Hi friends,

Today, we are rounding out the Valentine’s Day projects that were shared across our social media channels. There were lots of pretty cards, scrapbook pages and paper projects shared this week by Griffinites near and far. You will see hearts and flowers galore, along with pulley cards, incredible easel cards and more. Buckle up buttercup, you are in for a wonderful treat!

Grab yourself a box of Valentine’s Day chocolate and come check out this week’s beautiful works of art!

Michele said, “Made this one earlier this week so I could mail it to my mom.”

Shellie posted, “Pulley~my~heart, ‘Be Mine, Valentine!’ Newer Rose Concentric and newest Enchanted 3D Concentric-Hearts are match-made for original Grace Collection cardstock and stickers, with all its lovely pink-and-yellow cheerfulness! The topper is Vintage Valentine, and there’s even some new Antique Matte Foil! Happy Valentine’s Day, creative friends!”

Tracy wrote, “I wanted to make something special for Valentine’s Day, so with the Neoclassical and Enchanted 3D Dies, I was able to make these boxes for gifting treats. I just cannot get enough of these beautiful dies!”

These are certainly special packages!

Nicole shared, “Created for my friend Monica. We celebrated our birthdays yesterday at Cheesecake Factory! She loved the card, journal & chocolates I blessed her with. I love celebrating others!”

Vickie posted, “Wedding card! Hey Anna, could you make a beautiful set of elegant wedding sentiments and related embellishments? We need more, please!”

Adding to our requests, Vickie!

Jane shared, “My favorite the flower cart market place.”

Wow, this is so lovely!

Jenny posted, “I made this valentine for my 4 yr old granddaughter Shea!”

Thea wrote, “I’m willing for spring to come soon with my card! I made this bright yellow Easel card with the Flower Cart Craft Box and Birdhouse Easel die set. I love mixing sets together. The yellow paper is from Lucky For All paper Crafting kit.”

Diane shared, “I have started on Easter cards.”

Terry said, “A very sweet senior is getting this card from her favorite furry gentleman, Shakespeare- her sweet companion! Ahhh, the Labors of Love!”

What a cutie!

Ellen shared her pretty diorama card.

Jenna wrote, “I finally joined AG Membership and I am enjoying all the creativity that Anna shares with her members. I had access to Finishing School via the specialty card kits but I had no idea how much information was available on Charm School and most recently AGTV. Here’s some Valentine’s Day cards that I gleaned from several classes. Thank you Anna!”

We are so glad that you are enjoying it!

Rochelle posted, “I really liked Anna’s new Rocking Valentines cards kit but didn’t make my mind up fast enough to buy them. Here are some cards I made with the rocking dies I had from Create 7.”

Maureen posted, “Sorry, I’m out of practice with posting photos!”

Diane said, “Wishing everyone a day full of love, life and laughter! I hope everyone can enjoy the day!”

Eve posted, “Received my new Cardcentric compendium dies yesterday. What fortuitous timing, I was working on a new scrapbook layout. These dies are yummy perfection for scrapbook frames.”

Kaye shared, “I love Anna’s card toppers! This is an A2 card made up of a Charming Collage Topper over two colors of vellum and Charlotte paper.”

Carol wrote, “A valentine to my husband of 51 years. Used the diorama box card dies from Create 8.”

Frankie posted, ““Pucker Up Buttercup”. Can’t you just hear Anna saying this!😂. While cleaning up my craft room yesterday, I came across my flower cart prototype and didn’t want to just through it away and as I was taking it apart it started looking like a booth to me so I stopped cleaning and started working on a quick kissing booth card. I used the flower cart supplies. I just scaled things down for the booth size. The card is A2 size but with the balloons it probably would have to go in a bigger envelope for mailing.”

Too cute!

Sharon said, “This is my first time using the Flower Cart kit. My husband and I are planning our first trip to Paris later this year so this is the card I made him for his birthday.”

Thank you all for sharing your amazing projects with us this week. We hope that you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day, and look forward to seeing what you make for St. Patrick’s Day and Easter! Post your projects for your chance to be featured! Join us on AGTV Tuesday for our amazing Finishing School Live with the Flower Cart Finishing School Craft Box.
Bye for now,
Anna

  • NOTHING says “I think you’re ever-so special” better than an Anna Griffin card!

    Thanks for the inspiration and creative ideas Miss Anna!

  • Hi Anna and team, these Valentines cards are awesome. Thank you for all your creative ideas
    💜🤡❤️

  • OMG these beauties are out of this world. Love all your Valentine’s and thanks for sharing them with us Anna.

  • So much talent with all the Anna Griffin special people, Wishing everyone the very best
    for the coming year. Oh my what will Anna tempt all of us with. Hang on credit card
    you will get a work out.

  • I just have to say Thank you, Anna, for giving us the means to make such stunningly beautiful cards and projects. These cards are awesome.

  • These are some very beautiful cards. Anna Griffin has the most elegant dies. They make a card look just so classy. Hallmark has nothing in these cards.

  • These magnificent creations take my breath away! Can’t wait to try some of these unique methods. Once again, Anna, you are continuing to WOW me! Thank you!

  • Hello All. Fabulous projects! I’m so looking forward to being able to buy the flower cart box which is on QVC UK next week and seeing all your beautiful products Anna. great to see more of your things over the pond.
    Stay safe everyone.
    Anita

  • All of these cards are beautiful. I love Sharon’s Flower Cart. Can’t to get started on mine.

  • Inspired by Tracy’s gift box! Jenny’s jeweled carousel was perfect. Loved Frankie’s kissing booth. You all are so creative! How about that birdhouse! All the Valentine’s were sweet. Keep on creating!

  • Such amazing cards thank you for sharing. Eve, I do not have the Cardcentric Compendium dies yet, but that is just what I thought of when I first saw them. Beautiful pages.

  • Incredible beauties!! Craftspration Thursday NEVER ceases to amaze me.

    But I must ask Nicole what oval die did you use to cut out the center of the Festival Die? Was it from another die set of Anna’s or a set of Concentric dies from another company?

    Eve, I also thought the new Cardcentric Dies will work great in scrapbooks. Thank you for showing you beautiful pages.

    But seriously EVERYONE you have inspired me and brought so much beauty into my inbox. So THANK YOU ALL!!

    Thursdays are my FAVORITE!!!

    Happy Crafting!

  • Beautiful cards, thanks everyone for sharing.

    ANNA, I have your stamps with family names, but I wish you could make dies with them; MOTHER,FATHER,SON,
    DAUGHTER,BROTHER,SISTER,AUNT UNCLE, GRAND (to put with the mother= Grandmother,etc) the same size as the “Friend” and “Family” from Crop at home 1. These would be a beautiful addition to so many scrapbook pages. PLEASE…CONSIDER THIS REQUEST…
    it would be so much easier and more elegant than using your individual die cut letters.

  • Thank you everyone for the beautiful cards. Great inspiration!! Thanks to Anna
    For making this possible for all of us.

  • I love all the inspiration on Thursdays. So many wonderful projects by all the talent people!❤️❤️❤️

  • So clever, so beautiful, so fun and all made with love in their hearts. What an amazing community! Thank you for sharing.

  • I just got my Easter Basket Die set for my Birthday and I am so excited to start cutting. Gathering my papers now …. Sooo many decisions…. AND these don’t need to just be for Easter…. I can see get well, Mothers Day, congrats, wedding, showers, thinking of you, sympathy, a just because it cheer someone up AND maybe a fishing theme for my hubby fisherman!!!

  • Absolutely stunning! I’m stuck in bed with tendinitis so these posts are definitely keeping me entertained. Beautiful work! Next year for me.

  • I love Vicki’s Wedding Day card. What die is used in the background. Is it available?

  • Just WOW! This may be the best Craftspiration yet. Every single week I am in awe and inspired by the sheer talent everyone has. What’s really special, is that Anna’s products are designed in such a way that it enables us to really believe we can achieve such beauty. Then when we attempt it, our efforts are truly rewarded. Love CRAFTSPIRATION. Thanks for sharing everyone 🙂

  • WOW!! You have the most talented crafters, Anna. I love Tracy’s gift boxes – so creative. Jane’s flower cart is an explosion of love. I hope Thea’s cheerful bird house wills spring VERY SOON, lol! The lacy effect of Maureen’s Valentine is beautiful and Frankie’s kissing booth is both precious and ingenious. All the projects are absolutely beautiful and thank you all for sharing!

  • Vickie’s frame card would be ideal for my Christmas photo cards. I do a photo of my daughters Family and frame it. But that frame would be ideal, Nice and fancy. Does it have a shadow die cut to go with it? You could make a permanent frame and be able to change the photo.

  • Great cards everyone ❤️. I especially loved the carousel and bright sunny bird house. It’s wonderful to see how versatile Anna’s dies can be. I have to start thinking out of the box.

  • I am drooling over ALLLL the stunningly beautiful cards and pages. Thanks for sharing Anna. LOVE LOVE LOVE
