DIY men's birthday card. DIY postcard for your beloved man on his birthday

A card for the person you are dating or married to is a great gift that reflects your best feelings for him. And to convey these feelings to at its best, such an item in the form of a gift for a relationship or wedding anniversary, for a birthday or for another holiday must be created with your own hands.

Postcard for a relationship anniversary or wedding with your own hands

If you are already celebrating holidays with your loved one, such as a wedding anniversary or a relationship, you probably have a lot of photographs that capture the most beautiful moments that evoke a storm of positive emotions. All these photo cards can be used to create an incredibly romantic postcard.

The first thing you need is double-sided cardboard. You must determine its color, but it will be better to choose something bright or light. It should be folded in half to form a booklet shape.

The next step is to decorate with photographs suitable for a relationship anniversary or wedding. In order not to spoil the finished photo cards, it is better to print new ones. Important condition– your images should be small so that they can fit on cardboard. It is not necessary to try to cut out your images without a background, because without it they may not look harmonious.

Before pasting a photo over the cover, you need to write in the middle something like the sentence “Happy day, my love!”, and then place the photo around the inscription. Next, we write some congratulatory text on the first page. On the second page we attach a photo with your image cut out in the shape of a heart.

If you feel like there are too many spaces left, you can fill them in with hearts different colors from colored paper. And now, the gift for your wedding anniversary or relationship is ready!

DIY birthday card for your loved one

DIY certificate postcard – interesting option. Your loved one is unlikely not to be happy with such a gift!

The basis will be double-sided cardboard, which should be folded in the shape of a book. Its color is your choice. On the cover you need to place multi-colored envelopes under numbers. Convenient option– make nine envelopes, three in a row.

Making envelopes is simple - take a small rectangular piece of paper, put it in a vertical position and make three folds, dividing it into three equal parts. We bend the lower part inward and glue it on the sides to the middle one. We bend the upper part down and use scissors to make a triangle so that the fold line is the base. Attach the resulting envelope.

You need to put hearts in the envelopes to represent certificates. On the first page we write a congratulation, and on the second we indicate the purpose of the certificates by numbers. For example, certificate No. 1 is a kiss, certificate No. 2 is cooking a delicious preferred dish.

Universal DIY voluminous postcard for boyfriend

Such a voluminous card can be given to a guy for his birthday or any other occasion.

Take A4 size cardboard and fold it in half. It is advisable to choose a color that is not dark or red.

The cover can feature you and your dear person from various parts. Clothes are made from colorful pieces of fabric, arms, hair and legs can be created from woolen threads, and other parts of the body are easily made from paper. A suitable background is a huge heart. Don’t forget to write something like the phrase “Happy Birthday, dear!” above.

From red paper you need to cut out a heart that will fit inside the card, draw a face on it and glue handles to it. Palms need to be glued to inside. The three-dimensional postcard is ready!

It's always difficult to come up with a gift for a man... Let's try to surprise him with this shirt and tie using the origami technique.

DIY postcard in the form of a shirt and tie

This postcard can be used as an envelope for money or to write congratulations on back side. It is perfect for any occasion - Father's Day, brother's or grandfather's birthday, February 23rd. Instead of a tie, you can tie a bow tie or a headband. This postcard is very easy to make and takes about 10 minutes.

For work we will need:

  • colored cardboard or A4 paper, choose the color according to your taste or the taste of the birthday boy
  • bright ribbon.

Place the paper face down and fold the vertical edges toward the middle. The folds must be symmetrical and even.

We unfold the edges back and bend the upper corners inward along the fold line. Be sure to make sure the corners are turned evenly.

We fold the same corners in half inward. Try to make the correct fold right away; several folds in one place will not add beauty to the card.

Continue folding along the resulting fold line. top part paper down. The resulting triangles along the edges will be the sleeves of the future shirt.

We turn the paper over to the other side with the “sleeves” down and fold down a strip from the top along the width of the taken ribbon.

Turn the paper over to the other side and make a collar, folding it top corners to the middle.

Unfold the resulting collar, insert a ribbon at the fold and fold it back. Straighten and align the ribbon.

We fold the bottom of the paper upward, under the collar and tie a tie.

DIY greeting card for a man Tuxedo

Let's not waste precious time looking for an interesting and original birthday card, but make it ourselves. Moreover, it is not difficult at all and only takes 10 minutes!

The theme of our postcard will be a traditional men's jacket - a tuxedo.

For work we will need:

  • paper of only two colors: white and black;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • a pair of small white buttons.

Prepare necessary materials so that everything you need is at hand.

Fold the blank under the card in half. Now you need to cut out a piece of black paper that is the right size for the front of the card.

Divide the black rectangle vertically in half and choose the depth of the cut to your taste. Step back 1.5-2 cm from the edges at the top and connect the lines with a ruler. Glue the rest to the card base. Cut a triangle from the black paper.

From the black triangle, cut off the excess, and in the end we will get a butterfly bow.

Glue the bow to the card.

The final step is gluing the buttons.

Beautiful card DIY shirt for a man’s birthday

Another simple idea for a men's card in the form of a shirt and tie.

Fold a piece of paper in half as shown in the picture. Make two cuts with different sides and fold the cut corners.

Cut out a tie from a different color of paper and glue it onto the card. You can also make a bow tie. Glue the corners of the collar of the resulting shirt, attach the buttons.

You can use any accessory that matches the size of the button. Don't use buttons that are too big, it will look bulky.

Postcard Ties

Such a card with ties can be made for any men's holiday and for any man - husband, dad, grandfather, brother. It will take a little time, about 20-30 minutes.

Necessary:

  • several matching shades of paper;
  • scissors;
  • paper glue and, preferably, hot glue;
  • wire;
  • pliers.

We use wire to make a hanger shape. To do this, bend the wire into a triangle with the end sticking out from above. We bend the hook at the end and twist the remaining edge at the base of the hook. Align all the parts so that the hanger looks neat.

We cut out several ties from paper. Of course, it will be more interesting if they are different colors and textures.

We bend the ties, place them on a hanger and glue them together.

We bend the cardboard in half for the base of the card, if desired, glue an additional background, the background color should be light shade so that the ties do not get lost against its background. Using hot glue, attach the hanger. We sign the card beautifully after it dries.

Original gift packaging for a man

We take for work:

  • white cardboard;
  • black paper;
  • scissors;
  • glue stick.

Creating a package will take 20 minutes. Let's start with the diagram.

In this master class I will show you how to easily and simply make a very beautiful men's card!

Men's postcard - master class

To make such a masculine card we will need:

1) A sheet of cardboard 30*15 cm, folded in half

2) Two paper blanks 14*14 cm for the inside and outside

3) Main drawing postcards (I have a car) + inscription

4) Materials for decoration (key, button and two leaves)

5) Shaped hole punch

6) Thin double-sided tape or glue stick

7) Thermal gun or glue moment

8) Scissors

9) Piece sandpaper or a nail file.

First, use sandpaper to erase the edges of the inscription.

We do the same with a piece of paper, which will be the background of our postcard.

Using tape or crayon, glue the paper for the background and inner part postcards on blank cardboard.

Using a figured hole punch we make a beautiful edge on the inscription.

Glue all the elements (picture, button, leaves, key) of the postcard to the background.

And we get a ready-made postcard for the man

My first handmade postcard

On the eve of the holidays and at the request of readers, I present to your attention a master class for beginners. We will make the first postcard with our own hands using the example of a man's postcard.

We will need:

1 sheet of cardboard A4 size

Scrapbooking paper

Scissors or cutter

Pencil

Ruler

ink pad

Twine

Double-sided tape or glue stick

First we need to make a blank for our postcard. Bend A4 cardboard in half and cut it

We get two halves

Now bend each half in half again. Two blanks for postcards are ready

Before you start creating a card, you need to make sure that all the elements in our card are combined

We cut a rectangle from scrapbooking paper slightly smaller than the workpiece, retreating 0.5 cm from each edge. If you have scraps from papers, you can use them, for example, to sew a background from squares or strips suitable friend to a friend by color

We age our pieces of paper (background paper and postcard), to do this we go along the edge with a scissors blade, sandpaper or special tool for aging edges

On each side we slightly tear the edges of the paper and bend them (I always separate upper layer with a pattern from the main one and fold it over, and leave the bottom layer as it is or carefully tear it off)

Using an ink pad Brown we tint the edges of our pieces of paper (if you don’t have an ink pad, you can)

Now we bend the postcard in several places and go over the folds with a sponge with an ink pad

Let's move on to the printed picture. First we glue it onto cardboard (for this I use 3 mm cardboard)

Then we go along the edge with sandpaper

Let's tint our picture

Let's move on to the background paper and insert brads for beauty. We slightly bend the corner of the paper and pierce a hole with an awl.

Now we first insert it into the corner itself, and then into the piece of paper

We turn our paper over and spread the two legs of the brads in different directions.

Now we glue the postcard to the background paper. We cut off the protruding edges of the postcard, then age the cuts and go over them with an ink pad

We first glue a background piece of paper to the blank, and then a picture; for beauty, you can put a stamp on the bottom or glue a congratulatory inscription, and if you have distress craquelure paint, you can paint the curved corner with it

Now let's decorate the inside a little. For this I use . We put a stamp on this paper at the bottom and glue it to the postcard.

We wrap twine around the card and tie it in one bow.

First DIY postcard ready!

Such a postcard or money envelope can be made as a gift to Men's Day, on February 23, and of course on Birthday. This example was made for Fathers Day, when shirts and ties are traditionally given as gifts. To create such beauty you will need decorative paper (can be from scrap sets).

I want to show you how you can fold a shirt using the origami technique. It turns out to be very entertaining and very easy to do. If you make the “shirt” larger, then the money will fit in there =). 1. Place the paper rectangular shape face down.Fold the 2 halves in half vertically.

2. Unfold the paper, then fold the corners at the top, centered along the fold line of the two halves. This way you will get 2 folded corners.

3. Then fold these 2 corners in half inward, along the fold line formed at the corners, continue to bend the top of the product. These triangles at the edges will be the sleeves of the shirt in the future.

4. Turn the product over, and also turn it over so that the “sleeves” are at the bottom. Then wrap the other end of the product (in my example, 7-8 mm).

5. Turn the product over again and fold the corners inward - this will be the shirt collar.

6. And now the last step: under the collar, fold the other end in half.

* You can protrude and round the collar a little, stick a thin strip of paper through, imitating a tie.

Men's frames | Templates for photos

Good day!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time stylish men's frames, i.e. for our wonderful and beloved men. Fortunately there is great selection textures and elements for this matter.

I began to draw with special trepidation. After all, the design should be special, different from women's design - elegant and discreet at the same time.


I hope it worked. And men will like my templates.

1. Denim men's frame

The texture is shabby, with metal rivets, there is very little decor - an excellent frame for men. It will be ideal for the composition if the color of the man’s clothes or eyes matches the colors of the template.

2. Sensual frame in red and brown tones

It would be ideal to take a staged photo for this template. Those. conduct a short photo session.

3. Men's frame in brown tones

More likely even in beige tones. Lightweight, casual design. The photo can be converted to sepia.

You don’t have to do color correction if there are gray colors in the photo.

I wish you to choose good photos for these photo frames.

If you liked the men's frames, then subscribe to my blog to receive updates.

Sincerely, Olga Anferova.

Women very often face this problem: how to congratulate their man on his birthday, February 23rd or Happy professional holiday. It’s not even a matter of the event, but rather what special thing you can give him. Well, imagine for a moment that this is a man you barely know: a colleague, director or distant relative. How can you surprise him if you don’t know him well? Agree, this is quite difficult and for this you need to think and try very carefully. It’s another matter if this man is a husband, brother, son, and then it’s quite difficult to guess what exactly it is preferable to get right now, so that it would be pleasant, useful, and original. A gift is a gift, but what kind of holiday is it if you don’t leave warm, sincere words with congratulations after it. And you can write such words in greeting card, which will preserve the memory of you and your attitude towards this person. Buying a ready-made card won’t pose any particular problems, but it’s better to make it by hand, it will add intrigue and some mystery to the holiday. Right now we’ll look at a couple of options for making small men’s cards using the technique. Beautiful paper, several color pictures and some other scrap materials allow you to create such wonderful cards that will surprise and delight any man.

To make men's cards you need to take:

Pictures and die cuts different shapes with men's accessories;
Epoxy stickers;
Stampings “Congratulations” and “Happy Birthday”;

Metal pendants;

Creasing cord;
Watercolor paper;
golden pillow with ink for tinting;
Ruler, double-sided tape, pencil, glue gun, scissors.

Our cards will be very small, and first of all we will cut out the bases from cardboard. First, we cut out two rectangles 12.5 * 17 cm, then we divide them in half, bend them and fold them, we get the bases 8.5 * 12.5 cm.


From watercolor paper we cut out 8.2*12.2 cm rectangles for the internal inscription. Double-sided tape glue them inside the postcards.


From scrap paper we cut out two rectangles for each card, 8.2*12.2 cm. We glue one on the back of the cards.


We begin to decorate the front parts. We cut off the ribbons, laces, glue them onto scrap paper, glue inscriptions and pictures of watches at the bottom, and sew all the elements with a machine. Then we glue one more picture at a time and also sew them on.




We also glue the front parts to the card bases.
