Hello Griffinites,

You’ve been crafting up a storm this week, and we are happy to see all of these gorgeous projects this week. It’s fun to see you working with the new Wishing Well Finishing School Craft Box Kit and your interpretations from some of our tutorials! We are crafting for all season’s around here and it’s fun to see Halloween, Christmas and everyday projects all represented here.

Come take a look at what was created this week!

Sheri said, “Just watched the Wishing Well Finishing School Craft Box Class, Gosh 6 projects Wow!!! Beautiful!!! I want to make ever project. This is my own version but I’m going to definitely need a refill Paper Pack and Embellishments. I want to use so many of the beautiful flowers on each card. The flowers are a perfect size. Thank you for creating such beautiful products.”

Gorgeous card! We love how you used the floral as a shadow layer!

Diane posted, “This is the EXTRA FUN new Perfect Present Easel Die that Anna introduced in an AGTV presentation.  I chose two different pastel blues in 5-1/2”x 12” Metallic Layers paper for the present, a sheet from the Floral Double-sided card stock for the easel and a 5×7”gold Matte Foil for the present lid and adhesive squares for a 3D look.   Flower embellishments are from the China Cabinet Finishing School Craft Box.”

  • Everything you make is so amazing! I fill trick or treat bags with tootsie roll lollipops (so I can enjoy the leftovers).

  • What wonderful CRAFTSPIRATION! Oh, keep it coming, so I can get back to crafting. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

  • Daylight! You know I am going to love on your birdhouse cards. I will be stealing your idea FOR SURE! Thanks to everyone for sharing.

  • I really love the 90th birthday card. For some reason, Mickey’s card collection is not showing up.

  • Hey Anna, can we get a set of embellishments that are small animals from the woods such as deer, racoons, foxes, squirrels, rabbits, porcupine, skunks, opossums, etc. These would be great additions to put on the Wishing Well cards and probably some other fall or even spring type cards for sure. Thanks for all you do.

  • I love Raeanne’s buggy and all the car cards. And of course with Halloween being my favorite holiday for card making, I do love the Halloween cards.

  • My favorite season is fall, just finished watching the pre recorded AGTV “Fun Fall” show….after typing this I am going to watch it again…..so many wonderful ideas, fabulous fall papers and beautiful dies, my head is buzzing with new projects…I also want to compliment the crafters who sent in these lovely examples of cards, what a variety. I’ve noticed something different in this week photo’s, wondering if you have changed the way you are uploading the photo’s, maybe you added pixels or enhanced the pictures? I don’t know what it is but I hope it continues….I can easily see all the details, the colors came through beautifully and the clarity is exceptional……whoever was responsible for posting the photo’s did a terrific job! Well done!

  • AWESOME craftspiration!🤩👏🏽👏🏽

    #WEAREANNAGRIFFIN 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

  • Thank you for posting projects on the Blog from different social media sites, I’m not on Facebook so I like seeing what Anna Griffin Crafters are creating. I get so many fantastic ideas from Anna’s Blog. Thank you for adding my card to today’s CRAFTSPIRATION it makes me feel like I’m fancy.

  • ALL the cards are just wonderful! I can not wait for the HSN. Shows! I need the Coffen Dies!!!!! I had it in my cart and it disappeared!!!!! I hope you have it on the HSN. Show.

  • These posts ALWAYS inspire me and some remind ME “ hey I have that” get it out and USE IT!!!
    That witchy kit was awesome and I just used the last of it from when I purchased it a couple of years ago….. Anna is sooo generous with the many goodies in her kits! * that’s why hers are the best! 🕷️🕸️🦇🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧙🏻‍♂️🦹🏼👾💀👻🤡👺☠️👹👿⛈️

  • All of these are beautiful, fun, creative, inspiring, thoughtful! Love the sharing, thank you so much!

  • I love my wishing well card dies. I made one the day the box arrived and can’t wait to make more. So pretty, so classy. Love them.

  • Such beautiful projects I love to see the projects and creation from everyone. Have a great day everyone and see you tomorrow on Fan Friday.

  • The cards are lovely. I just got out my Halloween dies and loved seeing the shared ideas.
    I also just received my Finishing School Wishing Well Craft box and was so impressed with the card that was created from the set.
    All the cards are impressive. Thanks to everyone who shared their wonderful creations.

  • Amazing cards from everyone today! Thanks for sharing my witchy slimline card. I am in love with Fifi’s holiday wishing well card.

  • I love all of the cards but especially Reanne, Fifi and Arlene’s creations. Alll are beautiful and special.

  • SOOO much beauty in today’s Craftspiration. I just love everyone’s creativity and how products are used across different Holidays and occasions. I haven’t tried the Wishing Well yet, and have still not been able to access that code for the projects, but I really am curious about the 6 projects. And once again, I’m drawn to Fifi’s creation, so pretty. Thanks for inspiring us everyone!

  • I love everyone’s take on the cards. So beautiful. I was intrigued by the birdhouse cards and use of papers. Thank you, as always, for sharing these lovely creations.❤️

  • Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite times of the year. Children trick or treating and families gathering to celebrate the Christmas season. The seasonal cards to me are as much of the celebration as handing out candy and exchanging gifts. In my opinion Anna Griffin products are the best on the market. The quality of the materials and the talent of the card maker are shown in each card.

  • Even though I love Halloween 👻, that wishing well sure is cute! Thanks for sharing these fabulous makes 😍.

  • Hello Anna & Greetings to all the Griffinites
    My friend said, “my purple Mailbox card was the best one yet!” That is high praise thanks to you Anna! Today, I really enjoyed seeing all the interpretations of the Wishing Well and any cool car or truck xoxo
    Blessings

  • Love it all can’t pick I enjoy watching to see what fantastic things you’ve going to come up with next everthing is so beautiful

  • Of course, all of the Halloween cards are the best in my opinion. I love anything to do with Halloween. My favorite thing that you have Anna is the paper doll witches oh my goodness they are so adorable.

  • Halloween cards are so much fun to make! I love the slimline using the fireplace and mantel dies…so creative! And the black and purple pram…I love that we can make cards so special and personal with just a little imagination.

  • Congratulations to all that had a card on display today. Such a wonderful variety. I saw a card from the Christmas Wishes box made like I had been thinking of doing. Now I know it will really look good. I could mention all the cards but each is wonderful in it’s own unique way. Some use dies I don’t have and a few like the vehicles I am looking forward to trying and pray I have the patience to paper piece them to look as good as yours. Thank you for sharing your inspirations.

  • Love to see the creativity of all the Griffinites! So many beautiful cards-your imagination takes you anywhere and everywhere. Keep creating fans of Anna!

  • WOW! Everything is lovely. The Wishing Wells really came out beautifully! I can’t wait to open mine. Very inspiring. Thank you for posting. 🙂

  • So nice. Wish I had an empress to do those things. But I love the cards. Will keep the ideas. Thank you

  • Happy Thankful Thursday! What an extremely artistic group today – so creative. Love the little doxie in Donna’s card – reminds me of our little guy we had. Each and every project is beautiful and full of inspiration. Thank you for sharing! As always, sending blessings for a wonderful day ahead. 😊 ❤️

  • So many gorgeous projects. I honestly could not pick a favorite. All of them have so much talent!
