Hello crafters,
We want to start by thanking all of you who tuned in to our AGTV show, Christmas in July yesterday. We got the holiday crafting season started in the best way! If you missed our hour of fun, you can watch it and other past shows here.
We have the prettiest display of projects to show you today from our crafting community. It’s wonderful to see and read that some of you have already ordered your Christmas Wishes Card Making Kit and Birthday Wishes Card Making Kit. We are so excited for you to join us for our Merry Craftsmas shows on HSN July 25th at 1am, 12pm, 5pm and 9pm. We have made incredible holiday and birthday items just for you!
Come look at all of the gorgeous projects that have come into the office this week.
Diane said, “I have had such fun with the carousel dies.”
Margaret posted, “I completed a page in my art journal using some supplies I had left over from Create 8. I usually make cards and do scrapbooking but I’m learning mixed media as well. I wanted to share the page with you. Looking forward to Create 9!”
Diane wrote, “I wanted to share an encouragement card I just made for a friend. I love this particular Annalise paper background topped with one of my favorite Lace Cut & Emboss Dies in shiny green matte foil. Also, I cut a bunch of different colors of butterflies out of the Butterflies 3D-Dies from saved scraps to add for a final touch to cards with Anna’s flower sticker embellishments.”
You know that we love pink and green together!
Dayle said, “I have working on a series of card for our church club ministry. Anna’s beautiful papers, flower borders and 3D baroque frame concentric dies and for fun butterflies and bows. Thank you for such a wonderful die set.”
Jan shared, “This is one of the cards I made last week with a matching envelope. The card bases, flowers, and rub-ons are all part of the Carte Noire collection. I used the Birthday Festival Dies from last year’s Create.”
All of the different Carte Noire elements are gorgeous together, Jan!
Thea wrote, “Yes, I’m so excited for Create 9! I couldn’t wait for July 25, so I ordered both Christmas and Birthday Wishes Boxes. Here’s a guy card! I’m getting better at making cards for the guys in our lives! I feel so lost not putting flowers and shiny things on my cards!”
Carrie said, “Hi Anna! Yes, I ordered the Christmas kit & look forward to receiving it! Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made with your beautiful Fancy French Frame dies & your beautiful Flower Pot Decoupage die cuts!”
Vanessa posted, “I made a beautiful wedding card for a wedding at the end of the month.”
This is such a stunning wedding card. Great work!
Terry shared, “Pairing up the Birthday Wishes Concentric dies with Salon Nouveau paper & stickers. These gorgeous dies are my new favorite (but only until the next fabulous AG die set comes along).”
Donna said, “I have been very busy crafting with the Carriage Dies. I just love them! I created this carriage for my daughter who has three dogs that look amazingly similar to the pups in Anna‘s Canine Card Topper kit. I have been taking care of the dogs while my daughter and her husband went on a cruise to Bermuda.This card is her welcome home from the dogs. Now, I need a vacation!”
So cute! The dogs in the carriage is definitely a cute idea.
Shirley wrote, “Made a few flower cart birthday cards for my friends. It’s 116F outside and the best way to beat the heat is to craft indoors!”
Maria shared, “Yes I ordered my Christmas box and looking forward to getting more cards done soon. Today a quick birthday card for a friend, enjoy your day everyone. Love seeing all the creative cards! So beautiful!”
Debbie said, “Charlie moved off my lap so I finally got one card made with the new Christmas box. Added some sparkle & shine, along with a little ribbon.”
Gorgeous card, Debbie!
Marcia posted, “Happy 60th Anniversary card with China Cabinet flowers, Gold foil floral card stock, Album making dies and Delightful card base and pink vellum.”
Fifi shared, “Another kitty truck! Love that die.”
Everything is beautiful! We love starting our Thursdays out being so inspired by your lovely cards, scrapbook pages and paper projects. To be featured on Craftspiration, post your projects on our Facebook page or email us at RSVP@annagriffin.com. We look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Bye for now,
Anna

Beautiful inspiring crafting!
Beauty, beauty everywhere thanks for sharing so much variety. Lady’s your eyes are always a step ahead. Love your cards and projects.
So pretty everyone thank you for sharing your hard work.
Love the kitties on the truck .I would be interested in your animal card toppers. Are they new?
Beautiful cards! Was nice looking at them because I haven’t been able to go into my craft room to work on cards. My mom passed away on June 5. The last card I made in there was her Mothers Day card. In fact Anna’s card kit box is still laid out on my tables. I haven’t been able to put it away. Looking at these lovely cards here gives me some inspiration to maybe get in there! My sister’s birthday is Aug.6, and I need to get her card designed and sent. All this inspiration has helped. Thank you everyone. Been a long time since I posted on here.
