Small cards

The most favorite first spring holiday of all women is March 8th. After tiring, long and frosty winter evenings, it’s as if we are moving into a spring fairy tale, filled with green blossoms, bright inflorescences of trees and bushes, and most importantly, the spring and bright holiday of March 8th. On this holiday, not only men congratulate their women, but also women themselves give each other present. Men naturally buy beautiful and bright bouquets of flowers, all sorts of gifts to suit their taste and the taste of the woman they love, but women give each other some pleasant little things, the most important thing is that they are from the heart and do not deprive anyone of their attention. Well, even think for a minute what it could be, to at least minimally congratulate all your girlfriends, sisters and everyone your soul desires, so that there is also a long memory. The most optimal gift, and even with congratulations, is, of course, a postcard. If you plan to congratulate many people, then these can be small, one might even say mini-cards, which you can also make with your own hands, which will be doubly pleasant and will be remembered for many years.It is precisely this master class that will teach us how to make such small souvenir cards, and will help us in this scrapbooking.

To do this we will need to take:
• Bright colors of thick cardboard: red, blue, yellow, orange and red;
• Paper for scrapbooking in the same color scheme;
• Pictures of cute animals with flowers: bears, bunnies, etc.;
• Watercolor paper;
• Narrow grosgrain ribbons in pink, beige, green and purple;
• Paper hydrangea flowers;
• Polymer roses, daisies;
• Cut out flowers;
• Acrylic stamp “Happy March 8”;
• Dark pink ink;
• Semi-pearls in pastel colors;
• Figured acrylic stamps; bear with flowers, flowers, corners;
• Pink and white stamens, simple pearlescent and in sugar;
• Curb hole punch;
• Glue gun;
• Scissors, ruler, pencil;
• Double-sided tape;
• Sewing machine.

First of all, we need to prepare the bases of the postcards from cardboard. Take cardboard and cut out five rectangles 10.5*13 cm.

We divide each one in half, draw bending lines and get a base of 6.5 * 10.5 cm.

Now, for each piece, we cut out two 6*10 cm rectangles from scrap paper to match the base. Accordingly, we try on the basics.

From watercolor paper and leftover scrap paper, we make rectangles for the inner inscription of the postcard, we also get five 6*10 cm rectangles. We decorate some of the outer rectangles of the postcard with openwork stripes.

We cut out the pictures rounded and tint the edges with an ink pad. We cut out 8 cm strips from grosgrain ribbons. We stamp the inscription “March 8” on watercolor paper.

We cut out 5 inscriptions and also tint the edges. We glue pictures, tapes and inscriptions with double-sided tape to each rectangle. We sew the whole thing on the machine decor.
