Barbara said, "I made myself use embossing folders for these cards."

Sherry posted, "I wanted to try out my beautiful Anniversary Paper Crafting kit on a birthday card for a friend. I loved Anna's Delphinium card from the 30th Anniversary AGTV show so I used her inspiration to come up with this card. In the center of the card, I fussy cut one of the Delphiniums from the papers in the kit, and added a bouquet of flowers from the Delicate Engravings collection along with a couple of gold foil leaves .The Yellow Butterfly carries the message and gives the card a pop of color."

Sally I always enjoy making valentines with my Anna stash!

Tracy wrote, "Another Valentine card. I am in love with Anna's breathtaking dies and cardstock."

These Ribbon of Hearts Slimline Dies are some of our favorite this year!

Diane shared, The Beau Regards slimline cards make great masculine Valentine cards. These are for our sons.

They are going to love them!

Terry said, "Galentine's Day cards are my favorite cards to make! A time to celebrate the blessing of gal pals, Sunday Share & Griffinite friends. I'm grateful for your kindness, support & inspiration. My share today features these beautiful vintage-feel products: Lace Doily Dies, Romantic Stickers & Sentiments & Fountain Garden Cardstock.

Jane HOT pink valentine! My memories go back to those crazy big boxes of chocolate from the 1970s that are over the top frilly with velvet fabric accents. This valentine is an ode to those candy boxes. I love the easel dies from Anna Griffin Inc. 2019 collection.

Jane posted, "Making Valentines, mixing some older and newer AG products. Always timeless."

Shirley My Daughter’s Birthday is today. This is the card I made for her and she loves it.

Dayle Sunday share is a Valentines bi-fold card.

Wanda For a friend who broke her elbow roller skating…

Beautiful use of the 3D Concertina Dies!

Clare posted, "Birthday card for my best friend since 7th grade, whom I gifted to Seb when he needed a CEO (so we don't get to talk about boys anymore, since my boy is her boss). Tag from Create 9!"

Yvonne A stroll among Europe’s cobblestone streets surrounded by terra cotta, lush flowers and aged copper gave me the inspiration for this Flower Shop. The paper is actually a canvas painting that I bartered with a person selling them in Florence Italy. Never told them I was going to cut it up to make beautiful cards. The window and door lattice is from the C9 Perfume Bottles. Flowers are from Thankfulness PC kit. Wine bottle and glasses are from Tour Eiffel.

Mary Beth A simple Valentine...in PINK of course!

Joy Making Valentines today with my stash of vintage postcard images & Anna's gorgeous dies, toppers, valentine stickers, flower die cuts & papers.

Clare I am using extra cuts from Crop at Home 3 and scraps. I hope to have them all used before Crop at Home 4. Can’t wait til May!

Pam Have a friend who wanted a couple of Valentine cards for family members.

We spy the Lace Doily Embellishments! 

Arlene shared, "The Anniversary Celebration inspired me to revisit some of the dies I have not used in a long time. Found the Fancy Edge Dies from 2019 and used them for my easel card. Time flies…"

Elizabeth said, "I pulled out my Carte Noire Finishing School Craft Box. I used my new Slim Line Oblong dies and Antique Luxury Matte foil card stock with 

some of the cards. I also made birthday cards using  the embellishments from the Create 8 Birthday Festival class with other dies including the regular Oblong Dies.  

Taking a cue from Wanda, thank you for including my cards!

Edyne shared, "Last year I played with Anna Griffin birdhouse dies to make projects for all seasons. This year I hope to use Anna's dies to create seasonal banners.  Here is my banner for Valentine's Day! I used Enchanted heart dies, AG paper and With Love stickers."

Gloria posted, "I made the card for a girlfriend of mine for her birthday."

What a scrumptious looking cake!

Thank you all for the absolutely gorgeous inspiration this week. We love to share and show off your paper crafting. Post on our social media channels or feel free to email us a picture of what you are making at RSVP@annagriffin.com.

Our next AGTV show, Lucky Bunny is Wednesday, February 7th at 12pm. We hope to see you there!
