Hi crafters,

Our latest AGTV show, Garden Haven, was filled with beautiful garden-inspired designs, gorgeous new embossing folders and plenty of papercrafting inspiration! From intricate gates and elegant florals to sweet baby cards and gilded sentiments, we had so much fun creating together. We also welcomed a special guest, shared incredible Viewer Creations and looked ahead to Create Fall 2026!

If you missed the show or want another look at everything we shared, here's your Livestream Lowdown!

Our winners are below. If you see your name and haven't already, please email us with your address to claim your prize. We've been a little busy with Create, but will get this out to you ASAP!

Garden Gate and Pavilion 3D Embossing Folders

We kicked things off with our BIG MAKE featuring the NEW Garden Gate and Pavilion 3D Embossing Folders! These gorgeous folders bring incredible depth and dimension to your paper projects, creating beautifully detailed architectural backgrounds inspired by elegant gardens. Unlike traditional embossing folders, these thicker 3D designs create deeper impressions that make every detail stand out. They're perfect for adding texture and a little garden magic to your handmade cards!

Beautiful Gate 3D Dies

One of our favorite garden designs is back in stock! The Beautiful Gate 3D Dies create an intricate, dimensional gate that makes a stunning focal point for any card. We loved showing how these dies work alongside our newest garden-inspired products to create beautiful layers, charming scenes and cards that feel like stepping into a secret garden.

Inspirational Collage Card Toppers

Another returning favorite made its appearance during Garden Haven! The Inspirational Collage Card Toppers are filled with beautiful imagery and thoughtful sentiments that make it easy to create meaningful cards. We demonstrated how to use these lovely toppers with our Perfect Double Bows 50 Count ($32, 43% off) for a finishing touch. Sometimes all it takes is a beautiful topper and the perfect bow to create something truly special!

Our Special Guest Moment

We were delighted to welcome Wejphamd Sherrod-Thomas from south of Chicago for our special Guest Moment! She's part of the Anna-ddictions, and she talked about how much fun it is to get to see her fellow crafters in the craft room at Create. It's always a pleasure to connect with members of our crafting community and celebrate the creativity and friendships that bring us all together!

Baby Carriage Easel Dies and Baby Icon Cut and Emboss Folders

Next, we celebrated some of life's sweetest moments with two returning favorites!

The Baby Carriage Easel Die Set creates an adorable dimensional carriage card that's perfect for welcoming a little one. We shared a quick build to show how easily this charming design comes together.

We also welcomed back the Baby Icon Cut and Emboss Folders, featuring sweet designs that add beautiful embossed detail to baby cards, invitations and keepsakes. These products are wonderful for creating something handmade to celebrate a new arrival!

Calligraphy Sentiment Gilded Hot Foil Plates

There's nothing quite like a beautiful sentiment to complete a handmade card! We demonstrated the Calligraphy Sentiment Gilded Plates Bundle, featuring six elegant sentiments, including the Heartfelt and Thoughtful Calligraphy designs.

These beautiful hot foil plates add a polished, gilded finish to your projects, making your heartfelt messages just as lovely as the cards themselves.

Garden Fountain Easel Finishing School Kit

We also featured special pricing on the Garden Fountain Easel Finishing School Kit! This beautiful kit brings the charm of a garden fountain to your handmade cards with a dimensional easel design. It's a wonderful way to create an impressive project filled with intricate details and timeless elegance.

Create Fall 2026 – The Countdown Is On!

We're getting closer to our favorite crafting weekend of the season! During Garden Haven, we reminded everyone that Create Fall 2026 was approaching quickly, with boxes preparing to ship. This year's event celebrates Heritage, Home and Hope with nine incredible classes, beautiful projects and three days of creativity with our fellow Griffinites. We can't wait to see everyone come together for this special weekend!
