It’s better to make a New Year’s card yourself, it will be doubly pleasant, and most importantly, the manufacturing process will give you great pleasure.
For such a postcard we need to take:
- Light blue pastel paper A4 sheet;
- Scrappaper in white and blue colors on a New Year theme, sheet 30*30 cm;
- Half sheet of A4 watercolor paper;
- Rep ribbon with New Year's print in grayish color;
- Cutting down snowflakes and deer;
- Pictures about the New Year and with a sheep;
- Set of acrylic stamps “Happy New Year”;
- Oval cabochon with bells;
- Blue and white berries covered in sugar;
- Stamens in sugar and pearlescent in blue tones;
- New Year's bouquet;
- White wide organza ribbon;
- Metal snowflake;
- Acrylic snowflakes and mother-of-pearl half-beads;
- Ruler, scissors, pencil, double-sided tape, PVA glue, glue gun.
The first thing we do is cut out a 20x20 cm square from pastel paper, and then divide it in half and fold it. It turns out that we have a base for a folded postcard of 10x20 cm.
When finished, the card will look like it’s double, with Merry Christmas on one side and Happy New Year on the other. We cut out two rectangles from New Year's paper 9.9 * 19.8 cm, and also a picture 6.5 * 10.5 cm.
We stamp inscriptions on a piece of watercolor, cut out two different ones and a strip of ribbon with a New Year’s motif.
We apply the tape and wrap it, and glue the inscriptions with tape at the bottom. We cut out a rectangle of 8.5*17 cm from the watercolor, round the edges and glue the sheep at the bottom, and stamp it at the top.
We sew all glued elements with a machine.
We glue the scrap paper onto the cover and sew both sides separately.
Glue the inside. From the stamens and berries we make a bouquet and glue it, then an organza bow, a snowflake deer, a pendant and half beads.
We receive a very tender New Year's card for wishes!
