Paper quilling, where you simply roll strips with a special tool to create parts, is easy yet adds a cute touch to message cards.
By using quilling paper in various colors to complete a single piece, you can achieve a three-dimensional effect that’s different from illustrations.
If you’re an experienced instructor, creating a design full of originality is also recommended.
You can almost see the children’s amazed faces.
It’s a stylish message card that will color the children’s new beginning along with your message.

Message cards that can display photos are recommended because you can keep them up in your room not just at graduation, but long after.
Photos taken with teachers and friends can instantly bring back those fun memories the moment you look at them.
You can, of course, include a photo inside the card along with your message, but it’s also a great idea to make it so the card doubles as a photo frame.
Here are message card ideas we hope you’ll find helpful—so your memories won’t fade even as a new chapter of life begins.
A flip-through pop-up card
How about a message card with a mechanism that reveals messages and photos one after another as you pull it? It may seem difficult to make, but you simply cut thin slits in a piece of cardstock for the base, crease it, then attach other pieces of cardstock—on which you’ve written messages or placed photos—to align with those creases.
Finish by decorating with colored paper for the cover, and you’re done.
Despite its eye-catching, dynamic effect, it’s made with a simple process of just cutting and pasting, so give it a try!
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for handmade message cards to give during graduation season.
Cards made with construction paper, origami, and everyday materials are perfect for kids.
Cards that move when opened or have pop-up elements are sure to bring a smile the moment they’re received.
Send your heartfelt thanks to someone special with a card made with love.
