My youngest daughter has an amazing and incredible fourth-grade teacher, and we collected enough funds from the entire class for two gift cards - one was credit-card sized and the other was slightly larger.
I created a holiday card for this teacher that featured various-sized pages to house each gift card.
First page was the smallest pocket, to house the credit-card sized gift card...
...and the second page housed the larger gift card to a restaurant. All chipboard, stickers and patterned papers are from Holiday Style.
The last page featured my attempt at a whimsical font, my inspiration gleaned from the many incredible calligraphers on etsy.
Pillow boxes housed Visa gift cards for the two aides. Miniature wooden spools and burlap string. Amazing staff at an amazing school. Best wishes for all the best in the New Year!

















These are STUNNING! I LOVE them all! What wonderful gifts.

What a great idea. Love how you used the papers. I have a hard time figuring out what to do with papers such as the skating one. You incorporate them effortlessly.
