3D train project with dog embellishments, tropical papers and diecuts

Fan Mail Friday- July 11th, 2025

Hi everyone,

This week’s Fan Mail Friday is full of heart, hope and the incredible beauty that only handmade creations can bring. Each envelope we opened brought something special—your stories, your kindness and your thoughtful, heartfelt works of art. We’re so grateful for the time, effort and love that you pour into every card and letter. Let’s celebrate together the amazing ways crafting connects and uplifts us all.

Watch the video!

We shared a special tribute to longtime Griffinite Mary Huff, who passed away on May 21. Her dear friend David Weisman sent a lovely card and let us know just how much Fan Mail Friday meant to her. Mary’s joy, creativity and butterflies will forever be part of our community.

The A Team from Chicago joined in with fun and flair! Mary Beth sent a beautiful card and clever clamshell-style card box that gave us a chuckle and amazed us with its design. We just love seeing all of the ways that you can create with Lian!

So, so pretty!

Helen created a fashion-forward armoire card with tiny wardrobe accents— she truly has crafting superpowers!

Pam shared a tropical-themed card and an incredible 3D paradise dog train filled with treats. She creates up to 200 cards a month for military and healthcare heroes. We are blown away by your generosity, Pam— thank you for all you do!

These bright, paradise icons and colors have us daydreaming of beach vacations!

We cannot get over how cute this is!

Anna recently had the privilege of joining Jana Short on her inspiring podcast, Oh, My Health...There Is Hope! It was a heartfelt and honest conversation where she opened up about overcoming self-doubt, learning to receive love and how creativity has deeply shaped her life. They explored how her childhood and love for crafting, especially handmade cards, played a transformative role in her personal journey. We hope listening will inspire you to embrace your own creativity and the love that surrounds you. A big thank you to Jana for creating such a warm, meaningful space to share!

Love,


Anna

I was so moved by the card sent by Mary Huff’s friend and the tribute to you, Anna Griffin, to be mentioned in her obituary. I am so lucky to have found you a couple of years ago as there have been many changes in my life that I was no longer able to ride my horse and, have given up many things due to caregiver responsibilities etc. Your products have certainly been a blessing as I can create these beautiful cards for friends and loved ones who always tell me that they are saved and brought out over and over again for holidays etc. Creating cards and watching your videos is my form of relaxation during times of stress and I can relate to those who also share those feelings. Thank you, thank you and also thanks to your team. God bless.
