In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editors website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make something for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.

Below we have collected ideas for beautiful, original and, most importantly, “quick” New Year’s cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around the house.

Volumetric Christmas trees

Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.

Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows you how to cut them.

Penguin

We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardboard (or white paper), a triangle of orange paper and 2 miniature snowflakes that we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).

Gifts

This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces wrapping paper, which you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we recommend taking a look at this blog.

Santa Claus

A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. Red hat and pink face- these are strips of paper pasted onto a postcard or gift bag. The fur of the hat and the beard are obtained like this: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

Simple drawings

An irresistible idea in its elegance is to draw Christmas balls with patterns with a black gel pen. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else won't be difficult - stripes and squiggles that you draw when you're bored.

The same principle that underlies the postcard with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very cute.

Many, many different Christmas trees

This is where patterned paper or cardboard left over from children's crafts or wrapping paper for gifts will come in handy. The Christmas trees are sewn in the center - this is not at all necessary, you can glue them on. But if you really want to, you first need to make holes with a thick needle along a ruler, and then sew with thread in 2 rows - up and down, so that there are no gaps left. Draw a snowball with white gouache.

Laconic and stylish idea- a grove of fir trees, one of which is glued to the foam Double-sided tape(and therefore rises above the rest) and is decorated with a star.

This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do this well) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school years. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Cut out sharp scissors snowy landscape and moon and paste it on a black or dark blue background.

Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.

Hugging snowman

Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with your finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second You will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.

You will want to keep this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balloons

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbon. But balls are such a win-win option that you can allow yourself to fantasize: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from newspaper or glossy magazine. And you can simply draw the strings.

Another option is to stick paper with a pattern on the inside of the card, and cut out the outside with a sharp stationery knife circles.

Volumetric balls

For each of these balls you will need 3-4 identical circles of different colors. Fold each one in half and glue the halves to each other, and the two outer halves to the paper. Another option is colored stars or Christmas trees.

Multi-colored balls

Wonderful translucent balls are obtained using a regular eraser on a pencil. It’s worth starting with a pencil to outline the outline of the ball. Then dip the eraser into the paint and leave marks on the paper. Fun and beautiful.

Cards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also evoke subtle associations with childhood.

The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but the rest is up to you - to “hang” them on the Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls, or on newspaper clouds.

Let's get started!

1. Use atmospheric shots as backgrounds

We love New Year for the mood that creates soft warmth candles, flickering garlands, sparklers and bubbles of sparkling drinks. Postcards with atmospheric photos can create the effect of presence in one festive table. You can send this ready-made postcard warmest regards to a loved one or easily create your own. In Canva, you can upload a photo from your personal archive or choose your favorite frame from the built-in gallery of free photos.

7. Send an anti-stress card

IN last days of the passing year, many are experiencing severe anxiety: they need to have time to close all current affairs at work, complete projects, have time to buy gifts... Friends admit every now and then: “Not at all.” New Year's mood" If this sounds familiar to you, here's a tip on how to cheer your friend up. Such a New Year's card will help the recipient relax, have a good time and recharge with anticipation of New Year's miracles.

13. Don't forget about the symbol of the year

By Chinese calendar The symbol of the coming 2020 will be the White Metal Rat. Even if you do not intend to strictly follow all the recommendations of the eastern horoscope, you can use the symbol of the year in your design. You'll find dozens of different cute animal images in the Canva Art Gallery.

20. Accentuate details with foil

This option will definitely appeal to those who like to print out emotional photos and hang them on a mood board. Take it into account if your friends are like that, and your 2019 with them was very cool. Let the postcard say so. The New Year promises to be even better - we found out!

23. Make New Year's cards scented

Here we're not just talking about the phantom tangerine smell that we think you'll get as soon as you see the following pattern. You can literally make the card scented, just like scented love messages were sent in the 19th century. A drop essential oil tangerine or fir will make your card even more pleasant for the recipient. But be careful: apply just a little oil at the ends so as not to spoil appearance cards, and make sure the recipient is not allergic to citrus fruits or pine needles.

25. Admit that Santa Claus does not exist.

We really hope that this point did not destroy your reality, and we sincerely regret if this did happen right now. But we are confident that every person is capable of creating their own fairy tale at any age. Sometimes a cute card is enough for this.
