I just got my Tiny Prints cards in the mail and I was so happy with how they turned out I wanted to show you what they look like. I ordered 3 of the thank you cards from Tiny Prints with set designs on the front. You can customize them (so we got one for for school cook and it says “Thank you for everything Miss Diane” on the front.)
Inside I wrote a note to each teacher thanking them for all their hard work during the year. Then the girls sat outside with little signs that also said thank you which I added to the inside of the cards. You can also make cards from a sports team or an entire class etc.. and have fun with the photos.
And then the back you can put one last little picture- I always put Maya and Addy media and a picture of the girls- but I love this little extra touch.
Anyway, I wanted to mention this idea once again for those of you looking for end of the year gifts. My cards took about 2 weeks to arrive- usually they are much faster from Tiny Prints.
The price of cards right now is about $3.99 each and shipping to your home is free. The other option is to sign up for the greeting card club, which is what I did.
You get 3 cards for free (including shipping to you) and then you get 50% off any future greeting card purchases. So as long as you have the membership, you pay $1.99 per card that you make. You have to pay $1.42 per month and I believe they charge 12 months up front.
You can also try the other membership and get 25% off on each card (so $2.99 each) and then you pay $.50 per month. If you sign up for this program, you pay $6.00 and get the 3 free cards- so even if you don’t order any other cards for the year it is still a good deal.
If you don’t want to use Tiny Prints, you can make something similar from Shutterfly! They have 5 free greeting cards available right now. The shipping from Shutterfly is not free so I think it works out to about .99 total per card.
Their teachers and school cook will LOVE these cards.
Thx for telling us about Tiny Prints
Wow, Charlene! You are a super mom! How do you do it all? I work out of the house FT, but it seems like you are constantly posting… AND you still find time to do creative little things like this. My son is starting preschool in 2 weeks and I saw this and said AWWW! I probably need to do something nice for his daycare provider. Hmm??? I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the idea. You are amazing!
oh well don’t be impressed with me at all 😉 This took 10 minutes and goodness knows I have no time for crafting so I thought a very nice card might make up for that 😛 I think what people want most is a thank you anyway so hopefully they like these cards.
The pictures of your girls holding the signs that say thank you was too cute! If the weather gets better this week I’m making my son go outside and hold a thank you sign:-)
Staphanie my friend Ashley is the crafty one that had this idea and here is how she did it:

Her stuff is always 100x better than mine 😛
Both are very cute! Hey, I think I might be busting out that Amazon laminator I’ve had in my gift closet… I love the cards you made but it sounds like I may not have enough turnaround time. Thanks!
