Take a sheet of A5 thick paper and fold it in half under a ruler. From colored paper, cut out the background for the main page of the greeting card. It should be 5-7 mm smaller than the postcard itself.

From paper with a different pattern, cut a strip 1, 5 cm wide and length corresponding to the width of the background frame of the card. It is advisable to use a paper knife, as the scissors leave uneven cuts.

All prepared parts are attached to the postcard using double-sided tape or glue stick. It is best to use double-sided tape, since the glue can distort the paper after drying. Cut the tape over the entire area of each piece and attach the other side to the backing board. First, just below the center of the postcard, glue a horizontal strip, and then a house on it. Decorate the house with lace at your discretion. Attach a Christmas star to the center of the roof of the house and decorate it with a shiny bead.

It is best to use self-adhesive rhinestones for this purpose, which are very simple and convenient to use.
