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!

Message card made with artificial flowers

Make it in 15 minutes: How to make a message card using 100-yen shop artificial flowers | 100-yen DIY | Daiso | Easy handmade card | How to make a message card with artificial flowers

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.
