I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May.

To express their everyday gratitude, many people prepare in various ways each year—sending flowers or gifts, cooking a meal, and more.

Even without a gift, you can still share your feelings!

If that sounds like you, how about giving a message card?

In this article, we’ll share plenty of ideas for handmade message cards.

Of course, it’s also fine to include one alongside a present or bouquet!

If you find it embarrassing to say things out loud, a message card might be the perfect way to express how you feel!

Infinity Card

For occasions when you want to send a special message for Mother’s Day, an infinity card is a great choice.

Apply glue to the four corners, assemble the parts, and it’s complete.

Each time you flip the card, a new panel appears, so decorating it with Mother’s Day–themed messages and illustrations will make it even more festive.

This endlessly flippable card is a perfect idea for a Mother’s Day surprise.

Crumple tissue paper into soft balls and attach them on top of the doily to create a fluffy, three-dimensional effect, resulting in a skirt-like finish.

Add a drawing of your mom and a message of gratitude to complete a card that feels extra special.

It’s a Mother’s Day message card full of cuteness and handmade warmth.

Carnation card

[Handmade Card] Mother’s Day Gift ♡ How to Make a Carnation Card

Carnation card

Try making a three-dimensional card with a carnation motif! Shape the base construction paper while cutting a circular slit like a small window.

The carnation flowers are made by combining small pieces of origami.

If you have scissors that cut with a zigzag edge, they’re recommended because they make the carnation petals look more realistic.

Attach the flowers so they pop out from the circular window, decorate with a ribbon, and you’re done! Inside the card, write a message or paste photos of your memories.

A foldable surprise card that reveals a fun element the moment it’s opened is a perfect idea for a Mother’s Day gift.

Fold a sheet of construction paper in half horizontally and crease it well.

Fold all four corners inward toward the crease, then fold the top, bottom, left, and right to make it compact.

Because the design spreads out when the card is opened, adding colorful illustrations and heartfelt messages makes it even more appealing.

Folding the paper in from the top and bottom enhances the surprise when opened, creating a special card your mom will love.

It’s a unique message card filled with playfulness and gratitude.

Magic card

A magic card that changes its illustration when pulled from a pocket.

First, fold a sheet of white construction paper and secure it with tape.

The key here is to create two pockets.

Next, cut the card that will go into the pocket and a piece from a clear file folder, then attach them together.

Then draw your desired illustration on the card, and use a black pen to draw lines on the clear file as well.

Insert the card in the back and the clear file in the front, and you’re ready to go.

Try making this unique card to add a special touch to your Mother’s Day surprise.
