Common Questions About This Teacher Appreciation Gift Card Holder Printable
Can I use this printable for more than one teacher?
Absolutely! The file includes four different designs. You can print as many copies as you need, so it’s easy to create multiple gifts at once.

Do I need special paper?
Cardstock works best. It’s thicker and gives the gift card holder a more polished feel. However, regular printer paper will also work in a pinch.
What size are the cute gift card holders?
Each design is sized to fit a standard gift card. You won’t need to resize or adjust anything—just print and go.

Is it okay to email this blog post to someone else?
Yes, you can email the link of this blog post, but not the actual download file! If you know another parent or teacher who would love this, feel free to share this blog post link with them. But please don’t sell or distribute the pdf file for profit or in any other way.
Can kids help make them?
Of course! This is a great project for younger children. Let them help cut, color, or write messages on the back. It makes the gift even more special.

Do I need a color printer?
A color printer is ideal since the designs are vibrant and school-themed. However, black-and-white still works, especially if you want to color them in by hand. No color printer? Feel free to print at your local print shop.
