Of anyone, teachers deserve a special dose of gratitude this Thanksgiving. It’s amazing what all they do, and how far my own kids have come in school thanks to some wonderful teachers. I truly don’t know how they do it, especially with a classroom full of rambunctious little ones. They give extra, so they should definitely get extra, too.
For all they do, I wanted to make some extra special thank you cards that also tied in the seasonal colors and textures of fall. Thus, while at the store I picked up packages of Extra gum, because what else?
When you give extra, you get Extra, too!
The first thing I did was to make a printable of the simple messages of appreciation I wanted to use in the card. For the front, it says “With (blank space to tie a pack of gum) Thanks”. And the inside, “For all you do, this Thanksgiving, I want to say, an Extra special, Thank you!”.
You can download the cover and the inside of card. Once you have the printable, the rest goes together fairly simply.
With Extra Thanks Thank You Cards
Supplies needed:
- brown sheets of cardstock
- packs of Extra gum
- fall-colored ribbon
- hole punch
- download Extra Thanks cover and inside card
Print the Extra Thanks cover on one side of cardstock. Once printed and the ink has dried, flip your sheet of cardstock over and print the inside message.
Once the messages are printed, gently and carefully punch 2 holes in the center of the cardstock. Guide a long string of ribbon through. Tie ribbon around your gum to secure, snipping away any excess ends.
Give Extra thanks!
These cards aren’t just great for teachers. As you can see, they’re a perfect way to share #ExtraGumMoments while giving thanks this time of year to anyone who has made a lasting impact in your life.

How adorable are those? I’m my kids teacher, lol but I’d love to make these for people at church, the postman, etc. Super cute!
You have given me the neatest idea for a xmas gift for my kids teachers this year. This is simple and will not break my bank to do. I do not chew gum but the “Extra” idea is the coolest. Love it.
What a great idea! I love that its quick and easy and something most people love Extra Gum.
This is just perfect. It’s sweet but won’t take a ton of time. I know with the holidays coming up, I’ve got a lot of thanks to be expressing.
Now that is pretty clever! I love that it is attached to the card! I will have to do this!
This is such a cute and affordable idea, I know a bunch of people I would give these too. I love this idea!!!
Now that is a cute idea, I’m going to make my own.
This is so cute! It would be perfect for teachers.
Sometimes teacher gifts get too elaborate and expensive. I love the simplicity and thoughtfulness behind this. Extra gum is the best!
Oh that is such a cute idea! We may be giving this to our teacher for Thanksgiving.
This is such a fun and simple way to say thank you. Love it!
Now, is a clever way of giving extra thanks! I would have never thought of that. 🙂
It’s so simple but says so much. What a great idea!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! It’s so simple but yet pretty profound. I can see this getting a lot of use this Christmas! Thanks so much for sharing the idea!
As a former teacher myself, I can definitely confirm how awesome it is when my students would bring in thank-you gifts. It didn’t have to be much…it was the thought that counted! These Extra thank you cards look awesome…thank you for sharing! #client
