Rosann said, “I made this from the Botanical paper from CAH 5 and added the embellishments from the Wedding Card Layers Kit.” 

Vickie said, “Feeling a little ‘snarky’, hahaha! Victorian snarky ladies marry the Greenhouse Card Toppers!”

Donna said, “My brother was visiting from Florida this week. He asked me to teach him how to make a card. He wanted to make a Hanukkah card for a friend. With a little bit of direction, this is his finished product.”

Evelyne said, “Making bookmarks for my community book club… Love that we can turn any die into a favor.”

Fifi said, “Love this frame in gold with red. It definitely makes a beautiful statement.”

Shellie said, “I finished embellishing the remaining Christmas Scenes Kirigami cards, and having such FUN!… These are the perfect Christmas ‘magical reveal’ interactive cards!”

Marie said, “Birthday card sailing away with special wishes!! The schooner was perfect for this card used as just a topper!”

Kim said, “The Victorian Christmas die set is still one of my favorite dies to build layers with.”

Vicki said, “I have made about 20 of these Christmas Sliders this weekend… It’s so easy to create ‘Beautiful in the Making’ with Anna’s gorgeous products.”

Mary Beth said, “Finally, have gotten to the aubergine flora!! Love it!!”

Donna said, “This is my first Hanukkah card using the new card toppers.”

Diane said, “For my Sunday Share I have chosen one of my Mary & Joseph Christmas cards. Their embossing is so beautifully detailed. Every card made can have its very own background layered with Anna’s exquisite choices of foiled papers and/or Matte Foiled Cardstock. I will love sending these special cards this year.

Diane said, “I love the ease and simplicity of the Simply Kits, and how well all of Anna’s dies and embellishments go with them.”

Dayle said, “My Sunday share was inspired by my grandkids saying they were counting down to Halloween already. I thought a shaker hour glass would be fun for them.”

Fifi said, “Made this card using the new Luxury Iridescent Foil Cardstock. It is a gorgeous paper.”

JoAnn posted her lovely purple easel card. We love how she turned the Woodland Concentric Dies to make this card.

Such great inspiration here. Gorgeous work everyone. I particularly loved the cards from FiFi, Mary Beth, Donna, and as always, JoAnn. Now I’m thinking about combining the new Mary and Joseph dies with the Woodland Concentric set for my Christmas cards this year. Thanks for sharing!

Love all the cards and the creativity that goes into them but I have to say ,DAYLES Halloween card using the hour glass was most inspirational . The witch infront of the bewitching hour countdown was so fun
