In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editors website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make something for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.

Below we have collected ideas for beautiful, original and, most importantly, “quick” New Year’s cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around the house.

Volumetric Christmas trees

Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.

Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows you how to cut them.

Penguin

We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardstock (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes, which we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).

Gifts

This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces of wrapping paper that you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we recommend taking a look at this blog.

Santa Claus

A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper pasted onto a card or gift bag. The fur of the hat and the beard are obtained like this: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

Simple drawings

An irresistible idea in its elegance is to draw Christmas balls with patterns with a black gel pen. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else won't be difficult - stripes and squiggles that you draw when you're bored.

The same principle that underlies the postcard with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very cute.

Many, many different Christmas trees

This is where patterned paper or cardboard left over from children's crafts or wrapping paper for gifts will come in handy. The Christmas trees are sewn in the center - this is not at all necessary, you can glue them on. But if you really want to, you first need to make holes with a thick needle along a ruler, and then sew with thread in 2 rows - up and down, so that there are no gaps left. Draw a snowball with white gouache.

A laconic and stylish idea is a grove of Christmas trees, one of which is glued to foam double-sided tape (and therefore rises above the rest) and decorated with a star.

This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do this well) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Using sharp scissors, cut out the snowy landscape and moon and paste it onto a black or dark blue background.

Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.

Hugging snowman

Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with your finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second You will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.

You will want to keep this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balloons

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbon. But balls are such a win-win option that you can allow yourself to fantasize: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And you can simply draw the strings.

Another option is to stick paper with a pattern on the inside of the card, and cut out circles on the outside with a sharp stationery knife.

Volumetric balls

For each of these balls you will need 3-4 identical circles of different colors. Fold each one in half and glue the halves to each other, and the two outer halves to the paper. Another option is colored stars or Christmas trees.

Multi-colored balls

Wonderful translucent balls are obtained using a regular eraser on a pencil. It’s worth starting with a pencil to outline the outline of the ball. Then dip the eraser into the paint and leave marks on the paper. Fun and beautiful.

Cards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also evoke subtle associations with childhood.

The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but the rest is up to you - to “hang” them on the Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls, or on newspaper clouds.

1. DIY New Year cards (“Christmas tree”)

The New Year tree is an indispensable attribute of the holiday. Therefore, postcards with her image will be especially appropriate. Plus, these cards can be very easy to make.

The New Year's tree applique can be made from plain or multi-colored strips of paper. Even a small child can make this New Year's craft with his own hands.

Strips of paper can be replaced with colored tape or braid. They also make very beautiful New Year's cards.

A more complicated option is a New Year's card "Christmas tree" made from paper tubes. This original three-dimensional New Year's card "Christmas tree" is made of paper tubes. The Christmas tree is decorated with multi-colored buttons. Its trunk is made from a twig. To make this New Year's card, it is advisable to use special scrapbooking paper or corrugated cardboard.

It’s very easy to make a Christmas tree applique using store-bought stickers. Even a two-year-old can do this craft for the New Year with his own hands.

Simple and effective - homemade New Year's cards "Christmas tree" from ordinary buttons.

You can also embroider a Christmas tree with threads. Only in this case, the New Year's card should be made of high-density paper or cardboard. The holes must first be carefully made with an awl. For the simplest version of a Christmas tree, see the photo below.

For a more complex version of a New Year's card with a Christmas tree made of threads, see here >>>> To make this New Year's craft with your own hands, you will also need sequins or beads.

By the way, you can embroider not only a Christmas tree with threads, but also something else, New Year’s. For example, this cute deer.

You can make an original DIY New Year's card from a fern leaf or any other plant similar to it. For example, cypress branches. Just take the top of the leaf and glue it onto the card. This will be a Christmas tree. All you have to do is decorate it with sequins or confetti made using a hole punch from colored paper. Instead of confetti, you can glue multi-colored pieces of plasticine to the Christmas tree. Even a child can do this part of the work of making a homemade New Year’s card.

You can make a New Year's card either from a whole leaf of fern, or just from its upper part.

The technique for making three-dimensional Christmas trees is similar to the method for making New Year's balls. See the link >>>> But you don’t have to glue them together completely, instead glue the Christmas trees onto the card.

Option 3.

Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year's card. To make such a voluminous card with a Christmas tree for the New Year, you will need three square sheets of green paper: large, medium and small. Also, in order to make a Christmas tree trunk, you will need a rectangular sheet of brown paper.

Fold each square piece of paper in half first (horizontally and vertically) to mark the center lines. Then fold them two more times diagonally. After this, fold each sheet into a pyramid (see photos 3 and 4). Glue a Christmas tree from the resulting pyramids by inserting them into each other. How to make a trunk for a Christmas tree is shown in photos (8, 9 and 10). Finally, glue the Christmas tree to your New Year's card.

Option 4.

Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for the New Year. Making this voluminous paper card is much easier than it might seem at first glance. First you will need to cut out 5 halves of circles of different sizes from green paper: large, smaller, even smaller, etc. Fold each half of the circle in half, then in half again, and in half again. Unfold each piece and form accordion folds (see photo).

Now insert one piece into another and glue them together along the three central folds.

For the trunk, cut out a rectangle from brown paper and also fold it like an accordion.

Glue your paper Christmas tree onto the card base. The easiest way to make snowflakes is from white paper using a hole punch or drawing with a cotton swab.

Option 5.

A very beautiful DIY New Year's craft, accessible in complexity to a preschooler - a voluminous New Year's card "Christmas tree". The Christmas tree is made of rectangular strips of paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the tiers of the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: the ones at the bottom are the widest, the closer to the top the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The bottom strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large "step". The higher you go to the top, the shallower the bend depth.

Here are two more voluminous cards with a New Year tree made from a triangular-shaped sheet of paper folded like an accordion. Simple and tasteful!

Option 6.

Another voluminous New Year's card. Again, this New Year's craft for children is attractive not only in appearance, but also in its ease of manufacture.

To make such a New Year's card with your own hands, print out the templates (template-1 and template-2) on two sheets of cardboard or thick paper and use the detailed instructions from the photographs below. It is better if the sheets of cardboard are of different colors.

Finally, decorate the Christmas tree to your liking. The voluminous New Year's card is ready!

Option 7.

Origami Christmas tree. We invite you to make a three-dimensional New Year's card decorated with a Christmas tree made of paper made using the origami technique. To make the card look more elegant and festive, choose more beautiful paper for your New Year tree. Special paper for scrapbooking is well suited for this DIY New Year's craft. By the way, making such an origami Christmas tree is much easier than it seems at first glance. For one origami Christmas tree you will need 4-5 square sheets of paper of different sizes.

Option 8.

There is an easier way to make a Christmas tree using the origami technique. Detailed instructions in the photo below.

Option 9.

You can make a voluminous New Year's card with your own hands from corrugated paper.

Option 10.

The elements of the New Year's card in the photo below are made using the quilling technique.

3. DIY New Year cards (“New Year’s balls”)

Do-it-yourself New Year's cards with images of New Year's balls look good. The New Year's applique "Christmas balls" can be made from bright paper and decorated with ribbons.

Beautiful New Year's balls are made from colored strips of paper. Cut an unnecessary glossy magazine (advertising brochure) into thin strips and stick them on a white sheet of paper. After this, cut out circles of different sizes from the resulting striped paper. Decorate your New Year's card with them.

New Year's balls can be made not only from paper, but also from buttons.

Instead of buttons, you can use purchased decorative rhinestones.

The website www.hgtv.com offers to make original three-dimensional New Year cards with images of Christmas tree balls.

To make such a New Year's card with your own hands, print the following template. See link >>>> Draw a circle on each square using a compass or an object with a round bottom of a suitable size. Cut out all the circles, then use the following instructions to make Christmas balls. See link >>>> But you don't need to completely glue the balloon, stick it onto the card instead.

Another New Year's decoration - a garland of flags - will look impressive on a New Year's card. Flags can be made from paper or fabric and then glued or sewn onto the card.

Even very young children can make their own New Year's card with the image of a multi-colored garland of fingerprints.

And from a handprint you can make a New Year's card with Santa Claus or funny snowmen.

1. On any surface that does not absorb paint (for example, a regular sheet pan), make a rectangular frame (the size of your card) from tape or tape.

2. Apply paint to the surface in an even layer. Use a cotton swab to draw a picture on a New Year's theme.

3. Attach a piece of paper. Your DIY New Year's card is ready!

4. Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year’s card “Snowman”

Separately, I would like to talk about this original, voluminous postcard for the New Year. Making such a paper snowman is very simple. Even a preschooler can cope with the task. You need to cut out three circles of different sizes from thick white paper. It is advisable to shade the edges of the circles so that they stand out better against each other. This can be done using crushed pencil lead or eye shadow. Also cut out a scarf, pens, a carrot nose, eyes and buttons from colored paper. Glue all the parts of the snowman sequentially onto the blank of your New Year's card.

Here is the original card made by a scrapbooking artist.

9. Original do-it-yourself New Year cards. DIY New Year's Eve

We would like to introduce you to another interesting technique for making New Year’s cards with your own hands. The Christmas tree and New Year's ball in the photo below are made using this technique.

To make a Christmas tree card, you will need:

Red cardboard sheet
- a sheet of colored origami paper (on one side - dark green,
on the other side - light green)
- scissors or a special knife for cutting paper
- glue

Print a stencil on a piece of green origami paper. Make cuts along the lines on it. Where the trunk of the Christmas tree is located, cut out a piece of paper completely. If you fold a sheet of paper in half before making cuts, you can cut it with scissors. In this case, even a preschooler will be able to make a postcard. If you want to avoid a fold in the center of the card, then it is better to make cuts with a special knife for cutting paper. Now all you have to do is fold the corners back and stick your workpiece onto the cardboard.

The "New Year's Ball" card is made in the same way. The stencil for making this original New Year's card can be downloaded from the link >>>>

The snowflakes from the section were made using the same technique. They can also decorate a New Year's card.

And another do-it-yourself New Year’s card “Christmas tree”, made using this technique.

To make this New Year's card, print the template onto a piece of white cardstock. Glue a thin sheet of green paper on the back side. Using a paper cutter, cut out the corners and fold them over. Now cut out and fold your New Year's card in half. If you want to write New Year's greetings inside, then glue an additional sheet of green paper so that the letters do not show through the holes. For a detailed New Year's master class on making this card, see.

Another idea for a New Year's card that you can make with your child yourself. For a detailed master class, see the photo below.

DIY New Year's card ideas. When making New Year's cards with your own hands, it is appropriate to use colored self-adhesive foil. It can be purchased at craft supply stores.

The last card with which we would like to complete our review of DIY New Year cards is the voluminous “Snow Globe” postcard. In the photo below it is shown on the left side. This Christmas card is made using a clear dairy lid. You will find a master class on how to make such original three-dimensional postcards on Veronica Podgornaya’s website.

These two postcards were made by the author of the blog Naftusina's hand-made art. A snowdrift and a cloud are cut out of felt. Christmas tree and bear - figured buttons. There are white beads sprinkled inside the card. The postcard looks incredible! You shake it and it snows! On this site you will find two more interesting DIY New Year cards. Santa Claus and the Snowman are hurrying through the snowy snowdrifts. The snowdrifts and cloud are cut out of felt, the characters are made of buttons and felt, the tree is a real twig, which is slightly pasted over with pieces of padding polyester, snowflakes are drawn with a helium pen.

Any greeting card can be decorated with any New Year’s decor, such as a Christmas tree or, as well as various winter characters, such as Snowman, Snow Maiden, etc. You also need to write any suitable one on the back or stick it. Don’t forget about what you need to do for the New Year, as well as decorate your apartment with decorations.

Create a festive atmosphere and give it to your friends and family. All you need for this is a good mood and a little patience and inspiration. You will get ideas in this article, especially since many postcards will be shown with master classes, so don’t worry, you will get wonderful souvenirs.

By the way, such works can be brought to an exhibition or competition and take a prize. So, create for your health and in large quantities. Well, let's get to work. Let's go, friends! Hang in there, the selection will be hot).

By the way, if you have your own ideas on this topic, be sure to write your thoughts below under this note. I’ll be happy to read it and maybe in future issues I’ll create something like this and post it on the blog.

So, let's get started and I want to immediately introduce you to a new masterpiece that amazed me from the first minute. I never thought that such a magnificent card could be easily and quickly made by yourself. Many thanks to the author, it turns out very cute and, moreover, you can decorate it differently each time, the main thing is to use a winter theme. You'll soon figure it out as you go along.

You can do this kind of work together with a child of any age category, make a blank or whatever you call it the base, and let your child paint all the characters and objects and then glue them on. So let's get down to business.

We will need:

• A4 paper or landscape sheet
• scrap paper, you can use colored paper
• glue stick
• colored markers or pencils
• scissors
• ruler

Stages:

1. Take a white sheet of paper and make marks on the right side with a ruler 2 cm from the edge. Draw a line as shown in the figure below. Then move the ruler to the left and make a mark of 11 cm.

2. So go through several places so that it is convenient after drawing the line.

3. This is how the markings turned out, don’t worry, soon everything will become clear what and why.

4. Use scissors to trim a 2cm edge.

5. And then cut along another long line so that you get two identical strips from one sheet.

6. Now divide one of the strips in half and bend it, then make another fold in half from the resulting half.

8. Where there were vertical lines, make a fold.

9. The result was nothing like an accordion.

10. Now let's formalize. From scrap paper, cut out geometric shapes slightly smaller than the main piece.

If you don’t have it in stock, you can use a regular colored one instead.

Or you can take options from the Internet, for example, take these and print them out.

11. Carefully glue the scrap paper sheets and remove excess glue with a napkin, if any.

12. Now the strip that you have already glued to the wide one, but this must be done in a special way.

13. So that the middle is not glued, this is where the fairy-tale characters will be located.

14. I suggest you draw them with a simple pencil, and then color them by hand.

15. You can also make the Christmas tree template yourself; bend a sheet of paper and draw the outline, and then cut it out.

16. Don't forget to color all the elements. If you are bad at drawing, or don’t want to do it, then you can print ready-made templates.

Take them from here, or find them yourself on the Internet. Make a printout and give it to the kids to color, they will be happy with this task.

Idea! Moreover, it can be Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, whatever you want.

17. Now we make a couple more blanks from scrap paper.

18. Fold them in such a way that vertical lines are shown.

19. And then we apply it to the main product and glue it.

20. We got these stands for gluing Christmas trees.

21. Place each tree and carefully glue it with glue.

22. Glue the snowman on the very main page, where you see gifts, you can write a congratulation or

Now I want to teach you how to make an easier souvenir in the form of a house. You need to fold the leaf in half and cut out four squares or rectangles to make a window.

Now open the blank and glue a sheet of colored or office paper on the inside, cut the edges with decorative scissors.

Take thicker paper, you can take cardboard, but not too thick, cut out a suitable triangle from it. This will be the symbol of the Christmas tree. Then wrap it with thread and secure the ends with glue.

All that remains is to build a surprise for the forest beauty, also make this masterpiece out of paper, you can use ribbons for the bow.

And what ended up happening is incredibly cute and cool, and most importantly, the kids are delighted. How do you like this idea?

Also cover the outside of the window and draw decorations.

Now I propose to turn to the origami technique and make another craft in the form of a green Christmas tree made of paper and cardboard. To begin, cut out 6 geometric shapes in the form of squares from colored paper. Dimensions shown in the picture.

Fold a yellow sheet of cardboard in half, this will be the basis of the future postcard.

It is on this that you stick all the triangles, as if you were inserting each one into each other. Start from the top, that is, from the smallest triangle. And the final stage - glue the star and decorate it with rhinestones or sparkles. Good luck!

You can do something like this, you can also do it this way, the applique is a little more complicated, but the postcard turns out even more voluminous.

You can even take ordinary coloring books and easily make a greeting work out of them. This is a great option for little ones.

You may also want to use the following stencil for a card; you will need to cut out a Christmas tree along the outline, and give your child the task of decorating with rhinestones.

Here is an unusual version of working from circles:

I’m also giving you this sketch as a hint; it will also turn out to be a nice piece of work.

I took a photo of another product from the magazine, it might come in handy.

Look what came out based on everything stated above.

Another creation from an old newspaper.

But this little deer, and all the other characters, are smiling, and what about you?

Another unique and interesting craft, for which you will need two sheets, print a sample of the Christmas tree on one, and glue it to the other, making the necessary cuts.

Greeting cards in scrapbooking style

Recently, such works have become in great demand; such paper can be bought in any store or printed on your own printer. That is, find a suitable drawing on the Internet. At the beginning of the note, I already gave you some developments, here are some more:

Now, let's get to work.

We will need:

• colored cardboard or paper
• scrap paper
• felt-tip pens
• PVA glue

Stages:

First of all, cut out rectangles of different lengths from scrap paper; choose the size yourself.

Then twist each piece on a simple pencil or thick stick to form a tube. Glue it together.

Thus, you should have 12 tubes of different lengths. Which now have to be glued together, starting from the longest and moving to the shortest.

Can you guess what will happen? Of course, a Christmas tree, which you glue onto cardboard folded in half. Instead of an asterisk, use a button or something else that you can find from scrap materials. Even a bow will do.

How to make a 3D New Year's card

To answer this question, let’s look at the video, the author will clearly tell and show, and all we have to do is listen carefully and repeat. Moreover, since such a miracle, everyone will really like it. The filmmaker even calls the postcard 4D, and it’s true you’ve never seen anything like it. This is a great idea, take note quickly.

The next option is no less interesting, this is a postcard made from paper circles, and the result is a cool snowman.

We will need:

• paper
• cardboard
• scissors
• double sided tape
• Styrofoam

Fold the cardboard in half, but cut out three circles of different diameters from white paper. Draw blue stripes along the contour to make it look brighter and match the background of the workpiece.

The next step is to take a piece of polystyrene foam and glue double-sided tape on it, and then a circle on the workpiece.

This way, you will have a circle on a circle, as if you were assembling a pyramid.

Now decorate the snowman, glue a red nose in the shape of a carrot out of cardboard, draw eyes and a mouth with a marker.

Decorate to your taste, you can write Happy New Year or the like.

Here are a couple more ideas on this topic.

I was fascinated by this fluffy Christmas tree, which the author glued with double-sided tape and foam plastic for volume.

You can take ready-made templates or do the work yourself.

This concludes the note. I hope all the work deserves praise and you enjoy it. After all, the authors tried, and now we can admire them and take them as a basis for our own masterpieces. Make cards for the New Year and give them to your loved ones, teachers, educators and everyone you care about.

I wish everyone a wonderful mood and a fabulous day! Bye.

Best regards, Ekaterina

From time immemorial, there has been a very good tradition of exchanging gifts for any holidays. Whether it’s a birthday, International Women’s Day, New Year or some other special days, all people strive to surprise and delight each other by buying or making the most unusual and remarkable souvenirs with their own hands.

Holiday card “Snow Maiden” using cutting technique

This type of decorative and applied art is very popular with children of preschool and school age. By making such New Year's crafts, children get to know the world around them, all its beauties and aesthetic directions. In addition, this type of activity has a rather positive effect on their inner world. They become kinder, calmer, more diligent, and more sociable, because such a process is still a collective matter, since it will not be easy for one child to cope with his task at the initial stage. Therefore, parents, older brothers and sisters, or best friends come to the rescue. Having been patient and purchased multi-colored napkins, you need to start making your own postcards for the New Year 2020. But do not forget that your mood should be high, since the quality of the work you do depends on it.

• colored napkins or corrugated paper;
• colored cardboard;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• simple pencil and colored pencils;
• markers;
• ballpoint pen refill.

Progress:

1. Take our colorful napkins or corrugated paper and cut it into squares measuring 1 x 1 cm.
2. The next thing we need to do is draw an image of the Snow Maiden on a sheet of colored cardboard. If you are not particularly proficient in fine art techniques, then carbon paper will come to your aid.
3. In order for the Snow Maiden’s face to be shaded from the general background, it should also be transferred to white paper and subsequently cut out with scissors. Using PVA glue, attach the cut out image of the fairy-tale heroine to the face drawn earlier on colored cardboard. Make the eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and cheeks expressive using felt-tip pens or pencils.
4. Now we proceed to the actual trimming. For this work we need a pen core, PVA glue and squares cut from colored napkins or corrugated paper. Let's start with the Snow Maiden's hat. We apply a small amount of glue to the heroine’s headdress, and then take a paper square and press it tightly to the tapered end of the handle, twist it slightly so that the napkin wraps a little around the rod. Next, we attach our blank to the cap shown in the picture, press it a little so that it is properly secured, and immediately remove the handle. In this way we must process the entire headdress of the Snow Maiden. But the manufactured parts must be fastened close to each other to achieve the terry effect.
5. Having completed the design of the cap and its frill itself, we move on to the clothes. We decorate all the details in the picture with the multi-colored napkins you have chosen, without missing a single element. It is very important. Your New Year 2020 card should look rich, lively and colorful.
6. To complete our creativity, the general background of the craft can be supplemented with snowflakes, also performed using the technique of cutting from white napkin squares.
7. You have the right to decorate the finished work as you please. For this purpose, shiny glitter or some pearlescent sparkles are well suited, which can perfectly express snow flickering in the light of garlands, the Snow Maiden’s coat, or some individual patterns depicted on all clothes.

That's all, in general! If you really want, you can make other types of postcards with your own hands, made using the cutting technique. To do this, look through our photo ideas.

To better understand the trimming technique, we suggest you watch our training video.
