Craftspiration- April 16th, 2026

Hi crafters,

What a joy it is to gather with YOU and celebrate the heartfelt, imaginative ways you’re bringing paper to life! Each project this week radiates thoughtfulness, beauty and that signature touch of creativity that makes our community so special. We are endlessly inspired by how you use your talents to honor loved ones, mark meaningful moments and simply spread joy. It truly fills us with gratitude. From layered florals to touching tributes, this week’s gallery is brimming with artistry and love in every detail!

Come be inspired!

Gay Lynn said, “I used the 3D Braided Concentric Die set to make my husband, a very avid gardener and bird lover, a birthday card.”

Dayle said, “Made a scrapbook page using the In the Garden Ultimate Paper Collection. I used the Floral 3D Border Dies and the paper border in the kit to make a compound border. This paper collection had everything I needed to make a page of our annual American Girl outing for my granddaughter's birthday. I did add some vellum stars from the Stars Aligned Die set too.”

Jan said, “I've been creating with the Delightful collection. Here are a few of the cards.” How lovely!

Wanda said, “I made this with the blue hydrangea rub ons for a friend who loves blue.”

Shirley said, “Great minds think alike! I just made a layout with the beautiful Floral 3D Border Dies and the Antique Botanical Paper Collection! I love the soft and pretty colors!”

Melinda said, “I made a thank you card using Anna's Garden Fountain Finishing School box.”

Terry said, “Happy Sunday Share everyone! A recent recipient of one my cards asked for a card for her mother's 94th birthday. I was both flattered and honored to do this ‘All Anna’ card. Inside in a second post.” So special!

Shellie said, “Sunday Share greetings, Griffinites! My friend said 'farewell' to her sister a few days ago. Having die cut the ivory Decorative Borders for a different card entirely when the news came, I decided to use them for a sympathy card, instead. It was not easy to shift thinking, because of sadness, and so I 'doodled' with the 'negative' tailings-n-bits still sitting on the mat. That's when I saw the little 'sunrise-sunset' hill-and, ocean waves, and even a little rain cloud. Creating with Anna's designs is inspiring and thoughtful, from start to finish, some details maybe missed at first. Yet then, even expressing condolences, it was easier to adhere layers in a unique way, a lot like the very special person in mind, in important ways. It is always better starting with all-things-Anna.”

Belinda said, “Three cards (two birthday and one graduation) with the Wildflower Garden. Different card stock and flowers.”

Kathleen said, “My Sunday Share is 35 BEAUTIFUL birthday & gift tags made from one of the Anna Griffin Daily Drop Birthday Tag die cut specials!! I absolutely LOVE how all the AG papers, ephemera, foils, and sentiments come together so effortlessly— everything coordinates like a dream. I added some extra touches with AG cross die cuts, ribbon details plus flowers, butterflies, and hearts for that perfect finishing touch! So much fun creating these… and now I’m stocked up for gifting!” What a treasure trove!

Heidi said, “For my dear friend's birthday next week. I had used the Photo Finish Easel Dies. (MY favorite as of lately) need more like this. Also had used vintage hydrangea embossing folder.”

Michele said, “This is a card I made for my daughter-in-law for Mother's Day. I hope you like it.”

Every project shared with us is a beautiful reflection of the care and creativity that make this community so special. Whether you’ve been posting your work for years or are just getting started, you are an important part of what makes this space so meaningful. Thank you for inspiring one another, for your thoughtfulness and for the joy you bring to every card, scrapbook page and paper project you create. It’s a gift to witness!

We would love to see what you’re making next—share your projects with us on social media or send them to RSVP@annagriffin.com so we can celebrate you. Your creativity is what brings this community to life, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

Today's Daily Drop is one that you're going to love! It's our Vignette Dies and Vignette Papers and Embellishments.

Bye for now,

Anna

I love looking at the inspiration of other crafters – cards and scrapbook pages. I must truly comment on your new point system. First of all the points should not expire after 30 days. The total should last at least a year. Not everyone can afford buy so much to accummulate 1000 points for only $5 credit. It’s not worth it. Secondly, I won’t be paying much attention to your point system. Sorry. But I will continue reading my daily emails from you.
