Hats off to all of you and your creative talents. Thank you for sharing your work using our products!

Susan Richardson posted this pretty square Valentine Floral Arrangement in Finishing School.

Dayle Blecke says on Facebook that she loves using Anna’s new valentines dies, cards and embellishments. Also I was able to use her pretty marbled paper.
Jane Rudolfo Shouse says Purple Valentines for 2021💜. I’m having a great time crafting many purple valentines and your foil papers make everything pop!

Diane Brennan made His and Hers Anniversary Cards. “Our daughter and her boyfriend are celebrating their first anniversary of dating on January 28th so I am sending each of them their own card. They can compare notes!”

Irene Smith-Baker made this opulent Valentine easel card for her Granddaughter.
Patricia A Lockhart – One of many Valentines she has made. This was posted on our Facebook page.

Marie Fix is Rocking in pink. “I had bought a pack of the pink foiled cardstock and really wanted to use it for Valentine’s with the rocker card base. The base was cut from the pink animal print. I have hearts on there but I kind of buried them under the flowers and bow. Oh well it will be loved anyway.”

Mary Beth Hanke – Weekend challenge: Pulley cards… Valentine version in Pink and Black!
Eve Yeung – Posting several birthday cards I have made over the past few weeks.
JoAnn Sinclair our resident easel card expert posted this lovey Valentine in our visitors posts on Facebook.
Oh so pretty! This makes us so happy to share what you have been making. Keep up the great work everyone!

  • I just bought an empress, I reviewed your Jan 19 kits for sale. I like the first auto ship kit . I also like the floral stickers and the cardstock kit. Everything is beautiful. Oh i also like the skinny card kit w/auto ship. Really I like it all.

  • These cards are so delightful . It’s wonderful that they do graciously share their ideas with us!
    Anna thank you for showcasing their cards on your Blog.

  • Thank you for posting these beautiful cards. I have the Valentine easel die and I like the different ways they were made.

  • Gorgeous cards everyone! I really need to buy a die cutting machine for all the secondary layers. Anna have you ever considered selling foil doilies for us w/out machines? Maybe emerald and ovals in gold, silver, sage and blue.

  • Beautiful cards. I would like to see a package of Happy Birthday medalians all by itself.
    I always run out of the birthday greetings as I have a large family.

  • My Valentine packages have been shipped. I am so excited to get them. My friend is 92 and still living in her home. She gets bored alone as do I. So, I get card supplies from Anna and share with my friend. She looks forward to the days I go to her home. We forget about our aches and pains and we laugh and laugh while doing cards. The first time I sent her an Anna Griffin card she showed everyone she could. She thinks I am a genius. I recall she had said it was hard to find cards for men so I bought the handsome set and added more toppers and things. She is hooked. We have done others but now wait for “Red Roses”. BTW Two of her children were high school students of mine. Thanks, Anna.

    • Marilyn–that is so sweet and such a lovely idea. Enjoy crafting with your friend! God bless you both.

  • Speechless! Utterly breathtaking! I don’t know how I would have survived 2020 without this amazing community of artistic people and Anna’s Finishing School💜💜💜

  • Everything is so lovely, and I’m sure the recipients will be so appreciative of the time spent making the cards especially for them.

  • As always, I get so many ideas for design and lay out from these beautiful cards. Looking forward to learning more at the live Finishing School session on Friday!!

    Is a beautiful card!
    Thank you for sharing it.
    Need to get busy with Valentines !!

  • I’m loving the Valentines made with purple. I don’t know why but it really makes a lovely card when mixed with some other colors. I wonder if tastes change as you get older? All the cards shown are beautiful. I was just drawn to the Valentine.

  • We seemed to have really turned a page where our cards are so ornate and so layered, they are just such works of art. I love seeing all this beautiful artwork. I am in awe.

  • All the cards are simply beautiful, but the wedding card is absolutely incredible! That is a lot of work. time and love. I also love the idea of purple valentines. What talent everyone has. I wish I could come close. Maybe in another 10 years I can get half as good. Thanks for sharing.

  • Love them all!!! So much talent in one place……..
    Anna you just have to make the rocker card base die available for all of us who couldn’t afford create ……please, pretty please??

  • Good morning everyone,
    Beautiful, beautiful cards made
    by all!!! Especially loved all of
    the lavender/purple projects.
    Lavender and shades of blue
    are so pretty together, I think.
    Inspired to make some of my
    own. Thank you for sharing🙂
