Original postcards from March 8

Choosing a postcard theme

It would seem, what to choose? The eighth day of March in our country is a women's holiday, which means we need something pleasant for women. And here there is room for thought, because the theme for the postcard can be:

• flowers (bouquets and individual flowers);
• plant motifs(leaves, twigs, blades of grass and other flora);
• beautiful abstraction (spots, splashes, curls and doodles);
• family motifs (stylized depiction of the whole family, the relationship between mother and child);
• motherhood (happy mother in different life or comical situations);
• femininity (any images associated with femininity - self-care, outfits);
• culinary themes (charming confectionery products can lift the spirits of many women);
• animals.

My daughter also suggested using all kinds of insects as a theme for the cards, but, in my opinion, it could be either butterflies or dragonflies - all other insects do not seem attractive to me.

Choosing a work technique

To understand how to do it, you first need to figure out what techniques are available to you and what you can work with. These could be:

• painting and graphics;
• applique;
• scrapbooking;
• origami;
• decoupage;
• embroidery.

As backup options, you can also use beadwork and knitting, but such cards turn out to be too bulky and labor-intensive.

Different topics and different techniques

Several examples of postcards of different themes, which are made in different techniques with a brief description of the work.

Graphics and flowers

The simplest combination, making such a postcard is very easy. Draw flowers in any technique you like - with watercolors, alcohol markers or even gel pens, fold the sheet in half and decorate the drawing a little by adding small details - for example, with glitter gel pens.

Or cut out several circles of different diameters from multi-colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist them into buds, you will get cute little flowers with which you can decorate a card.

Another option for a postcard:

You will also need to sign the postcard - you can try to depict beautiful inscription with your own hands, using the technique of fake calligraphy, or you can simply print out the inscription you like from the Internet.

Options for printable phrases from the site:

Floral motifs and quilling

Quilling is the ideal technique if you want to create voluminous and original beautiful cards by March 8, . To work, you will need a sketch or a master class, a piece of thick paper for a postcard (for example, colored cardboard) and strips of colored paper for quilling.

You need to lay out a drawing from the stripes according to the sketch, gluing it in such a way that it holds its shape well. Or take advantage of the master class and follow its recommendations. Such cards turn out very impressive and beautiful.

If you want to get a voluminous, beautiful postcard for March 8, made by yourself, then it makes sense to make all the elements using the quilling technique separately, and then assemble them on a blank - this way you can work out the composition and come up with your own style.

Abstraction in any technique

This is a fairly simple way to make beautiful cards in just a few minutes, especially if you have minimal skill in working with paints and understand how to mix colors on a sheet so as to get beautiful stains and not dirt on the sheet.

You can try the marbling or suminagashi technique - special paints are dripped onto the water, and the stains are “removed” onto the paper by dipping. This technique allows you to imitate marble - I think you will get beautiful abstract greeting cards.

You can try using monotype - to do this, apply a few drops of liquid watercolor to any smooth and non-absorbent surface, attach a sheet of paper and remove - you will get a beautiful print that can be used as a background for a postcard.

Marbling, like monotype, is very easy way make a beautiful background, and a hand-made background can be decorated with a ready-made inscription (for example, printed from the Internet).

Scrapbooking and femininity

Working in the scrapbooking technique is interesting and quite simple, but you will need to visit a craft store to buy materials for work - cuttings, chipboards, beautiful adhesive tapes, interesting texturing pastes and all kinds of glitters.

Choose an image for your card - for example, a dress and lace. This is not a very complicated image that even a child can embody. So, you need to choose a background for the card, cut it out and glue it to the base.

Then make the central element - the dress. The upper part is simply cut out of paper, the lower part is best folded into a fan to give a little volume. Glue a piece of lace and some small symbol onto the background - it could be the number eight, a flower, a bird or a butterfly, and then install the central element, and your card is ready.

Origami and animals

Learning to fold origami is very easy, and voluminous postcard, decorated with origami looks interesting. Try to make a cute little fox, cat or bird.

To make a postcard you will need origami paper (can be replaced with ordinary colored double-sided paper), a base for the postcard and decor of your choice. If you want the card to be elegant, then you can use sparkles, foil patterns and stars.

And if you like minimalism, then a plain background and a bright paper animal are a great choice!

Culinary theme in different techniques

If you want to make a card in a culinary style, then you can take different motifs - a jar of jam, a beautiful cupcake or just a cup of coffee. This greeting card will be cozy and charming.

For production you will need materials for scrapbooking, but you can get by with improvised means - trimmings beautiful paper, unusual lace and labels, multi-colored tape and voluminous flowers. Gather finished goods- a pleasure, especially if the topic is close to you.

The pot itself will be made from wallpaper strips, you can even take fabric.

In general, it’s a matter of your imagination and how old your charges are. Of course, for children 3-5 years old, the simplest version of applique made from ordinary colored paper is suitable, and for older children and primary school You can suggest using fabric, such as felt, or foamiran.

Young people do not always understand and accept romance. All these cute cards, bouquets of flowers, gifts tied with a ribbon are boring for them and are relics of the past. But young acquaintances also need to be congratulated somehow. Otherwise you will be on their blacklist forever.

The girls will be delighted with them, appreciate the gift and remember the giver as a creative person who keeps up with the times. They are suitable as a sign of attention for a best friend who loves jokes and practical jokes.

Official congratulations

Beautiful postcards and funny photos are not always appropriate. They can be presented to your mother, friend, or someone you know well. But if you need to congratulate a boss, a children’s teacher, a doctor or an unfamiliar woman on International Women’s Day, they become inappropriate. Something more standard and strict is needed here.

Pictures with poems in an official style with universal words that will be appropriate for every lady will come to the rescue. These are not banal wishes that have long been familiar, but specially selected congratulations without frills, interesting and catchy.

All the best to the family

Therefore, preparation for March 8 in the family circle begins long before the holiday.

Very soon the spring sun will warm us and we will meet a very long-awaited day for all women. It appears on the calendar under the date March 8th.

On this day, all ladies are given gifts, flowers and congratulations. Therefore, let's start preparing for it in advance. And we will look at this holiday from the position kindergarten and schools, because creating a gift card is definitely included in the program.

I also remember these creativity lessons very well, only at that time we created during the lessons themselves, but now such crafts are assigned as homework. So I picked up some cute ideas and collected them in one place. Let's get creative.

First of all, children rush to congratulate their mothers and grandmothers. Therefore, I want to put all my warmth and love into these creations.

I really liked the works that little children from 4 years old can repeat.

Available materials are used: pasta, buttons and paper flowers.

It is recommended to glue them with PVA glue, because it is considered the most harmless.

Children at this age cannot yet cut out small figures evenly, following the outline, so prepare the figured parts in advance.

Or this version of a very cute postcard.

It's very easy to do. You need to take several multi-colored sheets of cardboard.

Fold the main one in half and place the fold up.

For flowers we will need: 3 circles of different colors, with a diameter of 3 cm, 3 multi-colored circles with a diameter of 2 centimeters and three circles with a diameter of 1 centimeter.

We cut out a rectangle from cardboard, make allowances of 0.5 cm along three edges. We bend them and grease them with glue. This creates a pocket where we will insert flower buds.

All that remains is to cut the stems, 3 centimeters long and 50 millimeters wide.

We glue the circles on top of each other in descending order.

The kids will definitely love this craft.

Check out another cute idea with voluminous flowers.

Flowers are drawn on cardboard with a pencil, then they are carefully cut out along the contour and folded.

To make a stronger contrast of daisies, you need to stick a square of colored paper behind each flower on the wrong side.

The wrong side with a ready-made design will look neater if you cover it with a sheet of paper.

How to make a postcard from paper and cardboard

In order for the card to hold its shape well, it is necessary to use a sheet of cardboard for its base. You can purchase two-color, velvet, or textured sheets. There is a huge selection in office supply stores.

I suggest doing nice congratulations, where you need to carefully cut out the ornament with a stationery knife.

For convenience, there is already a template that can be printed or translated from the monitor screen by attaching a white sheet of paper.

We transfer our lines to the wrong side of the card and begin to cut out with a blade or knife.

This card is already suitable for children in grade 1 and older. Of course, under the watchful supervision of the parent so that the child does not cut himself.

Flowers are cut out of paper. You can smooth them a little with your fingers so that the petals bend.

Also pay attention to this cute applique. Textured cardboard was used for the vase.

Let's look at the order in which the colors are made.

For them, it is better to use colored thick double-sided paper.

Using this template we cut out flowers.

Now we take a ruler and begin to tuck each petal.

It will turn out like this.

We connect the finished levels.

Here is the vase template.

Cut it out and paste it onto the base. All that remains is to beautifully arrange the finished buds and glue ribbons in places where there are voids.

The idea of ​​alternating leaves is interesting.

Hearts of different sizes are cut out and folded in half.

Very simple, but tasteful. Thoughtful card design for mom.

Or this option is laconic in shape and color scheme.

Also, if you are good at cutting out of cardboard, try making a similar applique.

The image of flowers and birds always reminds of spring.

Stencils and patterns for congratulations

I know that sometimes it’s difficult to come up with a whole design for a card on your own. Therefore, I thank the people who took care of you and me and posted the results of their work online.

We will be happy to use their design idea, especially since many postcards have diagrams and templates.

There is also a template for these options.

They look from the inside like in the picture.

The scheme itself.

There is also a diagram for such petals.

Very painstaking work. The diagrams for it are on two sheets.

Base for flowers and pot.

Two sizes of greenery for the background.

I think you can find something suitable for yourself.

Original ideas for congratulations from napkins in the form of a dress

Initially, I wanted to write about how to make flowers from napkins, but when I saw these cards, I simply couldn’t resist.

Here we will make a dress from napkins, which are served along with sweet pastries and candies. They are sold in any supermarket. If you don’t find it, you can use absolutely any paper napkin. Only by giving it the shape of a circle in advance.

So, this is what this dress looks like as a result of the creation of craftswomen.

We begin the process of making it. First, let's make a circle, just above the middle.

Fold one edge to the right so that the side folds meet.

Then we cut off the top. Our dress will be cut at the waist.

Cut out the heart so that its lower part fits into the slit of the dress.

Give the heart a corset shape by removing the rounded sides. Glue both parts together and decorate.

Various beads, rhinestones and ribbons are suitable for decoration.

Such a dress will become the center of the composition; it is better to attach it not directly, but at a slight angle to the sides of the base.

I really liked the idea of ​​a hand shaped card. She brings some special warmth and goodwill.

You can glue butterflies, hearts or flowers inside.

We need to take double-sided cardboard and fold it in half.
To give the shape, the child must circle his palm so that the edge of the hand falls on the fold of the cardboard.

You can also round the base of a regular rectangular shape at the ends. This way any design will look more delicate and lighter.

I was impressed by the idea of ​​wooden cards. I think that the craftswoman who came up with such a design is simply brilliant. The appearance of the congratulations is very impressive.

Of course, you and I will not rush to learn laser cutting skills right now.

After all, we remember that behind every design there is a great sketch. Therefore, we take this idea into service and replace the wood with thick cardboard.

How to draw a postcard with watercolors

You can remember the technique of drawing with paints on wet paper from kindergarten. So the lines become fuzzy and gradually turn into a gradient from the dark center to the light edges. What if you start using this technique for the background of a postcard?

For example, we cover the edges with masking tape to get an even frame. Wet the entire surface of the sheet with a brush and carefully draw several watercolor stripes.

Of course, you need to choose delicate shades of pink or joyful orange and yellow.

Leave until completely dry. Then peel off the tape and draw on the background with a black thin marker balloon or dandelion.

To get an even more interesting effect, use sewing machine and sew your design onto the cardboard base.
