Hi Griffinites,

You all have outdone yourselves this week with the amazing cards and projects that you shared with us across our social media channels and email! Thank you for the creative spark that you ignited with these lovely crafts! We look forward to seeing what you make each week, and it’s so fun to have a look into your worlds and to see what you are creating for.

Come be inspired!

Valerie said, “Made two cards highlighting the 3D Mini Butterfly dies. Wanted to try something new so I cut out the card fronts and covered both with the three rolls of washi tape I own. The card on the right I made a Pet Sympathy card for my youngest adult niece whose sweet kitty lost her battle against cancer this month. The card on the left are all the washi tape butterflies for a Hello type card for you Anna.”

Jennifer shared, “My very first Anna Griffin Easel card using Anna’s new Flower Cart Finishing School Craft Box & die set. A 27th Birthday card for my youngest daughter Victoria Isabella. We call her Tori Belle. Anna saved the day with her wonderful Finishing School videos. I was watching Anna’s wonderful Flower Cart Instructional Finishing School Videos in the wee hours of the morning of Friday, April 14th (Victoria’s Birthday) in hopes of producing an orange & yellow (her favorite colors) themed card for my daughter before her party later that afternoon. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! She loves flowers & is unfortunately allergic to pollen & sensitive to fragrance. Anna’s beautiful paper flowers & Annalise collection along with Anna’s Flower Cart Finnishing School Craft Box saved the day! It all came together so much faster than I ever imagined it would. She was so pleased & surprised with the card & said she would cherish it & keep it forever! So EXTRA special! Thank you Anna! I am so full of gratitude & thanks not only to you but to my thoughtful generous daughters as well. They purchased an AG Finishing school membership for me for Christmas 2022 & purchased a ticket for Create Crop At Home 3 for me for a Happy Mother’s Day Gift! I am truly blessed. I will get to make beautiful scrapbook pages of our cherished photos & happy memories with my daughters & all of you in Annaland the first weekend in MAY! YAY! WE ARE SO EXCITED! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU & ALL THAT YOU DO TO ADD HAPPY POSITIVE BEAUTY & CREATIVITY TO ALL OF OUR LIVES, FOR ALL OF THE GENERATIONS TO COME TO ENJOY! HUGS! YOU ARE LOVED!”

Used the Lillian Paper Crafting Collection and the coveted ice blue and pink metallic card stock in the swag bag from one of the virtual Creates.”

  • Creative projects, this community is awesome. Looking forward to Crop at Home3

  • ❤️❤️❤️ I agree with Lu, please bring back the flowers she has on her Basket Easel Card, also the paper. The flowers and the paper is just gorgeous. I have a few of the flowers (and they were nice big size) and a couple sheets of the paper and I can’t use them……just too gorgeous to use. So please, please, please bring them back. The purses are beautiful….love them. I am planning on doing a black and leopard print purse only in reverse of hers, mine is going to have black as the background and leopard on top. The black screen card is pretty. I like the birthday card with the teapot, too. I love all of the projects…..thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

    • Thank you Francene. I was going to do your idea with the purses and was going back and forth, but that’s the beauty of having the Die we can make all the great ideas have.

  • Hi! The creativity and thoughtfulness expressed here is just beyond! Between this. Watching Anna on HSN last night, today’s Live AGTV and receiving my Crop at Home 3 box , I am inspired and excited for Crop at Home 3. This will be my first one!! 🥰

  • loved these as well as the live today. So happy for the baby carriage. I hope my niece will soon be having a new little one.

  • Loved today’s live event. Always so inspirational. Good show and now I am reading your blog.

  • Hi Anna! I enjoyed the show today. I was wondering if you are going to bring back the gothic 3D concentric die set. I saw them in your charm school class. They are stunning! Looking forward to Crop 3.

  • Not sure why, but all the pix were empty boxes on my cell, so missed them. Had just tiny box with pale blue ? In middle. Oh well!

  • Wow all of the projects are so beautiful and inspiring it makes me want to start doing my Mother’s card right now. Great job everyone. See in a few on AGTV.

  • Maria’s Mother’s day card and her and Jennifer’s flower cart cards are so beautiful ! The purse cards are so sweet and Thea’s card with the fan die turned out beautifully, and Anna recently used that die in an example, so I think I gave to track that down to get. Such beautiful inspiration today and such talent. Thanks for sharing everyone, and enjoy AGTV in a few minutes, yay!

  • Such beautiful creativity. I’m inspired. Cant wait to get started on some new projects.

  • Wow! What beautiful cards today that inspire me to get moving. I am anxiously awaiting the AGTV show. I am happy that it is recorded as I have to take my fur baby, Zoey to her grooming appointment. Both are at the same time. Happy Crafting.

  • What great memories for Jennifer and a great letter. Yes, Lu is asking to bring back some flowers. Yes they are very pretty and settled. Bring back, please. Can’t wait to purchase the purse die. Thought I already had it.
