Hello! In this article I will tell you how to make an original greeting card for your loved one. This idea came to my mind quite by accident, but it is so interesting that I decided to share it with you. Undoubtedly, this card will pleasantly surprise your soul mate.:)
It is necessary
- What we need:
- 1. Cardboard sheet
- 2. Background (you can copy the notebook, as I did, or print the background)
- 3. Glue stick (do not use liquid glue!)
- 4. Scissors
- 5. Stapler
- 6. Sticker-bookmark (you can cut a strip from a regular sticker)
- 7. Ruler
- 8. A small piece of paper (from my notebook)
- 9. Black gel pen (color can also be used)
- 10. Drawing or printout.
- So, let's begin!
Instructions
Step 1
Stage 1. Preparation of the base.
1. First, we need to decide what size our postcard will be. I didn't really think about it, I just cut off a 12 cm wide strip from a sheet of cardboard.
2. Next, cut off all unnecessary from the background, adjusting it to the size of the base.
Step 2
Stage 2. Section.
1. Bend the sheet with the background in half and outline the middle. We retreat an equal distance from the middle on each side. You don't need to make it very large, look at the width and length of the zipper. It should open effortlessly.
Step 3
Stage 3. "Sew on"
1. Take the stapler and "sew" the zipper to the background. Be careful, this is a very painstaking job. It turns out beautifully, as if stitches. Especially if you use colored paper clips.
Step 4
Stage 4. Create the "filling" of the postcard.
It all depends on who this card is for. I decided to make her romantic, so I chose a picture with a couple in love.
1. Cut a strip from a small piece of paper from a notebook. We fold it like an accordion and write something romantic on it. I chose the phrase "My life is happy with you", which means "My life is beautiful with you." We glue the strip to the picture and secure it with a sticker-bookmark.
2. We glue the picture to the base so that it can be clearly seen when the lightning opens. ATTENTION! Glue only the picture, no stripes, you just need to roll it up.
Step 5
Stage 5. Final.
1. We glue the background with a zipper to the base, smearing with glue only the right, left and bottom edges. Now you can open the postcard and see what happened.
Excellent! You have made an original postcard to your loved one. Congratulations!:)
