Cream, Black and Gold lighthouse easel card

Fan Mail Friday- July 25th, 2025

Hi everyone,

It’s Fan Mail Friday— our favorite time of the week! We’re kicking off birthday month a little early, and it’s already brimming with love, creativity and the most thoughtful gestures. Thank you for celebrating with us and sharing such beautiful handmade joy. Whether it's cards, letters or vintage treasures, every piece of mail is filled with kindness and heart.

Watch the video:

Renee created a lighthouse easel card using a die set from our membership program. She modeled it after the Fire Island Lighthouse near her Long Island home, and crafted with her cousin Nicole using our new staircase dies— what a summer celebration!

Diane celebrated the four-year anniversary of the Florida Griffinites group! From ten hopeful members to 205 strong, their events and Zoom chats have blossomed into a thriving, connected community. Amazing work, Diane! We love your Diamond Kirigami card!

Erica Zipper sent a windmill easel card with anniversary florals a meaningful message about transformation and resilience. Her Hello Kitty stationery and encouraging words were just the boost we needed— thank you, Erica!

Carol made an explosion box with rub-ons and a floral surprise inside. She summers in Maine and looks forward to Create each year— this will be her fourth!

Isn't the inside so much fun?

Diane closed us out with the most thoughtful gift— a scrapbook of Patrick’s grandmother’s vintage cards, a beautiful Antique Botanical card and a Longfellow Birthday Book filled with poetry and inspiration. What a treasure trove of history and love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My husband says you ladies celebrate “birthmonths”. You’re celebrating a two-month birthday, and you deserve it. I love the Francisca kit. It reminds me of reading in my comfortable chair on a warm, sunny day in Autumn. I have collected all the pieces and had to find a new space for them in the house. Luckily, the top of the stair landing is painted RL Devonshire Cream and complements your kit perfectly. I would appreciate more paper sized for making cards. Happy, happy birthmonth.

I always have the most fun using the explosion box dies. Last year made an amazing Seattle Seahawk theme for my grandson. And this spring a graduation box with my nieces high school activities. The possibilities are endless. These boxes look hard, but they couldn’t be easier.
