How to make hand-embroidered thank you cards
Tools/materials for making greeting cards: several envelopes, pieces of cardboard, embroidery thread, embroidery needles, sewing machine, scissors, ruler, cutting paper knife.
Simple and practical steps/methods for making hand-embroidered greeting cards
1. Cut the cardboard into a card slightly smaller than the envelope.
2. Use a sewing machine to punch holes. Have your sewing machine ready, do not thread the needle. Sew on cardboard according to your own design. You can use techniques such as quilting, paper clipping, chain stitching or zigzag stitching to vary the distance and design of the holes. If you are very skilled in stitching, you can also try to make two rows of parallel holes, and then use blanket stitching, feather stitching, or herringbone stitching techniques.
3. If you want to make a French knot, you can use a hand sewing needle or a sewing machine. Draw a circular area on the cardboard at the appropriate position and punch holes. If you want to make a small daisy, punch a small hole in the paper as the center, and then use the length of the sewing machine stitch as the radius to punch a circle of small holes around the outside of the hole.
4. After completing the first three steps, the embroidery template is ready. It should look similar to this.
5. Now start embroidering according to the template you designed. The author reminds readers that when embroidering on cardboard, it is best to sew only one stitch at a time. If you thread a lot of needles back and forth, you will get creases in the cardboard.
6. Use colored thread to thread from both sides to the middle, so that the flower feeling comes out.
7. Enjoy hand-embroidered greeting cards, use your creativity, and try as many stitches, patterns and colors as possible. Your creativity will surprise you! How to design cultural posters?
1. Hierarchical relationship of text division
We first divide the copy information into hierarchical levels according to the importance of the copy information, and arrange the primary and secondary information in order. Through the above simple hierarchical division, we depict embroidery as the theme, and adjust the size of other information to form a differentiated contrast. The layout adopts left and right composition, and the text information is processed well.
2. Carve text information
Because this project is about embroidery, it needs to reflect the elements of embroidery and Chinese tradition. It needs to use calligraphy fonts that can Improve the tonal accuracy of projects. The knitting effect is to make the text and the theme have a material connection, so as to be more in line with the tone of the project.
3. Detail optimization
Use the thickness and size of text, combined with geometric shapes, to form a contrast, making the visual form of information richer. Describe the information that needs to be highlighted. Key points are extracted and other information is displayed quietly.
4. Picture selection
The screen needs to display pictures related to embroidery, and we have selected some pictures that meet the requirements. By comparing the following two pictures, I found that the first one is more in line with the composition of the poster and has better visual presentation. We put the image into the poster and cut it to size. Those Chinese-style poster designs that amazed me
My understanding of film and television posters:
Taking my usual movie selection preferences as an example, whether the aesthetic design of promotional posters suits me , for me, it is a key factor that determines whether I choose to watch it. In other words, I think a good poster should have the kind of strong desire that can make the audience want to watch the movie. The most important thing for a poster designer is to express the things behind the film through his deep understanding of the film and through visual means. If he has a good grasp of the tone and plot of the film, he can express it skillfully. Come out, then I think it is a successful poster. International visual design master Holgo Matisse once said: "A good poster should rely on graphic language to speak, rather than rely on text to annotate."
The rise of cultural and creative trends in the Forbidden City in recent years , unknowingly shortening the distance between us and China’s five thousand-year history and culture.
I personally prefer things that are traditional, simple, elegant and have profound cultural heritage, so when I see the following film and television posters with oriental aesthetic design, I will stop and taste them a few times~
What impressed me the most was this poster of "The Legend of the Demon Cat". When the picture first came into my eyes, I was greeted by a strong atmosphere of hand-painted meticulous paintings. The three characters "The Legend of the Demon Cat" were written in calligraphy. The cold colors are very eye-catching against a background full of Chinese aesthetic elements. The composition of the picture adopts a symmetrical layout. The phoenix at the top of the picture is half hidden in the blue mist, with a slightly stunned expression. The main body of the picture, a slightly ferocious dragon-like creature, is actually a cat-like creature with an ancient building on its head. The blue peonies on both sides seem to hint at the women represented by cats and peonies, and the ups and downs women have suffered because of this ancient building. destiny.
The picture used in one of the promotional posters for the variety show "Here We Come" should be a close-up of the partial embroidery on the cheongsam. It is such a delicate and elegant garment made of gold threads interwoven with each other. We seem to be able to catch a glimpse of the graceful figures of the female guests wearing cheongsam, showing off the beauty of Oriental women. We can't help but look forward to it and want to find out.
I was amazed by this poster of "Monster Hunt". First of all, the atmosphere of the whole picture is very freehand, highlighting the ethereal artistic conception of an ink painting. The monster hunter is holding a whip in his hand. The wind is waving, and standing on a mountain peak is not afraid of the huge flying fish in front of me. The straight back of the standing figure leaves us with a picture of getting ready before a fierce battle. The two sides seem to be at war with each other. Such a picture of a mountain rain about to come and the wind filling the building. , which makes people want to see the grand battle.
The poster of "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" uses an ancient painting that is in urgent need of restoration. The traces of fragmentation of some cultural relics directly below the picture are clearly visible. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely not see such a good picture. The work is in damaged condition. I personally feel that the workers who restore cultural relics in the documentary treat cultural relics with the same level of precision as a doctor does when operating on a patient. They must understand every bit of the cultural relics and repair them as if they were new, restoring them to their original state. It resurrects and rejuvenates the painting, as if the torn painting was still, but after restoration, the bamboo forest in the painting seems to be swaying with the wind, and the two cranes may spread their wings to face the wind in the next step. Flying~
The international version of the promotional poster for "White Snake Origin" seems to combine international visual effects with traditional Chinese aesthetic thinking. The whole picture adopts a blank method to set off the artistic conception well, and lead us to shift the focus to the scene in the eyes of the white snake. A drop of tears about to fall will turn the misty world of beautiful memories in the eyes It creates a sad atmosphere, but there is a bit of tenderness and warmth in the coldness that touches my heart. I don’t need to spoil it, but I know it’s heart-wrenching.
The popular Chinese comic masterpiece "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" was a hit some time ago. I really have to say at this time that what I chose here is a poster about Taiyi Zhenren, just like everyone at that time Just like the complaints coming out of the cinema, the Taiyi real person who appeared this time is really refreshing. Contrary to everyone's impression of the fairy-like deity, he is actually a fool who rides a pig mount and is addicted to alcohol. Immortal. The entire poster has hand-painted lines and colors. Taiyi is lying leisurely on a piggy mount with his mouth wide open as if drinking. The top of his shoulders are piled with various fruits and gold and silver jewelry cultural relics, and the bottom is all gold ingots. Such a background It also brings out the character's personality and hobbies. The green lotus on the right seems to be a metaphor for Nezha.
Because when I was a child, I watched the Hong Kong version of "The Legend of the Gods". After Nezha got into trouble and killed the third prince of the Dragon King, the heavenly soldiers and generals came down to earth to question the crime. In order not to drag down his parents and the people of Chentangguan, he chose to commit suicide.
After his death, his master Taiyi Zhenren used lotus roots as his bones and lotus leaves as his muscles, and finally brought Nezha back to life. Because the scene where Nezha uses lotus roots to resurrect his body is still fresh in my memory, so since then, whenever I see lotus roots or lotus pods, I can’t help but think of Nezha.
Haha, after all, the resurrected Lotus Root Nezha is full of treasures! If you don’t believe it, take a look↓↓↓
