Hi crafters,

Spending that creative time together is always such a joy, and your enthusiasm, encouragement and love of crafting mean the world to us. Seeing what you create fills our hearts with admiration and gratitude. Now it is time to shine a joyful spotlight on this week’s Craftspiration, because these gorgeous projects are nothing short of spectacular!

Come be inspired!

Donna said, "I made this card for a friend who is going through a difficult illness. I used the Heirloom Nouveau Cardstock Collection to create it. This is my new favorite cardstock. The colors, designs, and the ability to combine these papers into something amazing is extraordinary!"

Diane said, "My Sunday Share is finished & recently given to a dear friend for her birthday. Made from the phenomenal Dahlia, Mum & Sunflower 3D Floral Dies that I am really enjoying because they welcome individual creativity."

Marie said, "This witch always reminds me of the Bewitched show! Had fun with a tent card and gilding wax on the frame." How fun!

Diane said, "The Gothic Revival 3D Frame die set is one of my favourites to use during this time of year. Anna Griffin Inc. Halloween kits, die sets and ephemera come together so beautifully to make unique cards and projects. 🎃"

Terry said, "Today's share brings together a combo of lovely products - Filigree Concentric dies, Butterfly Mini dies, Francesca paper collection, plus flower stickers and a sentiment pulled from mystery boxes."

Eve said, "I’m playing with the new harvest molding dies. I used embellishments from some older fall sets."

Clare said, "Finishing pages from the last Create before the next Create. I had these made before graduating. I didn’t take enough photos. Thankfully, the internet had some great campus landmarks. I love Jack with the Illini blue and orange!"

Terry said, "I recently bought these dies when they were on sale, and they are wonderful! I made these treat boxes for my granddaughters. I know these dies will get plenty of use; I have sooo many ideas!"

Gwen said, "Halloween tis weekend. I need to start my Christmas cards! Maybe tomorrow." 

Maria said, "Happy Sunday! Working with Harvest Molding this weekend for the first time. I really love the leaves in this die set!"

Sherry said, "I'm catching up October birthday cards so I can get serious about Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving cards."

Mary Beth said, "Just a few more Halloween cards to go! Love purple and green color combos!"

Kathleen said, "Dar you ready for this one? Anna Griffin’s new Gondola 3D Scene Die is my latest favorite - though how can I pick just one!! I’m making WAVES with this special 3D scene using foils, fussy cutting, pop dots, and Persian-inspired cardstock paper. All these elements come together beautifully with the “wave” die cut having the unique ability to just die cut into the water background!! Venice, here we come!!"

Karen said, "Put these together for fall with extra embellishments using paper seedling pots from the nursery, painted, and added a little glitter and ribbon from my craft room, then small pumpkin on top. They could be customized for any holiday and would be great for a desk at work."

Carrie said, "Hello team AG Here is a scrapbook page I did this week. I enjoyed using the photo mats to journal on. Carrie" Here’s a lovely peek at memory making!

Pamela said, "I viewed an Anna Griffin tutorial on making a Halloween wreath. This was my inspiration for my Christmas wreath using a border die to make the ruffle and China Cabinet dies for the circle shape. Anna Griffin papers make the wreath very unique."

Susan said, "Good afternoon all I created a witch flying over a home to put a spell on them. Regards Susan G"

Zareena said, "This card is a special one for my childhood minister who has dementia. He loves light houses and your beautiful frames made this image I found complete. The frames are so interchangeable!"

Joan JJoan said, "Greetings from Vermont. Colors are beginning to pop in Vermont and Anna’s Harvest Molding Die and the September mystery box were just the things to create a fall greeting card. Background paper is an inked paper from long ago, but some lovely paper in mystery box. Falling in love with all these beautiful materials."
