The author’s video contains the best selection of unusual ideas for inspiration, thanks to which you can make a beautiful postcard from colored cardboard with sparkles for the New Year with your own hands. You can also complement original holiday ideas with personal fantasies.
New Year card "Fir-tree"
The Christmas tree is a traditional attribute of the New Year. Therefore, the festive "double-leaf" postcard with the image of a Christmas tree is the best congratulation on the eve of future changes. To make a New Year surprise, you will need:
- A4 color cardboard;
- Glue stick with sparkles;
- Decorative elements (at personal discretion).
First of all, you need to prepare the basis for the future postcards. Anyone who knows firsthand about scrapbooking will easily perform this operation.
External design
The cardboard must be cut to size and gently bent in half. If there is no colored paper, you can take a regular A4 sheet and paint it with watercolor paint. On the front surface, draw sketches of future Christmas trees. For convenience, you can use pre-prepared templates.
Use glue with sparkles to make Christmas trees beautiful. If such an “accessory” is not available, you can use ordinary PVA glue and separately sparkles - the effect will be similar. After this, festive Christmas trees need to be given more expressiveness. It is enough to circle them along the contour with a special marker with acrylic paint.
Finishing touch…
At the final stage of creative work, you need to write a traditional holiday phrase: "Happy New Year." To make the font beautiful, you need to practice a little. But the end result is worth it. Be sure to write a congratulatory poem or personal wishes inside the card.
For the effect of "surprise", use different decorative elements of New Year's theme. Such an unusual gift for the New Year with your own hands can be made at home, if there is a desire and time.
