Some people really love sweets, others love flowers and souvenirs, and others simply love something so unusual that they simply didn’t even expect to receive on their birthday. Some people generally like to be alone with themselves on their birthday and think about their lives. But still, most people celebrate name days, if not with friends in a noisy and cheerful company, then at least in the circle of their loved ones and relatives. How to surprise the birthday boy and what to give him so unusual? All people are different, so interests and taste preferences are also varied; it is simply impossible to please absolutely everyone. Since ancient times and to this day, a greeting card has been a mandatory attribute of any holiday. What is opened is not just a piece of paper with a poem, so to speak, your sincere wishes from the heart are only written down verbally in this postcard.The choice of postcards, of course, is now huge, and it happens that you go to a store to choose, and your eyes just run wide from the huge assortment, but if you look closer, they are all identical and boring. But I want some kind of riddle and secret that will be remembered for many years.
We need to invent a little, take everything you need and make a postcard box with a secret with your own hands, and handicraft techniques for working with paper will serve as a very good assistant in this. scrapbooking. We will make not just a postcard, but a three-dimensional one in the Pop-Up style. For the master class we need to take the following:
• Marble pink cardboard A4;
• Scheme;
• Scrap paper of several shades, in soft pink tones;
• Pictures with bunnies, owls and flowers;
• Two “Happy Birthday” greetings: one stamped, the other printed;
• White mother-of-pearl openwork circle;
• Butterflies cut out pink;
• Curb hole punch;
• Flowers made from different materials: pink, red, two-color;
• Pink berries with sugar powder;
• White organza ribbon;
• Pink buttons and small half-beads;
• Double-sided tape;
• PVA glue;
• Glue gun;
• Other miscellaneous decor optional;
• Lighter, scissors, ruler, pencil.




So, to begin with, we cut out 18*30 cm from marble cardboard, now we divide it into the following parts according to the diagram. We make cuts where the lines are crane-colored, and in the rest we make scoring with scissors.






Now we cut out these scrap paper blanks from different papers. We make three jumpers from the remaining cardboard, decorate them with a border hole punch, and glue scrap blanks onto them.




We cut out the pictures, smoothly rounding the edges, and tint them with an ink pad.We glue the pictures to the paper with double-sided tape.




We sew on pictures and inscriptions with a machine. Now we glue all the scrap paper parts to the base.




We also machine sew it on. We glue the circle with the bunny onto the base stand, then we glue the Pop-up card itself and then the jumpers, we glue everything with PVA.




We glue pictures onto the jumpers, as well as onto strips of paper that we glue to the jumpers, it turns out three-dimensional.




What remains is the decor, which we glue with a gun. Ready! The box postcard looks like a box and can be folded into a postcard at the same time!
