Coffee & Gratitude for a Teacher

The end of the school year is the perfect time to celebrate the amazing teachers who inspire, encourage, and make a difference every single day. Instead of simply handing over a gift card, I decided to make it extra special by creating this fun gift card holder.

This project features a bold "Amazing Teacher" sentiment across the top with a pocket that perfectly holds a coffee gift card. It's a simple design, but adding a few sparkly heart embellishments gives it a little extra charm and lets the recipient know how much they're appreciated.

One of my favorite things about handmade gift card holders is that they turn an everyday gift into something much more personal.

This project was created using my Cricut, which made cutting the shaped base, layered lettering, and gift card pocket quick and precise. I chose soft pink cardstock paired with rich burgundy lettering for a warm, cheerful look, and the coffee gift card peeking through the window adds the perfect finishing touch.

This gift card holder is a thoughtful way to recognize someone who goes above and beyond. Handmade gifts don't have to be elaborate—they just need to come from the heart.

My Amazing Teacher gift card holder can be found at Cricut Design Space.

Baby Boy Gift Bag

This is one of the paper purses from a bundle of 6 different little paper purse ideas. Of course you can mix and match the patterns and accessories and make many different paper purses/gift bags. I made this BABY one by using the purse, bear, bow and baby bottle. It's wonderful for a little gift and/or a gift card for a new baby boy.

I created it with my Cricut and cardstock.
