Hi crafters,
What a joyful season of creativity we’ve been celebrating together! As the sparkle of the Fourth of July festivities begins to wind down, we're happily trading fireworks for festive paper, beautiful embellishments and all the magic of Christmas in July. Griffinites continue to amaze us with incredible talent, generous spirit and heartfelt creations that express love, celebrate special moments and bring people together. It is an absolute honor to shine a joyful spotlight on everything you've been making. This week's gallery is bursting with beautiful projects that prove your creativity truly knows no bounds!
Come be inspired!
Susan shared her lovely unicorn card, complete with multiple colors of matte foil. So pretty!
Yvonne shared, "Sharing my son's birthday card who will be 43 this Saturday, July 18th! I love the flags from Create Spring 2026 edging the top of the card with places from Yellowstone National Park."
Diane said, "Sharing my first Christmas card this year! I'm already in love with the new Christmas Church Frame 3D Dies. I think this will be choice #1 for making my cards this Christmas this season. There are endless possibilities!" We can already tell it's going to be a spectacular holiday season!
Gay Lynn shared, "Christmas in July is a great way to ensure you have a card made for everyone on your list!"
Kathleen wrote, "I absolutely love the new Christmas Church Dies! I created a batch and included the AG Get Well/Sympathy sentiments, so my pastor friends can send these out during the winter to elderly congregants who can't get to church in the snow and those home recovering from surgeries. What a blessing to know one's church family is praying/thinking about them!! Paired these with the AG Christmas envelope liners as well!!" What a thoughtful way to spread kindness!
Shellie said, "Happy Sunday Share, creative friends! Working on another slightly different design for Pretty Patriotic Die Set now, I'm pleased to have papercrafted a keepsake ornament similar to something Anna showed AG Members. The Semiquincentennial Independence celebration inspired me to make several commemorative cards this month of July, and also some special album pages in progress. I knew right away that I would love to create keepsakes with this wonderful new die set."
Maria shared, "Happy Sunday! I am using the Cake Pop Up Dies for the first time this weekend from I think a mystery box last year. Makes a cute card!" How fun!
Lynn said, "I made a gingerbread corset album. Anna flowers and bow gold foil and the green plaid from Jack collection some red matte foil. The glitter cardstock is the bronze from the Halloween collection. Everything but the lacing and the trim is from Anna Griffin."
Diane wrote, "As soon as my Concentric Circle Dies arrived, I knew I had to use them in making a patriotic card. Each circle is cut out of different cardstock patterns from the June Mystery Box, as well as the fireworks, Statue of Liberty, a star and sentiment scroll, all from my hand written 'God Bless America'. I used blue glitter cardstock behind the red firework and a flag heart from my stash. All these came together to overwhelmingly express appreciation for the freedoms we all enjoy because our forefathers 250 years ago."

Lovely inspiration. I am concerned as I didn’t get this email or FMF this week. I’ll have to figure out why.
Happy Crafting!!
Such beautiful and stunning projects everyone. You all are so talented. Everyone have a great day and may God bless you all.
Hi Anna I really enjoyed watching your HSN segments. You and your lovely craft products were the best of the best . I am so glad you provide the step above the ordinary with such a touch of elegance that makes creative and beautiful card making so.much fun.
Wow! Really inspired by all these fabulous projects! I love how these projects help me re-think how to use some of the AG die cuts I have invested in, especially the Concentric Circle Die Cuts. Absolutely love that idea of just cutting concentric circles in various paper patterns and stacking them! Big THANK YOU to Anna, her team and everyone who took the time to SHARE these wonderful projects.
I always look forward to Craftspiration. So many fun projects. Thanks everyone for sharing. Now back to picking peaches before the squirrels get them all. 🌸
