Hello crafters,

We know that we can always count on  you for card making and scrapbooking inspiration. We have seen all of the gorgeous things that were made and shared this week across our social media channels and by email, and we have compiled a smattering of them in one place for you to see. From holiday cards to birthday cards and scrapbook pages, we have a little bit of everything to share with you today. Be sure to post your beautiful projects with us on Facebook or email us at RSVP@annagriffin.com to be featured.

Come take a look at today’s wonderful Craftspiration!

Laura wrote, “First to Anna Griffin Inc., I want to say thank you for my Christmas Wishes Box Kit that I received early last week. It is absolutely lovely and full of elegance! I purchased mine before your shows because I did not want to miss out this year! For me the Christmas Wishes Box was fully equipped with items for great ideas!”

Diane shared, “Here’s my Sunday share. These are Anna’s Christmas Door dies that are so very welcoming with their green foliage, garlands, accessories & wreaths. On one card, I used the brick embossing folder that came with the dies, for the background. All three cards are mounted on her Shimmer Blush Cards.”

Donna said, “I made this card for my cousin who is having a baby boy soon. I used the Canton Bleu papers and Anna’s Carriage Die set! I love the colors in this paper set!”

Valerie posted, “First time using the Nativity Easel dies I purchased last year. Layered 5 pieces of paper and distressed them to look like wood. AG Inc stamps and vellum added that soft touch for a special friend and her talented woodworking husband.”

Shellie shared, “Awaiting my newest Christmas Wishes and more from recent HSN-Craftsmas Shows AND Christmas-in-July SALE from Anna Griffin Inc., today’s Sunday Share is something I enjoy most with Anna’s cutting dies, cardstock, and embellishments–creating a card using older things with newer things. Who can feel blue when remembered with a Window Frame-Canton Bleu birthday card for one’s special day? My aunt ‘across the miles’ will enjoy her very own Anna-card.”

Celia said, “This pink truck is ready to deliver some beautiful flowers, gifts, and many hugs!”

Dayle shared, “I have been working with the lovely ladies Eleanor and Blythe with the 3D Neoclassical Concentric Frame Dies this week for thinking of you cards.  Lots of layers, embossing and some fussy cutting.  Hard to tell in the pictures but glitter was also adorning the flowers.  And added a few pearls and extra flowers.  The card toppers are so perfect for the sentiments.”

It’s hard to believe that we are already making our way through August! We hope that you plan to join us on August 16th and 30th for our next AGTV shows and on August 22nd for our Falloween shows on HSN (9am, 12pm, 6pm and 10pm). We have a lot more crafting to do before the year is out, and we want you to join us for each and every crafting occasion along the way. Tickets are still on sale for our Create 9 event, and we are having a Flash Sale on it now through August 7th!

Bye for now,

Anna

  • Such beautiful cards. I really love the Christmas Door Dies & the card made with them.

  • These cards are all so beautiful and creative! Valerie’s “woody” Nativity easel card is very clever; Kathy’s folding screen is spectacular; and, of course, JoAnn’s easel cards never disappoint! Good work, everyone! Happy Birthday, Miss Anna!

  • August 5th 🎼🎶🎂🎉 Good Morning Anna!! Happy Birthday to a beautiful friend! Sent you a birthday card but didn’t see it on Friday. Hope you got it. You get hundreds. Enjoy your special day just for you! ♥️

  • My husband and I were the recipients of Valerie’s nativity easel card. It is amazing and will have a permanent place of display in our home. My woodworking husband was fascinated with the layers, mechanics, and the look of antiqued and decorative wood. Valerie, thank you dear friend for your visit today and this beautiful gift from your creative heart!!!🌸💕🌸

  • Celia’s pink truck and Kathy’s fold out screen card are fantastic, as are all of the cards; thanks to everyone for sharing.

  • Richard! Good to see you crafting! Bleu, bleu, bleu…we love yeu! All the blue cards were lovely. Every project showed love & artistry. Thanks for sharing.

  • Wowza! Stunning cards and pages.
    So many ideas running through my head. I must try to use what I forgot I owned and mix the old with new. So much stash tucked away; these inspired me. Thank you.

  • Wow! Gorgeous projects this week — especially love JoAnn Sinclair’s easel card — beautiful composition and color combination!

  • OMGosh! one after the other is simply beautiful! Thank you everyone for sharing!

  • Holy Moly, all of those cards are amazing!!! I am so looking forward to Create 9……..
    see you then!!!

  • I love all the new colors and the metallic blue paper, can’t wait to get some more of that paper. All these cards are inspiring and so Anna.Tfs.

  • So nice to see Richard’s elegant work! I really liked Diane’s Door dies cards. I’ve been thinking of trying them since I recently added these to my supplies and her cards are truly inspirational. I also loved Joann’s card and want to get the Romantic frame dies. What she created was gorgeous. Well, actually, everyone’s cards were, and always are, just beautiful! Great Inspiration once again so thanks everyone. And, once again, Happy Birthday Anna!

  • Now I am getting nervous. There are too too many Christmas cards! It’s August! Can’t we get through Halloween and Thanksgiving? All kidding aside, there are many holiday delights. Love the Nativity easel and the snowman on the stained glass window. Dayle your floral designs are so pretty. Richard elegant, it has a velvety vibe. Thank you all for wonderful inspiration.

  • I already purchased the Create 9 at full price, are you going to give those of us who paid full price the $50 off sale price as well?

  • AWESOME craftspiration!🤩👏🏽👏🏽 Well done everyone!💃🏻🎉

    #WEAREANNAGRIFFIN 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

  • Everything is just lovely!

    Please! What is the die set used in Cathy’s fold out card? The oriental screen and ladies?
    Is it still available??

    • I should have mentioned that the Geisha ladies dies are not Anna’s but rather by Stephanie Wrightman for Tattered Lace. I ordered them some time ago from the UK and do not know if they are still available. The screen is one of Anna’s dies though. Thank you for asking. Although the ladies look silver, they are cut from Anna’s gold cardstock.

  • `Beautiful – I especially lobed the stain glass window with the snowman. I would not have thought about using the combo like that.

  • Thank you Anna, for adding my Nativity Easel card to this beautiful space of creatively. I am blessed to be part of the Anna Griffin Inc family. All the comments I agree with and also I want everything after each product preview! 😂 Lol

  • Oh my! All of these cards are absolutely gorgeous! Making me want to go in my craft room and spend the next 3 days recreating all of them! So many extremely creative people! I feel so blessed to be a member of this group.

  • All of these projects are beautiful! I am inspired to work on improving my skills( or lack there of, lol). Please keep up the awesome card making/scrapbooking so individuals like myself can grow in our crafting abilities. Thank you!!!

  • I really really love the tram, buggy or stroller what ever it’s called!!!!! and I love the red track card. Those are just so beautiful. They were all beautiful cards though.

  • Loved the entries today! I appreciate Anna posting my 3 Christmas Door cards. Thanks for ideas of different ways to use the Gazebo Die. Very impressive was the Canton Bleu birthday card by Shellie. Valerie’s Nativity Easel Dies distressed to look like wood was gorgeous. I’m loving that die too! Every entry was extra special❣️

    • I used the Nativity Card for all my cards last year – everyone loved them & wanted to know where they could buy the embellishment on them (had to tell them they would have to make them & they almost all replied “would I make them for them).

  • Beautiful projects, as always.
    Such a sweet photo in Nora’s layout. The colors are gorgeous.
    Kathy, are those Japanese Ladies by any chance Tattered Lace dies?

    I LOVE seeing what everyone has been up to. So many wonderful color combinations and the mixing and matching of the die sets. Like Kathy’s Window Box die with the 3D card compendium dies. I just LOVE how Anna’s Team designs everything to work together. I wonder if they do it on purpose or if it is just the magic of Anna’s products.

    Happy Crafting!!!

  • These cards are stunning! Thank you so much for the inspiration. ❤️❤️❤️

  • All the cards are beautiful!!
    I especially love the screen with the Japanese ladies. Are those dies? How would find out where to purchase those?

  • Love the Eleanor and Blythe ladies. This is the first time that I have seen them. Are they still available.

  • Fabulous crafters making beautiful cards with the Anna Griffin products
    CREATE 9 will be an experience all crafts need to do!
    Thanks Anna for great products .

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁🎂🎉

  • I just love today’s Craftspiration presentation. Everyone sent in beautiful cards and scrapbooking pages. Now I will have to get busy copycatting. Happy Birthday, Anna 🎁🎂🎈
