Greetings, friends! Today we have a voluminous topic for creating postcards and valentines for the holiday of All Lovers or Valentine's Day. As we know it will take place on February 14th.
So, on this day, we can give small and cute presents to those we love. In a general sense, this date was created in order to confess your love. Only we will expand the circle of concepts and create postcards not only for girls and guys, but also for moms, dads, girlfriends, etc. By the way, we already have handmade experience, remember we did congratulations on, and?
I loved this holiday very much in my youth during my schooling. The expectation is so intriguing - suddenly he will write something to me from the very “dream”. And as a result, by the end of the day there were 100,500 congratulations from sisters and girlfriends.
But we weren’t upset, do you remember with what interest we looked at these bright postcards? We used to buy them, but today I propose to make them with our own hands. Moreover, I found a lot of interesting ideas.
Postcards can be very different. Volumetric, with gifts, large, small, painted, etc.
I propose to start with a very simple but unusual idea. This is a sweet valentine. It is connected in a bag, and sweets from Skittles or MMdems are placed inside.
The halves are connected with a stapler, starting from the bottom. Do not close the top immediately, but put a message with a wish or sweet dragees inside. And only after that fix the top of the postcard with staples.
You do not need to invent anything, everything is already there. Take this drawing as a template. It can be printed or hand-transferred to paper.
This is what the card looks like from the front.
The next idea will appeal to girls. They will not spare the time and create something very beautiful for their beloved boyfriend and girlfriends. I propose to make a similar version of congratulations.
The idea is simple: a lot of paper flowers are made (in this case, roses) and they are glued onto a heart-shaped base.
For example, they can be made according to this master class.
You need to take a blank in the form of a circle of colored paper.
Draw a spiral from the center to the edge. And cut it along the lines.
As a result, it will turn into such a rose. For a fake, we make a lot of similar flowers of different colors and diameters.
Then we take a landscape sheet, which will serve as the basis for our valentine. We draw a beautiful heart on the front side and paste our roses inside it on PVA glue.
Taking this idea as a basis, you can show your imagination and make another option, for example, similar to this one.
If you want something simpler, then I am attaching a step-by-step master class for creating congratulations with a voluminous heart.
Let's use this scheme. It must be transferred to a sheet of colored paper. The idea is that the highlight of the congratulations will be inside.
This part is cut along solid lines. And those segments that are shown by dotted lines, we bend over ourselves. It is more convenient to do this with a ruler. Then the folds will be even.
We bend the sides of small hearts to the sides and open our base from the album sheet.
We open the base and glue small hearts on the inside of the valentine. That's all. It remains only to leave the inscription.
There is a similar idea for a postcard, but it is done in a completely different way.
Take the sheet base, bend it in half. From the side of the fold, draw one half of the heart. Can you translate this picture? 
Now we make an incision of this blank to the middle of the heart. This line is shown as a solid line in the figure. 
We bend the cut off part on ourselves. 
Expand the workpiece, you will get a voluminous heart. 
We turn the part again. 
And from the second fold we draw a small half of the heart. Also cut it in half.
We bend this small half-heart along the marked lines.
We open the craft and straighten the hearts. We paste this volumetric blank on colored cardboard and give it as a gift. 
I met similar little valentines. I would also call them mini-postcards. It looks original, concise and self-sufficient.
In the previous photo, we saw that you can use a three-dimensional heart. This idea was brought to the craft-application. It's not embarrassing to give such an option. It can be not only the month of February, but a collection of all memorable dates: the date of the meeting, the beginning of a relationship, marriage, the birth of children, etc.
Such gift panels can be of different formats.
Let's continue the theme of postcards. I thought this idea with clothespins was funny. Here, too, the whole "zest" is inside the congratulations.
It is very romantic to write a letter to a friend. But, in order not to pass it just like that. Make it themed. At the end of the article, I will give many more options for printing envelopes.
Another creative valentine idea. When the postcard is folded in an unusual way and at first glance resembles a box.
This silhouette can be transferred to paper manually. If you attach paper to the screen and circle the contours with a soft felt-tip pen.
You need to cut all the blanks along the contour.
Shown in detail here. So you get a figure with a long paw. You string a heart on it and wrap the strip behind the bear, gluing it on the back.
There is another idea for such postcards of hugs. When a candy is glued inside.
Now let's see the idea using corrugated paper.
So, first we cut out a blank for a valentine in the shape of a heart.
Then we take corrugated paper and cut a strip 1 cm wide along its length.
Then along the entire length from one side we make notches with scissors to half the strip. Get a fringe.
It remains only to wind one end onto a skewer or thin stick and twist the flower. With which you decorate the application.
Congratulations with puzzle elements look very original. Details can be cut by hand, or printed on a color printer. It can also be just a picture, or it can be your photo.
Not so long ago we bought a stamp in the store. For only 50 rubles. And then I came across the idea of a similar postcard with its use. I’ll make a reservation right away that, in the absence of a purchased stamp, you can make its homemade counterpart. For example, cut out the desired simple heart shape on a dishwashing sponge.
Master classes on how to quickly make a Valentine in 5 minutes with templates
Now in front of you is a very valuable selection of quick valentines. On average, an experienced craftswoman can repeat each option in five minutes. For some, of course, it will take longer.
So, I suggest giving the guy such a postcard-tuxedo.
If design is not very important to you, then take this option as a basis. Good text will fit inside.
I also liked this idea. She reminds me of something.
There are many options for using this ornament.
Let's take a closer look at the scheme for collecting such a heart. So we need to take two ovals. Find a middle ground for them. Then make two straight cuts almost to the end of the blanks. Make sure the strips are the same length and width.
Then we collect the heart. Pass the strip at number 3 under the strip C and pass B through it. We stretch further passing the strips through one, as shown in the figure.
It turns out such a chess. You can make your work easier and do not bend the parts, but make them single. And glue the places of weaving with glue.
Fast valentine in the form of a fan. How to make it? Now I will show you more.
We bend an accordion from a sheet of paper.
Unfold and cut an oval out of it.
Gather the workpiece back into an accordion and bend in half. This is how you find the middle. Glue both inner edges to each other and the heart is ready.
There is an idea for voluminous details made of hearts glued or sewn on a typewriter.
To do this, cut out 2.3 or more identical hearts from double-sided colored paper. We bend them in half. And glue the sides of the neighbors. This is how volume is obtained. We did similar things as a garland. 
This master class can be the basis for many congratulations. But for interest, look, another idea with envelopes. In each, you can add a wish to your loved one.
Another simple card idea. On the basis of which you can make a lot of congratulations, just changing the shades of paper and ribbon.
A small selection of photographs for inspiration.
The following master class is also simple and fast. But first you need to understand it. So cut off many identical strips of colored paper or felt. Then, on the basis, draw a heart and mark the vertical lines inside. Cut them out without cutting off the ends. And we begin to thread colored stripes from the edge of the wide side of the heart. We fix the edges with glue from the wrong side.
For a better understanding of the process, there is a detailed photo.
These are not all the options that I have prepared for you. Let's look further.
3 origami valentines
Do we have origami lovers? Hope so. Because I found a couple of awesome patterns for creating hearts.
Option 1. It turns out such beauty. All steps are shown in the photo and numbered so that you do not get confused.
Option 2. Now popular geometric shapes are of interest to many. I give a step-by-step master class for creating such a geometric heart.
Option 3. A very simple three-dimensional decoration. To do this, cut out the part and wrap its upper parts inward.
Now I'll show you how beautiful this origami looks on a postcard.
And here is another idea for a valentine with origami elements. In this technique, paper miniatures are made that fly towards each other.
Or insert an inscription between the parts of the heart.
At first glance, the process of creating such crafts can seem complicated. But after trying a couple of times, you will definitely understand the principles and sequence of actions. After all, in fact, you just need to correctly fold the paper, and the upper diagrams show each step.
Volumetric crafts using scrapbooking and pop-up technique
So, for those who spare no time for creativity, I offer several original voluminous options for congratulations. I'll start with Pop-up. This technique implies a three-dimensional component inside, something like a panorama.
For example, these postcards with stencils. They show which places need to be cut out to get a three-dimensional image.
A similar version with angels.
With the inscription Love, which in English means Love.
Here is another 3d idea. The dotted lines indicate the fold lines, and the solid lines indicate what needs to be cut.
So, take a red sheet of paper as a basis. Put a word on it and cut through the silhouettes, do not touch the verticals.
Then fold the sheet in half and run your fingernail along the fold lines.
Unfold the workpiece and paste it inside the turn of the landscape base.
Here is another similar inscription.
By the way, such protrusions can be combined with the scrapbooking technique.
For example, inside is a “zest”, and outside there is a layered beautiful decor.
On a sheet of red paper we draw a heart (we need two identical ones) and from its outer end we make a spiral inward. We observe the distance between the lines.
Then we cut along the lines we have drawn.
We take a landscape sheet, fold it along the floors and look for the place of the inner fold.
Now we take two of our blanks and glue 1 piece on each side of the base with a wide side. Glue the ends with hearts together.
If you have only one such blank, then also use it for a valentine.
And here is another diagram of a volumetric heart. The diagram also shows cut and fold lines.
Well, if you have reached mastery in this technique, then try to make similar pens.
The topic of Pop-up is very wide, so for inspiration, here is a video of creating another unusual and stylish congratulation.
Now let's take a quick look at scrapbooking. This technique involves the use of different shapes, backgrounds, volumes and even materials.
It is very beautiful when the elements of the postcard are pasted on a voluminous double-sided tape. It is sold in the departments for creativity and hardware stores. 
I do not force you to immediately create ingenious complex masterpieces. Start with something small. For example, these cards are very cute, but made in the best tradition of scara: there are overlays, backgrounds and different textures.
Do not be afraid to use improvised materials: buttons, ribbons, sequins. Scrapbooking loves this.
Also, many now have curly hole punchers. And they can help you make many of the same parts. See how they are framed in this picture.
Braid, burlap and even napkins look beautiful.
Here is another idea for a postcard with voluminous content and a beautiful front side.
Unusual voluminous postcard "Heart in hands"
To be honest, this version of congratulations won me over. It is suitable not only for Valentine's Day, but also for Mother's Day. very touching and emotional.
For this card, you need to take this pattern of palms.
And then cut out all those hearts that are shown in the picture. Then an incision is made in the indicated places.
The most difficult thing remains - to collect the heart. This should be done alternately, starting to insert parts from a smaller heart into the slots. The largest detail remains in the middle. Half hearts are inserted along the edges.
If it is difficult for you to assemble this puzzle, then just paste a sincere wish inside.
Or a voluminous heart, a circle.
For younger children, I suggest this option with a heart in the palms.
This scheme is suitable for the base. 
Or you can attach a child's pen to the sheet and circle it and not invent anything.
Ideas for painted valentines for Valentine's Day
For those who know the technique of drawing and watercolor, I give the following ideas. They are not complex, but very creative. Especially suitable for those who study at school in high school or university.
Cute drawings with a liner, helium pen or felt-tip pen have precise outlines.
Use a sheet from a music book or a page from an old book for the background.
The chemistry of love also has its graphic expression.
Or you can think and make a creative panel with your values.
Artists see the manifestation of love in everything that surrounds us. We just have to repeat after them.
Watercolors make more colorful drawings. You can reflect chiaroscuro and glare.
Or draw only the general outlines of the design.
You can only make an inscription.
Such drawings cause a lot of interest and curiosity, do you agree? And it’s not difficult to repeat them, you just need to get together with all your accuracy or just print the drawing you like. Attach it to the window and transfer the lines to a clean copy. I think everyone did this as a kid.
Valentine's Day Card Ideas for Kids
Now a few options for our little and very beloved ones. After all, they also want to contribute to this holiday.
I propose to start with a simple master class for making this postcard.
You will need a glue stick, scissors and three sheets of colored paper: red, yellow and green.
We cut a strip of 10 * 20 cm from a green sheet. Fold it in half and make two identical cuts from the side of the fold to the middle of the side. We bend the inner strip and unfold the workpiece.
Two red squares with sides 5 * 5 cm are applied to each other and bent in half.
Draw a half heart and cut out the details.
We glue them sides to each other and stick them on a green stem, which turned out on a green base. It remains to cut out the middle of the flower and leaves.
From the silhouettes of children's hands, great congratulations are also obtained, now I will show a selection.
From the hearts themselves, you can make funny animals: a kitten, a bunny, wings or an elephant calf.
Also, the kid will like to glue multi-colored blanks on a postcard. It will seem to him that they resemble balloons.
Submit an idea to make a love tree.
Or make a heart shape from round felt blanks.
