Hi crafters,

We hope that you are having an excellent week! We had the best time scrolling through and looking at the gorgeous projects that you made and shared with us. The great ideas below have us itching to get to our craft room right now! It’s also fun to see cards with with some of the Sneak Peek items from our July 5th AGTV on display this week!

Come see what Griffinites made!

Karen shared, “I decided to do a different spin on the woodie wagon for some of my special “kids” for their fathers. (And yes it does roll!). I made the inside a box and put treats inside.”

Anita posted, “This is my first time sending in pictures of my projects. The purse dies are a lot of fun to personalize for the recipient. These were all made with AG products. Thank you for making such beautiful products that coordinate so well with items I purchased in the past.  Also, Finishing School is the bomb. I’ve been a member since the beginning and have learned so much. The classes are done so well and even someone who is computer challenged (like me) is able to follow at my own slow pace. You are all a blessing to me. Have a beautiful day!”

Gorgeous purse card! Thank you for sharing!black purse, flowers.

Dayle said, “The beautiful floral paper collection and embellishments are so stunning to scrap with.  I used the die from the photo album die set to make the frames.  Used our finishing school trick to cut them in half to enlarge them, and made a shadow layer also.”

Vickey emailed, “Santa’s getting his new Christmas Truck ready for the North Pole’s annual Christmas Parade. His truck features the Christmas Truck die, cardstock from Create supplies, and a Santa from Mini Snowglobe Stickers. The sentiment is from the Holiday Cigar Label and Sentiment Sticker. Happy Christmas in July!”

It’s so much fun to see your Christmas in July cards.

Terry said, “Hello to my crafty friends ❤️ Sharing an anniversary card for a special couple. The dies used are Oblong Concentric, Pleated Ribbon, Enchanted Concentric & the Diorama Card for the foliage.”

Beautiful as always Terry!

Tracy wrote, “Much to my surprise and absolute delight, I came across this photo of the three generations of family that I had the luck of growing up with (minus my other siblings that were not yet born). So, I made this hanging shaker to surprise my mother with, which I am now preparing to send. With Anna’s dies and exquisite cut and emboss corners, I was able to create the perfect home for this photo, which means the absolute world to me!
What a special project!

Shirley shared, “My daughter and I just did a trip to Greece together after her semester abroad in Rome. I love how blue the sky and ocean were. The canton bleu paper and embellishments were perfect to highlight those beautiful blues . I think I am in love with these blues in this Mother’s Day layout . I used the border and frame die from Crop at Home 2 for accents.”
This looks like you had the best time together!

Mary said, “Here is the companion page using the same slimline die. I cut 3, cut them in half and added Anna’s border sticker in the middle. Everything is Anna except the green slimline die cuts. The border at the top and bottom is an older border die from Anna cut in half. I love how the slimline die fits right in the valleys of Anna’s border die! These are baby pictures of my Mom.”

What a gorgeous page!

Sherry wrote, “I forgot to post my Sunday Share so here it is. The Carousel Die set is set on paper from Botanicals. I wanted the carousel to look like it was somewhere in an outdoor park.”

Love the 3 different color horses on this cheerful card!

  • So beautiful such talented people I learned so much thank you all for sharing and thank you Anna for your beautiful items

  • I AM inspired! These are all so incredible.
    The carousel in the outdoor setting evokes a serene park.
    The trucks with the kitties is precious–my kitty, Glitter, would love her own truck!
    All of individual interpretations on the cards and scrapbook pages gave me so many ideas and I am grateful that the crafters are willing to share their creativity!
    Thank you for making this possible!

  • Thank you Anna and to all who shared their creations. It is fun to pick my favorite which is the truck with cats peeking out! It is inspiring to see how these various embellishments, die cut backgrounds and layers of flowers come to land on one’s unique card!

  • FANTABULOUS craftspiration!🤩👏🏽👏🏽 Well done Griffinites!💃🏻🎉

  • Love each one of these cards! I know a tremendous amount of thought and hard work went into each and every one of them! I strive to be as talented as you all are…

    Thanks; Kathy Cowens

  • You ladies are ready for Christmas in July, tfs Anna. Your art inspires me.

  • wow I’m impressed with so many members ‘thinking outside the box’. I have no imagination and need to see visuals. Thank you all for sharing your fabulous cards.

  • Everything is beautiful! I especially liked the shaker turned photo frame! Awesome idea! Kitties in the truck were so fun. I am so amazed by everyone’s talent!

  • All of the cards and pages are beautiful but the ones that caught my eye most were the kitties in the easel truck, Terry’s pleated ribbon diorama card and the 3 generation photo frame. So lovely and meaningful.

  • Everything Anna is aways cheerful, regardless the occasion for the card! Love all this inspiration!

  • The wheels on the “car” go round and round, round and round. How fun! 😍

  • Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share all of the amazing ideas and crafts.

  • What beautiful inspiring cards and scrapbook pages. I can’t wait to use my Christmas truck die this afternoon!

  • Will the truck die set be available on the Christmas in July shows? I don’t have those and I have A LOT of Anna die sets. The woody, the train, the carriage, the car, the flower cart etc…never saw the truck dies! If not new they must be years old as I have never seen them. Been Anna crafting for about 5 years now. Hope they will be available. My next purchase after the new card making boxes. Everything is so lovely! You all do such good work. I get so inspired when I read the blog. But then work interrupts and I have to leave…like now! Happy crafting all!

  • Lovely projects. I so enjoy seeing what everyone is doing.

    Anita is right about Finishing School. It certainly wonderful. I have not been in since the beginning but am grateful to be a member now. Great use of the monogram sticker on your purse. Creating something that is so personal is part of the enjoyment of making something special for our loved ones.

    Anna’s dies, papers, embossing folders, and embellishments will NEVER go out of style. It’s one reason why when I purge my craft supplies, I KEEP everything Anna!!

    Happy Crafting!!

  • All the projects are so beautiful and very creative. Everyone has done a great job creating their projects. When you review what has been accomplished you get a lot of inspirations and great ideas. I love coming to see what has been created from our fellow Griffinites great job everyone. Everyone have a great day and God bless.

  • Beautiful creations. It’s so relaxing and inspiring taking my time looking at these posts and creations. There are some very talented people out there in Annaland. I have a few favorites this week. Sherry’s card was so cheerful, it reminded me of Mary Poppins. Terry’s card with the Oblong die and ribbons was lovely. And Fifi’s card with the cats was well done and brought a smile to my face. It brings back memories of the musical CATS. Thanks for sharing everyone😊

  • Those were some fun cards! And cards from dies I’ve not seen before. I’m so excited for the upcoming 25th of July show……see you then

  • Thank you for posting these inspiring crafts that were shared by very talented crafters. Definitely makes me want to get my wheels rolling.

  • I love looking at all this talent and being inspired to try something new!

  • I love everything, but usually lean towards the scrapbooking pages. The truck full of kitties is the cutest card ever what a great idea!

  • Everyone has such beautiful work to encourage all to create. Thanks for posting the pictures of you favorite cards. Nice to get a break from work when a post from Anna
    pops up.

  • All beautiful creations in the making. A Woodie Wagon that actually rolls! Amazing. Such creativity in production. I am getting ideas for the Christmas truck too that I am working on now.

  • I get so much enjoyment every Thursday seeing all the different ideas the crafters have presented. Thanks to everyone for sharing all your beautiful work.
    And thank you Anna and Team for making it all available for us to enjoy.

  • Wonderful cards this week. Terry, your hearts anniversary card is adorable with the Pleated Ribbon Cut & Emboss Dies.

    Anita, I’m in love with your black purse. I would like to make one similar for my daughter-in-laws birthday in August!

    Thanks for sharing everyone.

  • Love all of your products. Have not been disappointed in anything I have ever purchased. It is really helpful when you publish examples of cards because it gets my creative juices flowing. I have a question – can you tell me how to determine if flowers, sentiments, etc are stickers? I literally have to pull the back layer off before I know if it is a sticker. I am sure I have applied glue or other adhesive to items that were sticker.

    Thanks for any suggestions on a way to determine this.

  • Hello Anna & Greetings to all the Griffinites
    So many lovely cards and scrapbook pages. I am not a scrapbooker, but I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making your memories come to life. Thank you all for sharing your “makes”. Blessings

  • Craftspiration is so much fun to see each week. I love to see such talented and sometimes unique and unusual but fabulous cards and scrapbook pictures. Love them. Thanks Anna to post all of them for us to see🥰💖.

  • All so lovely!!! Congratulations, crafters. Thank you, Anna, for your inspiration, enthusiasm, tutorials and beautiful paper products that make the above possible.
    Happy day of blessings to all!!!!
