New Year cards scrapbooking. Scrapbook - additional materials for printing for scrapbooking

How often do we experience a genuine interest in something, but we just can’t master it because we don’t find free time or a reason or incentive to start taking action!

If this concerns creativity, then special events and holidays can be a good reason for it. The desire to please your loved ones will help you find a moment to get to work.

For example, you have long dreamed of mastering the scrapbooking technique. , Mom’s birthday, March 8th, is a wonderful opportunity to try your hand at this! Let your first step be a Happy New Year card. Scrapbooking is ideal for making unusual, designer cards.

To make an interesting postcard using the scrapbooking technique for the New Year with your own hands, prepare in advance:

• a white thick paper sheet (or a sheet of white cardboard);
• decorative paper, felt, plastic or flat wooden figures appropriate to the occasion: snowflakes, Christmas trees, deer, toy balls - everything that is usually used to create a New Year's atmosphere;
• old New Year cards;
• pieces of lace, satin ribbons;
• a sheet of paper with an unusual print;
• the text of the New Year's song, printed on a separate piece of paper (preferably on music paper).

The basis of the product will be a white sheet folded in half. Inside you will place a congratulation, a small surprise, or just a New Year's photo of all members of your family, which will delight grandparents and other relatives.

Decorate the “title” page of the postcard with paper with an unusual print. We took a leaf of a green shade - the color of Christmas tree needles.

Making a “title page”

We draw up the first sheet with what was prepared in advance. We place the text of the New Year's song in the center and emphasize it with lace. We put an openwork snowflake on the bottom. It turns out to be an interesting composition.

We continue to complement this composition with various figures. In our case, this is another piece of lace, a sprig of dried flowers, small snowflakes and a feather. We paste another sheet of paper on top of the text with the song - as if it were someone’s letter or postcard.

We glue another “postcard” on top. We chose a card that features Christmas bells.

We form a beautiful lush bow from satin ribbons.

And we complement our composition with it.

Below we place a congratulatory inscription (we made it in English, but you can simply write “Happy New Year!” or “Merry Christmas!”).

Close people expect signs of attention from us in the New Year. A New Year's card will help us congratulate them on the holiday. Scrapbooking is a type of handicraft and creativity. This type of needlework is needed to create albums, covers, postcards, photo frames, all kinds of notebooks, calendars and so on. There are different types of albums: accordion albums, house albums, box albums. Various templates, blanks, and special paper are used for decoration.

The paper can be decorated with glitter and velvet details. For scrapbooking, it is better to use sets of three-dimensional elements (eyelets, rhinestones, pearls, letters, frames). For decoration you may need decorative elements such as anchors, brads, eyelets.

For the postcard you will need:

1. Paper.
2. Lace napkin.
3. New Year's picture.
4. Beads.
5. Ribbon.
6. Scissors.
7. Stationery glue.
8. Glitter.
9. Beads.

First, let's prepare a napkin. You can buy it, or you can make it yourself using scissors or a hole punch.

We need the flower to be larger than the napkin, it should protrude. Take a paper length of 55-58 cm. Glue the middle of our flower. Apply glue to the middle and hold for a while until the glue dries.

Cut out our New Year's picture. It should be smaller than a napkin. It is better to decorate the picture. You can glue pieces of padding polyester to give it volume. If you glue snowflakes made of glitter or white beads, the card will become even more elegant.

We glue a snowflake on the back for poems and congratulations.

More details. Branches made of beads and wire. Dip the tip of the wire into glue and then into small beads.

Snowflake made of cardboard. Apply glue to the snowflake with a brush and glue the beads.

New Year's cards scrapbooking is a new version of needlework. The word translated means “clipping book.” And initially it was an ordinary application of pictures and photographs. But today, people began to make New Year’s cards with their own hands (scrapbooking) not only from clippings or photographs. The technique of this needlework has become much broader than originally intended.

Postcards as a collage of photographs

The simplest and most interesting option for making scrapbooking New Year's cards today is to use photographs in them. Beautifully arranged with the simultaneous use of other pictures, drawings and inscriptions, unique photos bring a lot of joy to the recipients.

In some cases, the master uses his imagination so successfully that New Year’s cards in the scrapbooking style become a kind of fairy-tale plot. For example, you can take a snowy forest as a background and place a house in it. By making cuts in the shutters along the lines of the shutters, you can achieve the effect of opening them. And in the hole formed, a paper “patch” should be glued from the inside, on which a photograph of either the recipient or the donor will be attached.

Decorations for cards

Today, various fabric parts are widely used to make such cards: bows, ribbons, stitching, lace, satin pieces of fabric, artificial flowers, rhinestones, eyelets, buttons, small New Year tree decorations, beautifully woven twine. New Year's scrapbooking cards made using these materials look three-dimensional, which is why they are valued higher. But any handicraft created with your own hands will always be dear to the recipient, as it retains the warmth of the hands of its creator.

Postcard making styles

Master class “New Year card scrapbooking”

To make a beautiful card, you need to prepare the following materials: cardboard for appliqué, colored paper, glue, pieces of fabric for a bow, a beautiful button, scissors. For the postcard itself, you will need embossed cardboard, for example, the cover of an old photo album. Although you can use the usual one.

1. First you need to make a decoration - bells. They are cut out and decorated with applique in the form of an ornament.
2. You also need to prepare the “leaves” for the cluster of bells.
3. A bow is sewn onto the bottom of the card using a typewriter and decorated with a button or brooch.

Volumetric applique is a great option for scrapbooking!

Many people love to make applique on both fabric and paper. You can use this skill very successfully when working with scrapbooking techniques. An applique of pasta using cotton wool, cereals and other materials will make the card unusual and unique. Creativity in this type of creativity is a very good form. Therefore, the most unexpected objects are usually used: beads, shells, beautiful pebbles, small toys.

It is possible to apply beautiful inscriptions to the postcard either using paints and pencils, or by cutting out letters from colored paper and then gluing them on. Often such cards are decorated with spruce branches. You can even make it out of paper, and sprinkle the “needles” with “frost,” that is, dip them in water and then in semolina.

Scrapbooking is a recently extremely popular technique for decorating cards, family albums and panels, allowing you to create absolutely amazing gift compositions. We invite you not only to get acquainted with the basic principles of scrapbooking, but also to please your friends and loved ones with original multi-layer New Year cards.

The beauty of the scrapbooking technique is not only maximum creative freedom, but also the ability to use completely different materials from those that you will like in a craft store or find yourself at home. Therefore, most of the decor options we offer are advisory in nature, and you can easily replace them with those that happen to be available to you. Magazine clippings, stickers, yellowed pages of old notebooks or fancy wrapping paper - absolutely anything can be used.

Materials and tools for creating a New Year's card using scrapbooking technique:

• thick paper for the base (minimum: 35×30 cm)
• colored paper, old books or sheet music, or special paper for scrapbooking
• aging effect mascara or brown pastel
• beads, ribbons, buttons, stickers for decoration
• volumetric adhesive pads
• scissors, pencil, glue

How to make a New Year's card with your own hands

Using the postcard design or style and color palette we offer, you can experiment with the decor yourself. To begin with, you should roughly imagine the theme and color scheme of your future work and, based on this, select materials that will be useful to you. It is possible that during the creative process all this will undergo significant changes.

To begin, cut out the base for the card from thick paper and fold it in half. In our case, the dimensions were as follows: 32x28 cm. The outer corners of the postcard can be made rounded.

After this, we decide on the main compositional elements. In our case, it will be a round background in the center of the card, 3 schematic Christmas trees and a stylized ribbon. You can modify this diagram as you wish or use our template.

It is better to choose neutral colored paper for the background, and make the Christmas trees and ribbon more contrasting. If you want to give your postcard a vintage look, but you don’t have any old notes or notes on hand, you can artificially age any sheet of paper. To do this, just briefly place it in a container with tea, and then dry it under pressure. Obviously, the stronger the tea leaves, the darker the result.

To tint the edges of the application, you can use a pad with special ink that gives an aging effect. Such ink can easily be found in any craft and scrapbooking store.

Using a foam sponge, ink is applied to the edges and background of the paper parts using a tapping motion.

Advice: If you don’t have special ink on hand, you can use an alternative way to age the paper. To do this, just take a pastel chalk or a soft brown pencil, grind off the lead with a stationery knife and gently rub the resulting fine crumbs over the surface with a napkin or finger.

We begin to select small decor for the main elements of the postcard. These can be magazine clippings, stickers, ready-made cardboard blanks, bows, ribbons, buttons, beads and inscriptions. This process is purely creative, so there is little chance of getting two identical cards using one template. As you can see from the photo, initially it was planned to decorate the postcard with traditional green and red elements, but then a more harmonious, in our opinion, option was found.

What other decorative techniques are often used in scrapbooking? In addition to tinting and artificial aging, this technique widely uses a variety of stamps and seals. You can purchase factory blanks, or type the inscription using separate stamp letters.

Options for seals and ink pads for stamps

Using alphabet stamps you can type any desired inscription. Of course, you can write a card by hand, however, if you are not confident in your handwriting, we do not recommend you experiment. At the very least, it's best to practice writing on a rough draft first.

The order in which the card is framed and glued is of great importance in scrapbooking. We tint the edges, draw and write on the parts while they are not yet fastened together. Then we lay them out on the base, and if everything is satisfactory, we begin gluing them.

The beauty of postcards using the scrapbooking technique is their volume. To ensure that the elements of the composition effectively protrude above the plane of the paper, special adhesive pads are used. If you don’t have them at hand, felt stickers on furniture legs can play a similar role (they are used to prevent the furniture from scratching the floor).

Small scrapbooking pads, felt pads for furniture, thin double-sided tape and various types of glue are all useful for making cards.

First, we glue Christmas trees, ribbon and other decor to the round base using overlays.

We attach the finished composition with large overlays to the cover of the postcard. We glue small parts (snowflake, flags, etc.) with glue, since only the main parts should protrude from the plane.

Advice: a very interesting effect can be achieved not only with the help of volumetric overlays, but also through the use of a sewing machine. Several sheets of paper can be easily stitched together, which will also look very interesting.

A card made entirely of paper may look a little boring, so feel free to use braid, ribbons and other textiles, and also complement it with crazy beads as unique Christmas tree decorations. It is better to glue fabric and plastic with a hot glue gun or transparent, reliable glue like “Moment-Crystal”.

The inscription and small designs, such as stars, can be drawn by hand or using ready-made stamps. After that all that remains is to write the postcard to the addressee!
