Flake stickers are die-cut one by one along their designs.

They’re sold at variety shops and 100-yen stores, and are popular because you can stick them in planners or on letters.

By using these flake stickers, you can make decorative cards with three-dimensional designs.

When attaching the flake stickers to the card, use felt.

Cut the felt into small squares and use wood glue to stick it to the back of the flake stickers.

Then glue the felt-backed stickers onto the card with wood glue to create a raised, textured design.

If you decorate by adding craft beads or rhinestones alongside the stickers, you’ll end up with an even more charming card.

It might also be nice to use stickers that match the season of the older person’s birthday.

Let’s make a pop-up message board that surprises seniors when they open it.

Pop-up boards may look complicated, so some people might think, “That seems hard to make.” It depends on the design, but there are easy ones too.

For example, make a spiral shape out of thick paper or construction paper and put double-sided tape on both ends.

With a folding message board, sandwich the spiral while attaching the double-sided tape.

Press the folded board firmly to secure it.

When you open the board, the spiral paper will pop out.

Attach photos or cards with written messages.

It’s also nice to make and stick on seasonal flowers like cherry blossoms or sunflowers out of construction paper.

Pop-up card with balloons and presents

Classic: How to Make a Simple Pop-Up Birthday Card

This is a pop-up card with balloons and a gift that you can not only open but also move and play with.

It’s recommended for anyone who wants to make a birthday card with simple decorations.

First, make the gift box using origami.

Attach colorful origami paper onto a belt-shaped strip of rectangular paper, checking that it moves as you go.

Next, make the ribbons to attach to the box and the belt, and finish by attaching the balloons.

Adding touches like garlands or hanging decorations will make it even more festive.

Try creating a card to celebrate an older adult by adding photos and messages.

Pop-up! Photos and Messages

How to make pop-up collection cards with photos and messages

How about a collection card that bursts open with multiple photos and messages when you unfold it? It’s three-dimensional and makes a bigger impact than simply sticking photos on a page.

The pop-up mechanism can be a bit tricky, but the rest of the steps are simple.

The papers you attach could be group messages, or photos capturing the everyday life of the older adult you’re gifting it to.

It’s handy to prepare several cards up to the pop-up stage when you have time.

Give it a try!

Photo in a cut-out window

This is a message card where you insert a photo into a cut-out window and give it as a gift.

Create it using a photo that features the birthday celebrant—an older adult, a family member, or a friend—as the theme.

First, fold the card in half and cut out a shape you like in the center.

If you make a fan-shaped window, adding Japanese-style decorations is recommended.

You can also attach washi paper or tissue paper to the inside of the card to make it more festive.

Finish by writing a congratulatory message around the photo, along with flowers and chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Try incorporating the birthday person’s hobbies into the design when you make it.

Pop-up cake made from washi (Japanese paper)

How to Make a “Pop-Out Cake” Birthday Card – Pop-up, Handmade, 3D, Easy ❤︎ DIY / Birthday Cake Pop-up Card / Easy Tutorial ❤︎ Handcraft #653

This is a birthday card that expresses a fluffy cake sponge using washi paper.

It has a distinctly Japanese feel, so it’s a great choice for gifting to seniors on their birthdays.

First, draw the cake layout on the base sheet and cut it while making folds.

When you open the card, a three-dimensional cake pops out to the front.

Next, attach pieces of washi paper to create the sponge, whipped cream, and fruit.

Tearing the paper into random sizes, like in a collage, helps convey the cake’s fluffy texture.

Finally, add candles and a message to finish.

Try choosing a theme—like matcha or strawberry—before you start crafting!

A heart full of kindness and a bouquet of flowers

[Graduation/Celebration] How to Make a Pop-Up Bouquet and Heart Message Card

For a 100th birthday celebration, a message card is a thoughtful, understated gift that’s sure to be appreciated.

A pop-up card with a bouquet and heart mechanisms is a great choice because it offers a delightful surprise and a touch of elegance when opened.

Although it looks intricate, it’s easier to make than you might think—give it a try.

Start by creating the pop-up bouquet, then make four of the heart mechanisms.

When unfolded, the heart mechanism looks like a four-leaf clover, which is very cute.

Write your message inside the heart mechanisms, and you’re done.
