Let's talk about how to make a three-dimensional postcard from paper or cardboard with your own hands using scissors and colored paper. Regular postcards from stores have long ceased to be perceived as a gift. It is much nicer to receive a postcard that is made by yourself. Even if it’s a piece of cardboard folded in half with an inscription inside, it’s already nice. But it’s much more interesting to give unusual cards to your family and friends. There are many techniques on how to make a postcard in an unusual style at minimal cost and quickly enough.
If you want to make a beautiful postcard from cardboard and paper, but at the same time move away from the standard of a two-dimensional product, use a simple technique and make three-dimensional postcards like panoramic books.
How to make a three-dimensional card from paper
Making a voluminous card of this type with your own hands is not at all difficult, but try to start with the simplest option: a postcard with voluminous gifts inside.
You will need thick beige and red cardboard, colored paper and multi-colored ribbons, various decorative elements (beads, rhinestones, sparkles) and stationery items for needlework.
You can make a card for a birthday or any other holiday by simply adding an inscription in the corner to the standard version. To start, just fold your cardboard one in half (it can be any size). Use a ruler to make an even bend.
Cut out a rectangle from red cardboard, 1.5 centimeters smaller on each side than the beige base. When two rectangles are superimposed, a kind of beige frame should remain.
Of course, you can make a beautiful card with any combination of colors, not just those suggested in the example. Fold the red cardboard in half with the colored side facing inward. Right on the fold you need to draw three rectangles, or rather half of them. Each should be larger than the previous one, try sizes 4-3 centimeters, 3-2 and 2-2 to start.
Cut only the horizontal lines, leave the vertical line intact.
Now push the resulting rectangles inside.
All that remains is to make the voluminous card elegant and festive. Cover the protruding rectangles with colored paper, leftover wrapping paper, glue on beads and bows from ribbons, make them look like gift boxes.
All that remains is to glue the red cardboard to the beige one and make an inscription. Instead of writing by hand, you can make a collage of letters from the pages of newspapers and magazines. This is one of the easiest ways to make a postcard.
If you know how to draw beautifully or really want to master paints, try making an artistic card.
To make a postcard with your own hands in the style of painting, you will need: two high-density white sheets, paints, brushes, a butterfly template, a pencil and glue. On the first sheet, make colored patterns in an abstract style, you can draw a rainbow or entrust it to a child. The task is to create colorful madness with a cheerful mood on the sheet.
DIY birthday card
You can make a birthday card this way even with a small child. Leave the sheet to dry and proceed to the main drawing. Fold the second sheet in half. Make blue stains on the outside, it is better if they are translucent.
You can make a beautiful card with this background if you add more water to the paint. Try using a large brush or even a smooth sponge. When the background is dry, draw a tree branch with thin pencil lines.
Let there be very few small side branches on it, create only contours. Once you have the desired shape, paint the branch with a thin brush using different shades of brown.
To make your greeting card pop, you'll need to grab that first sheet of flower splashes. On it, draw the outlines of butterflies according to the template, and then cut them out. Choose a butterfly template that has a pronounced middle, body. Fold the wings of the blanks upward, apply glue to the middle and glue them to the branches of your tree.
This is a great way to make a card with flowers, balloons and other “ ” symbols. Experiment with different coloring techniques: try applying a pattern to paper with a wax candle, use a toothbrush to create splashes, create a gradient with soft foam and your card will turn out unforgettable. 
You can make a postcard with your own hands using a more complex technique. In any craft or arts and crafts store you can find unusual products that you have probably never even heard of. If you make a birthday card with such details, the birthday person will certainly appreciate the effort and originality. Try to master several modern techniques at once.
How to make a beautiful card
To make a beautiful card, take gold openwork stickers with a pattern and just frame ones (long stripes), white and pink cardboard, pink handmade paper (it is thin and has an interesting texture), a sharp knife or scalpel (sold in pharmacies), and stationery items. Making a greeting card from these materials is much easier than it seems. 
A rectangle made of pink cardboard with side dimensions of 7 and 12 centimeters. Use the tip of a knife to separate the sticker from the base. It will curl up, but after a few seconds it will begin to straighten out on its own - this is a feature of decorative gold. When the shape is restored, place it on the rectangle and smooth it out with your fingers, pressing lightly.
Use a pencil to make outlines at a distance of a few millimeters from the edge of the sticker. These should be smooth lines that repeat the motif of the sticker. Using a scalpel or knife, cut out the drawn figure. Cut the white cardboard to the size you like best, and then fold it in half in the middle, like a regular postcard.
Take a square of handmade paper of such a size that it is slightly smaller than half the postcard. Tear off the edges a few millimeters directly with your fingers, creating the effect of negligence. Apply a thin layer of glue onto the paper (spray glue is most convenient). Glue the paper to the front of your card and press lightly.
Glue pink cardboard with a sticker on top of it. Make a frame from the remaining stickers and the card is ready.
On the eve of the celebration of someone dear to your heart, you want to give a gift that would impress and leave pleasant memories. We suggest making voluminous postcards with your own hands, they are also called pop-up postcards. What are these wonderful postcards?! At first glance, these are ordinary postcards, but when you open them, a three-dimensional figure or an entire composition suddenly appears in front of you! Such cards will not leave anyone indifferent! Especially if they are original and keep the warmth of your hands!
DIY cards with flowers inside
Even a child can make a heart-shaped card with a three-dimensional flower inside:
YOU WILL NEED IT
We make both simple and complex creation technologies.
A lush flower for the inside or outside of a card can be made from colored or even plain paper painted with watercolors or pastel crayons. You can cut flowers using this template:
Print out the flower template and color it with paints. Fold it according to the marked fold lines and glue the resulting flower onto the base of the card.
Such a lush and bright card with flowers inside, made with your own hands, will undoubtedly delight the recipient.
He explains how to make it in his master class. TheJulianaHappy:
The option with delicate, pastel colors looks very cute. Making stamens for flowers is not difficult!
The original master class is in English, so for your convenience we offer a brief translation of the process of creating this flower card.
Standard materials and tools: colored paper, cardboard, scissors, glue, plastic to imitate glass in a window.
Take thick colored paper and fold it in half. Cut out a square window in one half.
We make a frame from colored paper of a different color. The glass for the window can be made from a protective film for your phone or transparent plastic. Glue the resulting window frame to the base of the postcard. You can do without “glass” at all.
Glue it into the hole
We glue a flower pot out of cardboard and glue it in the middle of the card on the fold line. Glue the sides of the resulting pot together so that when you close the card, the pot folds up.
Next, from colored paper we cut out green stems and all kinds of bright flowers: crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips. Perhaps your bouquet will not be spring, but summer, which means that cornflowers, daisies, pansies, etc. will appear.
Glue the flowers into the pot
The height of the flowers should be such that they do not stick out from the card, but are visible through the window!
The window can be decorated with a cozy curtain.
Original master class
Using the same principle, you can make a card with flowers from felt or painted cotton pads. Additionally, insert a laconic but warm congratulation along with the flowers!
In addition to flowers, balloons, stars, and bows may appear from the card.
How to make a panoramic flower card along with a congratulatory envelope shows in his master class TheWorkshop:
We take thick paper - the basis for our postcard. Create a rectangle in the center of the fold line of the card. The width of the rectangle is 3 cm, length is 7 cm.
We make cuts along the pink lines with a stationery knife. Then we fold the resulting rectangle inside the postcard. We attach the base of the card to another sheet, b O larger in size than the original base.
Then we make a floral design: a flower pot, the flowers themselves, fluttering butterflies and grass. We combine all this and glue it to the front of our postcard.
Original master class.
Using the same technique, you can make an original vase postcard. You can also make flowers in such vases with your own hands from paper or other available materials.
We bring to your attention a master class on making a very delicate three-dimensional card, which will not only congratulate the recipient, but will also fit perfectly into the interior of, for example, a children's room.
First we make a box frame. To do this, take thick blue paper and cut out a template for the box from it. We fold the edges of the template 4 times, 5 mm on each side, thereby forming a frame. Glue the resulting frames together.
On top of them we glue colored or scrap paper in a color that matches your composition.
Next, we will prepare the elements of the future composition. Glue together a balloon from paper circles. We fold the circles in half and glue them together. The waxed cord is glued into the base of the basket and directly into the circles, forming a ball.
We cut out clouds from scrap paper and a sun from yellow paper. Glue the elements of the composition into a frame. We glue the balloon as follows: we glue the base of the balloon with bulk tape, and the balloon itself with glue. We glue the clouds using the same principle: one with glue, the other with bulk tape.
We make green grass from a simple napkin. First we cut it, then glue it. On the right side of the box we glue a tree made using a hole punch for Scrapbooking. The final touch is to glue serpentine, butterflies and a congratulatory inscription into the empty spaces! We glue a ribbon with embroidery or lace to the bottom of the box. The original three-dimensional postcard is ready!

3D postcards using Kirigami technique
Kirigami is the art of cutting and folding figures and cards from paper. This is the main difference between Kirigami and other paper folding techniques and is emphasized in the name: “kiru” - cut, “kami” - paper. The founder of this trend is the Japanese architect Masahiro Chatani.
For production, sheets of paper or thin cardboard are used, which are cut and folded. Unlike traditional 3D postcards, these paper models are usually cut and folded from a single sheet of paper. Most often, three-dimensional models of architectural buildings, geometric patterns and various everyday objects, etc. are developed.
It’s better to start with a simple three-dimensional DIY birthday card. For example, using thick paper of two contrasting colors, you can make a birthday cake card:
To make it, use this template:
Using various templates, you can make more complex cake cards:
He explains how to make a kirigami cake in his master class. OksanaHnativ:
Using this technique, you can cut out various congratulatory inscriptions. The cake can be decorated and colored to your liking.
To create it, take this template:
White embossed paper will also make an impressive postcard:
By combining two mirror “cake” parts cut from different sheets, you can make a whole three-dimensional cake in a postcard!
Use the following template:
There are a lot of options for creating voluminous postcards! Cut and fold your paper masterpieces!
Volumetric postcards using scrapbooking technique
Scrapbooking is the art of decorating photo albums, but its techniques are also very popular when creating cards.
Using Kirigami elements, using the Scrapbooking technique, you can also make a three-dimensional postcard with your own hands. We cut out and fold “steps” from scrap paper for the “pop-up” candles on the second half of the card. Glue the candles and glue the resulting blank onto the base of the card.
You can make a simple but original greeting card from scrap or colored paper. We cut out the candle flame and decorate it with sparkles, then glue it to 2-sided tape. We glue the second part of the candle with glue. The congratulation itself can be tied or glued to an elegant satin ribbon. Simple and original!
A postcard made from paper of a different texture will look completely different)
By placing each element of the card on top of each other, again using double-sided tape, you can create such a voluminous, bright cake!
Let's take a look at Tatyana Sadomskaya's master class on how to easily make a voluminous, delicate postcard using the Scrapbooking technique using ready-made pictures.
To create such a postcard, Tatyana used:
- scrap set ScrapBerry’s “Favorite Pet”
- scissors
- thick cardboard
It is better to use scrap paper with a large number of miniatures that can be cut from a single sheet, as well as colored stamp prints and chipboards.
Before creating a postcard, you need to decide on its plot in order to choose the color of the base of the postcard and its “characters”. In this case, the basis is paper with a calm beige print, and the components of the plot are cut out of it: kittens, a puppy, flowers, a crown on a pillow.
Don’t forget to decide before starting this work what will be in the foreground and what will be behind it!
In our case, we put the larger kitten in the foreground, this will enhance the feeling that it is closer than kittens with a dog.
We make the necessary cuts. The result is a design with “steps”. We glue leaves of arbitrary size onto the resulting “steps”. These leaves imitate a wooden fence.
Next, we gradually glue our elements, starting from near to far. We start from the foreground and glue the kitten. We glue it onto beer cardboard, because it gives additional volume and casts a shadow. Using the same principle, you can glue several other elements, for example, balls and flowers. When the inside is ready, glue it to the base of the card.
We also decorate the outside of the card with an elegant floral print.
For greater elegance, decorate the elements of the card with sparkles (use glitter).

Volumetric postcards-dioramas
We present to your attention a master class on making a 3D postcard - a small three-dimensional scene. On such a stage, everyone can place various fancy figures and decorations)
To make a postcard, we take 4 sheets of thick cardboard, in this case we take cardboard in four shades of orange. You can choose colors to suit your taste.
On sheets of cardboard, draw the outline of the frames with a pencil and cut them out. Make the frame outline 1 cm wide.
From the remaining fragments of paper we cut out two strips, each measuring 10 by 4 cm. We line each one into 4 parts of 1 cm each. We cut off all the corners of the resulting strips. Fold the strips along the lines to form a paper zigzag. These zigzag pieces will support the diorama fragments. Glue the zigzags to the frame on both sides.
Glue the second frame clearly along the line on the other side of the zigzag.
The top of the zigzag should cover one side of the frame. The same must be done with the opposite side. Thus, the first scene of the diorama is ready!
Using the same principle, we make the remaining frames of the diorama.
It's better to decorate each of the frames (especially the last one) in advance than to try to squeeze decor into the finished card.
The back wall does not have to be solid; you can make a transparent diorama without a back wall.
Decorate not only the “wall” of the diorama, but also each frame. Use more voluminous decorations, such as beads, bows, feathers, ribbons, etc. This will make the card seem more voluminous and will enhance the 3D effect!
Original master class.
You can come up with absolutely any plot! Create your own little theater!
For example, the waiting Assol!
Or a hot air balloon in fluffy clouds.
Bright meadow with lupine and butterflies!
Birdhouse with birds and flowers:
Accordion postcard (diagrams and templates)
Another type of voluminous postcard is the accordion postcard.
To create such a postcard you will need: thick scrap paper for the base frame, a die-cut scrap knife or stationery knife, transparent plastic for the internal parts, stamens, semi-pearls and other materials for decoration.
We take the template and make blanks for the postcard. We cut out 8 blanks for the base frame from thick scrap paper and 4 from transparent plastic.
Thick paper blank...
...and transparent plastic
We glue the plastic blanks to a paper base. To make the card fold, we make a double crease of about 2 mm on the outer folds. We connect the resulting 4 parts - glue them with glue or use 2-sided tape. Glue the remaining 4 frames on the opposite side.
Now you can begin the most creative part of creating a card - decorating it! Glue fluttering butterflies and twisted greenery to the plastic. The postcard is ready!
Original master class
See below for various templates for making the bases of such postcards:
Using your imagination, you can create all sorts of variants of such folding postcards. For example, with a predominance of children's themes. The number of components may vary.
Birds, flowers, butterflies always look very light and airy on postcards!
Postcards for all occasions

YOU'LL LIKE IT!
Let's give, and sometimes for no reason at all! 🙂
Sometimes, in a handicraft impulse, you want to make something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer again, I decided to put together a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and small descriptions of how to make this or that postcard.
I tried to select as many different images as possible, both in style and theme, so that there was plenty to choose from. Of course, each postcard is just an example of how you can make postcards with your own hands.
To mom
How to make a card for mom? It’s clear that it should be the most beautiful and touching, but I want some specifics, right? The first thing you need to do is focus on the reason, it could be:- an unplanned card for no reason;
- Mother's Day or March 8;
- New Year's and Christmas;
- birthday or name day;
- professional holidays.
Of course, no one can stop you from making and giving your mom a postcard dedicated to the first snow or even the release of your favorite TV series, but in general, the main reasons are indicated quite clearly.
A New Year's card for mom can be ordinary (from the point of view of New Year's greetings, of course), it is not necessary to somehow emphasize the special relationship. But a birthday or Mother's Day are special holidays on which it is worth presenting a personal card with the signature “To my beloved mother.”
How to make a birthday card for mom? Sketch out a sketch with a simple pencil, add a little color to get an idea of the color scheme and understand what shades you will need as you work. So, you need to buy or find in the bins:
- a blank for your needlework (thick and thin cardboard is suitable);
- background image - it can be scrap paper, colored paper, any sheet that you like with its ornament, or you can simply artistically splash paint on a sheet of white thick paper or even use monotype and marbling techniques;
- chipboard for inscription - it is better to purchase a ready-made one or use a special stapler to decorate the edge;
- a couple of decorative elements - flowers, butterflies, beads and leaves;
- one or two large decorative elements - flowers or bows;
- decorative tape;
- good glue;
- scalloped ribbon or lace.
First you need to glue the background image to the blank, then arrange large flowers, and only then complement the resulting composition with small decor and lace. Dry the finished work well, decorate it with small decorations and sparkles, and then sign it - mom will be happy with such a sign of attention.
Now you know how to make a card for Mother's Day, and you can easily figure out what a card for an anniversary or angel's day should be like.
Another original option: the essence is that you need to cut out circles from colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist it into a bud, you will get cute flowers with which you can decorate a postcard.
To dad
A DIY birthday card for dad is always very touching and sweet. Choosing a particular "papal" theme is not too easy, but there is a wonderful straw to grab onto - style. If you make a stylish card, then the father will undoubtedly be happy to receive it, even if it does not contain the usual symbols of “masculinity,” which in our country often include cars, weapons and fishing.
Naturally, if the father is celebrating the anniversary of his driving experience, then a car on a postcard is quite appropriate, but on dad’s birthday it is better to present a neutral and beautiful greeting card.
What kind of cards do men like:
- not too colorful;
- in a calm, slightly muted palette;
- with clean lines;
- in which a lot of effort has been visually invested.
Men admire the process, so before you make a nice card using the scrapbooking technique, think about how you can put your work into the card? This can be working with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.
Incorporate a few elements of hard work and love into your work and your dad's birthday card will be stunning.
So, we make paper cards with our own hands for our beloved daddy. Start by choosing a subject - this could be some element of a male portrait - a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.
Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.
Make a pattern for the future postcard and get to work - if this is a regular applique, then cut out all the elements and carefully lay out the future composition. And in the case of artistic cutting, it is better to spend time on the pattern and drawing. By the way, for this work you will need a good breadboard knife.
After all the main elements have been cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - so that the work looked really delicate, you will need to choose shades that will highlight all the slits.
Make a central element on your card, and then put it under a press - this will help prevent the paper from deforming from the moisture contained in the glue.

Place a piece of cardboard in front of you. Take scissors and mounting tape. Cut the ribbon in half lengthwise to create thin strips. Cover the edges of the white cardboard with strips of mounting tape. Remove the protective paper from the foam.
Step 2: Stick on the confetti
Using PVA glue, glue colorful confetti into the middle of the cardboard (or cover the cardboard with glitter). Carefully tape the edges of the cardboard with decorative paper tape. Fold the edges of the decorative paper tape over the back of the cardboard.
Step 3: Attach Stickers
Attach stickers with the words you want to say to your loved one in the middle of the cardboard on the front side.
Step 4: Use scrap paper
Glue cardstock onto scrapbooking paper. The cardboard can be glued straight, or slightly diagonally - in both cases it will turn out beautifully. Your DIY postcard with confetti is ready!
