Craftspiration – April 28th, 2022
Hello friends,
Are you looking for inspiration for your cards and scrapbook pages? If so, then you are in the right place! We have beautiful projects to share with you from many of your wonderful fellow crafters. Griffinites are crafting for birthdays, thinking of you and we are starting to see Mother’s Day cards.
It’s time to grab a cup of tea or coffee and scroll all of the wonderful projects shared this week!
Lu shared, “A birthday card for a friend. Love the Heirloom Lace!”








Peggy said, “I used what flowers I had in stock and Anna’s inspiration from her most recent blog to create two cards. On one of them I didn’t have the same die cut with a trellis but I used one from the Album Die Cut set. The second one I borrowed her idea using the Gentleman Study die cut.”

Dayle wrote, “I loved the Mother’s Day card Anna made on finishing school. I tried to use some of the elements from that class on this card. First time I have used chip board through the empress. So pleased how it cut so easily. Fun doing all the layers. Hard to tell in the picture how thick it is.”
Such a happy card and photo!

Barbie posted, “Shhhh! Don’t tell hubby but this is his anniversary card! I hope it’s not to girly for him- which is why I normally don’t make him cards. I love these 3D bow dies too! More pics in comments too. Edited: I forgot to say I am making this 6 months early as I always forget to buy/make him a card. LOL!!”
Happy Anniversary to you two, and many happy years to come!

Adina said, “Why blend in when you were born to stand out? It was nearly impossible to get a good photo of this. I heat embossed the center Peacock with clear embossing powder. It looks like glass and reflects the light back into the camera.”
Your photo and card are absolutely stunning!

Debbie wrote, “I just finished a card family that can be used for birthdays or any other special day. I decided to add feathers to the Daughter card since birds are feathering their nests now that it’s Spring.”
These are lovely, personalized cards! Thanks for sharing with us.

Beth shared, “My Sister-in-Law will be turning 80 in May so for this special milestone I made her a Concertina birthday photo / folio. I combined the Concertina dies with the Fancy French Frame dies, the photo card dies and the cake easel dies. The papers from the Heirloom Lace paper crafting kit were the perfect backdrop. The front of the card features a dimensional cake in which I stacked each tier multiple times to achieve a 3D effect.”
What a special gift! She will treasure this, Beth.

Robin said, “As soon as I saw the papers for the Heritage Collection last year, I knew they would be perfect for an anniversary card I wanted to create to commemorate my sister and brother-in-law’s 40th Anniversary happening in June.”

Sharon posted, “I used the card kit and the dies to make this card for my daughter.”

Lourdes wrote, “Two get well cards for two sick friends. I wanted to brighten up their days, so I used Anna’s Tea Party dies, the 3D Victorian Concentric dies, and embossed the shadow layer with the beautiful Hearts and Flowers embossing folders. I’m hoping they’ll both feel better soon!”
We know that these cheerful cards will brighten your friends’ day!


Beautiful cards.
Love, love everything! Especially Debbie’s personalized cards and of course Beth Turchi’s brilliant creations. I’ve been out of the loop for a while and have really enjoyed catching up on these beautiful creations
All very beautiful!!
As always, Beth knocked it out of the park this week with her SIL Bday card!! Love all thel layers and the special touches added to the cake layer!! Great work Beth!
Anna I love all of your designs. I know you put so much time in to design all of your beautiful Finishing School projects as well as creating your fabulous die cut designs. I just purchased your Mini Die cutting machine and it arrived last week. I was so excited to begin! Your card stock, stickers, die cuts that came with my China Cabinet Finishing School as well as the Salon Nouveau Craft box Finishing school as well as your Gentleman’s Beautiful Cards and envelopes that came with two boxes of sentiment stickers! I also purchased the Heirloom Lace Paper crafting kit. The Heirloom Paper Crafting kit is so elegant I purchased the Finishing School. I first started crafting with your Mini Cricut and Cuttle Bug. I purchased your Explorer Air 2 and my life changed! There are so many possibilities to create Cards for all occasions . Your card stock and stickers are so beautiful I was terrified I would ruin the pretty beautiful double-sided cards and sentiment. So I practiced using old craft stock to begin my adventure in designing your card designs. So please consider adding me to your ” Win It Wednesday “. I would also like to thank all of your followers. They have created gorgeous cards and I also appreciate all the time and effort they put into designing they’re beautiful cards. Your Anna Griffin followers inspired me to dive right on in as they provided ideas on my first attempt to create special cards for the people in my life. All the cards they send you on Friday Card Day are absolutely
I love seeing new products! Sure wish I could win goodies from Anna..
Great projects everyone!
The heirloom lace is JUST EVERYTHING.
I have the concertina dies- how do you make a booklet out of them?

Oh I just love craftspiration day, lol 😊. Everything is just so so beautiful. I am always stunned by the number of ways people use your dies. I’ve got so many ideas in my head for future projects, I should be busy for about three years already 🙃. Thank you for the way you pay attention to your fans and friends Anna. You are Da 💣 Bomb 😊🌻😊🌻

Thank you.
All so lovely!! Thank you for sharing your ideas, creativity and cards. Blessings to all.
They are all very beautiful and creative. Thanks for sharing.
Great cards, all of ’em.
These cards are all so beautiful! Anna and team – the next time you are thinking about sentiments, please think about creating sentiments that come “from all of us”, or “from both of us”, etc. I have accidentally become our office birthday card maker and it would be wonderful to be able to put a sentiment that says “from all of us.”
Awesome Crafters, I love every card!!!!
They are all so beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration.
Great cards! I especially like the “With Sympathy” and “Happy Anniversary” ones best.
Love the birthday card the most but they are all beautiful
Such beautiful work! It’s inspirational!
All beautiful. Thank you so much for posting.
Amazing talent folks.
Thank you Anna
I love every card posted here! They are all so inspiring and make me want to do nothing but craft craft craft! Lol!
I guess that will have to be put off till tomorrow seeing my grass and yard work beckon me but, tomorrow is a coming. As for today I’ll be mowing with visions of die cutting dancing in my head! Lol
Thank you, so happy to find you Anna!

Amazing talented people and beautiful pages and cards.
WOW!!! I don’t have any idea which one I love the most!! My best to all who have wonderful imaginations!
Such super talent in this group! Just gorgeous, one and all.
Wow! So gorgeous. I can’t wait to be healthy enough to craft again. I’m still eager for the cards to Fall in place to be able to make a scrapbook page. If crop at home showed up on my door step I wouldn’t be upset. Lol. Can’t wait to see what this year’s Christmas stuff will look like. I’m dying for Christmas mini sentiment stickers. All holidays really. Mothers day. Father’s day. Sympathy. Easter. Halloween. Christmas. All of them!
Well done everyone!! So much beauty and inspiration!!!

All are so unique and beautiful in their various creations. Thanks for sharing all your lovely ideas.
Stunning works!
Anna, I’m, unfortunately, disappointed😞 I ordered the bow dies back in March and the order was never fulfilled. I would truly appreciate if someone can find some inventory and get me a set, I was so looking forward to making with them. Thank you!
Wow, what a variety of gorgeous cards and inspiration!
I am in awe of the beautiful cards!!
Sandi – I love how you can see the details in each layer.
Beth – what an amazing 80th birthday card. That is truly special.
Shellie – the scrapbook page is amazing. I think your album will be the envy of all scrappers. Beautiful.
