Greeting card with blue flowers and yellow butterflies on a green background. Text reads "hello friend." Bright and cheerful design.

Hello Lovelies! We have so many reason to be grateful to our teachers for, so today's project is a trio of Gift Card Holders using the Thank You Teacher set from Simon Says Stamp's Moments In Time release.

I love that the coloring for these adorable critter images is super easy and that we will make some small personalizations to enhance the gift card holders and make them even more special. Added bonus - using a large background stamp like the Thank You Teacher Text allows you to quickl create your own patterned paper.

Cute illustrated cards with animals and text: "For Inspiring Me," "To My Teacher," and "For Teaching Me." Red and yellow envelopes nearby. — Happy BEE Day Honeycomb Gift Tags
