Draw with a dot pen! A clover celebration card
https://www.tiktok.com/@yukarin_fudeart/video/7347285824029052161The dot pen you often see on social media has a rounded tip that lets you easily draw neat dots.
The size and shape change depending on the pressure and angle, allowing for a variety of expressions—that’s the charm.
Let’s use a dot pen to make a handmade congratulatory card.
A four-leaf clover is said to be a symbol of happiness.
Draw each petal as if you’re drawing a heart.
The trick is to move the pen lightly without pressing hard.
Try changing colors, making a three-leaf clover, or adding a butterfly or ladybug.
Finish by writing a message with a brush pen.
It’s a perfect celebratory card for a gentle spring day—do try delivering it handmade.
Cute! Brush lettering art
Let’s try brush-lettering art using a brush pen.
With just one brush pen, you can draw both thick and thin lines and create smooth curves, making it a great tool when you want to write round, cute characters.
Here, after writing the phrase “Sotsuen omedetō” (Congratulations on your graduation), ears and facial expressions are added to the characters “o” and “u” to depict a cat and a bear.
A dot pen is also used to add rosy cheeks, a garland, and flowers.
Try writing while thinking about which animals you can represent with which letters and how you can arrange them.
Card-sized greeting card
https://www.tiktok.com/@chiko303/video/7481201117074885896The yellow kindergarten bag is a cherished companion for the walk to school, on sunny days and rainy days alike.
This is a hand-drawn illustration featuring that very school bag as the main motif.
It’s made in a card size, so it’s easy to tuck in with a bouquet or a small gift—an idea with lots of uses.
There’s space to write a name on the bag and a short message on the inside of the shoulder strap.
Add cherry blossoms in the blank space for a perfect graduation-season touch! If you want variation in the illustration, try including elements like a medal or a graduation certificate.

While kraft postcards are simple and easy to use, they can feel a bit plain when you want to send a heartfelt message.
So let’s elevate a kraft postcard into something special with a hand-drawn illustration! You can draw anything you like, but use a pen in the same color as the postcard and choose a graduation-from-kindergarten theme.
It’s recommended to feature animal characters that children love, add cherry blossoms, and include a “Congratulations” message.
Since the idea is to make the most of the kraft postcard, try expressing everything in a single color without adding any extra coloring.
Bouquet with a secret message
https://www.tiktok.com/@niconico_mama/video/7474198361520835861This idea hides a little surprise that you won’t notice when you first receive the bouquet.
The trick is a message written on the inside of the colored paper base.
At first it looks like an ordinary bouquet, but in a quiet moment you discover a heartwarming note like “Congratulations” or “Thank you”—a lovely touch.
The flowers themselves are made using stamps created from straws, but you can also make them with origami or by combining round stickers—feel free to express it however you like.
If you’re looking for a heartfelt gift, please feel free to use this as inspiration.

Cute bird message card
@kotomii_illustration05 Three celebratory bird-themed lettering arrangements 🌸 Let’s make cute tweaks using just one red pen❣️Cute illustrationCongratulations messageGraduation#Graduation from kindergartenTranslation
♬ Original Song – Kotomi★Illustrations★Brush Lettering – Kotomi★Illustrations★Brush Lettering
Let me introduce some cute illustrations of little birds holding balloon strings or clover stems in their beaks.
The idea is charming not only because the birds are depicted with round bodies, but also because the dots in “omedetō” (congratulations) are represented by hearts or four-leaf clovers.
There’s also a bouquet idea where a little bird peeks out from within the bouquet.
It seems like an idea that could be drawn in many variations, so try creating your own original illustrations and share them with the kids.
3D tulip message card
Three-dimensional and extra cute! This message card highlights both elegance and charm.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to use a tulip motif.
Flat message cards are lovely too, but receiving a more elaborate, dimensional card can leave a lasting impression on a child—both as an object and as a memory.
What you’ll need: B5 colored paper, scissors, glue, crayons or other pens, and a ribbon in your favorite color.
Give it a try!
