Barbara said, “Good Afternoon!! I made this card for my good local friend Denise whom I met thru Anna!… This card was so much fun to make!!”

You created such a gorgeous birthday scene with the Grand Staircase Dies!

Debra said, “Made a wedding card for my niece, she was married last night in a beautiful vineyard, in the most lovely ceremony. Anna’s dies are always classics!”

Roxanne said, “Finally feeling better and making use of my Cornucopia Easel Die!! Absolutely amazing and so easy to use! Thanks Anna and your amazing team!!”


Belinda said, “I used the Thankfulness Cardstock and Thankfulness Embellishments to make this easel Thanksgiving card. It has a shadow box feel!”

Shellie Marken Fontana said, “I’m so pleased to say that I’ve completed my prepping for upcoming CREATE as of today… I’m sending it to childhood friend whose aunt was my 5th-grade teacher and had a large door decoration like this owl (whoooo watched over the classroom lest there be tricks without treats)!”

(How fun!)

Mary created an incredible spooky pulley card with Scary White Rub Ons, Faded Rose and Black Matte Foil.

Alice Joan Anderson said, “When I’m not prepping for Create, I’m making pumpkin treat boxes for my grandkids and my friend in memory care! Such fun on a fall day!

Diane said, “This is a little more of an ornate style for me but, using a tray and teacup from Anna’s Favorite Tea Embellishments, I made a birthday card… The tiny pink bow was from my personal stash.”

Gay Lynn said, “Sending condolences and hopefully a little comfort.”

Michelle Taylor said, “I made a scrapbook page of my friend and I having high tea in London.”

Michelle said, “Birthday gift for a friend.”

Vicky Mouze said, “Double, double toil and trouble! Recipe for a Card Full of Spooky Good Fun.”

1. Search through stash of Anna Griffin goodies and do the following:
2. Cut a 5x7 card from a piece of Halloween card stock; fold in half lengthwise.
3. Locate the 5x7 card from the Perfect Pattern cards and using a Card Making Compendium Die, cut out the card, centered on the gorgeous and awesome flower pattern. Affix thick double-sided tape to the back. Suggestion: Affix another layer of tape over the first layer for awesome depth and visual interest! If one layer is awesome, two layers are even more awesome! Set aside.
4. Locate the Spooky Tree Scene from the Halloween Vellum Card Toppers and cut out the tree scene using an original Compendium die. Use double-sided tape and affix to the 5x7 card. Center the flower pattern frame over the tree and affix.
5. Add a Halloween sticker to the lower left of the card and affix an appropriate Halloween sentiment.
6. Your card is now complete. Place it in an envelope and mail it to a family member or friend. Even better, hand deliver! Happy Halloween!

Patricia shared, "I'm having so much fun with these Coffin Dies. For the coffin liners I used two of Anna's embossing folders. The cream and grey roses are perfect for scary and beautiful fun. Thanks Anna for all of the creations you offer."
