We love to pamper and surprise our children with a wide variety of gifts, surprises and souvenirs. After all, children are always waiting gifts with special trepidation and impatience, since it is very important for them to be surrounded by affection, care and love, and be sure to surprise them with any favorite toys on holidays. The biggest holidays for which we congratulate our children are birthday and New Year. If you are preparing a gift for your child, then you can predict the desires and requirements, as you can gently find out from him something that he would like to receive as a present. In this case, the gift is somehow more clear, you just need to find the right toy in the store. But imagine, if you were invited to the birthday of a godson, nephew or just to the child of your friends, it’s somehow not quite simple. Here one already needs to think what kind of preferences a child has, what he is fond of, what will be interesting for him in development. If there is an opportunity, you can ask his parents or among friends, but if suddenly there is no such opportunity, then you can give money and the parents will pick up and buy with their child what the baby loves. The most important thing is to give money so that it is not simple and banal, but beautiful and memorable. You can make a beautiful handmade card with a pocket for money, which will leave a memory of your congratulations.

Now we’ll just consider making an interesting postcard-envelope for a girl with aging effects. Let's start and for this we take:
• A sheet of purple cardboard A4;
• Watercolor paper;
• Three sheets of scrapbook paper in purple gamut measuring 15 * 15 cm;
• Picture with a girl;
• Mother of pearl white circle;
• Acrylic stamps: “Congratulations”, owl, patterned;
• Blue and burgundy inks;
• Lace salad;
• Rep purple ribbon with white polka dots;
• White ribbon with bombs;
• Epoxy sticker with a girl;
• Flower puncher;
• Curb lace hole punch;
• Large white-purple hydrangea;
• Rosette flowers made of polymer clay;
• Paper roses, white-pink paper flower;
• Violet organza ribbon;
• The middle with violet rhinestones;
• Pearl blue beads blue and purple;
• Scissors, PVA glue, ruler, double-sided tape, pencil, glue gun.

Take the scrapbook paper and cut out three rectangles: 10 * 15 cm, 9 * 14 cm and 8 * 13 cm. This is for the top layer of the postcard. From below we make the blank lace.

Now we paste each layer, sew it with a machine, and so all three layers. From the remnants of the paper we collect a rectangle of 10 * 15 cm for the back. We glue both parts to the base, inside the watercolor blank and sew on a typewriter.
