What will be required

In order for you to have a beautiful card with your own hands for the Teacher's Day, you need to prepare the following:

• Cardboard and paper (designer, for scrapbooking, color, mother-of-pearl, embossed, metallized, patterned, self-adhesive, velvet).
• Pencil and eraser.
• Ruler.
• Scissors and clerical knife.
• Glue (even better thermo gun).
• Stencils of leaves, petals for flowers.
• Ready-made greeting inscriptions (if you have ugly handwriting).
• Figured scissors and punches for the decoration of the edges of parts, stamping tools (if available).
• Decorative elements (satin ribbons, lace, beads, sequins, volumetric stickers).

Scrapbooking

In this technique, you can make very effective postcards to the Teacher's Day with your own hands. The sequence of work will be as follows:

1. Take the sheet to make the base. Fold it in half.
2. Cut out the colored leaves on the stencils.
3. Make a beautiful composition of leaves, for example, placing them in the form of a bouquet or in a circle. Glue to the postcard.
4. Make petals and glue together a three-dimensional flower. Glue it to the center of the bouquet of leaves.
5. Complete the card with narrow satin ribbons.
6. Make or paste a ready-made greeting.

Silhouetted excision

In this way, you can make both flat and voluminous postcards on Teacher's Day with your own hands. The photos show examples of patterns for silhouette cutting. It is not difficult to make a postcard in this technique like this:

1. Take a rectangle of colored paper and fold it in half.
2. Apply a cutting pattern to the front.
3. Cut out the picture with a knife, spread out the card on the board or other substrate.
4. Make a rectangle with half a postcard and glue it around to make a cut out pattern on a colored background.
5. Complete the card with a congratulatory inscription cut from colored paper with leaves or flowers.

Volumetric card for Teacher's Day

Exclusive postcard can not only have a relief decor of flowers, leaves and other objects, but also be of unusual shape. Make a three-dimensional souvenir that can be put as a decoration on the table, or combine the postcard with a functional thing - make a postcard-box for the chocolate.

The product of an unusual configuration is easy to make in the form of a handbag, a bell, an open book, a bouquet of flowers. A handbag, a bell or a box for chocolate can be decorated with elements in quilling technique, with three-dimensional colors of paper, fabric or satin ribbons.

By the way, the volumetric card can do not only the decor on the front side, but also the elements located inside that are not visible when closed, and when the product opens, they form a three-dimensional shape.

The interior of the souvenir is easy to decorate with flowers made of paper, which can be both made separately and glued inside the product, and cut out in the form of silhouettes and warp. In the second case, it is better to glue the postcard from two layers so that the holes in the pattern are blind, and the delicate carvings are on the contrasting background of the decorative sheet.

Design on the computer

If you are at least a little able to work with a photo editor on a computer, make the teacher an exclusive postcard with his photo and images of objects related to the school subject that he teaches. The postcard can be printed on double-sided paper, so it's also good to design the interior where the text will be. By the way, if it's hard for you to create a postcard from scratch, download the appropriate template variant and modify it.

As you can see, the card itself can be made in different ways by the Teacher's Day. Choose your favorite idea and embody it in the form of a pleasant festive souvenir.
