I had a lot of fun with the Tropical theme for Teacher Appreciation this year. For the invitation I designed a Flip-Flop. I used a real pair of flip-flops to make a template and then cut 78 of them by hand times 2: the bottom layer and the top layer of the striped paper (CTMH Sophia Paper is retired). Finally the flower was cut from my Cricut machine with the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. The brad in the center of the flower lets the top layer swing away from the bottom layer to reveal the party details.

The most popular postings on my blog are my Teacher Appreciation postings. Every day, somebody is somewhere searching for Teacher Appreciation ideas and my blog comes up in the search. This is so great for the teachers of the world who deserve all the praise & appreciation they can get for all the sacrifices they make to educate our children. As a member of our school board I also see how much it costs to educate our children and how much is involved in the running of our school. My hat is off to the teachers, staff and administrators of the world! Any kudos they can get they deserve every bit of it.
Now the entrepreneur in me sees an opportunity to make custom invites for teacher appreciation week. Hmmmm….
For the 4th year now I’ve contributed to our Teacher Appreciation luncheon by making invitations. This year our theme was a dainty Tea Party: complete with tea cups, doily’s, fresh flowers, quiche, soup & fruit salad. Card design inspired by fellow CTMH consultant, Lisa Stenz.
All supplies available from Close To My Heart.
Recipe: Tea Time stamp set, Blush Cardstock & stamp pad, Chocolate stamp pad, That’s Amore paper (retired), Baby Pink ribbon (retired) & 3-D foam tape.

Teacher Appreciation Door Decoration

As part of our Teacher Appreciation event we decorated the doors for our teachers. As a room mom this year this was part of my responsibility. I used the die-cut machine in the teachers work room for the borders, letters, stars & the door hanger. The rocket was from a template off the internet. And then paper-pieced it together. In hindsight, I wish I would have made more of the larger stars and wrote the names of the students on each star. I really liked the way the door hanger turned out for the Teacher Assistant for 6th grade. I have a close up of that below.
Supplies available from Close To My Heart:
Citrus Leaf cardstock, Stardust Paper Pack, Starduct Stickease, Color Ready Alphabet in bold.
Teacher Appreciation Invite

For the 3rd year in a row I participated in our Teacher Appreciation event at our kids school. I volunteered to make the invitations for the “blast-off” breakfast and the luncheon. Sadly, I didn’t save a copy of the luncheon invite. And after making 71 of them I’m not sure I feel like making another one to show you. Maybe I can find someone who has a copy and I’ll take a picture of their copy. I actually liked the luncheon invite better than the breakfast invite too!
As you can tell our theme this year was a space theme. We wanted to express our thanks by letting our teachers know they are “Out of this World.”
The week started with a “Blast-Off Breakfast.” Other events included snack carts with donated goodies, a gourmet coffee cart, a salad luncheon and dessert bar. We also had the kids express their appreciation on die-cut stars & planets. Those were used as decoration throughout the school. In addition to decorating each teachers door (I’ll share the one I did in another post) and decorating the main school entrance.
