New Year card in scrapbooking style
Scrapbooking is an entire art that teaches you how to create and decorate photo albums (in our case, a postcard) with your own hands. Scrapbooking has a whole history of how a notebook turned into an album. At the end of the 17th century, notebooks with additional blank pages appeared. Their owners pasted in images, creating entire collections. This is how scrapbooking began to develop.
You will need: thick colored A4 cardboard, PVA glue or double-sided tape, scissors, scrap paper, pencil, decorative elements (sequins, beads, rain, buttons, sequins...).
Master Class
- Make 12 rectangles from scrap paper. The size of each rectangle should be different, starting from the smallest to the largest. (Width from 1 to 12 cm, length 5 cm for all rectangles).
- Roll each rectangle into a cylinder in the width direction, using a simple pencil to secure each cylinder with glue.
- Glue all the tubes together, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest, creating a Christmas tree shape.
- Make the base of the card by folding a piece of cardboard in half.
- Let the Christmas tree dry well, then glue it onto the right half of the card.
- Decorate the card to your taste with sparkles, sequins, buttons, rhinestones...
