A balloon that can be opened to write a message
Introducing a balloon-themed card that opens up so you can write a message inside.
You’ll need: cardstock for the base, three colors of cardstock for the balloons, colored pens, glue, scissors, a craft knife, and a ruler.
First, cut the balloon cardstock into long narrow strips and fold them in half.
Next, leaving the top portion connected, cut them into a balloon shape.
Finally, glue them onto the base and write your message to finish! You can customize the number of balloons and their patterns, so it’s fun to design them to match the graduating children or the venue decorations.
Balloon pop-up card
Balloons are a perfect motif for festive occasions, aren’t they? This is a pop-up message card with a fun look of balloons floating.
On the mechanism sheet layered onto the base, make two slits that fold back in the opposite direction.
Use one as a box holding the balloons, and the other as the base for balloons popping out of the box.
Attach paper cut into balloon shapes so they pop out slightly, and add strings to each balloon.
By not gluing the strings anywhere and letting them move freely, you can convey the buoyant feeling of floating balloons.
The key point is whether you can capture that lightly raised, three-dimensional effect.

Here’s an idea for a card featuring cute 3D hearts.
You’ll need message cardstock, colored cardstock for the base, heart shapes in various colors, scissors, a craft knife, and glue.
First, fold the base cardstock in half, cut it into a semicircle, and insert the message cardstock.
Next, fold the colorful hearts in half to make them three-dimensional and attach them to the cover.
Finally, scatter some heart shapes on the message cardstock as well, and you’re done! It’s a message card characterized by its charming, cute hearts.

Here’s an idea for a pop-up memory card.
You’ll need thick paper, a ruler, a pencil, glue, double-sided tape, a craft knife, scissors, a base piece of cardstock, and photos.
Over the days spent with friends and teachers, the children have grown both in mind and body.
How about celebrating their growth with a photo message card? Looking back through photos may help some children remember the little moments of everyday life.
Give it a try and make a pop-up memory message card!
A heart card that spins around when opened

Naked Heart – Aimyon
Open it and be amazed! Here’s a card with a spinning heart that twirls when you open it.
You’ll need colored cardstock for the base, cardstock for the mechanism, heart-shaped cardstock, scissors, a craft knife, tape, double-sided tape, and thread.
First, cut a circular window in the mechanism cardstock and attach the thread across it.
Next, sandwich the thread by attaching the heart-shaped cardstock with double-sided tape.
Finally, adhere the mechanism piece to the colored base cardstock—and you’re done! How about sending love to kids with a twirling heart?
A pop-up card with a bouquet that sprouts up
When you lift the ribbon on the bouquet, a character pops out from among the flowers! The glamorous bouquet and delightful mechanism will further heighten the excitement of children celebrating their graduation from kindergarten.
Cut a vertical slit in the center of the bouquet’s base, then set a character with a tab attached to its back.
Thread the tab through the slit so it appears on the surface, and glue on the ribbon to complete the mechanism! For the flowers, it’s best to punch out identical shapes using a craft punch.
Choose the flower colors to match the character that appears, creating a unified look.
A pop-up card with a bouquet of cherry blossoms
We hope the cherry blossoms will be in bloom for the preschool graduation ceremony, but depending on the timing and the weather, they might not have opened yet or may have already fallen.
So how about a pop-up card featuring a bouquet of cherry blossoms that lets you give children the beauty of sakura no matter the conditions? It’s a three-dimensional piece made by turning paper-cut cherry blossoms into a bouquet.
I think this idea could be incorporated if you’re using a spread-style graduation certificate, so please feel free to use it as a reference.
Though it takes some effort, it will surely bring out the children’s wonderful, surprised smiles.
