Craftspiration- September 24th, 2026

Hi crafters,

What a joyful week of creativity! Each time you share your handmade projects, we are reminded just how incredible, talented and endlessly inspiring you are. Seeing the thoughtful details, clever combinations and heartfelt stories behind your creations fills our hearts with admiration and gratitude. There is something so special about the way creativity allows us to express love, tell stories and connect with one another through beautiful things made by hand. It is an absolute honor to shine a joyful spotlight on this wonderful community and the artistry you bring to it week after week.

This week’s shares are bursting with autumn color, gorgeous dimension, festive sparkle and imaginative paper crafting—nothing short of spectacular!

Come be inspired!

Maria said, "Five crafting friends, one wonderful lunch, and so many reasons to be grateful! What began with our shared love of Anna Griffin crafting has blossomed into something even more beautiful, friendship, laughter, encouragement, creativity, and memories that extend far beyond our craft rooms. Today, five Anna Griffin crafting friends gathered for lunch at Marmalade’s in Westlake Village, CA and it was such a joyful time together! There’s something extra special about sitting around a table with women who understand the excitement of a beautiful paper, the thrill of a perfectly placed embellishment, and why “just one more craft” can turn into hours! I’m especially grateful for the Anna community that brought us together and for the Beautiful in the Making California Facebook community created by Marie. What a gift this group has been! Marie Fix brought creative hearts together and turning online friendships into real life treasured friendships. From crafting across our tables on Zoom to sharing stories around a lunch table, I’m thankful for every connection, every laugh, every hug, and every beautiful memory we’re making along the way. Here’s to friendship, creativity, and the beautiful things that happen when wonderful women come together!"

Sherry said, "First time working with the Harvest Molding 3D Die set and the Sienna Cardstock and embellishments. My lighting doesn’t do justice to the beautiful engraving of these gorgeous dies. And the leaf embellishment dies are so pretty."

Fifi said, "Made this Christmas card using the new Harvest Molding Die. This die is so beautiful that it can be used all year long."

Donna said, "I have been working with the new Peacock Dies and I love this set. I find that I use the frame quite often and It enhances most projects. You definitely need this in your collection! I paired it with the stickers I had leftover from Create. If anyone know where I can get more of these stickers, please let me know the name of the collection. Anna please can you make us a set of these stickers?"

Terry said, "I have always wanted to make a step card, but it was challenging until I finally got it figured out. I created this for my sister using Anna’s cardstock and a mix and match of embellishments."

Wanda said, "This year, most of my Halloween cards are using the holiday house dies, but with a Halloween theme. I just love this house. There is so much you can do with it.🎃"

How fun!

Jenny said, "This is a Dahlia peacock with some gilded pieces and jewels."

Shirley said, "I used what I learned from Create Crop at Home and made an interactive page with pics from my running days a decade ago. I used Canton Bleu paper collection with Create Everyday Border Stickers to make this pull out pocket page. It was fun to make."

Marie said, "Foiling gold on black glitter paper really brought these witch boots to life!!"

Laura said, "Happy Sunday Share to all. I have been going through my Anna Griffin materials and using the older materials with the new! Anna's materials are always good to make beautiful card designs!"

Cindy said, "My Sunday share using Sienna cardstock and embellishments, orange foil, and Harvest Molding 3D die set. Such fun creating on a rainy day while watching football."

Shellie said, "Happy Sunday Share, Anna Griffin Inc and creative friends! Now nearly autumn, it is still very hot days in Texas; and so, I don't need to be persuaded to keep my cool at my craft-spot, exploring Anna's newest wonderful die sets and cardstock, in combination with a variety of longtime favorites! I truly love all the ways Anna teaches us great papercrafting, just like she shows us on her blog, her weekly tutorials, and the Illustrated Instruction Sheet that accompanies her dies. I find beautiful details in every 'knook & cranny' and love to see for myself all the creativity she and her Design Team share. I'm convinced these are cards I can make-and-send with personal gratification, too!"

Joy said, "I'm creating more Autumnal cards with the Sienna & Dahlia papers & the beautiful Fall Embellishment flowers & leaves...they will make lovely Thanksgiving cards! (I added the gingham ribbon)."

Janet said, "For my daughter’s 20th birthday."

Diane said, "For my Sunday Share this is my first attempt with the new Dahlia, Mum, Sunflower Floral 3D Dies. I fell in love with the basket pictured on the sample sheet, however, mine turned out a different look. I ended up sanding all of the flowers."

Susan said, "Good morning all I loved making this card and just absolutely love the foil cardstock. Thanks for the beautiful paper."

Pam said, "I started my Christmas cards with something old and something new! I used the house die with paper and embellishments I recently purchased. Loving the paper 3D embossed effect on the card."

Michelle said, "Hi, I made a card using the Dahlia, Mum, and Sunflower 3D Floral Die. Also the ombre paper. Now I just have to decide who to send it to.😊"

Today’s Daily Drop gives you two beautiful ways to add an elegant finishing touch to your next project. The Regal 12" Trimmings Border Dies are made for creating graceful, decorative edges that instantly dress up cards, scrapbook pages and paper projects. Think of all the gorgeous borders, layered trims and sophisticated details you can create!

Pair those intricate designs with the Rose Gold Matte Foil Cardstock for a warm, luminous finish. The soft rose-gold color brings just the right amount of shine while remaining wonderfully refined. We can already imagine it alongside autumn florals, elegant birthday cards, wedding projects and holiday creations. Whether you use these two Daily Drop treasures together or mix them with favorites already in your craft room, they are sure to inspire something spectacular!
