DIY birthday cards for husband. Men's cards

Sometimes, in a handicraft impulse, you want to make something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer in Once again I decided to put together a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and short descriptions, how to make this or that postcard.

I tried to select as many different images as possible, both in style and theme, so that there was plenty to choose from. Of course, each postcard is just an example of how you can make postcards with your own hands.

To mom

How to make a card for mom? It’s clear that it should be the most beautiful and touching, but I want some specifics, right? The first thing you need to do is focus on the reason, it could be:

an unplanned card for no reason;
Mother's Day or March 8;
New Year and Christmas;
birthday or name day;
professional holidays.

Of course, no one can stop you from making and giving your mom a postcard dedicated to the first snow or even the release of your favorite TV series, but in general, the main reasons are indicated quite clearly.

A New Year's card for mom can be ordinary (from the point of view of New Year's greetings, of course), it is not necessary to somehow emphasize the special relationship. But a birthday or Mother's Day are special holidays on which it is worth presenting a personal card with the signature “To my beloved mother.”

How to make a birthday card for mom? Draw a sketch with a simple pencil, add a little color to guide you color scheme and understand what shades you will need as you work. So, you need to buy or find in the bins:

a blank for your needlework (thick and thin cardboard is suitable);
background image - it can be scrap paper, colored paper, any sheet that you like with its ornament, or you can simply artistically splash paint on a sheet of white thick paper or even use monotype and marbling techniques;
chipboard for inscription - it is better to purchase a ready-made one or use a special stapler to decorate the edge;
a couple of decorative elements - flowers, butterflies, beads and leaves;
one or two large decorative elements - flowers or bows;
decorative tape;
good glue;
scalloped ribbon or lace.

First you need to glue the background image to the blank, then position large flowers, and only then complement the resulting composition with small decor and lace. Dry well finished work, decorate with small decor and sparkles, and then sign - mom will be happy with such a sign of attention.

Now you know how to make a card for Mother's Day, and you can easily figure out what a card for an anniversary or angel's day should be like.

Another original option: the essence is that you need to cut out circles from colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist it into a bud, you will get cute flowers with which you can decorate a card.

To dad

A DIY birthday card for dad is always very touching and sweet. Choosing a particular "papal" theme is not too easy, but there is a wonderful straw to grab onto - style. If you make a stylish card, then the father will undoubtedly be happy to receive it, even if it does not contain the usual symbols of “masculinity,” which in our country often include cars, weapons and fishing.

Naturally, if the father is celebrating the anniversary of his driving experience, then a car on a postcard is quite appropriate, but on dad’s birthday it is better to present a neutral and beautiful greeting card.

What kind of cards do men like:

not too colorful;
in a calm, slightly muted palette;
with clean lines;
in which a lot of effort has been visually invested.

I would like to say especially about the last point. If your mom liked a card made from a piece of lace, a bow and a beautiful chipboard, then dad will appreciate a hand-made poster from paper with an elegant, lacy cutout - painstaking and graceful.

Men admire the process, so before you make a nice card using the scrapbooking technique, think about how you can put your work into the card? This can be working with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.

Incorporate a few elements of hard work and love into your work and your dad's birthday card will be stunning.

So, we make paper cards with our own hands for our beloved daddy. Start by choosing a subject - this could be some element of a male portrait - a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.

Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.

Make a pattern for the future postcard and get to work - if this is a regular applique, then cut out all the elements and carefully lay out the future composition. And in the case of artistic cutting, it is better to spend time on the pattern and drawing. By the way, for this work you will need a good breadboard knife.

After all the main elements have been cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - so that the work looked really delicate, you will need to choose shades that will highlight all the slits.

Make a central element on your card, and then put it under a press - this will help prevent the paper from deforming from the moisture contained in the glue.

In honor of the wedding

Making beautiful cards with your own hands for a wedding is not an easy task, and here it is better to watch master classes.

A wedding is one of the most important events in the life of a young family, and therefore it is not enough just to draw a card, you need to carefully design and package it, and perhaps supplement it with some other elements.

How to do beautiful postcard for congratulations on your wedding day:

come up with an idea;
find out from the bride and groom the main color of the wedding, or the main theme of the celebration;
look at various options for postcards - using scrapbooking techniques, with embroidery, ribbons, and so on;
choose several interesting lessons;
make a rough postcard from paper and cardboard (and if you are not sure of your result, then it is better to do this step several times);
make original cards with your own hands;
choose packaging and make it a little more unique;
label the envelope and postcard.

Other occasions and recipients

Rest assured, handmade birthday cards will delight the recipients - after all, this is not just a DIY postcard made in a master class, it is a real man-made miracle that keeps a piece of the soul.

You can make cards for mom and dad with your own hands, or you can delight your friends before every holiday with a custom greeting - all you need is free time, good master classes and a little patience.

3D postcards look especially impressive. How to make a three-dimensional postcard? Come up with (or look at experienced authors) an idea on how you can shape it so that you get voluminous postcards. You may want to use more decorative elements, or you may decide to make a simple DIY birthday card with 3D elements.

By the way, if you are wondering how to make a postcard for your mother or friend with voluminous paper elements, take a closer look at children's books. Surely you still have several copies, when opened, carriages and castles, trees and horses appeared between the pages.

Take a close look at how these elements are made and glued together - you may be able to reproduce this in your sketch.

Or try to do something in the shabby chic style and scrapbooking with your own hands - it’s not as difficult as it seems, the entire main volume effect is created by layering elements. By the way, flat cards are also good. :)

Postcard for a man step by step

We have collected the necessary materials and are starting to work on creating our postcard.

It is better to make a postcard from thick cardboard. Let's take either a blank for a postcard or measure the cardboard ourselves and cut it, remembering that it should be rectangular in shape.

Using a ruler, measure the middle of the front side of the card, and mark a strip on the back side with a pencil. The depth of the strip is 3 centimeters, but remember that the sizes are individual and it all depends on the size of your postcard.

Now, using scissors, we make a cut, strictly along the line that you drew with a pencil. And turning the paper right side out, diagonally, we form the collar of our shirt.

What's a shirt without a tie? Let's take a pre-printed tie template and use it to create a tie. For this we need either thick colored paper or writing paper. Trace with a pencil and cut out with scissors.

Then we try on the tie with the shirt; if it is too big, we trim it a little. And then glue it with dry glue.

If desired, you can decorate the shirt collar with rhinestones or small buttons. We simply fix them with glue to the collar of the shirt.

Important condition– your images should be small so that they can fit on cardboard. It is not necessary to try to cut out your images without a background, because without it they may not look harmonious.

Before pasting a photo over the cover, you need to write in the middle something like the sentence “Happy day, my love!”, and then place the photo around the inscription. Next, we write some congratulatory text on the first page. On the second page we attach a photo with your image cut out in the shape of a heart.

If you feel like there are too many spaces left, you can fill them in with hearts different colors from colored paper. And now, the gift for your wedding anniversary or relationship is ready!

Making envelopes is simple - take a small rectangular piece of paper, put it in a vertical position and make three folds, dividing it into three equal parts. We bend the lower part inward and glue it on the sides to the middle one. We bend the upper part down and use scissors to make a triangle so that the fold line is the base. Attach the resulting envelope.

You need to put hearts in the envelopes to represent certificates. On the first page we write a congratulation, and on the second we indicate the purpose of the certificates by numbers. For example, certificate No. 1 is a kiss, certificate No. 2 is cooking a delicious preferred dish.

We fold the same corners in half inward. Try to make the correct fold right away; several folds in one place will not add beauty to the card.

Continue folding along the resulting fold line. top part paper down. The resulting triangles along the edges will be the sleeves of the future shirt.

We turn the paper over to the other side with the “sleeves” down and fold down a strip from the top along the width of the taken ribbon.

We turn the paper over to the other side and make a collar, bending the upper corners towards the middle.

Unfold the resulting collar, insert a ribbon at the fold and fold it back. Straighten and align the ribbon.

We fold the bottom of the paper upward, under the collar and tie a tie.

We use wire to make a hanger shape. To do this, bend the wire into a triangle with the end sticking out from above. We bend the hook at the end and twist the remaining edge at the base of the hook. Align all the parts so that the hanger looks neat.

We cut out several ties from paper. Of course, it will be more interesting if they are of different colors and textures.

We bend the ties, place them on a hanger and glue them together.
