1. Minimalist cards with embroidery
Minimum effort - but what a result! Even a beginner needlewoman can make such embroidery on a card. To make the drawing more accurate, you can first draw it on tracing paper or thin paper, then, after attaching the paper to the card, embroider and remove the paper. To make the pattern look as neat and minimalist from the inside as it is outside, you can not stretch the threads on the inside, but make small knots and put the needle into the same hole.

2. Postcards with painted Christmas toys
For such cards you need dense craft paper, watercolors, a brush and a pen-liner of white (or another, of your choice) color. First, we draw the silhouettes of toys (you can use the above patterns), then, until the paint has dried, we decorate them with glare (if there is gold paint - great, ocher will do). When the drawing dries, add patterns with a pen.
