Present present your soulmate is pleasant and romantic not only on holidays, but also just like that. It is not necessary that it be something supernatural, it is enough that it is a gift from the heart, and even better if it is prepared with your own hands. Prepare a romantic dinner, wear something sexy and seductive, and also make a postcard with your own hands with various confessions and other love phrases and your companion will be conquered. In addition, you don’t really need to rack your brains and invent, you can find this master class and use it as an example in order to make a very beautiful, lush postcard using the technique scrapbooking. The splendor of this card lies in the fact that it contains mainly various bright die-cuts as decoration, as well as a lot of paper butterflies. It is not expensive, but it looks very chic.

So, to make it we take:
• Template diagram;
• Watercolor paper 20*35 cm;
• Scrappaper from the “Shabby” collection, as well as the Scrapmir trademark;
• Die-cuts of different shapes, sizes and colors TM Scrapmir;
• Cutting small red hearts, a large red heart, as well as a hollow openwork heart of peach color;
• 3D butterfly hole punch;
• Lace border hole punch;
• Printed inscriptions “I love you”, “With Love”, a poem on a love theme;
• Stamping “With love”;
• Pictures of bears and bunny with hearts;
• Glue stick, scissors, ruler, sewing machine, pencil;
• Pillow with gold ink for tinting;
• Glue gun.

All designations on the template are indicated in centimeters, so the height of the workpiece is 18 cm, and the width is 35 cm. The postcard also has three partitions for gluing in air elements. We cut out this blank from watercolor. We make cuts in three places; they are indicated by solid lines in the diagram. And where the dotted lines are, we make a bend under the ruler.

This is what the postcard looks like when folded. Now we will decorate it.

We cut out different squares and rectangles from scrap paper. We combine some from different papers and glue them together. We also glue strips made with a lace hole punch on the edges.

Now we begin to scratch all these elements, as it were, along the ribs with scissors. And we need to tone the base along the edges and bends with a pillow.

Now we glue the poems, inscriptions and pictures with a glue stick, which we also tint along the edges.

We cut out three strips, as in the diagram for the partitions, and also make them curly with a lace hole punch.

We sew on every inscription, picture, poem.

Now we glue all the scrap paper parts onto a watercolor base.

Now we stitch each edge of the card separately with a machine.

We glue the partitions inside.

And now there is very little left. On the front we glue a bunny on a red heart, and on top there is a peach hollow heart. Now we glue the die-cuts with a gun and put butterflies on them.
