Hello friends,

Happy Thursday to you! We want to start by saying a big thank you to all of you who joined us for our 13th “Anna”versary shows earlier this week. We are so thankful and honored at how you show up for us, and hope that you enjoy the beautiful new crafting items! We are looking forward to all of the new paper projects that you will create, and we hope that you will share what you are creating with them. It’s so much fun to see all of your gorgeous valentines, birthday cards and more.

Let’s take a look at some of the things that were made and shared this week!

Liz said, “A Valentine’s Day box for my sweetie! Using the Enchanted dies that I received yesterday.”

Valerie wrote, “I received a lovely housewarming card from my friend Dianne who lives in Central Illinois as I do 💌 As you can see it matches my poster I framed from a 2015 tea 🍵 festival I attended in Seattle WA. She was my first visitor!”
Arlene posted, “Still loving the Diorama die, so started making Valentine’s Day cards with it!”
Pam said, “Inside of boxes and cards in them.”
Maria said, “Having fun with the shutter card set “With Love”.”
Charlotte shared, “Working on birthday cards for February.”
Eve posted, “Throwback to some classic Anna style cards — pulled out my Lace Trimmings embossing folders.”
Terry shared, “Pretty in Pink Valentine’s Day greetings! The color pink is thought to be a calming color associated with love, kindness, and all things girly. No wonder it is my favorite color! From the bottom, the layers are cut from the With Love Layer, Doily, Lovely Hearts Cut & Emboss & the Valentine Doily dies.”
Thea wrote, “I love how versatile the dies and papers can be. I was so excited to create a wedding card with the bells.”

Lilia posted, “A little detail to give and show the importance of the beautiful moments that we share with our extended family that stay with us forever.”

Shirli shared her Flower Cart card!

Sherry said, “Carte Noire papers and ephemera are the perfect ingredients for a Valentine Card.”

Joyce wrote, “Happy with these two also. I will probably give these to two of my little great granddaughters.”

Kaye said, “Yesterday while Anna presented the Rocking Valentine’s Card Kit I was inspired to make several cards from my Rocking Birthday Card Kit. I love this kit!”

Marie wrote, “I tried the concentric hearts on the heart easel and like it!”

Sheri posed, “The CHARMED MATTE FOIL CARDSTOCK is going to be a great mix and match for all Anna’s Papers (I checked) and the CHARMED VELLUM CARD TOPPERS. I think I’m going to use this kit with the DIORAMA CARD DIES.”

 

Craftspiration always gives us the creative boost that we need. There are so many ideas that we want to try out, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with next! Post your projects with us, and we will share what you are making next time we see you! If you are loving all of the valentines posted here, be sure to tune in to our next AGTV show: Be Mine. It’s our January Finishing School Live, and it is sure to be a sweet show!

Bye for now,

Anna

  • All so different and so beautiful. Great inspiration for Valentine’s Day cards. Exciting.

  • Anna and crew, I’m all into Saint Patrick’s Day. I ordered the Irish Die, the vellum kit and the beautiful green card stock. If there is a Valentine Die available, I’d love to take it off your hands. Happy wearing of the green and thank you for the ability to make beautiful cards for family and friends.

  • Hi Anna! I love the flower cart dies! So pretty! I wonder if you could do an English greenhouse easel card die with flowers to add inside?

  • Hi Anna and crew! I loved today’s craftspiration. Getting my finishing school flower cart and anniversary card set today YAAAY! Can’t wait to dig in!

  • A spectacular set of cards…such talent! That Shirli is amazing -love the flower cart card. Is there anything she can’t create? Impressive talent. Thank you for sharing everyone.

  • All so dreamy lovely! Thank you for sharing your creations with all of us & for the smile upon my face & the sparkles I feel in my heart gazing upon all of them. They are all so inspiring, motivating & delightful. Anna, your 13th HSN Anniversary was so much fun! I cannot wait for my packages of pretties to arrive! I am so excited to create with it all. HUGS! YOU ARE LOVED!

  • I love the hearts. This gives me lots of ideas for cards. I have the men’s cut and embossing folders. I love them. Lots of creative ideas. Thank you!

  • Everything shown is beautiful! I cannot wait to receive my goodies from the Anniversary craft day ♥️☘️😀

  • Loved the Flower Cart card with the castle! Dreamy. I have the concentric Heart dies coming! Lots of great ideas here to try. I so appreciate the Victorian nature of Anna’s products. They connect us to a time in history when home & garden & beauty were the focus of life. I like to enter that secret garden whenever I play with my papers & dies.

  • Love to read these posts. I get such inspiration with every picture. Thank you sooo much.

  • Hello Anna
    Thank you for posting the Tea card I received and the festival poster. Sorry that my photograph was so blurry. All the cards featured today were beautiful, and such a calming color scheme. Blessings

  • never get enough of the beauty that’s created with anna griffin products. they’re all pieces of art. i received the carte noir stickers i won today and am looking at my next project. PERFECT. thank you anna griffin.

  • I haven’t received my items but they have shipped. Looking forward to getting them tomorrow. I got some inspiration from these beautiful cards.

  • Thank you ladies for sharing your beautiful cards. They are an inspiration. I love them. Today I received the items I order on HSN – tonight I will work enhancing on my valentine cards,

  • ZOWIE!!! Such romance and sportswomanship in todays CRAFTSPIRATION. Amazing to all. 🥰

  • All the cards are beautiful but just love the flower cart. I ordered that set and waiting for it to arrive. I am anxious to try it out!

  • I love the embossing! I wish we had more embossing folders. I love the added texture! So Elegant.

  • After seeing the creative ways your dies were used, I’m sorry I didn’t buy more of them on Tuesday. ☹️ Especially loved the easel cards made with your concentric hearts. I’m definitely going to look into how I can use the dies I have to make easel cards and shape cards. Such inspiration!!
    Everything shared was just lovely!
    Heading into my craft room right now.
    Love 💕 to you all ,

  • Anna. All the cards sent in are Beautiful. I just got out of the Hospital Today. I had trouble Breathing. Better now. Just have to get stronger. I will be coming back soon.

  • Arlene’s diorama cards are just stunning and make me think about my parents and aunts and uncles. What a warm feeling. Love Thea’s wedding card. Such a great Craftspiration! I have an uncle and two aunts approaching 100 and an aunt who is going to be 101. Same age as when my mother passed last year. I didn’t realize that you, Anna, were also grieving. My deepest condolences to you.

  • I spent too much money on the HSN craft day and was feeling a bit guilty about it…I saw all these beautiful creations and I am inspired to get busy and can’t wait for things to arrive! ( I’m sure I can justify every purchase, tho…. Everything I bought was at a special price!!😉

  • Such beautiful cards. They really are an inspiration.
    I love the lace embossing on one of the cards. Anna, I would like to see more embossing folders such as that one.

  • All the above projects are so beautiful!!!
    Waiting for my order from HSN so I can start crafting!!!!
    Have a beautiful day.
    Mary

  • Love all the inspiration in these beautiful creations. Hoping to be able to craft some by next week after renovations and clean up is complete. Love browsing thru all these beautiful projects!

  • I really love all of Anna’s materials, especially the card toppers and papers. birthday and Christmas box. However I would really like to see things that represent all cultures. I have mentioned before why there are no African American characters or Spanish. We are a world of many beautiful colors.

    • I’m going to Africa this summer.
      Seeing some beautiful African-themed designs sure would be great to scrapbook my pics.
      Can you help us out, Anna?

      Sue from Las Vegas

They were all beautiful, but I especially liked the flower cart. I cannot wait for mine to arrive. It’s a new favorite. Thanks for sharing everyone!
