Next year, which is just around the corner, will be the year of the Lamb. Although the sheep is a rather calm animal, the year 2015 is promised to us with slight changes and some troubles, but all these events will be exclusively for the better, so you should not be afraid of them, but you just need to prepare for them so that they do not catch you by surprise. If the worries and troubles in themselves are pleasant, then they are not difficult to solve, but surprisingly, even, on the contrary, they are solved easily and with joy. All bad things come to an end sometime and there is a gap, which 2015 promises to us. We will soon see off the 2014 Year of the Horse, and meet the Lamb Year 2015, so you need to prepare for it already from these very minutes. New Year is a holiday of miracles and changes, so you need to think through its celebration to the smallest detail. The first thing is to beautifully decorate the house, hang tinsel and bright lights of garlands in it, secondly, to lay a beautiful table with a chic menu, well, and thirdly, to decorate the Christmas tree and prepare presents for it. The more gifts you prepare, the more gifts you receive in return. Attention must be paid to absolutely everyone, so that no one is left without your attention. The most important thing in the New Year holidays is sincere and warm congratulations from the heart, which you can write and leave in a greeting card.
It’s better to make a New Year’s card yourself, it will be doubly pleasant, and most importantly, the manufacturing process will give you great pleasure.

For such a card, we need to take:

Light blue pastel paper A4 sheet;
Scrapbook paper in blue and white colors for Christmas theme, sheet 30 * 30 cm;
Floor A4 sheet of watercolor paper;
New Year's print rep ribbon grayish;
Felling of snowflakes and deer;
Pictures about the New Year and with a sheep;
Set of acrylic stamps "Happy New Year";
Oval cabochon with bells;
Blue and white berries in sugar;
Stamens in sugar and mother-of-pearl in blue tones;
New Year's bouquet;
White wide ribbon made of organza;
Metal snowflake;
Acrylic snowflakes and half beads mother of pearl;
Ruler, scissors, pencil, double-sided tape, PVA glue, glue gun.

The first thing we do is first cut out a 20x20 cm square from pastel paper, and then divide it in half and fold it. It turns out that we have the basis for a folded postcard 10x20 cm.

In the finished form, the postcard will be as if double, on the one hand, Merry Christmas, and on the other hand, Happy New Year. We cut out two rectangles from New Year's paper 9.9 * 19.8 cm, as well as a picture 6.5 * 10.5 cm.

On a piece of watercolor we stamp the inscriptions, cut out two different and a strip of ribbons with a New Year's motif.

We apply and wrap the tape, inscriptions with adhesive tape we glue below. From the watercolor we cut out a rectangle of 8.5 * 17 cm, round the edges and glue the sheep at the bottom, and do the stamping at the top.
