Hello Griffinites,

It’s hard to believe that it’s already June! We are starting the new month off in the best way– with lots of inspirational crafts! If you are in a crafting rut, look no further than today’s post to reignite your creative spark. There are great ideas for scrapbook pages, Father’s Day cards and even a cute little shop.

Let’s take a look at this week’s shared projects!

Sally said, “I combined techniques recently learned at Create Crop at Home 3 with the original Favorite Flowers, die cuts created with the dies from Create Crop at Home 2 Dies and the Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies to make this shabby chic layout.”

Laura posted her wonderful Father’s Day card.

Tracy shared, “Anna’s Classic Car is so extraordinary that I could envision it in the Rose Parade. So, I got it ready… just in case.”

Ready for the Rose Parade indeed! Amazing work!

Diane wrote, “The Simply Father’s Day cards set is full of lots of embellishments and the cards are fun putting together! Here’s a card I made for our son’s Father’s Day using a combination of Anna’s masculine products.”

You have created the perfect combination!

Terry said, “I used my Cardcentic Dies and Canton Bleu stickers to make note cards for my friend. I found the background paper a few years before Anna’s Bleu cardstock came out, so I’m using that up on little projects. Have a safe Memorial weekend, everyone!”

Clare posted, “I used dies and scraps Crop at Home 3. This is all Anna except the gold die cuts and my journaling stamp.”

Marie-Louise said, “I enjoyed trying out my new 3D Victorian Slimline Concentric frame dies.”

Gorgeous card, Marie-Louise!

Nicole posted, “Today was the PA Griffinites monthly Crafting Get Together (CGT) & this is the card I demonstrated. From AG’s book Emboss, Cut & Create pg. 10. I love creating with friends – GFP!”

This is gorgeous! It sounds like you all had a great time together!

Sharon emailed, “Here is a Fathers Day twist on the wonderful Flower Shop craft box using an old sheet of book designs from my craft room. Dad loves books and bookshops!”

Here’s another gorgeous card that Sharon made! She said, “I wanted to put the car card in context which I neglected to do when I sent it in. The car belongs to the groom and they are leaving their wedding. A “Just Married” car for the happy couple!”

Jane shared, “I haven’t crafted a flower cart, yet. BUT I did craft a flower shoppe!! Made the first one for my Tia Queenie. I told my Tia that she has me crafting again. I was stuck for a while. She really loved her easel card, “my very own flower shoppe!”. It was a very emotional experience crafting this for my Tia.”
Just gorgeous! We know she loves it so much!

Marie wrote, “Yesterday was a CA Griffinite meet and greet in northern CA and Sara Rangel Murphy arranged it. Sara is so talented so I knew I needed to create a music store for her. I did use my cricut some to cut smaller instruments for inside the store behind the vellum windows, the black window insert, the music note section at the top was printed on a laser and foiled. She loves her cat and so the cat needs to be musically talented also. It was fun playing around with this one.”
So creative!

  • These cards are so original to each person, I just love what they did with them. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.

  • I just LOVE Craftspration Thursday.

    With Crop@Home 3 being over a month ago, seeing the scrapbook pages is a bit of reliving it.

    I enjoy seeing all the takes on the Classic Car. All those gorgeous takes on the new Flower Shop Die set. I did get several of the cards made but still have to decorate them. I have learned to craft in steps. Die cutting first, then assembling the cards. Then on to the decorating which is the most fun part.

    Thanks everyone for sharing!!
    Happy Crafting!!

  • Love all the beautiful cards and Claire and Sally’s scrapbook pages are gorgeous 😍 Thanks An a for these wonderful ideas.

  • Have you noticed how much more advanced people’s creations have become. Just awesome!

  • AWESOME craftspiration!🤩👏🏽👏🏽

    #WEAREANNAGRIFFIN 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

  • I love the imagination everyone is showing with the flower shoppe; especially the book shoppe! Thank you all for sharing.

  • I didn’t know what log out was, I thought it meant I was done looking at my account . Do I need to correct anything?

  • I love to “play” with my dies & right now I am on a “year of birdhouses”! I LOVE all the different “shops”. Keep up all the creativity. It just is so beautiful to see everyone’s work.

  • Hello Anna & Greetings to All the Griffinites
    So much to see and enjoy in all of these creations. Those little shops nearly stole my heart!
    Blessings

  • I’m excited for my card to be included in this week’s craftspiration! So many great cards. Thank you!

  • Love all the creative ideas on how to use the flower shop dies. Anxious to try some of them.

  • Everything is so creative but that MUSIC SHOP was one of the best. I’d love to se a flute die as that’s what our Granddaughter excels in!
    Still waiting on my Father’s Day order I place a week ago… but I know it will be here soon so I can get my cards done and mailed. So disappointed in the mail lately , my auto ship foil cardstock came and the box was really smashed and cut partially open ! The corners of a few were slightly bent but I can probably cut that off.
    DONT THEY KNOW HOW SPECIAL OUR ANNA BOXES ARE! They are to be handled with kid gloves and care! 💗😉

  • All the cards were so beautiful, but I especially like the last one best the music store

  • Not sure, but I think I like the last card best the music store very very creative

  • Thank you all for sharing. I love the bookstore, one of my favorite places to visit.

  • I love seeing all the variations of the Flower Shop. Sharon’s Book Shop is right up my alley and I never thought of that idea, it’s perfect! I would love if Anna made interior embellishments for us like the books, perfumery, patisserie and maybe even a hat shop and clothes boutique. Having great fun with these FS craft boxes. Thanks for sharing everyone 🙂

    • Now that you mention it, I’m sure I have other paper sheets or cardstock of herbs, hats, perfume bottles, candy and sweets, even a Harry Potter type Knockturn Alley scary bottles, jars, skeletons etc. We can make all kinds of quaint shops, Halloween or other holidays types of boutiques. I will be digging through my Paper stash. But Anna has the best cardstock in the world as we all know from experience. Mmmmm…… Easter eggs, china, pet store…..Love It !
      ❤️

      • Yes, Anna, each card beautiful and creative. The cards and scrapbook pages are all so lovingly done; you can tell that the crafters made them with such care to detail for special people in their lives. Priceless.

  • The creativity dis-payed here is amazing and inspiring! I’m curious about where the Northern California Griffinites meet. I’m in the Monterey/Santa Cruz area and would love to connect with any other crafters in my region. If anyone from the area sees this post, maybe they can respond and let me know how to connect with them. Not sure if it’s ok to leave contact info here. Thanks!

  • I was amazed at all the different ways that crafters created stores using the Flower Shoppe kit. Loved the bookstore and music store that were individually crafted for their recipients… very clever ideas! I LOVED everything that was shared this week 💗!

  • Yet another amazing group of cards! I love the unique take on the antique cars and Flower Shop! I am now brimming with ideas. Thank you Craftsinspiration for sharing your beautiful works!
    P.S. I got to see Marie’s Music Shop in person. Quite special!

  • So beautiful! So clever!! So colorful!!! So creative!!!! Thank you for sharing, Anna, and all crafters.

  • I loved each wonderful creation! They were all unique and so special!

  • Everything is sooo beautiful. The cat playing the cello made me laugh. ❤️😊

  • From Sharon, the maker of the Bookshop card and the antique car card. I wanted to put the car card in context which I neglected to do when I sent it in. The car belongs to the groom and they are leaving their wedding. A “Just Married” car for the happy couple!

  • All very beautiful and inspiring! I love how the flower shop dies can be used for many more different ideas!!!! EXCELLENT!
