thanks a "latte"


i think it's safe to say that most teachers are fans of some type of coffee house.
and i think it's safe to say that most of us appreciate all that those teachers do...
a latte!! (a lot... get it?)



what you'll need:
  • 5x7 thanks a latte print found here (i had mine printed at Costco)
  • a coffee sleeve (i used the backside of one from starbucks)
  • white or kraft cardstock
  • twine (i used the caribbean color)
  • stapler and double sided tape (or other adhesive)
  • gift card for starbucks (or other coffee house)
how to put it together:
  • attach the print to a 5.5" x 7.5" piece of cardstock
  • trim the coffee sleeve to 4" wide (cutting with the corrugated lines)
  • place a piece of double sided tape to the very bottom of sleeve and attach to print
  • staple sides of the sleeve and insert card
  • tie some fun twine around your gift
**for extra fun, place the card inside of a paper pastry bag and hand out to all of those well-deserving teachers.

This project was recently shared on Skip To My Lou.

Thank you so much for the great teacher gifts ideas. I am so grateful for my daughter's teachers, and think they do a wonderful job. I am excited to make them some gifts with your great ideas!

I presented two of these TODAY for Administrative Assistant's Day!!! So cute and very well received. I orginally saw on Skip to My Lou. These are a great gift of appreciation for any coffee lover! thank you :)

Thank you for all of your Darling ideas....I do not have a creative bone in my body, so thanks to you, it looks like I do!! My son's teacher is a huge coffee lover so this is PERFECT for her!

Oh man, I could have used that two weeks ago, the PTO at our school bought $5 gift cards from Starbucks for all of the teachers.... and I wrote "for all you do" on all 95 of the envelopes! Man, you guys are sooo smart!

Anne  – (April 27, 2011 6:19 PM)  

Thanks so much for that. It's gorgeous and a great idea. I've got that one locked away for teacher's Christmas gifts. Thanks!

So dang cute, thanks for sharing it.

Aubrey  – (April 28, 2011 8:14 AM)  

This is perfect! I help in my daughter's class every Tuesday and bring her sweet teacher a decaf americano- 2 splendas each week. It's the least I can do for her being so great to my kids everyday! Thanks for the wonderful idea!

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 4 post on Apr. 28, 2011. Thanks again.

This is so cute! I love all of your printables! What program do you use to create them?

Meyers Family  – (April 28, 2011 2:31 PM)  

What are you printing them on? Card stock? You said you printed yours through Costco. Are you printing this on photo paper? I love Costco, but am thinking I might not know about a service they offer!

Jen@eighteen25  – (April 28, 2011 2:41 PM)  

hi meyers family! we do actually print them on photo paper through costco. of course if you have a nice printer you can print them right at home too. :)

I tried to print it and it came out closer to 8x10. How can I scale it down?

amycornwell  – (May 4, 2011 7:01 AM)  

This is so fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing. What an adorable and easy gift idea. LOVE IT! (and I love that it can be used for any "thank you" gift, not just teachers)

Cindy  – (May 16, 2011 9:29 PM)  

Love it! Thanks for turning a simple gift card into such a fun gift! And not only that, but you've given us a new fun place to go for treats! When we stopped by Starbucks to get ours, we spied the pink cakepops and mini pink donuts...what girl doesn't love that! My kiddos picked going to starbucks over going out for ice cream this weekend! Lol!

Thanks for the great ideas.. http://davison-daily.blogspot.com/2011/05/teacher-gifts.html

This is so cute! I get a lot of Starbucks cards from my students for various reasons, but nothing packaged as cute as this.

Mrs. Q.  – (June 17, 2011 8:02 AM)  

I LOVED this idea and made them for my daughter's preschool teachers. The size printed out larger than yours, so I used the cardboard cuff as is, flattened and glued down, making a pocket for the gift card. Teachers loved them:

I just made a bunch of these for teacher/nurse/etc gifts. Thank you SO MUCH! When I picked up the prints today, the lady at the photo counter wanted to know what I was doing with them because just the print out was so cute. I sent her to your blog!

Nicole  – (February 9, 2012 10:49 AM)

Rebekah Covay –   – (February 13, 2012 4:40 AM)
