Craftspiration- December 12th, 2024

Hello Griffinites,

As you will see, Christmas crafting is all systems go! We are always inspired by the wonderful projects that you share with us, and now we want to make stylish hat treat boxes, shaker tags and to add a gift card holder to our easel cards. So clever! Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, a treat and scroll away!

Victoria said, "I’m a bit late posting my Sunday Share. I made these Stylish Hats with secret compartments that can hold a token gift (I have an Apple Airtag and case ring in these ones)."

What a great idea and gift!

Shellie shared, "Happy Sunday Share, Anna, and creative friends! I loved Anna's Christmas Botanicals Vellum card very much (shown to us ahead of Christmas-in-July), and want to send my friend a Christmas greeting as nearly the same, made with Anna's Holiday Vellum cards, Red Matte Foil, Banner Day Sentiments, and Christmas Botanicals Embellishments."

Marie posted, "Having so much fun with the Advent Calendar!! Thanks to Clare Macdonald for suggesting it and Anna for making it."

Vicki wrote, "Taking my cue from the newest Finishing School class, I made these "Gifting Tags" for the bags of greeting cards that I gift to my sisters in law each Christmas! Happy Sunday Share friends! Two of these use one of the frames from Petite French Frames! I used one of my rectangle die sets to find a rectangle to use for the base."

Heidi said, "Made treat bags yesterday for our wonderful luncheon gathering with our “Beautiful in the Making Circle California ladies. What a treat this was to be out. Thank you Myrna and everyone for the wonderful conversations and company and beautiful cards and gifts."

Loretta wrote, "Love this Concentric Die which I couldn’t use before getting my new Empress machine. Merry Christmas to you! I used it in many colors… from silver, to pink and blue."

Clare said, "Day 8 Advent Calendar tags. I let myself go a little wild so these are made with the dies & paper from the day, plus the door panel, gold cord, and GOLD FOIL cardstock."

Josette' shared, "I made this card for our groomer from our 2 poodles, Austin & Beau. Inside is a gift card using the Holly Pocket holder & will come with some cookies & candy also."

Love how you used the Birthday Wishes Dies to make a photo frame!

Tonawanda posted, "I'm back and forth from the Simply Rocking Snowflake Kit, to the Snowglobe Easel Cards! I love them both!"

Lillian posted, "Working with the Nativity Dies and leftover embellishments from past card kits for my Christmas cards this year!"

Barbara said, "I made this card for my mother in law using the Angelic Slimline Dies. She collects angels and truly appreciated the beauty of these dies."

Kim shared her "Christmas Gift Card for our son".

Diane wrote, "The 3D Three Wisemen Dies are designed with elegant in mind! They can be pieced or left natural. They can be adorned with rhinestones or pearls. Everyone of mine have turned out differently. However one chooses to do them, they make exceptional religious Christmas cards."

Marie shared, "Two different areas of California had holiday luncheons this weekend. Look at the smiles on these ladies! There is nothing like meeting in person."

We love to see your friendships!

Pam wrote, "I didn’t have any photos I wanted to use for this ornament, so made my own little scene for it."

Great idea!

Maria said, "Slimline fun today, ho ho ho!"

Ruth said, "Hope your Thanksgiving was amazing! Here is a card I made for my church. It sits on the front office counter.  I usually make a special card for them using all AG dies and card stock…thank you Anna for making such beautiful products that inspire us to make beautiful things in the making! Merry Christmas and blessings to you all!"

Love how you added the Three Wise Men 3D Dies to your theater card. 

It's hard to believe that we are less than 2 weeks away. We hope your holiday season is merry, bright, full of holiday cheer and crafting! Keep posting your paper projects with us on our social media channels, or email them to us at RSVP@annagriffin.com. We adore featuring your work!

Xoxo,

Anna
