A pop-up card with flowers
Let me introduce an idea for a pop-up flower card.
You’ll need origami paper, colored construction paper, scissors, craft glue, paste, a small plate, a pencil, and a round chopstick.
First, cut four sheets of origami paper into circles, fold them, and then cut them into petal shapes.
Next, attach the petal-shaped origami pieces onto a colored paper base.
Finally, add a butterfly made from yellow paper, and you’re done! Celebrate new beginnings with a warm, handmade card.
[100-Yen Shop] Message Card Made with Artificial Flowers

This is a message card with a three-dimensional, glamorous feel that incorporates artificial flowers.
Since you’ll be attaching 3D elements to the base later, it’s recommended to reinforce it by layering paper or adding borders.
Attach a sheet for writing your message to one half of the base, and artificial flowers to the other half.
Instead of gluing the artificial flowers as they are, it may look softer if you tear off the petals and adhere them individually.
Consider adding beads or small flower-shaped paper pieces as well, and aim for a design that makes the artificial flowers and the message stand out.

This is an idea where, when you open the card, a flower wreath and a message pop up.
A folded base card is combined with a mechanism sheet that has slits folded in the opposite direction, and flowers are attached to that mechanism section.
Arrange small flowers on a circular piece of paper to create a wreath.
If you want to put a message inside the ring, it’s best to write it before attaching the wreath.
Another key point is that making the mechanism and the circular paper the same color makes the wreath look like it’s floating.
Incorporating kraft paper nicely also helps create a soft, warm feel.
An idea where the character pops out when pulled
Let’s add a surprise to a bouquet! Here’s an idea where a character pops out when you pull it.
You’ll need a message card, thick paper, double-sided tape, scissors, a craft knife, clear parts like pieces from a clear file, and an illustration.
First, cut a hole in the thick paper with the craft knife, then attach the clear parts and double-sided tape.
Make a bouquet out of construction paper and attach it together with the illustration.
Finally, stick the paper bouquet onto the message card, and you’re done! The little illustration peeking out from the bouquet is adorable, and kids will love it.
Give it a try!
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.
Simple open heart
Here’s a simple opening heart message card.
You’ll need light pink construction paper, a ruler, scissors, and a craft knife.
First, cut the paper with scissors to make it a square.
Next, crease the paper, then fold along the creases and cut it into a heart shape.
Finally, tie the message card with a ribbon made from the same paper, and you’re done! When you unfold the small hearts, they transform into a large clover-like shape, giving the card a gentle, charming feel.
A handmade card with blooming flowers
A pop-up card that blooms like a flower when opened is delightful not only for its message but also for its bright and cute look.
You can make it easily by cutting your favorite colored paper into flower shapes, folding them so they pop up, and attaching them to a card.
Many experienced teachers may have many schools or kindergartens to which they send congratulatory messages.
This idea is both eye-catching and easy to make, so it’s highly recommended.
The children will also be happy to know that their teacher remembered them.
