Many people want to give an unusual birthday gift to their beloved mother. After all, going to a store and buying something is very simple, but less original. Therefore, one of the best options would be to make a DIY card for your mother’s birthday. Moreover, even a child can handle making an original postcard. And interesting and non-standard manufacturing methods will amaze not only the recipient, but also the manufacturer himself, because making a postcard will be no less interesting than receiving it. So, ideas for birthday cards for mom.

Manufacturing steps

Choose colors for making cake tiers. You should not take monochromatic and gloomy colors; it is better to use many different colorful and positive colors. Cut out the tiers of the cake, and be sure to think about how many tiers the sweet greeting on paper will have, because this is very important, because you shouldn’t make the cake too voluminous, but you also don’t need to make less than three tiers. Don’t forget to leave a border of paper about one centimeter long around the edges so that the cake can stick to the cardboard. You should leave the side and bend it in the direction in which the cake will be attached to the cardboard.
Cut out the candle for the cake and the decoration on the cake itself. It is worth choosing a design that will be combined with the main decoration of the card. The candle can be cut out of red paper and glued yellow in the middle, this will enhance the feeling of fire and the candle will look more realistic. Such a homemade craft - a postcard for mom - will look festive and will increase the holiday atmosphere and lift everyone's spirits.
Choose cardboard for the background. It is necessary to use pastel colors for the postcard. Blue, pink, and other not bright, but festive colors are perfect for this purpose.
After these steps, you need to glue the tiers of the cake in the correct location. Design and decorate the card as you wish. You can write your wishes on the side.

Beautiful card for your beloved mother's birthday

In order to create such an unusually beautiful card you will need:

double-sided cardboard coated white;
paper with poems, maybe with notes, with an aging effect;
- artificial leaves and flowers;
— two round stickers with congratulatory inscriptions;
- blue ribbon;
- colored sequins;
— a sticker or pre-printed inscription “Congratulations!”;
- pencil, scissors, ruler, double-sided tape, glue.

Let's get to work.

We make the base of the card from white cardboard, maintaining this size or cutting it to the desired size. Then fold the sheet in half.

Next, you need to make the key element - the envelope. You can use the diagram according to which this envelope is made (the diagram was taken from the Internet), or you can find a more complex option. The envelope is made of paper with an aging effect. If you can’t find such paper, you can take a regular sheet of paper, print beautiful poems on it and age it with tea or coffee.
We paste the finished envelope onto the postcard, on the front side, slightly diagonally, decorate it with several stickers or inscriptions; beautiful stamps can be a beautiful addition. To make everything look beautiful and neat, we use double-sided tape for gluing.
We fill the envelope at our discretion with flowers and leaves of different colors, decorate with sequins. Sequins are secured with glue.
We make a bow from the ribbon and secure it with tape under the envelope.
At the bottom we paste the inscription “Congratulations!” a beautiful and unusual souvenir is ready! We sign the card and give it to our beloved mother.

In conclusion, I would like to note that in your postcard, made with your own hands for your beloved mother, the most important thing is not the paper, ribbons or rhinestones, and not even the wishes that you write on the spread of the card. The most important thing is your sincere desire to please your mother, to show care and attention!

Craft materials

First of all, we will fasten two fairly thick sheets of paper together with tape. They should open like a book - inside we will place wishes or kind words.

Fold or glue two sheets of paper

We will paste the top sheet onto a white paper base so that it peeks out from under it.

Glue the background sheet onto the paper backing

And we roll up the edges of this sheet slightly, trying to make it look natural.

Roll up the edge

We get the base of the card, the upper part of which has an aging effect.

Postcard base

We arm ourselves with a ruler and tear off a piece of paper with a different, darker design.

Fragment with a darker pattern

We make its edges uneven, carefully tearing it off along the perimeter.

Making the edges jagged

In the same way, we tear off another fragment, a larger one, and a piece of decorative mesh.

Three different fragments

We assemble our composition, consisting of several paper layers, between which a mesh is placed.

Assembling the composition

We decorate the product with lace.

Glue the lace napkin

And we bring it to perfection using decorative flowers and nylon ribbons.

Flowers and ribbons

To make the card more elegant, we tie two types of ribbons - we use the white one as the base, and tie a soft pink one on top of it.

Ribbons

We complement the composition with a narrow satin ribbon, leaves, flowers and a monogram.

Decorating a postcard

We get a charming bouquet that looks especially impressive against the background of “aged” paper.

a sheet of thick white paper for the base;
scrap paper for decoration;
2 strips of lace;
butterfly and flower preparations;
durable cord;

First of all, a blank for the future postcard is cut out of white paper and folded in half. Its cover will be decorated with an equal-sized piece of scrap paper with a discreet pattern. If desired, you can blur it slightly or add other interesting effects.
After the scrap paper is glued on top of the cover, using a hole punch you will be able to create a hole in the upper left corner of the future product.

Postcard with pompoms

An interesting and original way to make a postcard is the method with pompoms. To do this, you need to have, in addition to all of the above, pompons, which can be made manually from wool threads, or you can take ready-made ones. Such a postcard will not only look beautiful, attractive and cute in appearance, but will also be very tactilely pleasant for everyone. You can take such a postcard, touch it, if your mood is in decline, and it will immediately begin to rise.

Sequence of creating a postcard

Select pom-poms so that they are similar in color and have similar tones.
Next, you need to glue the pompoms onto the paper so that they form an “ice cream”; you need to glue them closer to the top of the card.
Cut out the horn itself from paper, it can be of any color, the tone of the horn will not affect the beauty of the postcard.
Glue the cone under the pompoms to create ice cream. It should look solid, with no gaps between the ice cream and the cone.
We decorate the postcard with inscriptions, drawings and wishes. Without such things, the card will remain unfinished, so you should pay special attention to this.

The main thing is to put your soul into making or choosing a gift, then whatever the gift is, the recipient will like it, and the sender will not be left without well-deserved gratitude.

I would like to note that if you want to surprise your mother even more and make her birthday unforgettable, then you should not limit yourself to postcards alone. You need to use your imagination, think about what else can be made from the materials you have at home. You can, for example, make congratulatory flags, a firecracker or some other similar holiday attributes, and don’t forget about delicious dishes to make your birthday a great success.

Card in the shape of flowers made of paper

An extraordinary approach to making such a postcard will definitely be appreciated. After all, women have always loved flowers, and if you make a card in the shape of flowers, it will be a magnificent sight; such a gift will never go unnoticed. There is no need to rush when making such a postcard, because the more carefully the work is done, the more interest it will arouse among those present. And thanks to its simple structure, this work is suitable even for the youngest children.

Applique technique

Applique is cutting out and gluing various figures onto a base.

Even kids can make a postcard using the appliqué technique. You can cut out the necessary elements using a template. First, create a composition on the table, and then glue the parts to the background one by one.

A simple, but no less interesting method is tear-off appliqué. Pieces of colored paper are torn from a large bush and create an image with ragged edges. Interesting works come from magazine pages.

A more complicated option is a volumetric applique. The postcard will have a 3D effect.

First you need

Cut out three circles from paper. It is necessary to cut as carefully as possible. The colors for the circles should be pastel tones, but not too pale, otherwise the work will not be successful.
Now we need to cut out three more circles, but smaller ones - this way we will make the inside of the flower. You need to choose the distance so that the flower is of the desired proportion and nothing catches your eye.
Cut out three more circles of the smallest size; they will be the centers of our flower. These circles must be selected based on the size of the flowers. You can make all three flowers of different sizes - from small to large.
Next, you should choose a background for the vase of flowers. Again, you should not use a bright background; it is better to have a pastel color.
Now you need to cut out the stems for the flowers; it is better to take strips 15 centimeters long and one and a half centimeters wide. It is necessary to take, of course, green color, fold these legs in half in width.
Glue the flower circles on top of each other, from large to small. Then glue the stems of the flowers to the flowers themselves. Again, it is necessary to do the work efficiently and carefully so that the stems of the flowers do not peel off from the flowers themselves.
Now you need to take the flowers and glue them to the paper in the form of a bouquet. You don’t need to glue them too widely, you shouldn’t leave them unglued, because then the young author’s creation can crumble right in front of the guests.
After all this, you need to cut out a vase from colored paper; you can choose the color yourself. Once the vase is cut out, you can glue it on.

Such a card will cheer up your mother, the feeling of the holiday will be greatly enhanced, flowers will decorate any celebration and will never go unnoticed.

If you want to repeat any of the above, then you shouldn’t be afraid that you won’t like the gift, because if the gift is made with soul, then your mother will definitely appreciate it. You should never neglect homemade gifts, because purchased ones, no matter how good and expensive they are, will never replace such gifts.
