Farewell Cards for Leaving Teachers from Canva

I really love Canva.  For someone who is creatively sterile as myself, it is a gift from the digital heavens. ​

My Canva account and collection.

For some of our leaving teachers, I offered to create their farewell cards.  Although I lack any design sense, I love to get crafty when I can.  Canva lets me do that.  

First I created an A4 size cover to their farewell card with Canva (below right), then I was also able to create a customise cover to the the envelope for the said farewell card.  I used double-sided tape and glue to fix the cover of the farewell card to some A3 construction paper I folded in half. I did the same for the envelope, hiding the school address, but leaving the school logo on the top left corner.

We also created Padlets for each teacher, where each of us could post some kind words wishing them well in their new adventures, and adding a photo.   As you can see below, Padlets print out quite nicely, in a bookish format.  ​

This is what a Padlet looks like when printed. It's very display-friendly.

I really like the way that Canva and Padlet let us add our personal touch to say farewell to two generous and talented teachers who are leaving us.
