Step 1
The easiest way to make handmade Christmas cards is to buy a card maker kit. It contains several sheets of decorative cardboard and paper, silk ribbons, rhinestones, beads and other decor. By purchasing such a set, you will make a lot of New Year's cards, saving yourself from the problem - the selection of material to match. Buy pastel paper with the kit. Choose a higher density. This will be the basis for your postcards. Make a New Year's applique out of paper. Let it be Christmas toys, Christmas trees, snowmen. Stick them on the base, decorate with rhinestones, decorative ribbons, make inscriptions with helium pens.

Apply acrylic paint with a sponge. Wait for the paint to dry. On top, apply with a sponge, slightly highlighting individual areas, gold paint. After the paint is dry, decorate the card with a bow.

The largest strip will be 10 cm by 1.5 cm. Then cut the strips along the contour of the Christmas tree. Each next strip will be shorter than the previous one. And so on to the top of the improvised Christmas tree. Place the strips on the front of the card. Draw the outline of the card's borders and snowflakes around the tree. Make an inscription.
