Craftspiration- December 11th, 2025

Hi crafters,

You are sleighing the season with festive flair! This week’s crafting showcase is a dazzling sleigh ride through gingerbread villages, sparkling slimline cards, shimmering sleighs, and more. YourR boundless talent and heartfelt creations continue to light up our crafting community like twinkle lights on a snowy evening. Every handmade piece is a gift from your hands straight to our hearts, and it fills our season with wonder, warmth and admiration.

We’re bursting with beautiful projects that show how creativity can express love, spread cheer, and turn paper into pure holiday magic!

Come be inspired!

Susan shared, "I made this card for a special lady who befriended me while we were in Texas… In my defense, you always say, “MORE IS MORE!” So I made this card and a handmade bracelet for her and I can’t wait for her to get this! That’s always the funnest part of giving hand-crafted cards to me… anticipating and seeing the recipient’s happy reaction! Here is the card and bracelet I made for my friend."

Helen said, “Still working on Christmas. Decided to turn the Carte Noel Dies into a 3D home décor project. Cut thin wood and mounted the houses on those to make them durable.” 

Helen also shared, “Mass producing Christmas cards.” 

Peggy said, “A special card for a special friend.” 

Diane said, “My Sunday share is a Christmas card I made by going through my dies and finding one I hadn’t used yet, the 3D Angelic Slimline Dies. I noticed that the surrounding arched die can be used separately for any slimline card.” 

Shellie said, “With Anna’s 3D Village Easel Die Set (while awaiting delivery of newest ‘Candy Wrapper’ Die Set)—and, using some ‘boxing skills’ learned in Finishing School and Made Easy Tutorials— I could make a hostess gift that I’m SO pleased to make and give. Of course, she will appreciate it even more because I filled it with her favorite Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Squares and other flavors!” 

Joy said, “Having fun with Anna’s paper & stickers!!!” 

Belinda said, “Slimline Belles and Bows. Thin for the win……at the post office!” 

Terry said, “I worked on sleighs this week, my first chance to work with these dies. Better late than never!” 

Laura said, “Happy Sunday Share to all. I am enjoying creating pretty Birthday Create Event Tags. My tags are not for gift boxes, they will be the Birthday card!” 

Dayle shared, "The Luxury Tonal Foil Holiday Cardstock is just so beautiful!  Loved using it to make a two tiered 3D village.  The richness of the papers paired beautifully with the Mary and Joseph Dies.  And so pretty with the bow dies for gift tags."

Clare made the most wonderful ornament with our Paper Advent Calendar. The red bow finishes it in a beautiful way!

Pam wrote, "This project was designed and used a selection of Anna Griffin papers and embellishments. It can be made for any occasion and for any season. This particular design is for a Christmas present to share lottery tickets and money as a gift. The design accommodates gift cards to give to a recipient. After the money, gift cards, and lottery tickets are gone the recipient can put photos in the gatefold album. Instructions and additional photos can be located for free download."

Kim posted, "Love the Christmas Card Kit this year.  I’ve purchased one every year since they began."Each one of these projects is so inspiring, especially during the most joyful season of all!
