Teacher Appreciation Cards are the perfect way to say thank you, teacher.
Teacher Appreciation Week is the first full week in May. We have so many teacher gift ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week, the end of the school year, birthday or another special day, that you are sure to find the perfect way to celebrate your teachers.
Teacher Appreciation Gift Cards
I’m not always good at planning ahead when it’s time to give gifts. I want to make a big, impressive, straight-from-the-heart homemade craft project, but usually, run out of time and end up grabbing a gift card the day before. It can’t just be me who has this problem, right?!
These free printable Teacher Appreciation Week cards are for all of us crafty wannabes – the gals who love Pinterest but just can’t seem to make it to Michael’s in time. And, for us gals who have a sassy sense of humor. Now, without further ado… here are my free printable teacher appreciation day cards! I think they will be an appreciated gift that makes your teacher smile.
Printable Thank You Teacher Cards
These printable cards are the perfect thank-you for a teacher! There are three designs so you can pick your favorite saying, or give them to different teachers. The red and orange one coordinates perfectly with a Target card, and the green and blue one goes great with a Starbucks gift card, but it’s really up to you.
And of course, making these cards is a cinch – just print the design of your choice onto white cardstock, cut the cards out, and adhere the back to the front (to add that extra-snazzy patterned back). Stick on your gift card, sign your name or leave a little handwritten note, and you’re good to go. If you need an envelope, these fit a standard A7 size envelope… or just go without an envelope, I won’t tell!

The text on these cards is so funny, with three narrowly averted craft project disasters – like “I almost gave you a life-size diorama of your classroom made out of crayons” – that will definitely make your teachers laugh. They’ve all been there, either getting overwhelmed with crafts themselves or getting… unique little gifts from their students over the years.
How about “I almost made you quadruple dark chocolate upside down bacon glazed cake pops” to poke fun at those of us who like to try experimental recipes found on Pinterest? They’ll be laughing with relief at the thought! And I’m pretty sure your teacher will appreciate an Amazon gift card even more after reading “I got out the Mod Podge, the Circuit machine, and thirty-two shades of glitter.”

I just printed up one of these along with an Amazon printable gift card! Teacher Appreciation Week saved!
Like my husband always says, “If you wait until the last minute… it will only take a minute” (thanks to you!).
Love these! Just shared them on facebook. Saved me time and it is so cleverly cute!
Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone else, but when I printed these out originally, the looked perfect, but the gift card space didn’t accomodate the gift card…it covered most of the words below the space. At least on my printer, I had to go in and change the page layout to “landscape”, NOT “portrait”. Once I did that, problem solved…the gift card fit perfectly. I printed 6 of these to hand out to all of our teachers… can’t wait, I know they will be a huge hit!! Thank you again for sharing! I’ve already emailed your link to my girlfriend who plans on using them too and I’ll be following your blog as well. 🙂
As a mom to a preschooler AND a teacher, I could not love these more. Thank you from the bottom of this disorganized, non-crafty mama’s heart! I will say, that it took me two tries to print because I had to change my printer to landscape (smarter people than me probably figured that out before hitting print). You rock!
great printables and super funny!
thank you for sharing them
These are really so creative! I honestly laughed out loud when I read them. I was trying to think to myself how I was going to make something creative and special for my son’s 5 student teachers and head teacher before next week’s End of Semester celebration and now I’ve got it!! No worries here from this mom…more time to be spent outside playing (that’s what’s really important anyway right?!)!
Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for creating and sharing these…they are perfection! I just lost a couple of hours on pinterest searching for clever Teacher Appreciation gifts. People are seriously talented and creative, but at the end of the day, I think most teachers would rather have a gift card to get what they really need and want over an adorable apple plaque for thier desk! No offense to those who are planning to give apple plaques! Our teacher’s favorite store is Target (isn’t everybody’s?)… I was searching for a creative way to give her a gift card there. She has a great sense of humor too, so these are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Love these!!! They are SO true.
Those are cute! As a teacher myself, I enjoy anything from my students, but gift cards are great and a Cuttlebug would be off the charts!!
I wwas rolling reading these cards. So funny. Thank you so very much. I can’t wait to use them over and over again. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! Renea , Des Moines IA
