Craftspiration - October 10th, 2024

Hi crafters,

Let's get your Thursday started right! There's nothing like beginning the day with some Craftspiration from your fellow crafters. Below we are sharing the wonderful things that were made and posted across our social media channels and emailed to us.

Take a close look, we know that there is something there to inspire you to head to your craft room.

Elizabeth said that she "Sent 50+ Halloween cards, and used the Vintage Halloween Card Kit and Halloween Cut and Emboss Folders. 

Babs made this gorgeous Halloween card! 

Shellie posted, "Happy Sunday Share, creative friends! Your papercraft inspires me very much. Today, I'm creating cards like this, using Grateful Paperdolls--my favorite, yet--and Luxury Shimmer-Fall to send in this thankful season.

Donna wrote, "Good afternoon friends. I just finished this sympathy card for a dear friend who lost her son. I love the Rose Papers and the Paris Green Paper. Anna, could we please have more of the flourishes from the Rose embellishments. I just love them and everything about this collection."

Jane said, "I'm manifesting Fall weather and with that I'm sharing a Fall themed Scaredy Cat Halloween card. I combined vintage Anna Griffin Inc. with newer items."

Laura shared, "Happy Sunday Share to all my friends! I truly love making Birthday cards with Anna Griffin's Astrid floral and black background colors cardstock from Create 9. I used Anna's Birthday Wishes dies, her floral stickers and a beautiful Birthday sentiment sticker."

Dayle wrote, "Having so much fun with the Trick or Treat Box Dies. This one is a wobble kitty cat box bag for my kitty loving granddaughter. All Anna’s papers and embellishments and the spell burst cut and emboss folder."

Marie shared, "I have a special Sunday share which was brunch and exchanges in northern CA with these lovely members of the Beautiful In the Making Circle California group. So much fun with lovely conversations, exchanges, a special video and if you look real close Anna joined us! There is nothing like meeting online friends in person."

Maria said, "For our crafty gathering, I shared autumn pumpkins with everyone and attached tags made using Thankfulness Card Toppers."

Heidi posted, "Haha. Anna to the rescue again by adding flower stickers to the headband. I had the ability to see my oldest son and his new home yesterday. He was having his first Oktoberfest party. It’s been awhile since we have seen each other. He did not think I was coming and was so bummed. I snuck up behind him and spoke German and he turned around and just cried. The best moment ever! Even had myself in costume."

Sheree said, "Just got these dies and wanted to try them out. Watched one of the videos in Finishing School and this is my interpretation."

Martha wrote, "September Griffinites Mystery Boxes scrapbook page."

Whitney shared, "Just finished this mini album for my mom's 80th birthday...she cried...but in a good way."

Cynthia posted, "A Parliament of Owls will be flying out this week to wish my friends a beautiful autumn. The gorgeous colors of the Fall Luxury Shimmer Cardstock were perfect for bringing the Falloween Owl to life. The inside reads “Enjoy All the Colors of Autumn”. The pretty autumn stamps from the USPS are the finishing touch."

Clare said, "For my 4th grade girl cousin in Denmark. Going for friendly & fun. I loved it when I realized my favorite cardstock set, Eleanor, was full of pink & black."

Sherry wrote, "This week I will be crafting Halloween easel cards with my Senior Group. I will be using the pumpkins and embellishments from the Simply Rocking Pumpkin Card Kit, along with my Retro Halloween stickers and easel cards cut from my Easel Dies and Halloween cardstock. I decided to not use the rocking cards because I think my seniors might get frustrated trying to get the card to balance and rock evenly. So instead of rocking pumpkins they will be making easel cards with pumpkins that wobble."

Arlene posted, "This past week worked on Halloween noice makers made with cardboard ribbon wheels, they have the hole in the middle so able to add pellets. The AG Perfectly Scary Paper Rosettes are the perfect backdrop for the Halloween Retro Stickers. The handles were made by covering a pencil with washi tape. It was a fun project!"
