Yvonne said, "Creating my Christmas cards with Christmas Grace Dies and Tonal foils with Jasmine Lux and past Create cardstock makes a stunning debut in golds, ivory and blues. Tiny poinsettias in Jasmine blue with pink leaves are layered with the center Christmas Grace die in shiny gold. Ivory satin ribbon threaded at the top and bottom of the scalloped edges gives that vintage flair I love."

Kathleen said, "Pink and blue for Christmas? Maybe not traditional... but I couldn't resist! When I spotted this darling Victorian angel trio in the new Anna Griffin Holiday Nostalgia Embellishment Pack, I challenged myself to pair it with pink, gold, and rich blue AG foils. The dark blue from the Jack Foil Collection really makes those foiled poinsettias pop! I framed everything with the new Poinsettia Scroll Frame die set and added delicate feather accents in the background to highlight the angels' wings. I'm loving this elegant, vintage-inspired Christmas palette! What do you think... would you decorate with this Christmas?"

Heidi said, "A Cricut file. A cake gift box. Used Jasmine papers and the rose embossing folder to make bottom layer of cake. Also had used the ombré paper from long ago. Literally had two sheets left. It's about 5 1/4 tall and makes 5 1/2 wide. I think I will make a paper plate and emboss to put under. Had to add beads."
How clever and creative!

Laura said, "Good afternoon to my Anna Griffin Community Friends! I am enjoying creating my new Christmas cards with Anna's new dies and embellishments!"

Terry said, "Sunday greetings, friends! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Poinsettia Scroll Frame Dies. I love this set's elegant scrollwork and festive poinsettias."

Clare said, "My newest die from Anna for my sister's birthday card."

Joyce said, "Here's her other card!"

Maria said, "Such beautiful cards to see every Sunday! Thanks for sharing. I am finally working with the new Church die and nostalgia stickers!"

Jane said, "I'm sharing Christmas Card No.17 and while I'm still behind, I'm still determined! My card has a mix of old and new Anna Griffin Inc. including (new) Scroll Corner Concentric Frames 3D die set and my ALL TIME FAVE the (old) Mini Christmas Botanical Dies. The Mini poinsettia dies are my go-to every year! I create these in batches and in all colors because the Christmas Poinsettia never goes out of style. Did you know the original name for the poinsettia flower is cuetlaxochitl (pronounced kwet-la-sho-she) and is indigenous to our side of the world."

What a wonderful bit of crafting history!

Sandie said, "I lead a Card Ministry at my church and we are starting a new session next month. Anna we use a lot of your products. I am making each of them one of the mirror cards, each will be different to let them know how amazing they are!"
How thoughtful!

Susan A. said, "This is the first card I've been able to make in several years, due to caring for my husband who has cancer. But our longtime neighbor of over 25 years passed away so I just had to make his family a very special card! I was an honor to make this card for the family of a former Mayor of Macon, GA, George Israel."
Thank you for sharing such a meaningful project with us.

Shellie said, "Happy Sunday Share, friends! Two of Anna's newest 3D die sets are my 2 new favorites, and I was inspired by 2 of my favorites on the illustrated Instructions included. I know recipients will know 'heart's content' in their homes at Christmastime when these deliver."

Kirk said, "Wedding card created with Favorite Flowers 3, Vellum card inserts, matte gold foil."

Absolutely timeless elegance!

Sherry said, "This Christmas Card was made using the Poinsettia Scroll Frame, Reason for the Season die cuts and small Christmas sentiments hot foil plates. What did not show are the red jewels added to the holly leaves..."

Susan G. said, "I made this as a romantic night in Paris. You can always dream right! Regards, Susan Grondin."

Susan said, "Good morning and Happy Birthday Anna! This card is sent to bring you love that will blossom throughout the year. God Bless you on your sixtieth birthday.
