Making beautiful postcards for March 8th from paper - 5 master classes
Paper is a material that is always at hand. When choosing materials for postcards, paper, of course, comes first. For the base of the card, I recommend choosing thicker paper so that it holds its shape well.
Volumetric card “Bouquet of flowers”
A very cute and voluminous card. It’s not difficult to do, involve children in your work, they will be interested.
Necessary materials:
- Cardboard for base
- Colored and white paper
- Scissors
- Compass
- Markers or colored pencils
- Ruler
- Glue, glue gun
- Leg-split
The very first thing we will do for the card is flowers. To do this, arm yourself with colored paper, a compass, scissors and get started.
Choose the color of the flower. Using a compass, measure a diameter of 1.5 cm and draw a circle from the edge of the sheet.
Fold the sheet to the size of the circle 2 times to make an accordion and cut it out.
Then roll it again to the size of the circle 2 times with an accordion and cut it.
From the resulting square, cut out circles along the drawn outline.
You should have 9 circles. Each one needs to be cut in the middle from the bottom about 1 cm from the edge.
Glue the cut together so that you get a voluminous petal. It is not at all necessary to make them the same; overlap more or less.
When all the petals are glued together, cut out a few more circles of the same diameter from the remaining paper. They will serve as the beginning of the flower to make it look more flowing. There is no need to cut and glue them.
Glue the petals together in a chaotic manner, and glue the circles at the bottom along the edges.
Now let's get to the core. To do this, take a white sheet, bend it in half about 1.5 cm from the edge and cut it off.
The width of the sheet is 20 cm, 10 cm is enough for one flower. Therefore, we fold it in half and cut it off again.
For a natural look, use a yellow felt-tip pen to shade one side of the strip from the bottom of the fold.
Make frequent cuts from the fold side along the entire length, but carefully leaving a little space at the bottom. It will turn out like weed.
Roll it up and secure the end with glue.
Straighten the edges and glue the core to the center of the flower. Hold for a while until the glue sets. The first flower is ready, similarly make 2 more for the card.
Let's start with the base for the bouquet. Take a colored sheet of paper measuring 20x15 cm and bend it like an accordion. We will attach the bouquet to this base.
Then for the leaves you need green paper. Fold the sheet 4 cm from the edge and cut.
Cut the folded sheet in half and cut out a semi-oval from it, and cut leaves from it into thin strips along the edge.
Tie the base of the bouquet with a piece of twine and tie a bow.
Attach the base for the bouquet to the cardboard base of the postcard with glue.
Glue leaves to it, and glue flowers on top of them.
Glue rhinestones along the contour of the card. Glue rhinestones onto the base of the bouquet in a chaotic manner.
Wrap the tops of the leaves inward and glue them.
On the upper free part of the postcard, first use a simple pencil to write “March 8”, and then use a marker or black felt-tip pen to outline the outline.
Shade the inscription with colored pencils; using several colors the inscription will look more voluminous.
Draw a heart and color it.
This is such a wonderful postcard - it turned out to be a bouquet.
Postcards “Dresses”
An original postcard with outfits - dresses. Of course, this will be a congratulation for women. Such a postcard can serve as a congratulation on March 8, on Mother's Day or a birthday, as well as for an invitation to an event. I will present you with three options for making such a postcard; if you wish, use your imagination and make your own version using the same principle.
Necessary materials:
- Colored cardboard - the basis of the postcard
- Colored paper
- Scissors
- Satin ribbons, rhinestones, beads - for decoration
For the first option, fold a piece of colored cardboard in half and cut it. Fold half of the piece in half, this will be the basis for the postcard. You choose the color at your discretion.
For contrast, you can cut a rectangle from a white sheet inside the card and paste it on the side where the congratulation text will be.
Using a ruler on the front of the card, mark where the outline of the dress will be.
Using a simple pencil, draw the outline of the dress. Draw a wave at the bottom of the hem, and draw a neckline at the top.
Cut along the drawn outline of the dress.
In place of the belt, on the fold, make an incision with nail scissors.
Insert a satin ribbon, tie a bow and trim off any excess edges.
The card is ready, you can decorate it with stickers, glue rhinestones or decorate it. Or you can leave it like this. Write a congratulation and delight the recipient with an interesting postcard.
For the second option you will need dress templates. You can draw them yourself.
Transfer the templates onto colored paper and cut them out.
Using a ruler, bend the skirt template along the lines to create folds.
Glue the finished parts of the dress onto the base of the card in the center.
Decorate the belt with glue-based beads.
It’s very simple and quick, and most importantly, the stylish postcard will appeal to female representatives of any age category.
For the last version of a postcard with a dress, you need a mini CD or a compass, in general, whatever you have at hand.
Take a sheet of colored paper, preferably in different colors on both sides, this will add volume to the future bottom of the dress.
Trace the disk or use a compass to draw a large circle and a small one inside.
Draw petals inside this circle, then cut along the outline.
You need 2 of these blanks.
Fold the resulting flower in half so that the petals are not symmetrical.
Using scissors, fold the edges of the petals inward.
Repeat the procedure with the second part and connect them together with glue.
Cut the top into an oval shape so that the shape resembles a skirt.
Cut out the desired top of the dress, in our case it is a corset, and connect the parts together by gluing them to the card.
The final touch will be a bow made of satin ribbon; we glue it to the waistband of the dress.
Beauty is ready and waiting for its recipient.
Postcard “Field bouquet”
A very simple version of a postcard. It can be done quickly, and even a child can easily cope with this task.
Necessary materials:
- Cardboard for base
- Colored and white paper
- Scissors
Cut thin strips from colored paper of different colors.
Using a toothpick, twist the strips, leaving a small space at the end and secure with glue.

Glue strips of green paper onto a postcard for a future bouquet.
Start decorating with curls of different colors, these will be buds.

Necessary materials:
- Cardboard for base
- Colored and white paper
- Scissors
- Glue or double-sided tape
- Colored pencils, felt-tip pens
- Black marker
- Rhinestones for decoration
Draw butterflies around the edge of the card base. Let them have different slopes, it will be even more interesting. Use a simple pencil so you can correct any imperfections.
Trace the outline with a marker and to make the butterflies more beautiful, add a pattern on the wings, for me these are circles.
Trim the edge along the contour of the butterflies.
Glue a sheet of colored paper inside the card for contrast; it can be anything. Use glue or double-sided tape.
Now comes the most creative design process. Color your butterflies or let the kids do it. Decorate the middles of the butterflies with rhinestones.
Using a pre-prepared figure eight stencil, transfer it onto the card. A stencil is completely optional; you can easily draw the number yourself.
Trace the outline with a black marker and color it.
For a voluminous appearance of the figure eight, you can shade the sides of the figure eight with a pencil one tone darker.
A very interesting postcard, in my opinion.
Postcard “Spring tulips”
The last option for paper postcards will be made in applique style. Choose soft and pleasant colors for the background and flowers.
Necessary materials:
- Cardboard for base
- Colored and white paper
- Satin ribbon
- Scissors
Prepare all the necessary materials and get started.

Cut flower stems from green paper.
Cut out the bottom of the bouquet separately. Cut the leaves.

Palm card for mom
Such a postcard can be made by children of almost any age (primary school, kindergarten - even the smallest can do it). For them, this process will turn into an exciting game, so they will definitely enjoy the work. A child can make a craft by March 8 with his own hands, without outside help or under the supervision of an adult - this depends on the age of each novice craftsman.
We will need:
- colored cardboard;
- colored paper;
- twig;
- glue.
Fold a sheet of colored cardboard in half. On white paper we trace the palm and cut it out along the contour. Glue it to the cover of the postcard.
Glue a twig to the center of the palm. If you don't have good glue on hand, you can use tape.
Draw flowers and leaves on colored paper. And also the number 8 – a symbol of March 8th. We cut out the blanks.
Glue the decor to the branches. And we will glue the fingers of our palm inside: so that they protrude a little, and the card for mom will turn out to be voluminous.
Ready! All that remains is to add your wish. Now it seems as if the child is clutching flowers in his fist for his beloved mother. By the way, this card can also be given to a teacher - it cannot be called very personal, so it would be appropriate to congratulate the teacher in this way.
Postcard with lilies of the valley
This simple card can be made by children in elementary school. A beautiful three-dimensional appliqué can be done simply and requires almost no help from adults. With such a small craft you can congratulate a teacher, girlfriend or grandmother on March 8th.
We will need:
- colored cardboard;
- green paper;
- foam rubber or polystyrene;
- PVA glue.
To make a card, you may need a ready-made template or stencil of flowers. Flowers can be any, but lilies of the valley, lilac, mimosa, lupins - that is, elongated flowers with a lush “crown” - will look most advantageous.
We draw the stems of the plant with a felt-tip pen or pencil. And then we fill the space for the flower itself. To do this, crumble the foam into small pieces or cut the foam. It is very convenient to coat the base with glue, and then simply apply particles of material to it and press to fix it. To make the card more neat, you can help yourself with tweezers.
If you want to make a holiday card for March 8 with lilacs or lupins, the material can be painted with acrylic paint. If you don't have such paint, mix regular watercolor with liquid glue in a 1:1 ratio and apply the mixture to a sponge or foam.
You can make a beautiful border around the edges of the card. You can additionally decorate the image itself with sparkles or a beautiful colored spray (just spray the paint from the brush, moving it 30-40 cm from the cardboard).
Please note that you should write congratulations on March 8 and wishes for the woman to whom you are going to give this beautiful craft in advance. With glued decor it will not be very convenient. However, if you make a double card (with a fold), then you can enter a congratulation after completing the decor.
3D card with number 8
This card can be made by a child under the supervision of elders or an adult. An original three-dimensional postcard for March 8 will be appropriate as a gift not only to family members, but also to teachers, colleagues and friends. Unusual, beautiful, tender and airy - it will definitely please any woman.
We will need:
- a sheet of thick paper or cardboard;
- glue stick;
- nail scissors;
- paper cutter.
Making a postcard with a three-dimensional figure eight is quite simple, but we do not recommend this work for small children. If a kindergartener or elementary school student does this together with his mother or grandmother, that’s a different matter, but cutting it out on his own will not be easy for him, because this involves working with a sharp cutter and scissors. If you want to make this card with your child, trust him to cut out the figure eight itself (the large part) and paint the craft, and do the rest yourself.
The voluminous postcard consists of two parts. We offer you a ready-made template so you don't have to draw eights from scratch.
You can simply print out this stencil on plain or colored printer paper in duplicate, then decorate the figure eights to your liking and cut them out. For a more durable design, glue the templates to cardboard and then cut them out.
There is one more trick. If you don't want to decorate the paper and you have some pretty cardstock, glue the printed paper to the back of it. Then simply cut out the parts according to the template - on the front side on a beautiful cardboard you will get the desired design.
Use a cutter to cut out small parts on the template. Make a small cut, and then help yourself with nail scissors with thin, rounded ends.
Fasten two figure eights together at the top and bottom. For this we made special “hooks”. For reliability, you can fasten the parts of the future postcard with glue.
Shape the base to make it stable. By the way, you can additionally glue it with a strip of cardboard. This makes sense if the rest of the 3D card structure is made of paper.
You can leave the craft white. This color is airy, delicate and pure - an excellent symbol of women's holiday. Such a voluminous card will perfectly complement any gift for March 8th. At the same time, you will be original - few people are ready to make a postcard of such fine workmanship.
Postcard with 3D flowers
A voluminous bouquet inside a postcard is a great spring surprise for March 8th! Give your mother, grandmother, sister and friend such a card - they will definitely be delighted. The design is quite simple to assemble, so even elementary school children can handle making this postcard with their own hands.
We will need:
- cardboard for the base;
- multi-colored paper;
- glue stick;
- double sided tape.
We cut out 7 squares measuring 10x10 cm from colored paper of different colors. You can take paper in one color scheme, or you can make the flowers in the card bright and use contrasting shades.
Fold the square in half, then in half again. Next, we make a lapel on one side and the other - so that we get a triangle. Then with a pencil we draw a small rounding - a blank for the petal. We cut off the excess and straighten the part: we have a small flower in the shape of hearts. We cut off one petal and then fasten the structure with glue. As a result, we got a slightly raised cup of petals.
The first blank for the postcard is ready. All that remains is to cut out the remaining parts according to this pattern. We will also need to make two petals from green paper - we immediately attach small pieces of double-sided tape to them.
For the convenience of further instructions in this master class, the parts are labeled with letters in the photograph.
We begin to connect the flower. Flowers B and C are attached to A. In this case, D overlaps A.
Flowers E and F are attached to D and connected to B and C.
All that remains is to attach flower G on top. We put it on element D and glue it. We attach the leaves with double-sided tape to the petals themselves.
Our three-dimensional flower is already ready, all that remains is to attach it to the holiday card. To do this, we place the flower on its side and attach it to the inside of the card on one side. Smooth out and close the card. Then we open it, straighten the structure and do the same manipulation on the opposite side.
We have created a beautiful three-dimensional card for March 8, which any woman will enthusiastically accept. Just imagine how surprised a person will be when a gorgeous three-dimensional flower of extraordinary beauty literally grows on his palms. This is perhaps one of the best surprises for International Women's Day!
Simple card for mom
If you work with young children who need to congratulate their mothers on the holiday, or you have a kindergartener or schoolchild whom you are ready to help with making a card, this master class will be your lifesaver. A gift for mom, older sister or kindergarten - this applique is good for any occasion. The simplest holiday cards made of paper with flowers made from large parts using ready-made templates are what you need for creativity with children.
We will need:
- colored cardboard;
- multi-colored paper;
- printouts with congratulations;
- glue stick.
To make the texture of the card more interesting, you can add corrugated paper.
We bend the cardboard in half so that a congratulation can be placed inside. We will cut the flower out of colored paper. You will find the template below: you can print the stencil or draw it yourself.
Cut out the details. If you are making several cards at once, it is convenient to fold several sheets of paper together and cut out 3-4 flowers and centers at once.
We recommend adding butterflies to the card - this will make the craft for March 8 even more original. Elementary school children can easily cut out wings on their own. You can find ready-made butterfly stencils.
Congratulations can be typed into a text document and printed, or you can help your child write them by hand.
Decorate the card outside and inside - attach all the details with a regular glue stick or PVA. If the children are older, you can add more interesting glitter decorations. To do this, you need to coat part of the card with glue and sprinkle dry glitter on top, or simply paint the surface with ready-made glitter markers.
Card-dress: origami and with a napkin
One of the most popular cards for March 8th is a dress card. This craft looks very beautiful and original. It can be given to an older sister, a young mother or a friend.
Some people think that making a card with a dress with their own hands is quite difficult. Actually this is not true. The simplest origami technique is easy to perform, and even a schoolboy can handle it. We invite you to watch the video master class and repeat these simple step-by-step instructions.
Very often dress cards are made with napkins. To do this, you need to fold the top part of the dress, as shown in the video, and cut the bottom. Next, simply gather the unfolded napkin into an accordion shape, fasten it in the middle with thread and bend it in half. Glue the napkin to the central part. “Seat” the edges with glue, and leave the rest of the napkin free.
By the way, the shirt of the dress does not need to be folded. If you have a ready-made image of a fashionista or princess from a magazine, or a suitable photo of the person you are giving a card to on March 8th, simply cut and paste the image and then add a napkin.
Postcards with dresses are always received with special delight. They look very elegant and festive. Perhaps this is one of the best additions to a gift for March 8th.
Choose any of the proposed holiday cards and complement it with your own decor and warm wishes. Mothers, grandmothers, teachers, sisters, girlfriends, aunts and colleagues - everyone deserves attention on this day. And if you don’t plan to give gifts to women you know, delighting them with cards is not difficult. You will only need the simplest materials and a few minutes, but the person who receives your homemade postcard for March 8th will be truly touched and happy.
It is also worth noting that recently electronic greeting cards have become increasingly popular gifts for March 8th. They can be made very quickly in online services and sent by email or social network to your loved ones. For example, the Canva service allows you to create a unique greeting card in literally 10 minutes from a variety of ready-made templates for any holiday, and in addition to the electronic version, you can save it in PDF format for printing on a home printer or in a printing house.

A postcard with a little bit of soul and human warmth in it is much more valuable. This is a very pleasant and touching gift for our mothers and grandmothers, especially since the occasion is March 8th. We invite you to make some really beautiful and simple options with us: how do you like, for example, a cardboard card for March 8th?
Volumetric postcards for March 8
You will need:
- a set of multi-colored paper;
- glue (preferably a glue stick);
- tape (necessarily double-sided).
Let's get started:
For convenience, we have indicated the details of our future postcard in Latin letters. So, we start by cutting out seven squares from colored paper (each size is ten centimeters). Next, all the squares are folded into four. We fold one lapel diagonally, turn it over and fold the next lapel in the same way. This is how we get a triangle (look at the photo). Next, a petal is cut out from our triangle. Now you can unfold the colored paper and one petal. We close the flower and put petals on all sides, all this is held together with glue. We repeat the same thing several times - the number of flowers on the card can be at your discretion.
Now a small piece of tape is attached to our petals (we remind you that we only use double-sided tape). Now the flowers are connected to each other: flowers C and B should overlap the petal marked A. As for the petal under the letter D, it goes at the top and overlaps A. Flowers F and E overlap C and B.
Let's move on: follow the photo instructions. We attach part G on top and overlap it with part D. Now you can cut out several sheets of green paper. You can attach the leaves to the flowers with double-sided tape. Now we take a sheet of cardboard and cut out a small rectangle from it (approximate size - twenty-five by fifteen centimeters). We fold the triangle in half - this is how we get a blank for the future postcard. Our voluminous flowers are placed inside it, attached with tape, and pressed tightly. Now open the postcard and repeat the same thing. Congratulations, an excellent version of a postcard for March 8th for grandmother or mother is ready!
Complex, but very beautiful card for mom on March 8
You will need:
- sharp scissors;
- tape: knife (stationery);
- pencil; glue;
- some colored cardboard (pink and red);
- some scrap paper; a beautiful picture (in our version - a cute girl in a retro style);
- napkin (necessarily openwork);
- little things for decoration: a little lace, flowers, paper curls, feathers and so on.
- As you read in the subtitle, making this postcard will not be so easy - we will work in two stages. However, do not hesitate - the result will pleasantly surprise you! Follow the photo instructions carefully.
Let's get started:
Stage 1.
- A blank for the future postcard is cut out of red cardboard. You can choose the size yourself, we offer 16x17 centimeters.
- A rectangle is cut out of pink cardboard. Please note that this part should be several millimeters smaller than the red blank.
- A rectangle is also cut out of scrap paper. It is also smaller by a couple of millimeters, but narrower than the pink blank.
- All blanks are glued together, as in the photo below.
- Let's start decorating the card. To begin, glue the lace to the bottom of the card. Next comes paper curls and openwork napkins.
Stage 2.
- The main card is being put aside for now. Now we are making a “daughter”.
- The charming design you choose is pasted onto a red cardboard backing.
- Now pink cardboard is used: a small blank is made from it, as in the picture. It can be decorated with red patterns, which, by the way, can be elegantly drawn with an ordinary gel pen.
- The pattern on the backing is glued to a small blank. Glue small pieces of ribbon on both sides of the small card.
- The small card is glued to the big one.
- You can glue a couple of artificial flowers to the corner of the card. Ready! March 8 cards for a colleague or beloved sister can be so stunningly beautiful.
Spring cards for March 8 made of paper
You will need:
Let's get started:
We make a blank for the future postcard from colored cardboard. We cut out the parts from white and light green sheets of paper so that one ends up being slightly smaller than the other.
White paper is glued to light green paper, after which all this is attached to our main workpiece. As for white paper, you can safely tint it slightly or draw a pattern on it in delicate colors.
We make small labels from leftover cardboard and paper (see photo below). All labels are glued together, we make a hole in them. Now a small cut is made at the bottom of our future spring card. It is needed so that it is possible to thread a lace ribbon through it.
We can glue a couple of artificial flowers a little higher above the braid. It would be appropriate to add beads to the middle of the flowers. Finishing touches: we thread our string through the hole in the label. The rope is tied into a bow, and we glue it all to the card in the upper right corner. By the way, you can write touching words of congratulations on the label. If you are interested in postcard templates for March 8, then this lesson may be useful to you - there can be a lot of options on how to decorate such a postcard and in what color to make it!
Master class: postcard for March 8th with hearts
You will need:
- a set of colored paper;
- a sheet of thick paper;
- sharp scissors;
- good glue.
Let's get started:
Please note that you can draw hearts yourself, but it is important to remember some rules (discussed below).
- So, we start by removing the big heart from the middle (as you can see, it is located right on the fold).
- Now we cut out the hearts, but in no case do we touch their folds (as in the picture below).
- Cuts are made on the hearts in the indicated places. Please note that the gray lines are on the opposite hearts. This way you will be able to hold them together.
- The halves are glued to the base, the hearts are connected. Remember that the size of the hearts must be the same on both sides.
DIY children's cards for March 8th: a very non-standard option!
You will need:
- yellow petals (about eighteen pieces);
- two mugs (note that they must be different sizes);
- green sunflower leaves;
- a pot where we will “plant” a sunflower;
- a little straw, which will also decorate our custom three-dimensional card.
Let's get started:
On each petal we carefully draw a border of dark dots. The dots should look as natural as possible. To do this, the petals can be bent in half. Now we take a large circle of paper and glue nine or eight petals to it to begin with. This will be the first layer, all other petals are placed on top.
As for the small circle, it is glued to the center of our sunflower. We also need a stem. It can be done simply: for example, wrap a cocktail tube in colored paper of the appropriate color. Wishes to your beloved mother are written on sunflower leaves. Not a postcard, but delight!
Original postcards for March 8: nothing is simpler
You will need:
- paint in white, green and brown colors;
- brush;
- sheet of cardboard.
This card is made in just a couple of minutes! If there are children in the house, we recommend involving them in the process. When they say “it retains the warmth of your hands,” then this is definitely about this postcard, because we start by dipping our finger in brown paint and pressing it tightly to our paper. Carefully draw the stem of future flowers with a brush.
We do not proceed to the next stage until the brown paint has dried. Now take white paint and carefully dip your little finger into it. With the help of simple movements we make our dandelion fluffy. By the way, create a light effect of fluff that flies away or scatters in different directions - it will turn out very cute.
Postcards from March 8: mother bird
Just an incredibly gentle and simple card! At the first stage, we need to print and cut out the details of a sample of our future birds. All the necessary details are available at the link provided.
Now we take colored and white cardboard. You need to cut out rectangular parts from it, which will become the main background of the future postcard. Please note that the white piece should be approximately one centimeter larger than the colored one. Now we carefully glue our hugging birds, as shown in the picture below.
Finishing touches: our birds should have noses and eyes. They can also be made from yellow and black cardboard. Carefully glue the small parts to the birds. If you don’t want to cut out small details, then simply draw them with a felt-tip pen.
