How to make the number 9 for Victory Day. The best greeting card ideas with flowers
Victory Day is a great day for the country. In May 1945, the Great Patriotic War ended and a new period of history began, which would have been impossible without the heroic feat of our dear veterans. Congratulations and signs of attention are only a small part of what we can give in gratitude to the heroes, and a gift in which our soul is invested will help us share a piece of warmth and memory with them. Make greeting cards for May 9 with your own hands or with your children, and we will tell you how.
Great Victory Day
In 2017 we celebrate the 71st anniversary of the Great Victory. The heroes and heroines who fought many years ago for the happy future of the Motherland showed perseverance both at that time and later. Time is inexorable, their ranks have thinned. But the memory lives on, and veterans will once again share their stories with the modern generation on this significant day.
Give them a piece of yourself, show your attention by adding warm words with a bouquet of red carnations and a heartfelt card made by yourself. Even if it’s just a trifle, the veterans, these amazing grandparents, will be incredibly pleased.
An ordinary postcard from a store is full of bright colors, but lacks individuality and has no warmth. Making an original card yourself is not so difficult; you can use ready-made ideas or show your imagination by creating your own masterpiece. In addition, it is easy to involve children in this exciting process. There are many techniques in which you can make a postcard for May 9:

Carnations do not have to be red; pink or white look good on a postcard for May 9; in this case, it is better to make the base from colored cardboard. White carnations can be decorated; to do this, at the stage of cutting out round blanks, you should draw a line along the edges with a red or pink felt-tip pen.
In addition to the star, the postcard can be decorated with a dove, which is also a symbol of victory. You can simply cut it out of white cardboard, drawing wings, eyes, etc. Or fold it out of paper using the origami technique and the corresponding diagram.
If you have a real St. George's ribbon, you can not just stick it on, but tie it in a bow, securing it at the base of a bouquet of carnations.
Front triangle
These treasured triangles were awaited with bated breath. News from the front came in triangular envelopes. A card like this with a congratulation embedded in it is a touching sign of attention. To do it, you need:
- White sheet (A4).
- Brewed black tea.
- Colored paper (red, green, orange, pink).
- Glue and scissors.
- St. George's ribbon or orange double-sided paper.
The process itself is quite labor-intensive, but not that complicated:
- Using tea leaves, paint a sheet of paper using a sponge. Dry it. This technique will age the paper, giving it a touch of a previous era.
- On one side of the sheet write or print a congratulation to veterans, on the other (along the right side, closer to the right corner) - the inscription “Happy Victory Day” and an impromptu postal stamp above it.
- Fold the sheet, bending the upper right corner towards the left side to form an even sharp corner.
- Fold the upper left corner to the right, towards the lower border of the previous fold.
- Bend the corners of the lower rectangle on both sides towards the base of the upper part. Tuck the lower part into the upper.
- Cut out a star from red colored paper according to the template and fold it along the fold lines.
- From white, cut out three blanks for apple tree flowers. To do this, you can also use a template or carefully cut the blanks into 5 petals. The radius of the workpiece is about 3.5 cm. Make each workpiece more voluminous by pushing through the middle with the blunt side of a pencil.
- Cut several very thin strips for the stamens (5-7 per flower). Glue them into the middle of each piece, painting the ends yellow.
- Cut out circles for the core (1-1.5 cm) from pink paper, cut them along the contour with scissors and glue them into each flower on top of the stamens. Bend the latter slightly upward.
- Cut a square (4x4 cm) from green paper, fold it diagonally, draw the outline of the leaf and cut it out. Make a small cut at the base of each leaf, bend it slightly and glue it, this will give the workpiece volume.
- If you don’t have a ready-made St. George’s ribbon, you can draw black stripes on orange double-sided paper. Glue the tape, placing it along the left side of the triangle (the plane without the inscription), then fold it at the top, move it a little along the second side and bend the tip again.
- Glue the star blank in the left corner of the triangle.
- Glue a green leaf between the two folds of the tape and three apple flowers on top of it.
You can decorate such a card with other elements at your discretion.

Greeting card using quilling technique
Such cards can be made at any age; quilling is a fascinating activity with which you can create real masterpieces. It is easy to make an original postcard for May 9 according to the proposed scheme or put any design on paper at your discretion and design it using the same technology. Veterans will be pleased to receive such a voluminous card with a spectacular design and heartfelt wishes inside.
Thematic correspondence with the Victory Day is achieved not only through the main symbolism, but also through the use of the colors of the St. George ribbon: black and orange (red) - the colors of gunpowder and fire. For production you need:
- Watercolor paper or thick cardboard for the base (A4).
- Colored paper (black, orange).
- Toothpick or wooden skewer for quilling.
- Glue and a brush for it.
- Scissors.
You may need round patterns (a special ruler with circles of different diameters) and templates of letters and numbers printed on a printer; with their help, the entire composition will turn out smooth and neat.
The work must be done in the following order:
If the quilling technique seems too complicated, then using a similar scheme you can fill the outline with balls rolled from colored napkins, torn into pieces of different sizes.
From balls made from a red napkin, you can lay out the outline of a star and the inscription “May 9”, gluing them to the base. Such a card will be effectively complemented by voluminous apple tree flowers, the manufacturing process of which was described above. It is best to take as a basis not white paper, but colored designer paper (golden or silver), craft paper, or artificially aged paper.
The European tradition of making postcards goes back hundreds of years. A handmade card is a wonderful way to show someone how special they are to you and how much you appreciate everything they have done.

How to make a carnation for a greeting card?
A postcard with a bouquet of scarlet carnations and words of gratitude will warm the heart of your recipient for a long time
Below are two options for creating a paper carnation.
Option 1
Necessary materials:
- Three-layer red napkin
- Scissors
- Threads
Important: one napkin can produce 8 flowers with a diameter of 7 cm
- Take a napkin and carefully tear off thin strips (up to 5 mm) from each edge along the perimeter of the napkin
- Fold the resulting square with “shaggy” edges in half and make a fold. Tear the square into two parts along the fold line. You should end up with 8 identical rectangles
- Fold each rectangle into an accordion shape. Secure in the center using any available method: using thread, wire or paper strip
- Gently layer each layer of napkin, lifting the resulting petals upward, forming a flower
Option #2
Necessary materials:
- Corrugated/crepe or colored double-sided flower paper, preferably in red shades
- Green colored paper for the stem and leaves
- Thick colored cardboard for background
- Glue or stapler
- Regular or curly scissors
How to do:
- Cut out circles from paper. The diameter of the circle depends on the size of the postcard and may vary.
If you are using
- colored paper - you will need 3-4 circles
- corrugated paper - 5-6 circles
The splendor of the finished flower depends on the number of circles and the thickness of the paper.
- Place a drop of glue in the center of one of the paper circles, place the next circle on it, and press lightly to glue it together. Glue all the circles together in a similar manner. Or you can take a simpler route and fasten the circles using a regular stationery stapler
- Fold the glued stack in half. You will get a semicircle. Fold the semicircle in half again
- Make cuts using sharp scissors. Direction of cuts: from edge to center
- Unfold the workpiece. This will give you a blooming flower. You will get a half-opened bud if you leave the workpiece folded
- Cut out a stem with a cup and a leaf from green paper
- Place the stem and flower on the base sheet to create the desired composition
- Glue the parts to the base sheet. Gently fluff the paper petals to form a flower head. Your carnation is ready. This way you can create a bouquet of 3-5 flowers

Postcard ideas for May 9
To create postcards, you can use completely different techniques, the simplest, and therefore the most popular, are drawing and appliqué. Such cards are usually made from cardboard or paper, and they depict red carnations, white doves, a five-pointed star, St. George's ribbon, the Soviet banner, military equipment, fireworks, orders, the Eternal Flame, etc.
The background for a postcard can be very different. The easiest way is to make it a single color, for example, red, white, blue or green. Fireworks or military equipment are often depicted in the background. In addition, the background for the postcard can be a photo of a major battle, a map of the capture of Berlin, or a wartime document. Such images can be found in old newspapers, magazines or books, or they can be printed on a printer. Aged paper looks beautiful. Achieving the desired effect is very simple - paint a sheet of white paper with strong brewed coffee, and then lightly burn its edges with a candle.
A mandatory component of a postcard dedicated to Victory Day should be the inscription “Victory Day”, “Happy Victory Day”, “May 9”. Often these elements are the basis of postcards.
Drawn postcards, like any other, can be made single-sided or in the form of a book, inside which you can write wishes and congratulations. Before you start making it, think carefully about the composition. You can come up with designs for postcards yourself or copy images from old postcards or posters. For example, you can draw a card like this:
To make it, first make a sketch using a soft pencil. Draw the number nine in the usual way, then give it volume and draw flowers around it.
Add stems to the flowers and draw stripes on the number
Write the necessary inscriptions and decorate the card with additional details, such as fireworks.
Now color the image with paints or pencils
You can try to draw such a postcard
or draw a card with carnations
Applique postcards
Beautiful cards can be created using the appliqué method. Let's consider several options for their manufacture.
Option 1
From colored paper, cut out 5 lily of the valley flowers, two parts of a leaf from different shades of green paper, a nine and a blank for the St. George ribbon. Draw stripes on the workpiece with yellow paint.
After this, glue all the elements onto colored cardboard.

To create similar products, you can use any other sketches for postcards that are suitable for the theme.
Option 2 – postcard with voluminous carnations
You will need a sheet of cardboard, red or pink napkins, glue, colored paper.
Progress:
Without laying out the napkin, draw a circle on one of its sides and then cut it out. As a result, you should have four identical circles. Fold them in half, then in half again and secure the resulting corner with a stapler. Make many cuts on the rounded edge and “fluff” the resulting strips. To make the flower more magnificent, you can fasten two such blanks together. After this, make two more flowers.
Next, you need to make the remaining parts of the flower from green paper. To do this, cut out a small square from paper. Fold the shape diagonally and cut one of its edges as shown in the photo. Now bend the two ends of the figure inward and glue the prepared flower into it.

- Form voluminous petals. To do this, fold each circle exactly in half, fold a small edge, glue it, and then unfold it. Do the same with all the circles.
- From the remaining pink paper, cut out 3 more circles with a diameter of 3 centimeters. Place one drop of glue along the edges at approximately the same distance.
- Glue 5 petals onto each circle so that each of them faces the previous one with one side.
- Roll a small piece of yellow paper into a tight ball and glue it into the center of each flower using glue.
- On a sheet of white paper, using a simple pencil, draw a dove in duplicate.
- Cut out the image of the first bird strictly along the contour, and in the area of the wings of the second, move 1-2 millimeters away from the edge so that one of the pigeons turns out to be slightly smaller than the other.
- Make a few cuts on the wings and tail of the smaller pigeon and gently twist the paper with your fingers until it begins to curl.
- Glue the finished pigeons together with glue, leaving the feathers, tail and beak free and not adjacent to each other.
- Take rectangular blue cardboard and outline the relative location of the composition. After this, it should become clear how much free space remains.
- Using a dark blue wax crayon, write “May 9” in the center of the sheet. Using a yellow chalk, add dimension to the letters. Using red chalk just above the inscription, draw a sun with rays. On the right side, closer to the edge, glue a dove, and on the left side, from the middle, from top to bottom, glue flowers with petals. Cut a twig from green paper and glue it into the dove's beak.
- Leave the card on the table for a while so that the glue dries well. Then present the product to someone as a gift or present it as a copy for a school competition.
Every year on May 9, on the great Victory Day, we honor the heroes who, at the cost of their lives, youth and health, gave us a peaceful sky back in 1945.

Instructions on how to make a beautiful postcard for May 9 from paper with templates step by step
- Our postcard will be one-sided, so first of all we cut out a 15 by 10 cm rectangle from thick orange or golden cardboard.
- Then we need to make templates from ordinary white cardboard or thick paper - for this we draw drops, stars, oblong petals with a simple pencil. Then we cut out the templates and use them to make blanks: 5 drops from orange paper, 10 petals from red paper, 3 stars of different sizes (2 orange and 1 yellow). Cut out the blanks and set them aside.
- We also cut out a long wide strip from orange paper, and from black paper a strip of the same length, but narrower. Then cut the black one into 3 identical strips.
- Let's move on to the design of the postcard. We glue the tulips first - first we place the drops on the glue, and then the petals on the sides, forming flower buds in two rows.
- Now glue a wide orange strip diagonally. It should slightly overlap the bottom row of tulips.
- Glue thin black stripes on top of the orange stripe - the St. George ribbon is ready. We also glue a large star, slightly overlapping the tape.
- Glue the remaining star blanks on top of the main one and let the applique dry.
- All that remains is to add a congratulatory inscription. To do this, we lay out the inscription “May 9” from thinly rolled plasticine. Ready!
