Craftspiration- June 22nd, 2023
Hello friends,
It’s Craftspiration day, and we are rounding up the wonderful projects shared by our crafting community. Today, you will find excellent Father’s Day cards, a birthday card and a fun project with Flower Shop. Each project is more beautiful than the next, and we absolutely love sharing your work. We know that we need not look any further than our crafters for inspiration every day.
Come see today’s crafty offerings!
Kirk said, “Happy Father’s Day.”
Laura wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to your Dads, Granddads and sons!”
Shirley posted, “Made my husband a Father’s Day card using cigar labels. It’s been a while since i crafted again and it was so wonderful.”
Love these colors together!
Heidi shared, “Well I had to come up with something for hubby with what I have with me. So here we have from finishing school boxes the heirloom lace with a hint of Carte Homme velum in the background. Cut a little spiral off the happy Birthday toppers and added just for you. I did not have my Father’s Day embellishments with me. Anyhow there he is haha. Happy Fathers Day to all.”
Such a great, summery card!
Carrie said, “Happy Father’s Day! This is a card I made for my wonderful, amazing husband, who loves to listen to all types of music, from many different genres!”
Jane shared, “Happy Father’s Day to my dad! Here’s the card I crafted for him utilizing the following Anna Griffin Inc. tools & supplies: Classic Car Easel Die, 3D Victorian Slimline Concentric Frame Dies, 3D Stars Aligned Dies, shimmer metallic cardstock grey/green, and Collage Card Toppers for Him.”
Vickie posted, “I love using blues in a card. This is my take on a Flower Cart with a touch of Canton Bleu.”
Kim said, “I always struggle with masculine cards, but with Anna’s kit, it was so much fun.”
These are all so great!
Diane wrote, “My husband was surprised with the Father’s Day card I made because it represents nearly everything he’s interested in or has personally done. The card was mostly pulled & put together from the Simply Father’s Day Card Making Kit, Handsome Cut & Emboss Folder and Anna’s Die Cuts for Him, except the red bike!”
Sherry shared, “Right out of Finishing School, I made this card for my friend and her 2 yr old granddaughter. They like to garden together so I wanted to give them some special together time. I added decorations that a 2 yr. old would find fun to discover–a kitty on a chair; a butterfly on the Hello banner; flowers draping down the sides of the shop; a ladybug on the tree and a gardening poem. Inside the Flower Shop Box is a poem and three packets of seeds to plant and watch grow. This was fun to make and fun to give.”
Adina shared, “I really love the look of the Le Coin Criss Cross Square die. But, it doesn’t have a shadow layer die. Today, I tried to make one, actually two. One I traced and used my scissors. The other one I did freehand using my craft knife. Neither one turned out that great. If you have any suggestions about how to make a shadow layer, please share! Thanks!”
Lori wrote, “I really enjoyed making this birthday card for my nephew who is a huge baseball fan. I used materials from the Celebration Chest and the Sporty Icons Cut and Emboss folders.”
Keep up the great work, Griffinites! Post your projects with us on Facebook, in our Finishing School Community or email us with your paper projects at RSVP@annagriffin.com. We look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Love,
Anna
Beautiful ways to celebrate the men in our lives; too often overlooked in cards, but not with Anna cards!
Gorgeous cards! Thank you for sharing!
Such fun to scroll through and look at everyone’s fabulous cards!!
Lots to enjoy and give – thank you for sharing!
Anyone would be honored to receive any of the cards. Felt the love put into them.
All are spectacular.
All those cards were just fantastic especially the last one!!!!
A lot of talent went into making these amazing cards. All the person’s interests were cleverly put into each card and they were so well put together.
It’s no wonder Thursday is aptly named Craftspiration. There are so many ideas to draw from today. You are all wonderfully creative designers and paper crafters! Thank you for sharing everyone. 😊 💖
I love all the masculine cards.💙💙💙
AWESOME craftspiration!🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽

Lots of love for the men in our lives. Anna makes our makes for men so easy.
Happy Crafting!
So nice to see the work that everyone did, thank you all for sharing.
Loved all the men’s cards, especially Carrie’s musical kitty. Sherry’s flower shop is a visual party. Adina…I take a risk & glue my die cut to my shadow paper & then fussy cut leaving a little edge. The trick is move the paper, not your scissors as you cut around curves, etc. I get pretty good results. Hope that helps! Loved the card.

Thanks, Edyne! I will try it!
I would like a “Simply Get Well/Thinking of You” kit. Your Simply kits are so great to use!
I have nothing for guys. I was looking in my room to try and make a card and I have nothing. Wow
Beautiful expressions of love for dad. I love Sherry’s gardening card and poem and seeds; how fun!
I have been without electricity for a week due to a terrible storm that came through my area. That’s East Texas. It is fun catching up on all of the great projects since my internet has been down. You Griffinites are really something else. Keep the crafting ideas coming.
Love the men’s suits.
Hello Everyone! Beautiful cards. I love Thursdays when I can see all of the talent.
All of the Father’s Day cards are great. I couldn’t even pick a favorite they are so
well done.
Wow. Love them all and especially the Father’s day cards.
Great Father’s Day and men’s cards ladies. Love all the ideas you had, continuous inspiration.
Beautiful and creative cards. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful projects.
Adina, I am drowning in the beautiful colors of your card. I think it is luscious and beautiful and perfect. The colors take you to another place and I would not know how to begin how to make a card like this. I love, love, love it. Thanks for sharing with Anna so we could see this beauty.

Hi Coni,
All of the colors in this card are from the Marbleized Cardstock.
It takes on an entirely different look when die cut.
I made another card using a different pattern of the Marbleized Cardstock and it turned out just as pretty.
Thank you for your kind words!
Adina
Great cards.
Gorgeous cards and Inspiration everyone
All so lovely and clever, clever, clever!!! Thank you, Anna, for sharing your wealth of cards and projects.
What beautiful examples of the workmanship of our crafters! I’m inspired!!
These cards are very creative, nice work to all. 🥰
My favorite day, CRAFTSPIRATION! All of you have made just the best with all of Anna’s parcels that we love to receive. Am on my way upstairs to make birthday card for 2 year old Grand nephew this weekend. He is pretty darn cutie!
Made 3 of the Classic Easel die card kit, one fir my son-in- law for birthday and fathers day, and 2 for each of my wonderful brothers-in-law. My dad would have LOVED THESE, but has passed quite few years. When I first saw this set I knew he would have loved it.
Awesome creativity!
Love! I kept saying that’s my favorite but then the next one was also great. So, I couldn’t say which was the best!
Just wonderful talent y’all.

Shirley, I do the same thing!!! I really enjoy them all!!!
I love to see men in suits. However, since it is not required as much, that card just takes me back a minute. Thanks
I love these ideas! I’ve finally gotten back to be able to craft some and made a few cards last night.
All wonderful ideas for DAD!
Beautiful creations everyone. I really admire your talent and creativity. Thank you for sharing.
I was impressed by all the submissions today. Vicki, love the blues & the black & white awning on your flower cart! Kim, you must have had an assembly line making all those handsome suits!
Sherry, what a perfect idea of putting flower seeds inside your adorable flower shop box; love it! Thanks Anna for including my husband’s Father’s Day card.
I love making your cards that is already to put together. They r getting to expensive for me know on a fixed budget.
They r beautiful cards and I love doing them. I like the bows already tied, for my fingers don’t want to cooperate. Thank you so much.
Awesome ideas for all the men in our lives husband’s, sons, brothers, uncles, nephews etc. Thanks Anna for sharing.
WOW! So many wonderful creative Fathers Day cards! Adina’s and Sherri’s are lovely as well. Thanks for inspiring.
