It is customary to give cards for all holidays, both marked and unmarked on the calendar. This applies to major religious holidays, such as Easter, or personal and small ones, such as the day of acquaintance or a big purchase. All memorable dates need cards and New Year is no exception. As you know, you can’t buy something made directly by human hands in a store and you won’t find it anywhere else. Everything is unique.

We invite you to please and surprise your friends and acquaintances, colleagues and friends with New Year's cards. And to this we attach a selection of ideas for inspiration on the theme of New Year's cards.

Idea No. 1. New Year card with a Christmas tree in a skirt

This is a voluminous postcard. If you plan to write a wish and then print it on a printer, then this should be done before decorating.

So, what do you need to create a card with a Christmas tree from corrugated paper:
2. Corrugated paper.
3. Scissors.
5. Double-sided tape and/or PVA glue.
6. Simple pencil.

Let's start by preparing the base for the card. To do this, take cardboard or thick paper and bend it in half. In principle, a standard move for a postcard. Next, on one of the halves, make a rough sketch of the future Christmas tree. This can be done with a couple of lines.

Now let's prepare the corrugated paper. You need to cut it into strips about one and a half centimeters in height, and in length, this value is curled depending on how fluffy the Christmas tree needs to be made. We suggest taking a third of the planned length as an allowance. The strips should be of different sizes to maintain the triangular shape of the Christmas tree. That is, both the shortest and longest strips should be available.

Now you need to glue the corrugated paper strips into place. It is better to start from the lower tiers and gradually move up. Focusing on the marks made earlier and using glue or double-sided tape, glue the strips, tucking them in a little. To get some kind of skirt with tails.

Upon completion, you can decorate the top of your Christmas tree with a star and glue sparkles, rain, bows or something like that.

You need to pick up some elements or come up with kind words. So that your postcard leaves an even greater impression on the recipient.

Idea No. 2. New Year card and some scrapbooking

In this option, it is better to print the wish in advance or print it on a separate piece of paper, which can also be played up and presented in an original way.

So, what do you need to create a postcard:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Scissors.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Scrap paper.
6. Any object shaped like a pencil.

Scarpbooking postcard, for beginners

Decide on the size of your Christmas tree. And based on this, plan how much paper you will need. More precisely, how many and what size do you need to cut rectangles from scrap paper.

Then, once you have decided on the number of rectangles and cut them out, you need to roll each one into cylinders. The basis of which will be a pencil or something cylindrical that you have on hand. You need to twist the tubes in the direction of width, and so that they keep their shape, after you remove the base, you need to secure the structure with glue.

After each rectangle is twisted into a tube, you need to connect all the tubes together with glue. Naturally, you should stick to approximately the shape of the Christmas tree, that is, a triangle.

Now let's work on the base of the postcard. Take a prepared sheet of cardboard or thick paper and fold it in half. Now you need to glue the Christmas tree onto one of the halves. But before that, the glue on the Christmas tree must set sufficiently and dry.

After the Christmas tree is glued to the base of the card, it's time to decorate it. For this purpose, you can use all kinds of decorations - buttons, miniature bows, ribbons, beads, rivets, sparkles, sequins, in a word, whatever your heart desires.

Decorations can be attached with double-sided tape.

Don't forget to write something nice to the recipient inside.

Idea No. 3. New Year card in the style of “children's hands”

This idea is perfect for little crafters and needlewomen. She is uncomplicated, but sweet and open, just like a child's soul. Let's not hesitate, call the kids and let's get started.

1. Colored cardboard. We suggest taking a classic color combination: red and green. But you are free to change them.
2. Sparkles, rhinestones, sequins.
3. Wrapping paper or candy wrapper.
4. Black fine marker.
5. Scissors.
6. Double-sided tape and/or PVA glue.
7. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
8. Stapler.
9. Hot melt adhesive.

Let's start by preparing the base for the card. To do this, take red cardboard and simply bend it in half. You can slightly cut the corners of the resulting rectangle. This will make your message more interesting.

We make a Christmas tree. You will need to take green cardboard, fold it in half and then cut it. Bend one half into an accordion. Determine the width of the “step” yourself. We recommend at least one centimeter and no more than three. Grab one end of the accordion with a stapler; you can apply two staples for security.

Now let's create a stump. To do this, you need to cut out a simple rectangle from wrapping paper or candy wrapper. If you use the latter, do not forget to first iron it through a simple piece of paper. This will help straighten the wrapper.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree to the base of the card. Hot melt adhesive is perfect for this purpose. It is better not to trust this operation to children. Tuck a stump under the free end of the Christmas tree and glue it too.

Advice. Since the heat gun heats the rod to a fairly high temperature, the child can get burned or ruin the whole work with a careless movement, which will be offensive.
It's time to decorate the Christmas tree. Glue the decorations you prepared to the crown. Don't forget to place something big and beautiful on the top of your New Year's beauty.

Give your child a marker and let him write some simple and kind words on a postcard and let him make a couple of mistakes, where would he be without them?

Idea No. 4. New Year card in the style of "minimalism"

We offer you a postcard with a Christmas tree in a minimalist style for your consideration and inspiration. At first glance, a simple and even modest postcard becomes quite complex when studied in detail. But you're not looking for easy ways, are you?

So, what do you need to create a minimalist greeting card?

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Stationery knife or shaped hole punch.
3. Thread and needle. It is better to choose a thread color that contrasts with the main color of the card. And the type of thread you can take is similar to “iris”.
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Sequins.
6. Scissors.

DIY New Year card for children

We will start, as they say, from the beginning. Fold the cardboard sheet in half. Now you need to make some sketches on one of the parts. This applies to the location of the top of the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree itself. The field of how you conventionally placed the Christmas tree on half of the postcard. Carefully cut through the top of the Christmas tree. If you have a shaped hole punch, then this task will not take much of your time. Well, if there is no hole punch, then first draw a star, then carefully cut it out using a stationery knife. By the way, before starting work it is better to renew the tip of the blade.

After you are done with the star. Take a thread and a needle and, using your marks as a guide, start making stitches. Remember to thread enough sequins onto the thread after piercing the paper. It is not advisable to tighten the thread too much and it is also not advisable for it to sag.

Now you need to make notes through the cut hole of the star. So that its location can be seen inside the postcard. Use a sticker in the shape of a star or any other, not necessarily this exact shape, the main thing is that it is not clear what kind of sticker it is when the postcard is closed.

That's all. Write something good inside and feel free to give it!

Idea No. 5. Postcard with a Christmas tree using origami technique.

Origami is a very complex and interesting technique. Her Asian roots give her a certain charm and mystery. When this technique is mentioned, complex designs and intricate diagrams immediately come to mind. But don’t worry, the Christmas tree proposed below is not aerobatics. You can definitely handle it.

So, what do you need to create a postcard with a Christmas tree using the origami technique:
1. Colored thick paper, but not cardboard.
2. Colored cardboard.
3. Double-sided tape and/or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.

Let's start with the base of the card. Carefully bend a sheet of multi-colored A4 cardboard (you can use another one) in half.

Tip: keep in mind that some cardboard sheets tend to crack when folded. This greatly affects the aesthetics of the postcard itself. If you have the trouble of running into such cardboard, then the bend can be decorated with figuratively cut colored paper or ribbon, or even braid.

So, now we need to fold about three origami modules. Depending on the initial size, you can make more or fewer modules. Accordingly, the Christmas tree will be larger or smaller.
Let's start from an example. Take three squares of construction paper or scrapbooking paper. You can print any image you want on thick paper. The sides of the square, as we said above, can affect the size of the tree. In our case, 20 centimeters. The square needs to be folded diagonally, then unfolded and folded again diagonally, crosswise.

You have conventionally marked four triangles, now you need to tuck two opposite each other inward. Now press the resulting triangle to any surface and mark the conditional center of the figure for yourself, bend the lower corner parallel to the marked middle. Repeat the procedure with the second corner. The module is ready. Add two more. You can take a different color of paper.

Let's start assembling the Christmas tree. Glue the origami module onto the base of the postcard. You can use glue or tape. The formation of the Christmas tree should be done from top to bottom, as if inserting the next module into the previous one.

The next step is to fill in the details of your card. Choose how and what to decorate yourself. As an example, we offer bows and buttons.

Idea No. 6. Postcard with ribbon Christmas tree

This idea is also minimalist. And it is not an overly complex design. If you are looking for ideas for working with children, then this idea is perfect for you.

So, what do you need to create a card with a ribbon Christmas tree:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and/or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Decorative ribbons, scrap paper or clippings from bright pages of printed publications.
6. Stickers. In this option, it is important to take stickers in the shape of stars.

We will begin, accordingly, by preparing the foundation. To do this, you need to bend a sheet of cardboard in half. Among the materials prepared, look for paper or tape that is closest in color to brown. We will decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree. The ideal option would be to cut out a very elongated trapezoid from brown paper. Glue the trunk of the Christmas tree onto one of the halves of the base. Try to place it exclusively in the middle of the sheet.

After you have completed work with the trunk, you need to pay attention to the crown of the tree. Namely, cutting the prepared material into strips. Each subsequent strip should be longer or, accordingly, shorter than the previous one. It is better not to change the width. We suggest cutting strips of approximately 1.5-2 centimeters.

Now that you have visually imagined how many strips you need, you need to cut off the corners of the cut strips at an angle of about 45 degrees. So that in general the tapes, already placed in their proper places, will form a triangle with a strongly pointed apex. It is better to do this not for each tape separately, but for all of them at once, with one, so to speak, cut.

Place a star-shaped sticker on the very top of your Christmas tree. At this point we can consider the work on this postcard completed. But you can add details with decorative elements. It's up to your taste.

Idea No. 7. New Year card with original Christmas tree

And one more idea for inspiration for a variation of the New Year. The idea is also not characterized by multi-steps and high cost of materials. And the end result is an original and cute decoration for a New Year’s card. If you take pastel or, as makeup artists like to say, nude shades, the card will have a fairly bright feminine character. Such a card would be an appropriate addition to a gift for a woman of middle age or older.

So, what do you need to create a greeting card with an original Christmas tree:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and/or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Round napkins or double-sided colored paper.

The first thing we do is fold the cardboard across it. Here is the main part of the postcard is ready.

Now let's make a Christmas tree. For this purpose, you need to take a double-sided napkin in the shape of a circle and divide it exactly in half. In the future, you will only need one part to create one Christmas tree. Well, if you were unable to find suitable napkins, then you can make paper for this purpose yourself. The main thing is to decide what size you want your Christmas tree to be.

Because we must take into account that the average printer is capable of printing any drawing only on A4 format. Accordingly, based on this, it is necessary to calculate the size of the future tree. Alternatively, you can use thick double-sided paper.
In favor of the printed option: if you print only a semicircle, the size of the tree will increase to 20-25 centimeters.

So, you have decided on the paper and there is a semicircle in front of you. In order to fold the Christmas tree you need to perform a fairly simple operation. Step back about 3-5 centimeters along the smooth edge of the semicircle and make an inconspicuous mark for yourself. This is where the top of your Christmas tree will be located. Now fold the paper like an accordion. The step width is approximately five centimeters. Experiment with this. You may be satisfied with other options.

It makes sense to secure the resulting folds so that the Christmas tree does not try to come free like a spring. This can be easily done using double-sided tape. When your hand becomes more confident in folding the accordion, you can pre-fix the tape on a semicircle of paper.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree onto one of the halves of the next card. This can be done using tape or glue.
If desired, add details to the card and decorate the Christmas tree with decorative elements.

We have all been familiar with children's books since childhood. Who, without even knowing it, were the founders of modern, trendy 3D. Turning over the next piece of paper, we met foxes, wolves or Koloboks, who rose above the book pages as if alive. Agree, then for us it was almost magic. We have grown up, and now we can try on the mantle of a wizard simply by making voluminous cards for the New Year.

So, what you will need to create a New Year's card with a 3D effect:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Scissors.
3. Curly scissors (optional).
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Stationery knife.
6. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.

Let's start making 3D cards for the New Year

You need to cut out several triangles from colored cardboard; for this purpose, take curly scissors. In the future, these triangles will become tree crowns. You don't have to make them the same; you can experiment with the sizes.

Now let's get down to preparing the base of the postcard. For this purpose, you need to take two sheets of cardboard and paper. The cardboard will act as the base, and the paper will be the inner edge of the card. And bend them in half

The sheet of paper that will play the role of the inner liner must first be drawn out, and then cuts should be made using a stationery knife or scissors. The marks are made perpendicular to the fold of the paper and represent something like steps, namely stumps for poor Christmas trees.

The crowns of the Christmas trees prepared in advance now need to be glued into place. To do this, open the inner insert of the postcard and you should get something like steps, so stick the Christmas trees on them. Have you already understood the principle of the postcard?

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the idea for creating a very original greeting and not only New Year's card. But still, it will look like the sheets folded in half that are familiar to us. Although, here is a completely different principle. But the recipient will definitely like it.

So, what do you need to create a dynamic New Year’s greeting card:

1. Thick colored cardboard and/or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
2. Scissors.
3. Stationery knife.
4. Compass.
5. Thick enough thread.

On a standard A4 sheet of paper, draw a circle using a compass. Then cut it out. Now fold the resulting circle in half and use scissors to make cuts that are arranged alternately and reflect the contours of the circle. The cuts should become longer as you move away from the center.

After this you need to straighten the circle. Glue a thread to the center of the circle. To make the product more interesting. A thread is threaded through the top and circles of cardboard of contrasting color are glued to it. The thread is positioned so that the glued circles are located under the base of the circle. Now if you pull the thread, the structure will turn into an unusual garland shaped like a Christmas tree. And bright circles will be playfully visible inside it.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree after returning it to its folded state. When gluing, make sure that you do not glue too much, and the Christmas tree has the opportunity to spread out. The base to which you will glue your dynamic Christmas tree can be made from cardboard folded in half.

That's basically it. You have an unusual and dynamic card, all that remains is to write congratulations and give it as a gift.

Idea No. 10. New Year cards decorated using double-sided tape with a backing

We offer you several options under one heading. Since they have a common element - all options use double-sided tape with a backing as the basis for decorating and securing the elements.

So, what do you need to create a New Year's greeting card using double-sided tape:

1. Double-sided tape with backing.
2. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
3. Scissors.
4. Shaped hole punch, if desired.
5. Ribbons, cord or thick thread.

Option 1. First you need to prepare the bases for the cards. This is very simple to do - you just need to take several sheets of cardboard and bend them in half. You can make not only rectangular shapes, but the simplest and most familiar ones are just like this. Triangular or cardboard ones will also be quite original, but you need to take into account that not all decorative elements look equally good, for example, on a round shape.

Video, DIY New Year cards

Then we will prepare the elements for decoration. Using a shaped hole punch, cut out many circles from colored cardboard from colored paper. It is desirable that the size be different. Well, if you don’t have a hole punch on the farm, you can simply cut everything out with scissors. True, this will take more time, but we are not looking for easy ways, are we? It is better to take paper that is hard and of different colors. The ideal option would be to use colors that differ in several tones, but within the same shade. You can take paper that imitates a mirror surface and introduce it as an addition.

Now you need to take the prepared card base and stick tape on it. By creating a semblance of a circle on the sheet. Then remove the protective layer from the tape pads and glue the multi-colored circles. Repeat this procedure, adding more layers. Try to alternate mugs of different sizes. The number of layers is up to you. Add them until you get the desired result. Then simply tie a colorful ribbon in a bow and glue it at the top, making the layered mugs into a sort of wreath.

Option 2. A fairly minimalist option. Good for men or boys. You will need a prepared card base, onto which you will glue a piece of tape, and on it a square of plain cardboard. Decide on the size yourself. Place a slightly variegated ribbon bow at the top of the cardboard square. The result will be some stylization of the image of the gift.

Option 3. Cut out several rectangles of various shapes from colored cardboard. They should be wrapped with thread in the same way as gifts are wrapped with ribbon and a bow should be left on top. Then glue the postcards in a row along the bottom edge of the blank on the double-sided strip. You can succinctly add “Happy New Year!”

Simple DIY New Year cards. Ideas for creativity

Idea No. 11.

This is an extremely interesting idea. Because even the thought of stitching paper is already surprising. This idea is based on an applique that is secured in place using machine stitching. Naturally, the stitching can be applied manually; you can find a certain charm and originality in this. Both options should be tried, since different stitching techniques can give a completely different look to the card.

So, what do you need to create a New Year's card decorated with a stitch from a sewing machine:

1. Sewing machine. In principle, you can make stitches by hand.
2. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will be sufficient.
3. Scissors.
4. Additional decorations at your discretion.

Let's get started.

Now cut out decorative elements from any type and color of paper. These can be Christmas trees, balls, stars. And the paper can be plain or variegated, monochrome. Wrapping, for scrapbooking, simply, printed on a printer or colorful pages of old magazines. Then stack all the elements on top of each other and stitch them with a machine. Try to secure all layers with one line. Take a bright thread so that it is clearly visible against the general background. Set the thread tension to the lowest setting.

You can place one element or make many layers. Experiment to your heart's content. The line can be placed succinctly or made in multiples by crossing them.

Video, DIY New Year and Christmas cards

This is the selection of ideas we came up with this time. We hope that you found something for yourself among the proposed ideas. Give more cards and fill them with warm wishes and kind words. Happy New Year!

Now we begin to prepare gifts for the holiday. And we will start doing this with greeting cards.

Everyone remembers Soviet greeting cards with kind hedgehogs, squirrels and Santa Claus. They are excellent and beautifully drawn, but now I want something different. More modern and creative, therefore, improvised materials and simple, laconic forms are increasingly used in creativity.

Now a postcard is a direction of hand-made creativity and represents an original design element.

You don't have to have an art school diploma to draw the main attributes of the New Year. Most often they are very symbolic. You just need to repeat the triangular shape of the Christmas tree and the square shape of the gift wrapping.

There are things that have already lost their functionality over time: old locks or buttons. But they will become a wonderful decor.

Or you know for sure that you have wallpaper scraps stored on your mezzanines. Take them!

The ideas of some craftswomen who create modern, beautiful designs for gifts and packaging are amazing.

For example, cross-stitched snowflakes.

Or Christmas balls from newspaper.

Absolutely everything is used for decoration, right down to colored pasta.

Idea: To create an unusual background, place a template on the base.
Put gouache on your toothbrush and move it along the comb.
When the application density is satisfactory, then remove the template.

Making a New Year's card from paper and cardboard

A beautiful Christmas tree will be made from origami parts.

To make such a Christmas tree we will need three squares, measuring 5*5, 4*4, 3*3 centimeters.

Take 1 sheet of paper and fold it diagonally.

We get a triangle by folding the square twice diagonally.

Fold both upper edges of the triangle inward.

We need three such parts.

On the white base we glue a beautiful backing on which our Christmas tree will be located.

We make a trunk out of brown paper, and glue a bow or star to the top; you can also use a button.

Creative ideas for DIY New Year cards made from different materials

Use a minimalist style. Recreate the silhouette of a Christmas tree using thin ribbon.

Or glue sequins in the shape of a New Year's wreath.

You can simply connect the points at the level of the branches with colored threads.

Just select a contrasting background in advance and use a needle to make holes where the threads will go.

Feel free to use wood chips, clothespins, newspapers and fabric.

Button decor is popular now.

Or, for example, try to apply an ornament in the form of a deer or a Christmas tree on the front side and carefully cut it out.

Glue a colored backing on the reverse side to create contrast.

Simple lines, several backgrounds and paper textures and an unusual creative greeting are ready.

Now let's get creative and create an unusual postcard.

Be sure to glue a backing onto the base, because the design is heavy and the card may bend.

To begin with, we will need 12 pieces of different paper or wallpaper.

We need to cut them 1 centimeter wider than the previous strip.

Before rolling into a tube, fold all the pieces in descending order to avoid confusion.

You can sign the width value on the reverse side of each workpiece.

Now take a pencil and roll up a tube. We glue the edge with glue or double-sided tape.

We complete all rows.

Braid and ribbons, beads or cones are suitable as decoration.

How to make New Year cards with your children

Making a three-dimensional snowman.

We will need:

• Blue background
• White paper
• Thick double-sided tape
• Decor

On a white sheet of paper, draw three circles of different sizes. This will be the body of the snowman.

1 circle - 5 cm, 2 circle - 4 cm, 3 circle - 3 cm.

We draw eyes on the head, a carrot nose and a mouth with dots.

We decorate with decor and a congratulatory inscription.

It is better to prepare the background paper in advance; let it be in festive colors: red, green, blue, gold.

Even just applying three stripes of festive colors already sets the overall mood!

Handicraft stores sell velvet and embossed cardboard, which diversify the textured combination of design elements.

You can make a background by simply printing traces of a Christmas tree or pine cone on plain paper.

Simply dip the Christmas tree needles in white gouache and transfer the print to the base.

Think about napkins with monograms and ornaments.

Children's fingerprints can make Christmas balls or animal figurines.

Use cotton wool and cotton pads to create a light and fluffy snowball or cute snowman.

It looks very creative when splashes of white paint are splashed in a chaotic manner on a plain cardboard.

Another option to receive New Year's greetings is to use a coloring book as a greeting.

I'll give you a few options.

Color the snowman.

Print them out and let your child add colors to them.

If you use thick cardboard, you can glue heavy decor in the form of buttons, beads or pine branches.

It’s also easy to make a snowflake decoration using PVA glue.

We need a tube with a spout.

We apply a drawing to the base with a pencil and squeeze out strips of glue along it. It must be shaken well before use. While it is not completely high, sprinkle with glitter and remove to dry completely.

This glue is considered completely harmless and non-toxic, so you can work with children.

If you are against working with glue, then purchase self-adhesive paper. It is easy to stick on and remove from the surface. And it is useful for the child to practice fine motor skills (he will tear off the protective layer).

There are also curly scissors on sale; they are great for trimming the edges of a backing or a congratulatory inscription. It is safe for the child because they are not as sharp as regular scissors.

Also use stamps. Purchased or made from half a potato or a household sponge. Believe me, your child will remember your time together for a long time and with pleasure.

My dears, I hope that you have found a unique and simple design to repeat. Put a piece of your love for your loved ones into it and they will definitely feel it.

What else is good to do in advance? Of course, postcards, because in order for your family and friends to receive them on time, letters must be sent in advance. We offer you 15 ideas for New Year's cards that you can easily make with your own hands. Last year, as part of the New Year's Engine promotion, we visited, where thematic articles from previous years awaited us.

Decorate the “thread” of the ball with rhinestones. Place the card in an envelope with a fun design.

Postcard “New Year tree”

Create a 3D Christmas tree using patterned crepe paper. Fold a sheet of thick brown paper in half. Sew a slightly smaller cream-colored rectangle to the front of the card. The result was a blank postcard. Place five strips of paper with different patterns on top of each other.

Make a decorative edge along the long side of each strip. Fold the strips like an accordion so that there is an equal distance between the folds. Stick the strips under each other in the shape of a Christmas tree. Cut out a star and attach it to the top of the tree. Decorate with glitter.

New Year's card "Santa Claus"

Your loved ones will be happy to receive a surprise card on New Year's Day. Fold a piece of red paper to make a pocket. Attach strips of white paper with a shaped edge to the card (see photo).

Place a surprise inside the card. Wrap the string around the top flap twice, securing it with a drop of glue on the back of the flap. Thread the thread through the “From Santa Claus” tag and tie the thread with a bow.

This card is very easy to make. In addition, it is easy to produce in large quantities. Using a stencil, cut out snowflakes of different shapes. Sign the card and decorate with a ribbon. At the bottom of the card, glue a strip of paper with a curly edge and a strip of paper with a pattern. Snowflakes of different shapes and paper with different patterns will help you create a unique design for each postcard.

Decorate a simple card in minutes. Cut out half a Christmas tree from patterned paper. “Hang” button toys of a suitable color on the Christmas tree, placing them on a drop of glue. Attach a star-shaped sticker to the top of the tree.

Bright mittens in a row are the main decoration of this New Year's card. Attach a strip of patterned paper and ribbon to the bottom of the card. Write your warmest Christmas wishes. Make holes in the two outer mittens, thread them through the lace and tie with bows. Glue the remaining mittens to the card with glue.

Tip: To keep the bows securely, they need to be secured with a drop of glue, applying it in the middle of the lace.

This funny felt Santa Claus is a wonderful way to wish your loved ones a Happy New Year. Cut out the beard and hat from strips of felt in red, green, dark gray and white. Cut a circle with a diameter of 13 cm from cream paper and glue it to a circle of the same size cut from white paper. On the back of the white circle you will write congratulations.

Starting with the beard, glue felt pieces to the white circle. Glue on the mustache, mouth, cheeks and eyes. Cut 13 cm long strips from red, green and pink felt. Braid the strips and attach them to Santa Claus's hat. Attach a cut-out felt sprig of Christmas holly to the top of the hat.

This simple and elegant card features the popular Christmas character Rudolph the Reindeer. Cut it out using a stencil from dark green paper. Fold a sheet of light green paper measuring 24 by 14 cm in half. Apply glue to the middle of three round openwork napkins and glue them to the card. Cut out a circle from “book” paper and glue it to the center of the top napkin.

Attach the Rudolph figurine to the postcard, make him a red nose - a circle made of red paper. Give your card envelope a vintage look by inserting a liner of antique scrapbooking paper inside the envelope.

Tip: To give white napkins an antique look, rub them with damp tea bags.

Translation of the article Homemade Christmas Cards from English prepared by Elena Sukhaya

Good afternoon. Today we will make New Year's cards with our own hands. I will show you the most interesting ways and techniques. You will not only see photographs, but also receive detailed instructions and diagrams for creating each such postcard. I will give you the necessary master classes to illustrate complex techniques (quilling, origami) step by step.

I decided to divide the entire article into 5 parts - according to the topics of New Year's cards.

1. First we will look at a variety of Christmas trees on postcards.
2. Then I will show you which Santa Clauses can decorate your card.
3. Then we will make Snowmen using different techniques.
4. Then we'll move on to Christmas wreaths.
5. And of course, let’s look at applique snowflakes on postcards.

So let's get started...

Part one

TREE on New Year's cards.

Method number 1 - paper triangles.

If you still have old signed New Year's cards, you can no longer give them away for the second round. But you can use them to create a NEW card. You can cut a triangle out of a New Year’s card, put it on a leg and you’ll get a Christmas tree. The New Year's motif on the card came out naturally - like the colors of a Christmas tree.

Or you can cut a Christmas tree out of a regular cardboard box - rough corrugated packaging cardboard will harmonize with delicate lace or pearl beads. And you will receive an elegant New Year's card made by yourself.

You can cut out a triangular silhouette of a Christmas tree with wavy edges, and cover it with sequins that imitate Christmas tree decorations on the tree.

You can give the triangular silhouette of the Christmas tree a jagged edge (as in the photo of the cards below). You can also cut out several silhouettes at once and combine them on one New Year’s card.

On the blue New Year's card with the photo below we see how a three-dimensional bladed Christmas tree is glued together from three triangles.

Or one Christmas tree silhouette can be larger in size and with a different shade of color - we put it as a duplicate background under the top silhouette (as on the right New Year's card with the photo below).

Method No. 2 - paper ribbons on a New Year's card.

You can very quickly and easily form a herringbone applique from paper or textile tapes.

You can use regular strips of colored paper. Or buy embroidered braid in the sewing department of the store. Or, in the gift department of the store, buy a sheet of elegant wrapping paper and cut patterned strips from it for a Christmas tree applique on a New Year’s card.

In the photo below we see several options for creating such a New Year's tree applique.

Paper strips do not have to be glued in strict order and symmetry. You can cut strips of four lengths - 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm. And arrange them in a chaotic inclined order starting from the bottom 10 cm, in the middle we lay strips of 3 cm and 5 cm, and at the top 3 cm. Top it all off paper star and get a New Year's card with your own hands as in the left photo below.

You can also take a triangle cut out of thick cardboard and cover it with strips of paper or fabric, bending the edges of the strips to the underside of the cardboard triangle. And we will get a ready-made elegant Christmas tree that you can safely stick on your postcard (right photo below).

But with paper strips you can make not only planar applications. You can make Christmas trees using the three-dimensional technique. Here I give a detailed description of how to make a looped Christmas tree with your own hands on a red New Year’s card from the left photo below.

Step 1 - cut strips narrow and long - their lengths will also be different: 2 strips of 15 cm, 2 strips of 12 cm, 2 strips of 9 cm, and one strip of 7 cm.

Step 2 - make slits in the front side of the card with a blade - 2 slots on both sides along an imaginary line(the width of each slot is such that our strip can easily fit into it).

Step 3 - push each one through strip at one end through 2 slits– turn it with a loop and return to the same slots again. The ends of the strip meeting at the side glue it into the same loop as on the opposite side.

We repeat a similar procedure with the remaining strips. Naturally, you need to arrange the strips from bottom to top in decreasing order (long at the bottom, short at the top).

Or you can cut 6 paper strips of equal length 12 cm. Bend each strip in half and intertwine the flaps of the halves with each other crosswise - in a checkerboard pattern. It just looks difficult. But it's actually simple. Here you can tear out a sheet of paper from your notebook and cut 6 strips of any length and practice on such rough material to see how simple and easy everything really is.

And here is another New Year's card, where the tree is also made from strips of paper. Only here crepe paper is used (with a crumpled, crinkled effect) - it is sold in stationery stores in rolls (like wallpaper).

Step 1 - We cut wide strips of different lengths - 12 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm.

Step 2 - On the postcard we outline lines-tiers (rounded), to these lines we will glue each tier of our paper Christmas tree. We attach a strip of double-sided tape to these drawn lines.

Step 3 - We take the longest strip (12 cm) and fold its entire upper edge into small folds - tucks - and place these tucks on the bottom line of the tape. Take the next largest strip (10 cm) and do the same. And so we move to the top tier of the tree. Then we decorate the Christmas tree on a New Year's card with any design at our discretion.

Method number 3 - paper circles.

Here's a way to make a Christmas tree on a New Year's card using circles cut out of paper. You can cut out circles of the same size (like the blue card in the photo below). Or you can cut the circles into 4 different sizes - 2 circles for each size. And then the Christmas tree will turn out to be triangular in shape (tapering towards the top) as on the red New Year’s card with the photo below.

Method No. 4 – quilling technique for New Year cards.

Here’s another technique that produces very beautiful hand-made New Year’s cards. You can make beautiful twists from paper strips.

This is what the process of creating a Christmas tree using the quilling technique looks like. Cut the paper into even strips(it’s convenient to do this under a ruler with a paper cutting knife - on a wooden board so as not to cut the table. Or you can buy ready-made strips for quilling. Or have a machine for cutting quilling strips.

We lay each twist in the template circle(so that the twists are the same size). We allow the tight twist to open up a little and unwind – but within the framework of a round stencil. And then glue the tail-tip of the twist to the barrel of the twist itself. That is, we fix its size. This way you can remove it from the stencil frame and not be afraid that it will unwind and increase its size.

If you don't have a stencil, you can use round ones caps for creams or drinks. Place the twist on the bottom of the glass or cap and let it unwind to the diameter of the cap. Then carefully remove it with tweezers and fix the twist tail with glue.

Pinch the round twists on one side with your finger to give it a drop shape.

We put drops of different sizes in pairs and get a quick and simple Christmas tree.

Quilling technology allows you to create a variety of Christmas tree models from twisted paper.

Method number 5 - paper rolls.

Or you can cut the paper into wide strips of different lengths - and roll each strip into a roll. It's easy to do if wrap it around a pencil– glue it, wait for the glue to set, and only then remove it from the pencil. These rolls of different lengths make a beautiful Christmas tree on a postcard. Quick and easy to do with your own hands. Paper can be used simple color. Or buy sheets gift wrapping paper(sold in the gift department).

Method No. 6 – mosaic Christmas tree on a postcard.

You can use any small details as material to create a Christmas tree. Sliced ​​snowflakes or butterflies. Buttons or origami stars or nuts and bolts (if you are preparing a card for your husband and want to make it in a brutal style).

Method No. 7 – lace Christmas tree on a New Year’s card.

You can make beautiful lace on a New Year's card. you can use ready made lace paper napkins(sold at the hardware store, where the muffin tins are). Such napkins are often placed under cakes and other culinary products).

Or you can make your own paper lace– folding the paper as for cutting out a snowflake. And make an interesting pattern with holes along the folded edge.

Or can you fold the cut-out snowflake into a Christmas tree shape and paste it on a New Year's card.

Method No. 8 – origami technique.

And here are New Year's cards, which are decorated with a Christmas tree folded from a napkin. Such folding origami in the shape of a Christmas tree are made quite quickly and from a simple square (no need to cut anything). The main thing is that each upper square is slightly smaller in size than the lower one. And then the tiers of our Christmas tree will be tapered to the top.

Below I have drawn a diagram that illustrates the process of creating paper blanks for a Christmas tree on a postcard.

But you yourself can come up with YOUR OWN interpretations of a modular Christmas tree made of paper. Come up with your own triangular folds and create your own individual New Year's card with a Christmas tree.

Method No. 9 – folding Christmas tree on a postcard.

And here is another folding Christmas tree. Everything here is quite simple and is made from a separate single sheet of cardboard. And if you wish, you can additionally decorate the Christmas tree with inserts of colored paper and decorations.

You can also quickly fold an origami Christmas tree out of paper using this semicircular pattern. You can copy the shape of the Christmas tree and fold lines directly from the monitor screen. To enlarge or reduce the image on the screen, you need to roll the mouse wheel forward or backward while holding down the Ctrl button.

Or you can make such a Christmas tree yourself without a drawing. And simply bending the semicircle back and forth several times, as shown in the figure below.

If such a semicircular pattern for a folding Christmas tree is not made with a straight edge, but the circumference of the pattern is notched into soft ruffles or teeth, then the edges of our tiers near the Christmas tree will turn out curly, as in the photo of New Year’s cards below.

Method No. 10 – paper carving.

The lapel carving technique is also suitable for Christmas cards. This technique is very simple to do. Part of the picture is cut with a razor blade and folded back. We see the most primitive example in the right photo below - half of the contours of the Christmas tree and snowflake are cut off and simply bent.

You can make a double contour - and then the bend will turn out to be a narrow silhouette strip, as was done on the left postcard in the photo below.

Or you can cut it and bend it downwards each tier silhouette of a Christmas tree on a postcard. And we will receive a Christmas card with the photo below.

You can first practice on any rough piece of paper to see how easy it is to actually implement this card carving technique and make your own unique New Year’s craft.

We've looked at New Year's cards with a Christmas tree theme, and now let's look at all the other New Year's themes that you can use to decorate our cards with your own hands.

Part two

SANTA CLAUS on postcards.

Large applications in the form of Santa Claus will decorate any Christmas card. There is no need to make a full-length silhouette of Santa Claus somewhere in the corner of the postcard in the form of a small booger. It is better to take the largest size of the hat, beard and occupy the entire part of the postcard with these main elements of Santa Claus - red nose, mustache, beard, hat.

You can fold Santa Claus for a postcard using the origami technique - as shown in the photo below.

Part three

SNOWMAN on New Year's cards.

And now you can move on to a new character of the Christmas holidays - the snowman. Usually we are used to seeing it on crafts in the form of three white rounds and a bucket on the head. But you can approach the task of depicting a snowman on a postcard creatively. For example, make it peek out from behind the New Year tree - like in the left photo below.

Or take a ready-made card with a snowman - cut it into strips of different lengths - and from these strips put together a Christmas tree pyramid. Fold in such a way that the cunning face of a snowman can be seen on some of the stripes (as on the left New Year’s card in the photo below).

Also, you don't have to make a snowman appliqué on a card made from classic white paper. You can take the musical staff of a New Year's song on the Internet, print it, and cut out round discs from such paper for a snowman appliqué.

Or take a printed text telling about New Year's traditions and from such a text cut round pieces for a snowman.

You can make a snowman on a card using a paper fan. When the fan is bent in half, its blades unfold in a circle.

You can make a snowman on a postcard using the quilling technique. Twist a strip of white paper into roll-up modules and make a quilling snowman.

You can depict a snowman in an interesting, unusual angle or setting. This could be a TOP VIEW of a snowman (like the left photo below)... or a snowman inside a snow globe (like the right photo).

You can make an applique of a snowman who makes a hole in a snowflake with his nose. Or a snowman lord in a top hat and a red bow around his neck.

It is not necessary to put a bucket on the snowman. The snowman looks good in a neat black hat with a brim, decorated with a sprig of holly.

A snowman on a postcard can be depicted very schematically. A semicircle, a stripe of a scarf, two beady eyes and an orange triangle of a nose.

You can make a simplified silhouette of a snowman as the side part of a two-layer postcard, as in the photo below.

Or you can use the entire white background of the postcard as the body of a snowman. The New Year cards with the photo below show exactly this principle.

The most difficult thing is to make a three-dimensional 3D card with the silhouette of a snowman.

Part four

DEER on Christmas cards.

Another New Year's character that looks festive on New Year's cards is a deer.

It can also be depicted in a non-standard way, but in an interesting situation. For example, it could be a deer enthusiastically singing Christmas songs, playing the drum, or skating - everything is up to your imagination.

You can choose the simplest silhouette applique of ONLY DEER HEADS on postcards.

Or you can decorate a New Year's card with the silhouette of a whole deer - from antlers to hooves.

Part four

SNOWFLAKES on New Year's cards.

You can cut out 2 ordinary stars from paper and stack them on top of each other with an offset into one ray - and we will get an elegant snowflake on a Christmas card with our own hands.

You can make a beautiful snowflake using the voluminous convex technique.

Or embroider a snowflake from threads. That is, apply a symmetrical pattern of punctures. And then, in a certain order, lace these puncture holes with threads to make an openwork snowflake.

You don't have to come up with very complex thread weaves. Even small patterns made from thread and needles will decorate your New Year's cards.

Using this thread technique you can make not only snowflakes, but also any other New Year's motifs.

And of course a snowflake using the quilling technique.

Here in the photo below we see the stages of creating a complex snowflake from ordinary quilling modules - you need to start each snowflake from the center - and grow petals towards the middle - circle by circle.

Your Christmas card with snowflakes can resemble a layer cake, in which a variety of details are mixed, layering and bumping into each other in an elegant chaos of beauty.

The snowflake on your card can be made from paper modules made using the origami technique.

Part five

Wreaths on New Year's cards.

And here is the theme of the festive Christmas wreaths. They can be depicted on a postcard using any technique. This can be a flat applique of any geometric shapes, decorated with ribbons, buttons and other tinsel.

You can make a New Year's card in the form of a door on which such a Christmas wreath hangs.

Quilling technique is also ideal for creating modules for a Christmas wreath.

New Year's cards can be decorated with birds. They can sing winter songs while sitting on musical birch branches.

Also, New Year's cards can depict a winter window, through which you can see either a snowy landscape or a festive room with a Christmas tree.

Here are some more ideas how to give money in a New Year's card . We are used to putting money inside a postcard. But you can put the money outside, making it part of the overall New Year's applique. I will now explain how to place money on the front side of the card and not ruin it with glue.

Here on the first postcard we see a bill that has been folded into a triangular cone - a ribbon was glued to the postcard (not money, we do not spoil it with glue) and the ribbon was glued so that it was glued to the glue in the middle, and its tails hung freely. We place the cone of the Christmas tree-money on the ribbon and tie it with the free ends of the ribbon.

In the second case We glue the snowman - but we don’t just glue it - we glue it onto thick pieces of styrofoam. That is, the snowman turns out to be towering on the postcard. This way, the snowman’s neck turns out to be moved away from the postcard canvas - and you can safely slip a striped bill under his neck.

And in the third case - We roll up candle tubes from paper. Glue them edgewise to the card. And into each tube we put a banknote rolled into a narrow roll.

These are the original ideas for New Year's cards that I found for you during these holidays.

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 leaves 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, decorate 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.

Easy New Year cards with a 3 year old child

The most common option is drawing with children's palms; it looks both beautiful and stylish. And besides, kids like it so much; they are ready to enjoy creative activities for hours, because they are learning about the world. And we are at the same time with them.

You can draw with your fingers, and any New Year's image:

And then decorate with sparkles and cover with shiny varnish.

Using a decorative stapler, cut out snowflakes and use them to create the composition you want.

Here are a couple more stencils for creativity.

Even ordinary lacing for finger exercises can be adapted here, and it will be fun and useful.

If you want, or maybe you are a fan of corrugated paper, or you have it lying around in your stash, use it then too.

You need to fold the sheet into an accordion shape and secure the middle with a stapler. And then fluff it up and glue the ends together or secure them with staples.

Voila, gobbledygook and glue it to the cardboard base where the bend is. Decorate with snowflakes and others and rhinestones. You can also add a sticker.

The next option will not be simple, but not difficult either. You will need scrapbooking elements specifically in the New Year theme.

It can also be flowers and leaves for decoration.

Of course, this requires your imagination and ingenuity, you can make something like this:

Here's another idea, it looks wonderful, do you like it?

The next option is no less interesting, look how Santa Claus’s cap is glued in an original way.

Here are a couple more Christmas trees, the first one is made of cardboard, and instead of a star there is a packaging bow.

This card is also given beauty by painted paper napkins and, of course, bells.

This is also a super option, I think no one will refuse such a brilliant thing.

If you like snowmen more, then here is another idea, and the forest beauty is made in the quilling style, and so is the main character. You'll have to tinker a little, but the result will please you.

If you are a needlewoman and know how to knit, then this can be useful; the child will glue the cotton pads, and you will do the rest).

In America it is customary to give a shoe like this as a gift.

Or a postcard on which a New Year's ball will be depicted; you can draw it, or you can glue it from sesal fiber.

Then make a frame from scrap paper.

Write the inscription and the souvenir will be ready. Give to the addressee.

This charm will not leave anyone indifferent, it is made of circles of multi-colored paper.

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
