Card for Mother's Day - we offer a wonderful master class on making a cute card to congratulate your mother on Mother's Day, which is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. You can also just please your mother with this card.

Materials and tools:

1. white and colored cardboard or thick paper;
2. scissors;
3. pencil or printer;
4. PVA glue or double-sided tape (thick).

Step 1

Download the bird detail template for the postcard. Next, print the template on thick paper (or transfer it with a pencil) and cut it out - this will be a reusable template for making postcards.

Cut out a rectangle measuring 14x22cm from white cardboard (thick paper) and fold it in half. Next, we cut out two rectangles measuring 13x10cm from colored cardboard and glue them to the base of the postcard so that we get equal indentations from the edges.

Let's start making birds. We choose which birds will be on the postcard and take the desired template. We also select cardboard of the desired color, transfer the template of the bird parts onto the cardboard and cut it out.

We glue all the details of the birds to the postcard, the gluing sequence is shown in the figure. There are two ways to do this:

just glue the parts;

We add volume to the postcard by gluing the parts onto thick double-sided tape or cutting out small pieces of cardboard and first gluing them to the parts of the birds, and then gluing the parts to the postcard.

Finally, we cut out and glue the eyes and beak, you can also decorate the card as you wish. All, Mother's Day Card ready.

Today we will learn how to make cards for Mother's Day with our own hands. First, let's remember what kind of holiday this is.

An international holiday that is celebrated in all countries on different days. In Russia, it began to be celebrated quite recently, only 14 years ago. This holiday does not have a specific date. It is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, i.e. in 2015 - November 29. In Ukraine it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. On this day, no one can remain indifferent to mothers. Everyone is in a hurry to say warm words of love and gratitude to them. Every mother deserves this, not only on this day, but on any other. To remind your mother of your love, you can make a delicate card with your own hands.

Postcard material:

• double-sided colored paper;
• scissors;
• toothpicks;
• quilling strips;
• PVA glue.

Making a Mother's Day Card

For the base, take thick paper, or cardboard. Glue paper of a contrasting color onto it. For curly shapes, you can use napkins (round). Set them aside and start working on the decorative elements of the card.

Let's make a few paper roses right away; they look rich on any card.
Cut three strips 1 cm wide from colored paper. Take one strip and a toothpick.

Fold either edge of the strip at a 45 degree angle.

Wind the strip onto the toothpick until the end of the fold. Next you will need to wrap the paper 30-35 degrees away from you and twist the toothpick to twist the strip of paper.

For a rose to be beautiful, there should be no few bends.

When the rose is ready, drop a good drop of glue into the middle of the rose from the bottom, cover it with the tip of the strip, and hold it in your hands for a while, squeezing the middle in your hands so that it sticks well. You can put the rose under a small press. Make three roses.

We will also need small chrysanthemums. To make them, we use strips 1.2-1.5 cm wide. Make a fringe on them using scissors.

Roll the strips of fringed paper into a tight spiral. Open the fringe of the flower.

Instead of leaves, we will make beautiful curls. Take quilling paper 3mm wide.

Fold two strips in half.

Twist the fold onto a toothpick.

Remove it and you'll get a curl. Now distribute the strips at equal distances from each other. Cut the paper to the shortest strip and glue them together.

We also need one unopened bud. Twist a tight spiral from a strip 3 mm wide. Extrude the middle of the spiral into a cone shape.

Glue an unblown chrysanthemum in the middle.

Collect all the elements into a composition.

Write congratulatory words.

On Mother's Day, this wonderful holiday worthy of respect and respect, it is best to give your mothers a card that you draw with your own hands; in particular, it will be wonderful and appropriate to draw what you wish for your beloved mother.

For example, if you want your mother to go to the sea, which she has dreamed of going to for so long, draw her happy lying on a sun lounger on the beach by the sea.

Making a postcard with your own hands is always a pleasant and exciting task. And it’s even nicer to receive such a postcard. You immediately understand that the person tried, spent his time for you, and did not go and buy a ready-made card, in which sometimes even the wish is already printed. My friend’s husband gave her a postcard for March 8th, and a happy birthday greeting was printed inside. Which confirms that he didn’t even read it, which is not very pleasant. A homemade postcard is a completely different matter.

We will need:

needle and thread (or sewing machine),

pieces of fabric.

First we decide what size it will be. Now cut out three rectangles of this size. One of them, which will be in the middle, should be slightly smaller in size. And it is needed to make the postcard thicker and more impressive.





Now we smooth the pieces with an iron. Then we need to sew all the pieces together using a zigzag seam. This can be done by hand or using a sewing machine.



Now take glue and glue all the edges of the card.



If there are any patterns on the material, you can stitch them, it will be more beautiful.



Then we place the card with the wrong side up and apply glue to it.



Glue a piece of Kapton and wait until it all dries.



We sew along the edge to make it stronger.



There you go:



Another interesting postcard is in this video:

You can make a greeting card for the wonderful holiday of Mother’s Day with your own hands. To do this, it is enough to have colored sheets or a white sheet with paints. In general, we turn on our imagination. We fold a white A4 sheet in half, draw bright pictures on one half with colored pencils, and in the center we write Happy Mother’s Day, Congratulations, Beloved Mother, or something else. It’s just worth remembering what the holiday cards that are sold in gift stores look like.

Inside the sheet we write, for example, some pleasant words of congratulations or a poem dedicated to Mother's Day. The inside of the sheet can also be decorated with bright paints or colored pencils.

Very beautiful cards are made from satin ribbons and silk-screened wallpaper, beads, artificial small flowers, all kinds of bows, colored glitter and glue with sparkles, flower shops have a very beautiful variety of wrapping papers and bows, and then you just need imagination, but if it is missing , you can use the Internet. Good luck.

In 2013, Mother's Day in Russia is celebrated on November 24th. Giving a gift and making a postcard with your own hands to your beloved mother is simply necessary, since mothers love us, although they scold us, and we are offended by them, because we do not understand that they wish us well.

Postcards can be made in either color or black and white. Optional. For example, I really liked this postcard.



She is colored; You can print it out and then glue it onto cardboard. My sister and I did this when we were little, but there was no Internet at all then, so we drew by hand, ourselves, and then glued it onto cardboard, and signed kind words to mommy.

For some, warm words addressed to you are enough, but you can also make gifts with your own hands, for example, a greeting card.

You can simply buy it in a store or at an appropriate kiosk, or better yet, do it yourself. no special intelligence required. We take paper, but thicker, and decorate it with paints or colored pencils. We fold it in half and inside our postcard we write a poem or a congratulation with wishes in prose.

On the front side of the card, draw flowers, the sun and everything that is associated with a good mood. And there are other options - How to make a postcard.

Mother's Day is very soon, which means it's worth thinking about what you plan to add to your congratulations. Of course, we are talking about postcards: this small symbolic detail is like confirmation of what you want to convey. In this material, we’ll try to make a postcard together, and a non-trivial one at that: what do you think, for example, is the shape of a donut or a piece of cake?

Idea 1: beautiful Mother's Day cards in the shape of sweets

You will need:

• paints;
• brushes;
• thick cardboard;
• a set of colored paper;
• good glue;
• markers and pens;
• scissors.

These original Mother's Day cards are easy to make:

Idea 2: Make awesome cards with pompoms

We never cease to be amazed that all the fresh ideas are brilliantly easy to implement! For example, these postcards with pom-poms will take you about twenty minutes. You can buy the necessary materials for crafts at almost any craft and creative store. So let's get started.

You will need:

• If you plan to use thread pompoms, you will need a sheet of cardboard. For standard store-bought pompoms, just thick paper will do.
• pencils
• glue gun,
• PVA glue or needle and thread.

To begin with, a sheet of cardboard or paper needs to be folded in half: this is how you get a blank for the future postcard. Now let's start drawing the background: it can be anything related to the theme of motherhood. We offer funny drawings of animals and birds with babies. Attach the pompom to the required places using glue and add the missing details. Even children can make such Mother’s Day greeting cards!

Idea 3: card with an embroidered heart for mom

This card turns out incredibly cute! Its production should be entrusted to children who can already be trusted to work with a needle. And you will probably have everything you need to make such a card at home.

You will need:

• a sheet of thick cardboard;
• thick needle;
• a simple pencil;
• set of multi-colored threads.

We take a sheet of thick cardboard and cut out a rectangle from it, which will serve as the basis for the future postcard. In the center of the card, carefully draw the outline of a heart with a simple pencil, which will be used for embroidery. You may not be able to draw a heart perfectly evenly by hand. In this case, we recommend using a cookie cutter or a pre-made paper template.

Without threading a thick needle, make a perforation along the contour of the heart, as in the photo below. Then we thread the needle and embroider. The holes on the cardboard must be connected in any order. Now you know how to make a card for mom that will surprise you!

Idea 4: three-dimensional card for Mother's Day

Making a three-dimensional card is not as difficult as it might seem. Our next master class is a clear confirmation of this.

Let's get started:

Cut out small hearts from colored paper. The minimum quantity you will need is eight pieces. Keep in mind that the size of the hearts will determine the scale of the flower on the card.

We fold all the paper hearts in half and carefully begin to lay them out in the shape of a circle, thus forming a flower. The petals on the base need to be fixed with glue (just don’t overdo it, one small stroke is enough). Instead of glue, you can use double-sided tape. Admire the result: a stylish Mother’s Day card for your friend, sister, mother, grandmother or even colleague is ready!

Idea 5: postcard with spring birds

You will need:

• set of colored cardboard;
• a sheet of paper with a stylish ornament (sold in specialized stores, can be replaced with beautiful paper for gift wrapping);
• a template with a silhouette of birds (feel free to take any that fits in size: we have presented several options below);
• a blank in the shape of a circle with a figured edge;
• some foam tape.

Let's get started:

Idea 6: card with voluminous flowers for Mother's Day

This card is not as easy to make as the previous options, so be patient: it will take you about two hours to do everything.

You will need:

• a sheet of thick white cardboard or paper (approximate size 23 x 31 centimeters);
• several sheets of thin colored paper of different colors;
• several types of floral tape (at your discretion: you can use just one type);
• green chenille wire;
• glue sticks or glue gun;
• several glue crystals;
• ruler;
• a small amount of thin grosgrain ribbon (preferably pink);
• scissors.
