Anyone, of course, is very fond of receiving birthday surprises and pleasant gifts. Someone love sweets, another love flowers and souvenirs, and still others just love something so unusual that they simply did not even expect to receive their birthday. On the day of their birth, some people like to be left alone with themselves and reflect on their life. But still, most people celebrate name days, if not with friends in a noisy and cheerful company, then at least in the circle of their close ones and relatives. How to surprise a birthday boy and what is so unusual for him to give? All people are different, therefore, interests and taste preferences are also diverse, it is simply impossible to satisfy everyone. From ancient times to this day, a mandatory attribute of any holiday is a greeting card. In fact, it’s opened by itself, not just a piece of paper with a poem, it’s your sincere wishes, so to speak, from the bottom of your heart that’s only written verbally in this postcard. The choice of postcards, of course, is huge now, and it happens that you go to the store to choose, and your eyes just run up from a huge assortment, but if you look closely, they are all identical and boring. And I want some riddles and secrets to remember for many years.
A little need to invent, take everything you need and make a postcard a box with a secret with your own hands, and a very good assistant in this we will serve as a needlework technique for working with paper scrapbooking.
