Men's cards

Women very often face this problem: how to congratulate their man on his birthday, February 23, or on his professional holiday. It’s not even a matter of the event, but rather what special thing you can give him. Well, imagine for a moment that this is a man you barely know: a colleague, director or distant relative. How can you surprise him if you don’t know him well? Agree, this is quite difficult and for this you need to think and try very carefully. It’s another matter if this man is a husband, brother, son, and then it’s quite difficult to guess what exactly it is preferable to get in present right now, so that it is pleasant, useful, and original. A gift is a gift, but what kind of holiday is it if you don’t leave warm, sincere words with congratulations after it. And you can write such words in a greeting card, which will preserve the memory of you and your attitude towards this person. Buying a ready-made card won’t pose any particular problems, but it’s better to make it by hand, it will add intrigue and some mystery to the holiday. Right now we’ll look at a couple of options for making small men’s cards using the technique scrapbooking. Beautiful paper, several color pictures and some other scrap materials allow you to create such wonderful cards that will surprise and delight any man.

To make men's cards you need to take:
• Brown and gray cardboard;
• Scrappaper with masculine motifs in brown and gray tones;
• Pictures and cuttings of various shapes with men's accessories;
• Epoxy stickers;
• Stampings “Congratulations” and “Happy Birthday”;
• Brown lace;
• Brown and white checkered ribbon;
• Beige rep ribbon 5 mm wide;
• Wooden buttons;
• Metal pendants;
• Suede lace;
• Brown pearl half beads;
• Gray and beige feather from cutting;
• Creasing cord;
• Watercolor paper;
• Gold pad with tinting ink;
• Ruler, double-sided tape, pencil, glue gun, scissors.

Our cards will be very small, and first of all we will cut out the bases from cardboard. First, we cut out two rectangles 12.5 * 17 cm, then we divide them in half, bend them and fold them, we get the bases 8.5 * 12.5 cm.

From watercolor paper we cut out 8.2*12.2 cm rectangles for the internal inscription. We glue them to the inside of the postcard with double-sided tape.

From scrap paper we cut out two rectangles for each card, 8.2*12.2 cm. We glue one on the back of the cards.

We begin to decorate the front parts. We cut off the ribbons, laces, glue them onto scrap paper, glue inscriptions and pictures of watches at the bottom, and sew all the elements with a machine. Then we glue one more picture at a time and also sew them on.
