AGTV – Live Stream Lowdown: January 12th, 2023

Hello friends,

It is such a delight to be able to have you join us on our website for our AGTV shows. We have a multitude of fun shows planned for you this year, and we hope to provide you with hours of entertainment doing what we love best– crafting! If you haven’t watched yet, below is a recap of Birthday Wishes along with necessary links. During our last show, we had an entire program centered around birthdays and making the cards for all of the friends and family who you need to wish a happy birthday. January is a great time of year to get your birthday cards created, and have them ready to send!

On last Wednesday’s show we launched our exclusive product, the Birthday Festival Dies.  This gorgeous 3D die set includes 6 concentric dies that add a special touch to birthday cards and so much more! Because it’s a 3D die set, it cuts, engraves and embosses your favorite papers and gives you detail like no other.

We also had fun with our birthday bundle, which paired the Birthday Perfect Patterns Cards and the Birthday Collage Card Toppers. The Birthday Perfect Pattern Cards contains 50 cards and envelopes in the prettiest patterns for you to create celebratory cards. The Birthday Collage Card Toppers includes 50 gorgeous, one-dimensional embellishments that look like they multiple items all together, but each is a single layer. The card toppers have beautiful collaged images, gold foil accents and some even have hand added ribbon. In this bundle you will find many wonderful ways to wish someone a very happy birthday!

We chatted with our crafty friends, Sloan and Sydney in Colorado. It’s so fun to learn about the creative lives of our Griffinites!

Our second birthday bundle was the Birthday Cardstock and Dies! It paired the whimsical patterns in our Birthday Papers with the fabulous Birthday Dies! The Birthday Dies is made up of 24 cut and emboss dies including cupcakes, tents, birthday flags and even a unicorn. Additional dies help you create a beautifully decoupages look on your cards and scrapbook pages. The Birthday Papers give you 36, 12 x 12 sheets of cardstock and 36, 5 x 7 sheets to make birthday projects galore. There are confetti patterns, birthday candles and even unicorn paper in this set of adorable cardstock.

From there we segued to Anna’s Archive where we brought back the Calligraphic Sentiment Dies! Happy Birthday, Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Father’s Day are the sentiments included. You can cut out the entire sentiment, or take a bit out of the paper by omitting the shadow layer.

We also offered our Pre-Made Birthday Card Assortment, complete with 10 gorgeous birthday cards! Each card is dimensional and includes a printed, lined envelope and lovely interior sentiment.

We also brought back one of our favorite birthday items for Anna’s Archive! You can be prepared to add something special to all of your birthday packages with the Birthday Gift Tags Kit. Inside are 24 gift tags, 24 birthday embellishments, 24 sentiments and 24 ivory ribbons.

The Mini Birthday Stickers and Sentiments is a party in a box! This little set includes 120 gorgeous pastel, 3D stickers. From cakes and party hats to presents and more, everything you need to celebrate with is inside!

One of our favorite parts about birthdays is the cake of course! On last Wednesday’s show, we made cakes with zero calories using the Cake Pop Up Card Kit. Each one was more beautiful than the next; these cards are so much fun to make and send.

The Cake Easel Dies made an appearance in Anna’s Archive, and we showed you how to make a gorgeous lavender cake card that was truly scrumptious!

Our sneak peek item was the Celebrations Floral Stickers. This item hasn’t aired yet, but AGTV is the place to be when it comes to being the first to see upcoming products. There are 80 sticker designs that you know and love from the Birthday Celebrations Card Making Kit, a la carte!

We also gave an inside look into our Crop at Home 3 event that is coming up May 5th- May 7th, 2023. We hope that you will join us for the scrapbooking event of the year where you can create gorgeous layouts and spreads right along with us in an interactive way, all from the comfort of your home! The tools, material, step by step instruction, class instructions and so much more are all included inside and on our incredible platform that transports you right to the classroom!

  • The Celebrations Floral Stickers are great. Love that they are all different flower and not roses which are available in other birthday boxes and floral sticker boxes.. would love to see more stickers like these. Especially in smaller sizes. These stickers will look great on spring and summer cards. So cheerful looking.

  • Love the whole idea of sympathy cards. This year has been hard and lost the 5th brother-in-law. I also lost a lot of friends as well.

  • #win it Wednesday The ‘In Remembrance’ card set is wonderful! Sadly, sympathy cards seem to be the most requested cards I am asked to make. Would love to win this.

  • Looking forward to the 17th! I keep looking and looking and then come back to look! It’s like a feast for my eyes!

  • Anna, the red roses you had in the Christmas box were perfect. Could you make a set of them and add yellow and white also? The size was just right and the three grouped together was just what I needed to go with my China Cabinet kit. I already have the China Cabinet set of flowers but not enough of the red and yellow.

  • I absolutely love the cake easel die, made a card last year with it for a wedding and the recipients loved it so much!! Anything that has to do with Birthdays I definitely look for when it comes to dies, and as long as I can use them for other projects, its a win-win for me.

    Anna, could you please make more dies geared towards men and boys? It’s so hard to find dies out there for them. I would love to see a sports car easel die.

    Can’t wait to see what Valentine’s projects you have coming up, I am working on my cards now.

  • Hello everyone e, love the mini birthday stickers. I love making tiny craft. Those would be so beautiful and dainty to crest mini cards!
    Thank you

  • Just love the 3d birthday concentric dies. Would really put some pizazz in my birthday cards!! Thanks to you, your creativity, and your wonderful crew.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!…and Thank you so much for having Win it Wednesday…looking forward to what is next….THANK YOU so much to you and your crew..Have a Happy Day!!!!

  • Thanks Anna and Staff for the recap! Love the Birthday Collage Card Toppers and Cards!

  • Love all these products! My favorite of this bunch are the Birthday Festival Dies. I like the versatility that concentric dies provide and they are always so detailed and pretty .

  • My favorite things are always the stickers, especially the roses and hydrangea stickers.

  • Thank you for a review of last week’s AGTV! Due to watching our grand-babies (2 & 4, M-F), it is not always easy to tune in on the day of. It is nice to have the opportunity to view the presentation at a time more conducive to my schedule. Of course, that’s you, Anna – always thinking of your crafters by providing a video. I look forward to every live stream. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings! ❤️ 😊

  • I love #winitWednesday it is always exciting ! I ordered the Birthday Celebrations from the launch on HSN along with the Christmas Box and it is exciting every time I open the boxes. I also have the dies from Create 8 I have made some cards from the event and a few others. They really go together quick and the Empress makes die cutting so simple, quick and joyful. I would love to win anything because if I have it, I can always gift it.

  • Awesome!! Love Wednesdays!! As a result of the AGTV live show, I purchased the Birthday cardstock with dies and can’t wait for them to arrive so I can start my Birthday cards 😍 Already looking forward to the next AGTV live 🤩

  • I couldn’t resist the Birthday Festival die and the Celebration Floral stickers! Every time I say I’m not buying anything and every time I cave!

  • Your blog is my ONLY blog. I look forward to it every day if I can on that day. Love the Fancy French Slim line dies and the Celebration Floral Stickers best!

  • Love the flowers for the cake and the Birthday stickers. Such fun embellishing cards with these items. ❤️❤️❤️

  • The calligraphic sentiment dies are to “die” for and the premade birthday assortment is great- especially for beginners!!! I would love to win ANYTHING from this group!!
    Thank you!
    Barbara
    P.s. can’t wait till the 17th!!have my list ready!

  • I enjoy creating fabulous keepsakes for friends and family and I believe they enjoy receiving them. Thank you for all the inspiration and tools that make it happen.

  • Looking forward to your AGTV show tomorrow and the HSN sow on the 17th. WOW so much to look forward to. So loved the Flower Cart die and set. In fact it is all beautiful. My birthday is on Friday, and even though it is Friday the 13th, I am feeling LUCKY!!!!! Maybe I will WIN something!!!

  • I am loving AGTV. I learn so much from the presentations. I cannot wait for the 17th to get here so I can make my purchases on HSN of all of the new items and especially to auto ship for the craft boxes.

  • Please make more Gold Champagne Bottles and more Gold Champagne Flute Glasses. I love to use them on all my cards for every kind of celebration. Thanks

  • This was a great reminder of all the great crafting we saw on AGTV. It is truly a highlight of the week when it happens, and is incredibly informative. Just speaks again to how generous Anna is. Looking forward to the next one, and HSN!

  • Making my list as I anxiously await the HSN showing. Love everything. Thank you for all you do for us so we can keep making gorgeous cards.

  • Fabulous as always. I’m eagerly awaiting the 17th so I can purchase that georgeous flower cart. You make me look like a professional! I can’t thank you enough for all the beautiful dies, papers and kits over the years.

  • Soooo many amazing and beautiful products. I’m going to have to find space in the budget for the Birthday Tags and the Mini Birthday Stickers and Sentiments.

  • All of these items make beautiful cards to give to our loved ones. I want them all. 🙂

  • I love them all and my New Years response to make at least one card each week. And then send them to my relatives near and far. (As I work in my family tree)

    Do you have a idea for family tree related items ?

    Thank you for considering me for a prize!

    • Kim, I thought the same thing this morning before I read your post. A pop-up family tree would be awesome! One where we could write family members or ancestors names on the tree before attaching to the inside of a card. Genealogy is another passionate pastime of millions of Americans, it certainly is of mine!

  • I just love your products, they are really the cat’s meow! Love that birthday bundle too! You can never have too much Anna Griffin stuff! Happy New Year!

  • Happy Birthday to us all. Celebrate with these wonderful materials and thank you and your staff for making this available to us.

  • OMG I would love to get the bundle. I love the dies as well. Love them all Anna. I just wish I could afford to buy it all.

  • I so enjoyed the first AGTV of 2023. The Birthday Festival dies are becoming one of my favorites. It isn’t just for Birthdays. And the flowers that came with it in Create 8 are gorgeous. Anyone who did not attend Create 8 will find these 2 items will make beautiful cards for any occasion.

    I am excited about Create Crop@Home 3. The first 2 were Anna-May-Zing. Getting a sneak peak inside is so thrilling. I just know it’s going to be FABULOUS!! You and your team put so much work and effort into theses events. I just hope you know how much they mean to me and how much I truly appreciate them.

    Happy Crafting!

  • What could be better… birthday calligraphic dies… Anna you are so creative. Thank you for sharing these wtih us.

  • I am waiting to play with the birthday die set and papers!! Love it so much, I am a house mom to eleven teen girls & I bet they’re going to love this cute birthday cake easel card. Anna this is simply superbly!!

  • I am a fan of the Cake Easel Die, and the Layer Cake Cardstock takes it to a new level. My cardstock will be delivered soon, and I can’t wait to play with it! It will be “Beautiful in the Making” for sure!

  • Ditto Jacquelyn, Anna gets all my extra, sneaky and hidden mulah! With the lotto, I could be out in the open LOL. Love her products so much, it’s incredible! Great seeing all the past creativity.

  • I like the recap and especially the shopping list with the item numbers identified…so helpful!

  • Thank you Anna. Looking forward to the new goodies. I love being able to go and watching these AGTV videos at my leisure. The shopping list is a bonus. Thank you

  • AGTV is great fun! This recap reminded me to work on this years birthday cards, as soon as I get all the things I ordered. So many ideas for all ages. I really appreciate all the time and effort you all put into these shows. I always learn something new. And I’m really looking forward to the Valentines show on the 25th. Much love 💕

  • I am committed to sending birthday cards this year. I had stopped a few years ago but now with all these beautiful inspirational supplies, I am once again going to get those good wishes out again! Thank you Anna.

  • With all confidence, without a doubt, we tune in to your wonderful live-episodes on AGTV (AND, ‘recaps’, and replays) to whirl through the many, MANY creative possibilities using your WONDERFUL products like my newest favorites (–those BIG, LUSH Celebrations FLORALS coming as a sticker Folio. I fell in l-o-v-e with them at CREATE 8, too!)! Thank you, as always, for your sweet generosity, AND for presenting exciting new AGTV Episodes on WEDNESDAY because it’s my day off! With you, wonderful products and instruction, even PRIZES, midweek is the WINNING-est, wildest, wonder-filled day of the week, Anna! ThANkY so MUCH! Luvya BUNCHES!

  • I’ve gotta win a piece of that $1.2 billion Mega Millions Lotto. And it will go to all of these beautiful birthday kits, dies, embellishments, and papers. Just genius!

  • Love AGTV!!
    What a great way to connect.
    And thank you again for making 2022 so fun with Win It Wednesday. It was a blast!

  • I am looking at more than 3 items I use often. My list seems longer each time I check what I have used. I make over 100 birthday cards alone for family. I can’t wait for 16th.

  • Great list and easy to navigate. Thanks for all of the new ways you are introducing and making your wonderful products available. Looking forward to this year and all the creations and videos and resources to keep on learning and making beautiful items, not just cards. Love it all, love you, Anna! Coni
