Packed with surprises! Congratulations card
When you open the card, various pop-up elements appear.
The first page features colorful balloons that can be used for group messages.
Open it further and you’ll find motifs of a pencil, an eraser, an album, a blackboard, a bouquet, and a graduation certificate.
For children about to graduate from kindergarten, it’s a piece that helps them imagine the elementary school they’ll soon attend.
Each section allows you to attach photos or write messages, so why not add one to accompany the graduation certificate? You can make everything with colored construction paper.
A surprise letter where you can attach photos!
Having a photo on the graduation certificate makes it even more memorable, doesn’t it? But simply sticking on a photo would be a waste! Create interactive elements for an album or gift to add a special touch.
All you need are construction paper and origami paper.
Cut the construction paper into strips, accordion-fold it, and attach a cover using your favorite origami paper to complete the album.
For the gift, fold a strip of construction paper in half and glue it, then attach origami paper to one side.
Make three of these, combine them so they slide vertically, and you’ll create a three-tier gift box effect.

It’s so nice that you can stand it up for display! Here are some ideas for a card you can use for group messages.
Many preschools and kindergartens have teachers write messages to the children who are graduating, right? This idea is perfect for that.
The card is tri-fold, and if you include a space to attach a photo, it can double as a photo stand.
The group message section uses a balloon motif that pops open, so the children will be excited to read the messages! Give it a try.
A handmade pop-up Miffy card
A whimsical card where Miffy pops out of a bouquet is a lovely idea that brings a smile to whoever receives it.
Although it looks tricky, the mechanism is actually very simple, so give it a try! Make two slits in a white sheet of cardstock to serve as the base, creating a mechanism that lets a piece of clear plastic rotate.
Attach the Miffy you traced onto white paper and the yellow strip to the mechanism you just made.
Create a bouquet to hide the mechanism and glue it onto the base.
Be careful not to glue down the yellow strip, as it forms the pop-up action.
Finish the bouquet with punched-out flowers and a ribbon! Share a warm, handmade touch on a special day.
Stylish Nordic-style floral decorative frame
Here are two ideas for floral decorative frames that will instantly brighten up a plain message card.
The first is a design with a bouquet drawn in the lower left corner, using a longer ribbon that extends to form the frame.
The second idea is to draw flowers and leaves along the edge of the card to create a square border.
For both, start by sketching the petals and leaves, then add flower centers and leaf veins with a fine black pen.
Using a black pen to render the delicate details tightens the illustration and gives it a refined, stylish finish.
A pop-up card with cherry blossoms jumping out
Let’s send the children off with a spring flower motif! This is a cute and festive message card made with baby pink construction paper or origami.
When you open the card, there’s an adorable decoration in the center that looks like a cluster of cherry blossoms, and adding cherry blossom petals to the corners will keep the decoration from looking plain and make it even more vibrant.
It would be nice to paste photos and write messages about the memories of the days you spent together.
Your feelings are sure to reach the children!
Easy! Cherry Blossom Pop-up Card
100-yen shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.
Here’s a pop-up card you can make using materials you can easily get at these familiar stores! The cherry blossoms, a symbol of spring, are perfect for celebrating graduation from kindergarten.
Make a base with white construction paper and cut slits for the pop-up mechanism.
By changing the length of the slits, you can create different depths, so adjust as you like.
Once you attach cherry blossom message cards to the slits, the pop-up feature is complete.
Decorate with your preferred design, then attach the base to a cover to finish.
It’s very simple, yet it delivers surprise and delight when opened.
Give it a try!
