Barbie said, “Watched AGTV today! I even crafted along with Miss Anna and made my own picture frame card for my oldest friend from Jr High!”

We’re so glad you joined us yesterday!

Roxanne posted, “I love these snow people. I’m pretty sure I recognize one as the face of W.C. Fields!”

Barbara shared, “Diorama Blue Box Card holding a Christmas tag made in Create 8.”

Sheri wrote, “Here’s my fun Woody Wagon. A couple of elf’s are helping Santa deliver the Christmas packages.”

Too cute! We love your interpretation!

Marie said, “For the past 20 years I have done a watercolor Christmas painting that I then reproduce and send to select family and friends. This year it’s the puppy and I am making a couple of the diorama cards to highlight it. I had fun with this one. Including using dollar store vase fill red balls on the Christmas tree!”

You are so talented, Marie!

Adina posted, “It all started with an old chorus song book that contained this Jingle Bells page. It isn’t in the best shape but I thought I could use it on a card. The bell theme intrigued me. I used the Bell Pop-Out Dies. I extended the width of the card by adding two more shadow layers. I framed the Jingle Bell page with the Diorama Box Die. After that, it was just embellishing.”

Christine posted, “I had hoped to send this to Anna for Fan Mail Friday, but simply ran out of time. I am so very thankful for Anna and for all of my fellow Griffinites who inspire me every day. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! (Made with Anna’s diorama box dies, paisley paper and vintage fall decoupage die cuts).”

Thank you for sharing it here! Great work!

Mary shared, “All Anna except the white, yellow and blue card stock. Star Doily is Anna’s Splendid Soirée Cricut Cartridge. I used Anna’s blue Toile for the base page. The red border die is from Crop at Home. Title, journaling die, ship and Star are Anna. I used items from Celebration Chest, Carte Canton Blue too! To create the bunting, I just drew straight red parallel lines on paper and cut out rosettes. Cut in half and tucked behind the Star doily they look so festive! Now I can share the story of my Dad and his 2 brothers and their service in WWII.”

Janice wrote, “I combined the angel die and the angel stickers to make this ornament.”

Susan said, “I have been wanting to make this for awhile and finally got around to it! I made this in honor of my mom, Jennie, whose presence is greatly missed at our Thanksgiving table (and in our lives). I layered 4 of the largest frame dies (with center fussy cut out) and 2 of the smaller dies (with center fussy cut out) and shadow layer. I made a simple tent card by connecting two of the large shadow layers together (I actually cut 4 because the toile paper was single sided and I wanted the interior of the shadow layers to present as toile also). I made the flowers from ribbon scraps and used the tiny little foliage dies from the Diorama die set to make the leaves. I don’t have the original copy of this photo, so the quality of this one is not great — hoping to replace it with a better copy! I wanted to make this frame first as a trial run to work out the details before using the final photo.”

You’ve created the perfect frame!

Sherry posted, “This set of mini Nativity scenes is so precious. I paired it with the 3D Christmas Concentric dies and a beautiful gold and white card.”

Eve said, “In support of today’s made easy tutorial. I actually made these when the dies first came out.”
