Women very often face such a problem: how to congratulate their man on his birthday, February 23, or on a professional holiday. The point is not even in the event, but precisely in what can be presented to him so special. Well, just imagine for a moment that this is a little-known man: a colleague, director, or distant relative. What can surprise him if he knows you little? You must admit that this is quite difficult and for this you need to think very carefully and try. It’s another matter if this man’s husband, brother, son, and then it’s quite difficult to guess what it is preferable to get in present right now, so that it is both pleasant, and useful, and original. A gift is a gift, but what kind of holiday is it if you do not leave warm, sincere words with congratulations after it? And you can write such words in a greeting card, which will preserve the memory of you and your attitude to this person. There will not be any special problems to buy a ready-made card, but it is better to do it manually, this will give the holiday an intrigue and a certain riddle. So right now we’ll look at a couple of options for making small men's cards in technology scrapbooking. Beautiful paper, several color pictures and some other scrap materials allow you to create such wonderful postcards that will surprise and delight any man.

To make men's cards, you need to take:
• Brown and gray cardboard;
• Scrapbook paper with masculine motifs in a brown-gray palette;
• Pictures and die cuts of various shapes with men's accessories;
• Epoxy stickers;
• Stampings “Congratulations” and “Happy Birthday”;
• Brown lace;
• The tape in the box is brownish-white;
• Rep beige ribbon 5 mm wide;
• Wooden buttons;
• Metal pendants;
• Suede lace;
• Brown pearl half beads;
• Gray and beige feather from cutting down;
• Cord scoring;
• Watercolor paper;
• Gold pillow with ink for tinting;
• Ruler, double-sided tape, pencil, glue gun, scissors.

Our postcards will be very small, and the first thing we do is cut out the basics from cardboard. First, cut out two rectangles 12.5 * 17cm, then divide them in half, bend and fold, we get the basics 8.5 * 12.5 cm.

From watercolor paper, we cut out rectangles of 8.2 * 12.2 cm for the inner inscription. Use double-sided tape to glue them inside the postcard.

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

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