Hello creative friends,
We're back with another edition of Craftspiration! It looks like you've been having fun making cards, scrapbook pages and 3D crafts for everything from Christmas to birthdays. It's also amazing to see projects made with some of our newest items. From the Tractor Easel Dies to the Pumpkin Kirigami, everything is fantastic!
Come admire this week in crafts!
Vickey posted, "Catching up this Sunday on making Anna’s Simply Anniversary cards. The Simply kits are… simply wonderful!"
This is such a pretty celebration card!
Loraine said, "I couldn't wait to play with the Simply Noel papers and embellishments!"
Heidi shared, "During our Beautiful in the making circle zoom gathering, Bobbi Beech had made a beautiful card with these corner die cut outs. I commented on how gorgeous her card was and was so inspired by the die. Two days later in my mail was a beautiful card from Bobbi and she included this die. So I have made her a card but it’s in the mail so I can’t post yet.
So this card here is for a wonderful lady at my husbands work who had sent us a package with soups and bread and dessert. It was a comfort box to say she knows and has been there in this chapter of life. She wanted to send us a bowl of comfort and relax for the day. This is my thank you card for her. Thank you Bobbi and Anna as this is all your papers."
Donna said, "I have started creating my Christmas cards. This one was made with the new Luxury Shimmer Holiday Card Stock, the Christmas Greetings 3D Concentric Dies and the Snow People Stickers II. The center picture was from my stash. Love the shimmer papers! Perhaps I should title this one, Everyone is out for a walk!"
Joanne posted, "I just finished 25 thank you cards for an Honor Flight through Cards For Soldiers. I was able to use my partial Celebration Chest kit along with some Madison paper and embellishments."
Josette' wrote, "My first Christmas village card. The mini house die cuts work great with it. I also just received the Simply Noel Scrapbook & it’s beautiful. I’ve done annual scrapbooks since high school & I’m thinking I’ll do a page of each of our 56 years of marriage favorite Christmas pics. I’ll definitely need to add more pages! I think it’ll make a great Christmas memory scrapbook & hopefully can add a yearly page for years to come."
Barbara said, "I just completed this layout. I have RA and my bows are not the best. The ribbon is from my own stash, but I was inspired by a layout I saw on the members only live stream, where they used ribbon on the border. I knew immediately that I would add bows. I also had fun adding the flourishes above and beside the photo."
Fifi posted this stunning easel card using the 3D Victorian Christmas Dies.
Gay Lynn shared, "It was a very special birthday this month at our house! 18! So proud of our musical guy!"
This is such a special, custom card! Happy birthday to your son!
Lu posted, "Happy Sunday! I used the Perfume Boxes dies and the Birthday Wishes kit. I love this die on cards!"
Sherry shared, "I have a few birthday & Anniversary cards to make before I can begin to play with my Simply Noel kit. This card is for a veterinary tech-- I love how I can make a card that has dogs and cats in the theme. And, how typical is this scene? A dog taking a leisurely nap on a bench while the cat strategizes on when they will make the attack on the bird!"
Jo Ann made this incredible tractor! We look forward to seeing even more of these in the future.
Eve said, "I played with the Mr. Claus dies. One is using traditional color-way, and one in pink."
Shellie wrote, "Before and after hosting young grandchild's Unicorn Birthday party, I received in my mailbox and die cut everything to make my first Halloween-2024 Anna Griffin interactive Pumpkin Kirigami card, following inspiration in the Illustrated instructions to acquaint myself with the die, which I found very helpful! It includes various Collections from Halloween- and Thankfulness-cardstocks, and Vintage Garden (die cuts). (Ribbon is from my craft-stash--and, wasn't even as tricky as taking a photograph to share, LOL!)"
Vickie shared, "These doggie embellies are so dang cute!"
Joyce said, "My Sunday Share isn't a scrapbook page but this Christmas card made with Anna's angel die and some holographic paper that was gifted to me."
Janet wrote, "I’ve been busy making cards! I am amazed at the detail on the new birthday dies that I won. (Thank you so much, Anna). They are as detailed as Dresdens."
Karen Happy Sunday/Monday! Here are all my completed Garden Fountain Finishing School creations! Wow, was that beautiful and fun to work with. I can't wait to hand all these beauties out!
Kim Made my first purse yesterday using the luxury quilted die set.

Great work everyone. Oh how I hate that I missed the Village dies they look stunning.
I am ALWAYS amazed at the creativity of this community! Today’s Craftspiration was no exception!
Wow! Today’s Craftspiration is unbelievable. Barbara, your layout with ribbon trim and bows is brilliant. Perfection. I, too, have RA. Having trouble using my phone today. I’m grateful for card supplies that go from easy to advanced in difficulty.
Also loving Gay Lynn’s musical card, Eve’s Santa cards and Jo Ann’s tractor!
Just wonderful!
Wow!!!! So much inspiration in so many variations this week. Thx all for your shares
