Draw the necessary templates separately on a sheet of cardboard. Further, all the details are cut out according to the number of flowers in the vase.
Separately made blanks of the vase and the table on which it stands. Begin to glue the card from the bottom parts. This is a pink table - a semicircle. A vase is glued to it. It remains to work on the colors themselves. For each individual element, it is necessary to choose blanks of different sizes. A flower is collected by gluing details from the largest to the smallest, moreover in a checkerboard pattern, with a shift of the petals. They should not overlap each other. When all four parts are glued, the edges of the petals are slightly bent upwards, so that it is voluminous.

Many craftswomen are fond of the new technique of making crafts from stripes - quilling. Elements are made by twisting thin strips of paper. Craft blanks are sold in many craft stores. Their color scheme is diverse, and there are strips of different widths. For convenience in work, you need to buy a paper hook, templates that help to make several identical parts of the same size, for example, do-it-yourself petals for the "Volumetric flower from paper" postcard.
To make these daffodils you need to buy white, orange, yellow, green and light green stripes. You will also need PVA glue and a thin brush.
Do-it-yourself voluminous flowers on a greeting card - step by step
1. The first to produce the core of flowers. To do this, we begin to wind a tight green strip. Glue yellow to the end, and winding continues. The last layer is orange, the end of the strip is glued to the last turn.
2. Press the inside of the circle with your finger, and you get a concave middle of the flower. We place them in random order, but at a distance from each other, gluing to PVA.
3. Now we begin to twist the white stripes according to the selected pattern on the line for quilling. Having prepared all the petals and glued the edge, squeeze them a little to give the correct shape.
4. Glue the petals around the middle by spreading the PVA glue with a brush on the end of the petal.
5. Then make the leaves. Alternating light green and dark green colors, we freely twist the leaves. Then we press the resulting circle so that we get long identical leaves. They are glued in the shape of a fan - from the middle to the sides.
Felt flowers
Such a voluminous postcard with flowers can be made using felt. This is a soft and comfortable material that is often taken by craftsmen for making flowers. The card below is dedicated to Valentine's Day, so felt flowers are made in the shape of hearts. They are cut with sharp scissors according to the drawn pattern.
To make the card look voluminous, make it layered. To do this, you will need to do a rather complicated job. On the top sheet of thick paper, you must first draw the contours of the branches with leaves, and then, laying on a wooden board, carefully cut with a sharp knife or chisel.
Under the prepared sheet, you need to put green colored paper and glue them together. At the end, glue hearts from felt and sign wishes.
How to make a volumetric postcard?
DIY flowers can be made not only on the top of the card, but also inside. Such products look impressive, but it is not difficult to make them. You need white thick paper, green thin and pastel chalk. On the inner fold we place several identical colors cut from white paper. They are made by folding the paper several times. Cut one petal, then unfold the leaf. It turns out several identical petals with folds. This gives volume to the flowers. Glue them in a circle on one side, leaving the middle free. At the end, you need to glue the last flower to the central part. The edges of the petals sticking up are glued to the flower located in the middle.
The center of each flower is optionally painted. Then green leaves are glued around the flower arrangement in random order.
Bouquet
Such a voluminous postcard with flowers inside is done with your own hands simply. When folded, two cuts are made on the card, bending the cut parts inward. It turns out an envelope of a bouquet. These two triangles are sealed with any color as desired. You can wrap the narrow part with tape or stick a bow, as in the photo below.
It remains to make each flower separately and stick all the details on the inside of the envelope. Flowers are cut according to patterns. They consist of the same parts, only of different sizes. For stems take a thick cardboard so that their flowers do not bend.
