Christmas train with all the trimmings

Craftspiration - December 28th

Hi Griffinites,

We have arrived at our last Craftspiration of 2023! It's hard to believe that another year has gone by. We want to thank everyone who shared their projects with us and our community. We love seeing all of the wonderful things that you create. Thank you all for a spectacular year of beautiful in the making!

Loretta said, "One finished and another to go."

So festive with the Madonna and Child Dies and Slimline Bells!

Terry posted, "Hello, everyone! I made this card for my 84 yr-old brother who seems to be mesmerized by the concept of being able to “build” your own cards. I think that’s funny because he spent his life as an architectural engineer designing and building malls!"

We know that he loved your train card!

Celia said, "Anna, I love your Christmas display at the office as well as your Christmas tree."
We love your holiday scene ornament! 
Barbara said, "I really like using the compendium dies to come up with different layering options."
Shirley wrote, "I didn’t make today. But wanted to share."
Coletta shared, "One more share from today - finished my first Create 9 ornament, So fun and beautiful!"
Susie made this pretty card!
We haven't seen the 3D Holiday Card Layer Dies in a minute. Thank you for sharing!
Laura said, "This card was created some time ago, but I wanted to say that this is Anna Griffin's beautiful Christmas ornaments cardstock. I used a small scallop rotary tool to create this scallop look."
Vanessa shared, "I made a 3D box book with Christmas scenes inside."
Shirley shared, "Making 24 cards for my crafty friends. I did a flat version of the snow globe card using the snow globe dies, cartouche cut and emboss folders and Christmas botanical and pattern cardstock. It was a lot of fun making these."
Yvonne wrote, "The Antique Train Slimline Easel needed some holiday love! Made with red matte foil with a Holly shadow from the Christmas Cardstock Pads (2). Easel is green with gold foil, I think from the Christmas Double Sided cardstock. Matte Gold trim with embellishments from C8. Love the candles in the window!"
Shirley said, "Please show Anna. She’ll get a kick out of this!"
How creative! Using the Present Easel Dies to make dreidels is genius! 
We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a creative community, and we appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for continuing to create along with us, and make the world a more beautiful place with your talents.
Love,
Anna

Absolutely love the creativity of all the cards. I’ve never really made hand crafted Christmas card for more than five people, but all the examples here have really inspired me for next year! Really love that antique train card. Anna really out does herself with that design! Can’t wait for the January 5th release! I just watched the preview and heard a shout out to the California Griffinites which I recently joined. Thanks Anna for all your beautiful designs and all your hard work!
