NEW YEAR CARD WITH CHRISTMAS TREE INSIDE

Send

We all perfectly remember the magical children's books in which there are three-dimensional images. Why not use this technique to make New Year's cards?

In the presence of a small amount of time, simple devices and using simple tricks, you can get an amazing New Year's panorama card with a voluminous internal image of a Christmas tree.
To translate this idea into reality, you need to have the following materials at hand: thick double-sided colored cardboard, glossy corrugated cardboard, strips of quilling paper, colored paper, double-sided tape, glue, pencil, ruler, scissors and beautiful decorative trifles (half beads, sparkles, buttons and etc.).

Creating a New Year’s panorama card with a three-dimensional internal image of the Christmas tree takes place in three main stages: making the base, decorating the inside, decorating the outside.

Base manufacture

The basis of the voluminous New Year's card will consist of two parts of A-4 format - two-sided color cardboard of a bright (preferably red) shade and a sheet of colored paper of light gray color. Both parts must be carefully folded in half.

Interior design

The highlight of this New Year's card is a voluminous inner tree, very simple to manufacture. On the "wrong" part of a sheet of colored paper, we apply an image of a star and transverse stripes of different widths, forming an isosceles triangle. Then we fold the part in half and make cuts along the lines.

Now the two parts of the base can be carefully glued together, applying glue around the perimeter of the parts. As for the Christmas tree, glue should be applied to every second strip.

Above and below inside the card, in parallel, glue two strips of quilling paper of the same shade as the outer part of the product. We decorate the top strip with decorative elements of our choice.

Now it remains only to carefully bend the non-glued elements of the Christmas tree, which will stand out very favorably, contrasting with the bright outer layer of the card.

The design of the outer part

To decorate the outer part of the postcard, you will need a rectangle of white cardboard, 1.5 cm shorter and narrower than the outer part. We glue it first, and then glue two strips of red quilling paper to its upper part.

In the middle of the white rectangle with the help of a compass or an object of appropriate shape at hand, draw a circle and glue it around the perimeter with double-sided tape. Glossy green corrugated cardboard is cut into small rectangles (approximately 1 × 1.5 cm), which are glued in the shape of a circle. The result is a wonderful New Year's wreath.
The final touch is a flirty bow between strips of quilling paper, topped with a decorative bead or button. That's all - the card is ready.
