Craftspiration- February 19th, 2026

Hi crafters,

As we wrap up the sweetness of Valentine’s Day and ring in the joy of Lunar New Year, we are already spotting shamrocks on the horizon! YOU have been celebrating love, fresh beginnings and a little lucky sparkle in the most incredible, heartfelt ways. From romantic layers and gilded details to festive floats and springtime hues, your creativity captures the spirit of every season so beautifully. It fills us with admiration and gratitude to see how you mark life’s moments with paper and purpose. This week’s projects carry us from hearts to lanterns to leprechauns and we are loving every single one!

Come be inspired!

Terry said, "Happy Sunday Share everyone! And Leapin’ Leprechauns! I successfully modified the Shaped Shamrock cards into rocking cards, using Anna’s rocker card dies! I love it when an idea actually works out."

Gay Lynn said, "I have a sweet friend who is sometimes disappointed about the weather on her late winter birthday so I always make her birthday card hinting at Spring"

Jane said, "Happy St. Valentine's Day weekend! I love crafting valentines. I crafted this valentine shaker card with Anna Griffin Inc. 3D Baroque Concentric Dies + China Cabinet Floral Stickers. #beautifulinthemaking" How fun!

Diane said, "I used quite a bit of Anna’s papers, dies and embellishments! I am so happy Anna made a Card Stand Die to hold all that beauty!"

Kathleen said, "On this Sunday Share, I’m sharing my elegant sympathy cards made primarily from the Praying Hands Die cuts that come also with a gorgeous Stained Glass window and Cross. Using a variety of AG papers and coordinating Foils, these elegant cards will communicate love and comfort to those beginning a grief journey. To those of you grieving, may you feel God’s comfort and the prayers people lifting you up."

Marie said, "It’s so much fun in my creative world to try using the Gild on different products. I love how well it foils on the Cricut faux leather Anna had and the metallic blue paper."

Diane said, "I made this card for a special friend’s birthday using the wonderful techniques Anna had taught during last November’s CREATE. It was the most amazing learning experience and I am so looking forward to the next CREATE event in May."

Jennifer said, "Tried my new Gild with the Shimmer cardstock, so much fun to foil!"

Annie Laura said, "One of my favorite cards after using The Gild."

Shirley said, "Played with the Gilded hot foil machine all weekend and I'm loving it! Made this Lunar New Year card using Lian cardstock, embellishments, fancy French frame die and gilded floral hot foil plates on clear film."

Julie said, "Happy Mardi Gras Anna & Team! I played with many of my Anna toys to create this float for my granddaughter’s scrapbook. I used my Book Nook Dies from Create 2025 and the 3D Tractor Easel Dies for most of the inspiration.Then the Antique Train Slimline Easel Dies for the float wheels. The 3D Holiday Mailbox Dies made the Tractor Sign Pole. For the signs I used the Mini Feline Stamp and Dies and my favorite 3D Music Dies to embellish the Float. Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! -Julie Davis, New Orleans"

Anna from Savannah said, "Love the new Lotus Concentric Frame Dies.

Cynthia said, "Dear Anna, I'm 77 and twenty years ago I worked for an Arts and Craft company. It was a nightmare and I never wanted to touch crafts again. While scrolling through HSN I discovered your products and want to thank you for the joy of crafting coming back into my life. Attached are two of my creations. Some of my stock is very old.

Cindy said, "My husband and I put together the first two puzzles you sold. Both are so beautiful we had them framed. We had planned to frame the posters but the framer couldn't remove all the creases. We are so thrilled with them. Thank you for the beautiful products you sell.

From valentines filled with love to Lunar New Year brilliance and a hint of St. Patrick’s Day charm. We adore how you honor each season: romance, renewal and a little Irish luck with such thoughtful detail and generous spirit. As we step toward shamrocks and springtime celebrations, keep sharing on our social media channels or send your photos to RSVP@annagriffin.com. We cannot wait to see how you celebrate what comes next!

Bye for now,

Anna
