Hello crafters,

We want to start by saying thank you for joining us on HSN earlier this week. You made our 12th anniversary so special! We are glad to kick off 2022 with beautiful new products, gorgeous projects and all of our favorite people.

This week, lots of projects were shared across our social media channels. From Valentines to shutter cards, it’s fun to see what you have been up to. We see some of our new products popping up in your projects too. We are loving what we see!

Come check out all of the inspiration shared by our community this week!

Tina shared, “I made my first Shutter card on this snowy Sunday. I’ve made cards for my Aunt Maggie to send to her family and friends. I want to send her this beautiful card because she is so special to me and deserves to get a card too!”

Here is the inside of Tina’s card!

Annie Laura said, “Using brown printed vellum and paper from 18-20 years ago with current blue hydrangeas, gold foil, bow, slim line dies on Anna’s card base.”

Valerie posted, “Trying out the new Slimline Pocket dies with the Doors and Decorations. Also added some die cuts I made from the Ribbon Bound Journal Dies.”
Susan shared, “Using the With Love 3D dies to wish well a friend who is ill. These dies are just beautiful. They look like the most beautiful antique lace when cut, and no one makes ivory cardstock like Miss Anna!”
What a beautiful, comforting card!
Faith wrote, “Made this z fold card for my husband last night. Well be working on more z fold today. Awesome ideas after watching the videos with the craft box on Finishing School.”

Donna said, “I made this Valentine’s Day card for my daughter and her husband. I used several products to create this card. Loving the Impression Dies! Positioned behind her card is a sculpture that my dad made for her several years ago. It was his first time sculpting. Ahh, memories!”

Loraine wrote, “The inside of the Bow Pop Up Card! Luv this die set!”
Here is the inside of Loraine’s card!
Pam said, “Loving the ribbon dies!”
Love the papers that you combined here!
Tammy said, “Making valentines as well!”
Mary Beth shared, “Valentines… bring on the pinks!”
Jo Ann Sinclair posted this pretty easel card.
Bethany said, “I decided to make Slimline Valentines Day cards . I love slimline cards and am pleased with these turned out.”
Sharilyn posted, “Love these new pocket dies.”
It’s so fun to see you using our new products!
Richard shared, “This is the exterior front of Valentines Card just created still have interior and back to complete I appreciate any feedback.”
Diane posted, “with just a touch of black from a non foiled toner die cut sentiment.”
That’s a fun idea, Diane!
Julie said, “Heirloom lace box ✅ Working on doing everything in each Finishing School Box to make room for this year’s! Feeling very accomplished & replenishing my supply of gorgeous cards!”
These are beautiful!
Terry posted, “Today I’m working with the gorgeous 3D Concertina dies. I especially love the die in this set that cuts a shaped card.” ❤️
Carla wrote, “I have new supplies and I am in L❤️VE! Never did I think I would like the impression dies but the Sweetheart Impression Dies have stolen my heart. The texture and result in person is hard to capture in a photo. And the (new) Vintage Valentines Cardstock is so beautiful!”
Peggy said, “I’ve had a busy week with some happy and some sad moments. Again I used Anna’s Heirloom dies.”
Marie shared, “A friend called this morning asking for a birthday card for her mother-in-law who will be 93. She has been given a few of my cards before and keeps them displayed. So I wanted to make a special one for her. She likes cats and butterflies.”
This is a gorgeous valentine!
Barbie wrote, “Started working on some Valentine’s Day cards! This one is for my husband. I don’t make him cards very often! I love the new 3D Concertina die. I think it looks like very antique and traditional! And I used holographic heart paper for the shadow layers!”
Shirli posted, “An early taste of Spring.”
Love,
Anna

  • Steph Dell- Good job everyone. I can’t wait to finally show my work. Almost. Alot in the making. Years of being busy with elderly parents and battle social anxiety and just plain anxiety every now and rhen depression. But besides that everthing is good. CREDIT TO THE LORD!!! Now a 5 month old to add. Wish u all the best and God Bless. Can’t wait to show you what I’ve been up too when I’ve had a chance Thanks to my husband and good friends.

  • Shirli, what metal cutting dies and materials did you use to produce this beautiful card, “Early taste of Spring”. I would like to purchase these dies for things I want to make for Easter.

  • As usual, the talent exhibited by all the crafters is very inspiring! Especially love the tonal Wishing You Well card! Beautiful card, Susan. Thank you all for sharing….

  • Oh….such beautiful cards! Richard: You asked for feed back. Your card front reminds me of the lovely boxes that confectioners used to put chocolates in at Valentine’s day. I think it is the ribbon. I don’t know if that helps with the rest or not. So far, it’s gorgeous. Marie

  • Dear Anna and Team,

    Craftspiration is my favorite post. My fellow crafters are so talented. I just love to see their beautiful submissions. Gorgeous! Love the inspiration they provide.

    I would love to join up with fellow Griffinites to creat cards, but there are no groups near me. Maybe one day.

    Have a wonderful rest of the week. Stay happy, healthy, and creative.

    Bye for now!

  • WOWSERS once again I just LOVE everything!! So beautiful and inspiring.
    Richard your card look like a box with delicious chocolates in it. If you have any pocket dies you could put some hot chocolate or tea bags inside for a sweet surprise.
    Thank you Anna and team for ALL your hard work that goes into every blog post. I for one certainly appreciate it. Especially on a cold snowy day like today. It’s like a warm hug from a friend.
    Happy Crafting!
