Craftspiration- October 23rd, 2025

Hi crafters,

Each week, YOU astound us with your heartfelt, imaginative creations—and this week is no exception! From spooky silhouettes to butterfly birthday wishes, your projects remind us how deeply crafting connects us, tells our stories, and spreads joy in every season. Whether you’re honoring holidays or simply celebrating those you love, your hands and hearts continue to craft magic that leaves us speechless.

We’re honored to share this week’s stunning showcase of community creativity—it's packed with personal touches, thoughtful details, and all the festive feels!

Come be inspired!

Terry Lubinski said, “A few years ago, an AG crafter named Raeanne posted the card on the left, which was shown in Craftspiration. I would love to thank her for creating the card my sister fell in love with, and I recreated it on the right.”

Carrie L. Carpenter said, “I forgot to share this last Sunday, so I am sharing today! It is a birthday card I made for my step-daughter for her 40th birthday! All materials used are Anna’s, including the whimsical butterflies that came with an old card kit!”

Mary Beth Hanke said, “Halloween is in the mail…on to Thanksgiving. I do love purple with fall colors!”

Diane Pinkston said, “I made this Halloween card for my sister, who is bed bound in a nursing facility. She loves easel cards for standing up so she can enjoy seeing them. This came from both of Anna’s Flower Cart Finishing School and her additional Flower Cart Halloween package. It has such fun features like the awnings, banners, spiderwebs & of course, the pumpkins & flowers.”

Laura said, “This one makes me smile! I have looked at this Simply Get Well set for a very long time and had the services to justify letting someone know when they are seen, loved & appreciated. Anyway, I love how it turned out. This Get Well sentiment is from Anna’s Simply Get Well set. Love always starts from service, so I use it freely for others, to show kindness and care. Love the sentiment Anna, you have touched my heart, and the friends I have made being a part of your Sunday Share and Create!”

Colette McIntyre said, “Made this card for my 11 year old grandson.

Shellie Marken Fontana said, “Now embellishing some Jack O’ Lantern treat boxes on other side of craft-table, this ‘3D Butterfly’ was center-table first, and morphed into All Hallow’s Eve ‘Day of the Dead’-styled card, using Hermes, Matte Foil Silver (a personal favorite), Metallic ‘Turquoise’, and original Perfect Palette Pink cardstocks with a perfectly trimmed Chinoiserie vase using headband-wreath and other flowers. Layering the corner Butterflies and using foam adhesive give them life to the wonder: Happy Sunday Share, friends!”

Vicki Finger said, “I’m trying to finish up several projects before my Create box arrives tomorrow. I have nearly all of my Christmas Cards finished for this year and this one is my favorite! You might notice that I used the window die-from another of Anna Griffin Inc. dies for the window. The background is just some clip-art I printed to go behind it. Everything else is from the Christmas Present Card Making Kit. I just loved the blue that was added to this year’s kit. As always, beautiful in the making!”

Marie Fix said, “I played around with green lemons opal polish on matte black and love the effect.”

Eve Young said, “I started creating this album last weekend during a crop. I finally finished it. I used the Vintage paper, along with some fringe from Create 9, and the 3D owl compendium dies. The inside has a tri-fold on both inside covers, and the middle has journal pages.”

Diana said, “For my Sunday Share I also made a Happy Thanksgiving card. I loved using Anna’s beautiful PaperCrafting Kit, and Flower Pot Stickers. The faux flowers were from my personal stash.”

Diane said, “Since it is getting colder, I am getting a head start on Christmas. I have so enjoyed using the Festive Tags die set. They make the most beautiful tags that can be used as Christmas tree ornaments.”

Gay Lynn said, “I’ve now decorated for one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, by giving Carte Canton Blue autumnal decor.”

Each project this week reminded us that crafting isn’t just a hobby— it’s a beautiful act of sharing, storytelling and celebration. Whether you’re making tags for the holidays, cards to lift a loved one’s spirits, or decor to bring your home to life, your imagination brings joy far beyond the page. We love seeing your artistry in action! If you’d like to be featured, be sure to email us at RSVP@annagriffin.com or tag us on social.

Bye for now,

Anna
