:

Sheet of cardboard
2 sheets of thick double-sided pink paper
ribbons of two colors
white textured sheet
ruler

So first you need to cut out the vase.

I have provided a template for the colors to be cut out.

You need to bend the petals using a ruler, like this.

You can use this template.

Look how tender such a simple congratulation looks. Even a schoolchild can repeat this idea. Moreover, roses can be replaced with another form of flowers or even hearts or circles can be depicted in their place.

An option for those who do quilling. Or a great opportunity to start practicing this technique. There are many on the Internet detailed instructions about this theme.

This decoration turns out to be very self-sufficient; you don’t even need to add an inscription.

For needlewomen who use felt or sewing in their creativity, I offer this idea.

It is better to glue the parts using hot glue.

I think that you can easily implement all the options shown, the main thing is to approach it with soul.

Ideas for simple congratulations on

balls

Balloons are one of the most important attributes of the holidays. And on your birthday they must be present, even if only on a postcard.

Check out a selection of interesting ideas. Perhaps they will inspire you for a creative evening.

An idea with grooved balls arranged in a precise geometric grid.

These circles can be cut from packaging cardboard if you remove upper layer and get to the stiffeners.

Better yet, give a whole armful of multi-colored balloons so that the birthday boy can fly away on them to his swords.

A more complex design idea.

Unusual color of balls. They are cut out from background images.

Glue the decor onto bulky double-sided tape. Then you get a 3D variation.

Another simple idea.

Notice how nicely simple small translucent buttons fit into this design.

You can download any font for an inscription and install it in the simplest graphics editor, even Paint on your computer.

Write a congratulation in it and translate it by attaching the paper to the monitor. And now you have a template ready.

The background can be taken not only white, but also black. In general, give preference to contrasting, calm options.

I think that absolutely any needlewoman can use balls in her composition.

Simple gift ideas for your sister or friend

Girls make cards much more often than boys. Therefore, there are many more feminine ideas.

For your friend, you can make a figured congratulation in the form of a crown.

You can use any template for it.

Also cut out animal shapes.

Prepare letters for congratulations from different textures and make an inscription from them.

Just stick on a lot of hearts.

Give the gift of a button rainbow! I liked this idea more than all the others. Incredibly simple, but tasteful.

Another idea is to use a bouquet of hearts. By the way, to make this option more interesting. Machine stitch with white thread along the center line of each heart.

Also stylish and laconic design using a contrasting backing and many circles.

Such even circles can be obtained by using a hole punch.

My dears, I have analyzed those options that you yourself can repeat at home and with the simplest materials at hand. I will be happy if you add this article to your bookmarks.

A birthday gift is always a hassle, albeit a pleasant one. I want the congratulation to be remembered, and the gift to become pleasant surprise. A good gift For the guy's birthday there will be a card made by the girl with her own hands. Unique and stylish postcard – good way please dear person.

Handmade birthday cards for boyfriend require preparation. Before you start making it, you need to think about how it will look, choose the theme of the postcard, the technique of execution, the color scheme, and finishing materials.

We should not forget that the card is made for a guy, and this means:

relevant topic;
restrained colors;
special “brutal” decor;
clear laconic style registration

You need to immediately decide what technique the postcard will be made in. Vintage pastel shabby chic is unlikely to suit. Despite its popularity and attractiveness, this style is too sophisticated and feminine. No matter how romantic a guy is, he is unlikely to appreciate the abundance of delicate flowers and elegant lace typical for such cards.

Postcards using the quilling technique are not so sophisticated and pretentious, but again, do the graceful curls and the flower-sheep-patterns laid out from them combine with the image of the guy? Although if he is an artist, designer or creative person of another profession, he can appreciate it.

But the plot of the picture needs to be thought through: a car, a sailboat, a guitar, a bicycle – on thematic sites it’s easy to find ideas and tips for implementing truly masculine subjects. In combination with a restrained color scheme, such a plot will give the postcard a masculine character.

But scrapbooking, which allows you to use anything in compositions, even gears and metal rivets, is an excellent option for a brutal postcard for a brutal guy. You need to choose the theme of the postcard, one or two pictures, appropriate decor, and all that remains is to create a harmonious composition.

Materials for decoration need to be selected appropriately: metal parts, dressing twine, large buttons, leather appliqués, rough cardboard.

The appliqué technique will also work. Carefully and tastefully cut out and selected details, glued to the base, can become a wonderful postcard. In addition, applications can be made voluminous, “rising” from an open card, multi-layered, from different materials.

You also need to think through the plot, materials used, color combinations to make the postcard look stylish.

Postcards using quilling technique

Quilling is the creation of compositions from twisted strips of multi-colored paper. Creating complex compositions requires experience and skill. But even a beginning craftswoman can make simple images.

Postcard with tie

To make a postcard in the form of a shirt with a simple quilling tie:

For the base of the postcard, use thick colored cardboard measuring 12x18 cm in light brown color;
a 9x10 cm rectangle is cut out of white paper - the top of the shirt;
in the center long side a vertical cut is made 3 cm deep. The paper along the edges of the cut is bent to the sides in the form of corners - a shirt collar;
a 5x10 rectangle is cut out of dark brown paper - the bottom of the shirt;
the white top and brown bottom of the shirt are carefully glued end-to-end in the center of the card;
A tight roll is twisted from a black quilling strip 5 mm wide, slightly unraveled to a diameter of 2 cm, the tip of the tape is secured with glue;
the roll is compressed to give triangular shape, glued under the collar - tie knot;
the same roll is rolled up, expanded to a diameter of 8 cm, and compressed to give it an oblong shape - a tie. The inner curls are laid asymmetrically to create an unusual pattern;
the tie is secured under the knot.

for the final design of the postcard you can use beautiful inscription, decorate the edges, add patterns and quilling figures.

Postcard with guitar

Creating a guitar will require more time and patience, but it also looks much more interesting. It is better to use it in the design of a double postcard; this voluminous composition will look good on a large base.

To create it:

a thick sheet of A4 format is folded in half - the base of the postcard;
Place the card so that the fold is at the top. On the front side there is a guitar on the left, and a congratulation is drawn up on the right;
on the left is the base for the guitar - a rectangle of thick paper 9x12 cm, in a yellow-brown color scheme, with figuredly cut edges;
on the right is pasted the same sheet, but 2-3 times smaller - the basis for the congratulatory inscription. It can be attached slightly obliquely, creating an interesting composition;
to create a guitar you will need strips of brown (black), white and yellow flowers. First, the outline of the guitar is drawn on the base: the outlines of the soundboard, fretboard and neck are drawn;
stripes-borders are laid out along the drawn contour - the outline of the soundboard is laid out in brown, the pickguard is white, the fingerboard is laid out in yellow stripes;
the next step is to fill in the created contours. Rolls are rolled in three colors. Their number depends on the size of the guitar and the size of the rolls. On average, you will need 15-17 rolls per part, 12-14 per neck;
brown rolls bloom to a diameter of 2 cm, slightly flatten and fit into the contour of the deck. They are given their final shape as they are filled. You may need 2-3 rolls of smaller diameter;
the overlay is filled in the same way as rolls white;
for the neck, the rolls open to a diameter of 1-1.5 cm and are laid out vertically;
two small black stripes are glued on top of the pickguard in the center of the guitar - imitation of pickups. The guitar is ready;
issued congratulatory inscription and the inside of the postcard.

On a postcard for a guy it would also be appropriate to put a car, a sailboat, a motorcycle, or - why not? - a mug of beer.

Fold it in half, right side inward. Stepping back 1.5 cm from the edge, draw a line 4 cm long on the fold.
Then, retreating another 1.2 cm from this line, again draw a segment 4 cm long. And so, alternating the distances
from lines 1.5 and 1.2, mark segments 4 cm long to the next edge of the postcard.
