Craftspiration- September 18th, 2025

Hi crafters,

From heartfelt birthdays and golden anniversaries to thoughtful tributes and cards just because, you’ve outdone yourselves once again! The way you craft fills our hearts with gratitude and wonder. Whether you’re honoring loved ones or diving into new dies, the creations below prove that handmade is always the most meaningful. This week, we're celebrating milestone moments, autumn palettes, and even a clever sliding card or two. 

Come see the projects on today's Craftspiration.

Evelyne shared, "I love how simple, but elegant this harlequin die set is. Mine are simple and was so easy to put together."

Shellie said, “Using all Anna, I can make what I ‘see’ and what they ‘like,’ even if a little different—but always perfect for the recipient and occasion.”

Dayle shared, “Happy Sunday. I made this fall Harlequin Bow Die card using the Thankfulness Paper Collection for a softer fall color palette. The dies were from the Harvest Icon Cut and Emboss Folder.”

Carrie posted, “Hi Anna! We celebrated my husband’s birthday over the weekend. He loved the card I made him with your Schooner Dies! It was my first time using these dies & I look forward to using them again for the other men in our family!”

Gay Lynn Randall Schlosser said, “Starting on some Halloween cards using the Faded Rose Stickers and my favorite embossed owl icon.”

Diane wrote, “Bought the Birthday Kit to make 130 cards for my local Church Women’s Group Cards & Birthdays for 2025. There are oodles of beautiful flowers, birthday sentiments, cards, flourishes and toppers in the kit. It’s been a blessing making these cards for a worthy purpose to cheer up lives and make each lady feel loved and special.”

Joyce said, “I’ve been working on some Christmas cards and here are two of my favorites for this year! Love this die set!”

Belinda shared, “Love this marigold color! The birthday recipient did too!”

Annie Laura said, “My Clever Sliding Card with Butterfly, Bee, Dragonfly.”

Yvonne posted, “Honored to make a 50th Anniversary card using the Crop at Home 5 Dies with gold foil and Faded Rose collection. The sentiment was cut with the Concentric Diamond Dies.”

Terry wrote, “Hello friends! The new Harlequin Bow Dies are super fun & full of creative possibilities!”

Tamar said, “I didn’t get to play with my new dies yet…they’re sitting pretty on my desk staring at me begging to break out of their plastic wrap and jump in and get squished between two plated … Until that happens, here’s a recent one I made for a friend.”

Shirley posted, “I made this layout with Anna’s Antique Botanical Paper Crafting kit. I used her folding technique for making the little triangular border accents. The colors are so beautiful and kind of match my daughter’s face paint.”

Stacie shared, “The new Woodland Dies are beautiful, first time using them.”

Gloria said, “I made this card for a friend. This new die was amazing to use. Thank You.”

Kim said, “My first card using the new Harlequin 3D Bow dies. Great die set and can be used for so many occasions.”

Roxanne shared, "It was fun creating this card in special memory of your father. My son and his dad rebuilt a car in 2002. I remember it well!! Thank you."
