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 on English language, but you can just write “Happy New Year!” or “Merry Christmas!”).
New Year's Eve is the best few weeks of the whole year! And the pleasant pre-New Year bustle - choosing gifts, preparing the menu and festive program, etc. – gives simply unforgettable impressions that you “live” for a long time.

Postcard “Winter outside”
To create a postcard you will need:
- bright cardboard;
- white cardboard;
- thick paper with a pattern;
- scissors;
- glue;
- cotton buds;
- glitter, silver and green paint;
- figured hole punch;
- stationery knife;
- a suitable picture (instead, you can cut out a word or phrase from cardboard if desired);
- thread, needle.
Step 1. Colorful cardboard should be shaped into a square, and a slightly smaller square should be cut out of paper with a pattern (preferably matching the theme of the house, but you can just use brown or green paper). Double stitch or hand sew the paper to the cardboard. Lightly “age” the edges of the paper by moving it away from the cardboard and rubbing the free edges with your fingers.
Step 2. Using scissors and a utility knife, cut out a window with opening transoms. You should glue the window in the center of the future postcard, and place a picture of a suitable size and theme under the window.
Step 3. Cut out grape leaves from cardboard and glue them in random order around the perimeter of the window.
Step 4. You need to cut off cotton rounds from cotton swabs and, gluing them one to one, create a semblance of a bunch of grapes.
Step 5. All that remains is to lightly tint the leaves with green paint, sprinkle the card with glitter and decorate it with silver paint.
New Year card with mittens
To create a card with mittens you will need:
- cardboard;
- knitted white braid (lace braid);
- narrow white lace;
- a small strip of paper with a wish;
- stationery knife;
- glue;
- scissors;
- beads, pompoms, braid, etc. For decoration.
Step 1. A rectangular sheet of cardboard should be folded in half and the front and inside sides of the future postcard should be glued or stitched onto it - multi-colored squares of scrapbooking paper. So, as a New Year's theme, red and green colors are best.
Step 2. Cut out two mittens from thick paper or cardboard in a contrasting color and glue them in the center of the front of the card. You can glue a ribbon with small pom-poms to the base of the mittens. Take a thin lace, tie it in the center with a bow, and glue the free ends to the base of the mittens.
Step 3. At the bottom of the card, glue a ribbon and a strip of paper with a congratulation. You can artificially age the parchment by passing the paper over a candle (it's best to lightly scorch the edges).
Step 4. All that remains is to decorate your card and a wonderful present for the New Year is ready!
New Year card with Christmas tree
To create an original postcard you will need:
- rectangular cardboard for postcards;
- cardboard for a triangular Christmas tree;
- scrapbooking paper of different colors;
- lace braid;
- multi-colored knitting threads;
- bright colored ribbon;
- glue;
- scissors;
- a narrow strip with a printed wish for a Happy New Year;
- figured hole punch for cutting out snowflakes;
- beads for decoration.
Step 1. To begin, fold a rectangular piece of cardboard in half to create a card blank. Glue scrapbooking paper to the front side the entire length and width of the front of the card. If you do not glue the paper, but stitch it on a typewriter, it will turn out more beautiful and original.
Step 2. In the very center of the front side of the card you need to glue a rectangular or square sheet of paper of a different color, suitable in size to the Christmas tree blank. It is better to choose a New Year's theme in the color of the paper.
Step 3. It's time to make a colorful, bright Christmas tree. To do this, take threads of different colors and different thicknesses and wrap them around a triangular cardboard blank, periodically coating it with glue. The threads should densely envelop the triangle so that there are no empty spaces left. Glue the Christmas tree in the center of the card.
Step 4. Now we can decorate our card. The Christmas tree can be “dressed up” with shiny beads, and a small gold star can be “placed” on the top of the head. Using a shaped hole punch, make white snowflakes and glue them randomly. At the base of the Christmas tree, across the entire width of the front side of the card, glue a ribbon with a bow pre-tied on it. A lace braid will look good at the bottom of the ribbon. Don't forget to include a New Year's wish on the card.
Below you will find many ideas for creating a truly heartfelt gift for the New Year, which you would not be ashamed to give to a friend, significant other, or relatives.

There are several general rules, thanks to which even beginners in creativity can make New Year’s cards with their own hands:
- The "draft" rule. Creative ideas must first be streamlined; for this you can make a draft version of the product, trying, experimenting, imagining and laying out the decor.
- Rule of "composition". When implementing your creative idea, you first need to create a concept for the future decorative composition. For beginners, the help of a sketch for scrapbooking is invaluable; it is the templates and sketches that will help harmoniously arrange all the elements of the composition.
The composition should have a semantic center in the form of a title decoration. The style, color scheme and pattern in the composition are always harmoniously combined.
A New Year's card will be an excellent gift if you make it yourself
- The "inspiration" rule. Any creative process occurs on a whim. A real salvation for beginners in art are sketches for postcards - ready-made templates from which you can endlessly draw inspiration when creating your own masterpiece.

We take threads of different colors, textures and thicknesses and alternately, in a chaotic manner, wind them onto the workpiece. We make sure that there are no voids left.
- Glue the finished thread Christmas tree in the center of the front side of the card. We decorate the top with multi-colored balls-beads, sparkling rhinestones, and you can place a sequin star on the top of the head.
- Below the tree we glue a satin ribbon, lace or elegant braid, and on top we attach the congratulatory inscriptions “Happy New Year!”, “Happy New Year” or the original Spanish “Feliz Navidad”.
- Around the Christmas tree to recreate winter's tale, glue snowflakes. You can use ready-made die cuts, but it’s cheaper to make them yourself using a shaped hole punch.
