Hi crafters,
Happy Craftspiration day to you! We love seeing how much you all are having fun with the Flower Cart Finishing School Craft Box! From gorgeous cards to holiday carts and even scrapbook pages, there is no limit to what you can create with it. If you are looking for new ways to use our products, then look no further than our talented community of crafters. From valentines to extra special birthday cards, we have it all to show you today!
Come be inspired!

Martha said, “I am having so much fun playing with Annalise.”

Gail wrote, “Made for a dear friend.”

Great work, Gail!

Susan posted, “I added a Mini Valentine Sticker Cupid and Flower Vine Diecuts to this Be Mine Easel card.”

Lillian shared, “Here are a few Valentines I plan to send out to family and friends.”

Arlene said, “Finishing up Valentines Day card and decided to make a twisted easel card using the papers in the Heirloom Finishing School.”

Diana shared, “Love the pulley card kit..love/hate relationship making them.”

The effort was worth it! These are stunning, Diana!

Terry posted, “Sending Birthday Wishes made with a few of my favorite dies. From the bottom, the layers are cut from the Romantic Frame, Baroque Frame & Fancy French Frame 2 dies. Paper is from the Teacup collection.”

Thea said, “I needed a blue Valentine Card in my life! I love all the blue accents that were available for this card.”

Barb showed this pretty card.

Jennifer said, “Enjoyed this kit!”

Eve shared, “Mixing a lot of old with the new Enchanted heart dies.”

Love these valentines!

Tina said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

Jane shared, “Very little time to craft. But Valentine ‘s are so fun to create. Beautiful papers and embellishments from Anna.”

Tracy wrote, “I used the 3D Enchanted Dies to make this hanging Valentine shaker. Anna’s dies, cardstock and embellishments are so beautiful that I’ve started incorporating them into home, as well as seasonal, decor. They just make me so happy!”

Frankie posted, “I’ve been passing by my craft room the past week hoping to get some time in there to play with the Flower Cart Craft Box and yesterday it happened. What a fun project. I used a cereal box base for this cart and covered it on both sides with the sage paper from the Perfect Palette double sided paper pack. I made a little drawer for my cart to hold ribbon and bows and used one of Anna’s Alphabet dies to hang the watering can on the left side of the cart. I’m not sure if what I used was the L or T or J but I just used the bottom portion of it and punched a hole in the handle of the watering can and it fit perfectly. The hanging flower sign is a project I had uploaded to Cricuit for another project and thought it would work great on this one. The sandwich board was created using cereal board chipboard covered in Annalise paper. I used one of the small Compendium Dies, folded it in half and added a piece of the trim that’s on the top of the cart to serve as a handle. I don’t know how to add multiple photos to a post in Community so will add the in comments.”

Debra wrote, “I know Ms Anna previewed her Hat Box set for the March 7th show so I wanted to share my thoughts. I absolutely love them! They are pretty, easy to put together and perfect for all my sentiments and extra/leftover flowers. You can’t tell in the picture, but I labeled each of the sentiment cubbies and ended up using the two smaller ones in the set. It has made it so much easier to find what I am looking for. She is so generous with the embellishments in her kits, that I needed an organized spot to put them. There is so much space! I went so far as to use the narrow.”

Leticia said, “My Husband is such a Loving & caring man…I’m so very blessed by him! Here’s the Valentine Card I made for My Mr. Bill.”

Sheri wrote, “My neighbors are becoming Grandparents for the first time so I made them a card for their celebration.”

You have made such a sweet card, Sheri.

Maripi said, “I finally was able to create something with the flower cart. Trying to make this 3D was a bit of a challenge. I wanted to remove the extra wheel and leg from the cart. Keeping the left most leg and the right most wheel didn’t let the cart be level since the bottom of the leg is higher than the bottom of the wheel. I ended up cutting off the wheels from the cart and then added the standalone wheel die cuts back rotated 90 degrees. The wheels are slightly oval and I needed the narrower part to be the top and bottom to make the cart level. I used a scallop punch for the edge of the awning and masked every other scallop section and colored the section blue.”

This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Dayle said, “I used the Rose concentric dies with enchanted hearts dies for this easel card. All Anna papers, card topper, With love bouquet stickers and the for you saying is from the gift tag dies. I love the script on this die.”

This card has a great combination of dies!

Cindi K. wrote, “I wanted to send this along since Tuesdays blog taught us how to work with the Diorama card. This is my Valentine’s day version, which wasn’t as good composition-wise as what we made in Create, but I’ll get there😂 It’s a great and versatile die set and I’m so happy I have it.”

Diane posted, “Our great nephew is celebrating his first Valentine’s Day. Thought he would enjoy a truck!”

What a great idea!

Linda shared, “Here’s another one, using Vignette papers…”

  • Wow, just wow…all beautiful cards and so many creative talented “Anna makers.”
    Well done everyone! Great inspiration, thank you

  • In 1962 I was out of school for 3 months with a serious illness. My first grade teacher brought my school work to me every Monday and picked it up on Friday. Knowing how depressed I was getting, she would cheer me up with little cards and games. For Valentine’s Day she gave me a 3 dimensional card (reminiscent of the antique cards Anna collects). I have saved that card all these years, and it became my inspiration for crafting my own cards. Todays craftspiration posting has brought back a flood of memories. Thank you to Anna, all the wonderful crafters and my first grade teacher, Miss Rhea Fahl.

  • I love all of today’s inspiration, especially Terry’s birthday card. The hint of the gold shadow layers bring everything else to life. Keep it coming, talented crafters!! 👏 😊 ❤️

  • Love the twisted easel card, who knew this existed?! I didn’t but now I’m obsessed with it. The Flower cart cards are so beautiful everytime they are shown and the Valentines are so pretty. Thanks for sharing!

  • I am always blown away by the creativity of all the contributors. The 3D flower carts are really incredible! Thank you all for sharing your unique creations.

  • Definitely Beautiful in the Making!! Thank you all for sharing your amazing inspiration and talent.

  • Everything on today’s blog was just like eye candy… perfect for Valentine’s Day 💕♥️💝

  • My son died on Feb. 13, so Valentines Day has never been a favorite holiday for me. But seeing all the beauty and love put in these cards makes me think it’s time to move on and celebrate his life instead of seeing it in negative way. Thank you to all the crafters who share on this site and esp. Anna for what she brings to us all.

    • Cindy, So sorry for your loss. St Valentine’s day is all about hearts, so you are right…time to celebrate your heart’s fullness of love for your son. Sending healing and heartfelt thoughts.

  • I was surprised to see my flower cart in the group! I love that die! I’m making all my birthday cards this year with that die.

  • Amazing job EVERYONE. How thoughtful to make a card for the Grandparents. Great inspiration for next year’s Valentine’s. Scrapbook pages have me anticipating Create Crop@Home 3 even more.

    Loving the Flower Cart creations. Such a versatile die set.

    And yet again the Griffinites show us how well all of Anna’s dies mix and match. The timeless look and feel of everything Anna. Always is style, but never trendy. Always classic but never out of date. Elegant paper crafting for sure!!

    Happy Crafting!!

  • Great crafters out there! Loved the innovative use of dies to express each artists Personalities. Love and hugs to all. Stay warm and safe and remember those less fortunate.

  • All the cards are beautiful. There are some very talented ladies in this group. I enjoy looking at all these creations♥️

  • So impressed with all these talented “artists”. I’m in love with Maripi’s beautiful flower cart. Thank you Anna 😊 for sharing ❤️

  • Wow one gorgeous card after another and inspiring. Now I want to make a few more cards. TFS

  • Beautiful, beautiful cards! I am so intimidated by the talent shown each week. Someday I’ll get my nerve up and send something in…but, not yet.😉

    • Joan, just take the plunge and post your work. I felt the same way, still do, but seeing it on the board lets me see how I could’ve made it better, or, that it’s kinda good. Go for it!

  • You can tell that a lot of love and care went in to making these. Thank you all for sharing your amazing talent.

  • Wow! What amazing crafts you have created, I have been so inspired to make more time for myself to work in the craft room.

  • All too beautiful! Just finished my Valentine’s. Wished I had seen these before. There is next year, though.
    Now, on to Easter. Hoping Anna has come up with something new.

  • Thank you all for your amazing projects. Theses are awesome. Can’t imagine the time you spent on these little works of art.
