A flittering butterfly message card
For graduation or end-of-year messages, how about a spring-like card where butterflies flutter out when you open the page? For the spinning butterfly parts, use translucent origami as the base and add weight with hot glue from a glue gun.
Fix the thread with the glue gun as well.
After writing your message, wind the thread and place the card in an envelope; when it’s opened, the butterfly will start spinning.
Unlike ordinary message cards, the unexpected motion adds a playful touch, making it a memorable card.

A Town with an Ocean View – All That Jazz
This is an adorable card where a flower opens up to reveal a message inside.
Being able to hold the stem part in your hand is a big plus, too.
After rolling paper to make the stem, fold a sheet of colored construction paper into quarters and cut it into a heart shape.
While it’s still folded, decorate it with stamps to make it cute, then write your message inside and fold it back up.
Attach it to the stem, and tie a ribbon at the base of the stem to make it even cuter.
You’ll have a lovely card you’ll want to keep on display forever.

![[Camera-shaped] Pop-up card that opens](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnYybZjwULc/sddefault.jpg)
Let’s make an easy and cute pop-up message card.
A message card on its own is a delightful gift, but adding a handmade touch or a clever mechanism will make children even more excited.
So, let’s try making a pop-up card where the message springs out from inside.
This camera-shaped card is simple to make: when you open it, a film strip pops out.
You can write your message on the accordion-style insert created with mountain and valley folds.
Give it a try for birthday cards or other commemorative occasions.
[Nordic style] Message frame

If you draw a Scandinavian-style message frame, it will turn out cute yet stylish.
There are many possible patterns, so the ability to create rich variations is part of this idea’s appeal.
For example, you could draw an apple—use one half as the area for writing your message and fill the other half with a vivid red.
It’s fine to reference existing designs, and adding your own twist can be fun, too.
Using mild markers tends to give it a soft, gentle look.
Pop-up card full of flowers

Why not make a handmade pop-up card that reveals a message when opened and send a congratulatory telegram to graduating preschoolers? By choosing your own colored cardstock, decorative stickers and tape, and illustrations, you can create an original pop-up card.
Use a heartfelt, handmade card to convey your congratulations and feelings to the children.
You can find paper punches for cutting shapes and a variety of materials at 100-yen shops and similar stores.
If you make a fun card, the children will be delighted and surprised when they see it after the graduation ceremony.
Gimmick Card

There’s no one who wouldn’t be happy to receive this! It’s a handmade message card featuring heart-themed mechanisms.
There are all kinds of ideas, from simple, cute designs where you slip the card into a heart-shaped envelope, to ones with a pull tab that flips the card when you tug it.
With its adorable look and playful mechanisms, it’s perfect for reading or displaying—and it’s sure to delight! If you’re confident in your sense of style, this is your chance to show off your skills.
A card where a bear pops out

Message cards are delightful to receive on their own, but if it’s a card where a cute bear pops out of the present when you flip it open, the card itself is extra adorable and really stands out.
This card comes with a template, so you can paste the template onto construction paper and cut around it to easily prepare the materials.
You can draw the bear’s face however you like to add your personal touch.
Drawing it with your child’s likeness in mind might also be a hit.
You can practically see the joy on the children’s faces.
