With Teacher Appreciation week coming up next week, I thought I’d share some of my favorite teacher cards and projects from the Paper Crafts May/June 2012 issue.
Typically we like to include a grad and teacher section in our May/June issue given the time of year. This year we departed slightly from the teacher rulers and grad hats, to focus on cards and projects with great inspirational quotes. What we got were some wonderful projects with quotes ranging from Nelson Mandela and Ghandi to Shel Silverstein and Conan O’Brien. There is a little something for everyone in this feature. Here are a few of my favorites:
Change the World Card by Sarah J. Moerman
This great card by Sarah J. Moerman can be given to not only a grad but a teacher as well. It’s perfect card to remind our beloved teachers of how important their profession really is.
Light a Fire Card by Carolyn King
Carolyn’s card uses a traditional apple with the Yeats quote to create a very fun and cute card that any teacher would love.
Artistic Child Frame by Cheiron Brandon
The trendy use of crayons as a part of the artwork is so cute. I can see a teacher hanging this in his or her classroom for all to enjoy.
If you haven’t already, pick up a copy of the May/June 2012 Paper Crafts to see more inspirational ideas for teacher gifts. You only have a week left to create something for the teachers in your life, so you better get started!
To get you started with your creating, leave me a comment with your favorite inspirational quote that can be used for a teacher and I’ll pick a winner to receive a school-inspired paper collection from Bo Bunny and a stamp set from Graphic45.
Leave a comment by Thursday, May 3rd at 5 pm MDT, and one of you will win this prize!
Happy creating!
Thank-you for such creative ideas. My 2 favorites are: ‘if you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I’ll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home’, lol (my husband and most of our friends are Teachers). The other is that ‘Teachers teach every other profession’. Thank-you for the chance to win!
Love the cards. I just bought some paper with pencils on it so can incorporate them into these ideas. Thanks! Linda
Great ideas!

All of those cards are so great!
Thanks for the inspiration, the globe card is awesome. Need to go find that design in the silhouette store.
Lovely cards! Great idea with the crayons.
From Dr. Seuss:
The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.
These ideas are fabulous! Here is a quote, from Dr. Seuss that I like:
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
Have a happy day!
What delightful cards. I especially love the crayon and quote!
A child miseducated is a child lost. John F. Kennedy
Oh these cards are beautiful! I can’t wait to get started. My 2 grandkids have Teacher Appreciation Week next week and the end of school always ends with a gift (it’s always been a tradition in my house) so I really need to get busy! Thanks so much for the blog, the opportunity to win and most importantly, all of the inspiration your magazine always provides.
