Make this fun Thanks a Latte card for your Teachers and anyone else you need to say thank you to. It’s a free printable so just grab the gift card of your choice and you’ll be set!
I think it’s safe to say that most teachers are fans of some type of coffee house and I also think it’s safe to say that most of us appreciate all that those teachers do… a latte!! (get it?)
This is the perfect gift if you ask me. Even if your teacher isn’t a coffee drinker, Starbucks and other coffee shops like Dutch Bros have plenty of other delicious treats to choose from! Heck I don’t drink coffee and I visit Starbucks way more than I’d like to admit. haha.
Thanks A Latte Printable
what you’ll need: (affiliate links included)
- 5×7 thanks a latte free printable found HERE (i had mine printed at Costco)
- a coffee sleeve (i used the backside of one from starbucks)
- white or kraft cardstock
- twine (i used the caribbean color)
- stapler and double sided tape (or other adhesive)
- gift card for starbucks (or other coffee house)
How To Make A Thanks A Latte Card
- download and print your card (or have it printed at a photo center
- attach the print to a 5.5″ x 7.5″ piece of cardstock
- trim the coffee sleeve to 4″ wide (cutting with the corrugated lines)
- place a piece of double sided tape to the very bottom of sleeve and attach to thanks a latte print
- staple sides of the sleeve and insert card
- tie some fun twine around your gift
**for extra fun, place the card inside of a paper pastry bag and hand out to all of those well-deserving teachers.
This card is perfect for your Teachers, but you could of course use it for anyone that deserves a big THANKS! Family, friends, neighbors, coaches, music and dance teachers… anyone.
More fun ways to say thanks!

Oh man, I could have used that two weeks ago, the PTO at our school bought $5 gift cards from Starbucks for all of the teachers…. and I wrote "for all you do" on all 95 of the envelopes! Man, you guys are sooo smart!

This is so cute! I love all of your printables! What program do you use to create them?
Meyers Family says
What are you printing them on? Card stock? You said you printed yours through Costco. Are you printing this on photo paper? I love Costco, but am thinking I might not know about a service they offer!
Jen says
hi meyers family! we do actually print them on photo paper through costco. of course if you have a nice printer you can print them right at home too. 🙂

Cindy says
Love it! Thanks for turning a simple gift card into such a fun gift! And not only that, but you've given us a new fun place to go for treats! When we stopped by Starbucks to get ours, we spied the pink cakepops and mini pink donuts…what girl doesn't love that! My kiddos picked going to starbucks over going out for ice cream this weekend! Lol!

This is so cute! I get a lot of Starbucks cards from my students for various reasons, but nothing packaged as cute as this.
Mrs. Q. says
I LOVED this idea and made them for my daughter's preschool teachers. The size printed out larger than yours, so I used the cardboard cuff as is, flattened and glued down, making a pocket for the gift card. Teachers loved them:

Katie says
What type of cardstock do you buy? I always have a hard time finding something light enough to run through my printer, but heavy enough to feel sturdy for the project I’m working on.
Jodie and Jen says
I just buy the regular cardstock packs from Michaels or Hobby Lobby. It’s not super thick, but usually works for tags and stuff. 🙂
Sarah Peterson says
Thanks for the great idea! Can’t wait to pass this idea along and use it for another year!
Jodie and Jen says
So glad you like it Sarah! 🙂
Chelsea Prawdzik says
How do I download the printable? Is there a specific link?

Hope that helps. 🙂
