Hi friends,

Can you believe that it’s already March? Spring is in the air and it’s evident on this week’s Craftspiration post. If you have been looking for a little card making inspiration, then you are in the right place! Our crafters never lack ideas, creativity for making gorgeous projects. Scrolling through and seeing all of the innovative crafts each week makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside. It is such a delight to be surrounded by such a creative group of crafters.

Donna shared, “My best friend commissioned me to make 6 thank you cards to give to her staff for working extra hard on a presentation. These are the two cards I made for the ladies who are tea drinkers. Thank you Anna Griffin Inc. for making it easy to make an opulent card!”

We know that the recipients are going to love these!

Shellie said, “Happy Sunday Share, Anna and Griffinite friends! Today, with countdown to National Craft Month, and with anticipation for your new Cardcentric die set, I’m playing cards with original Compendium, and thinking of Cherry Blossoms coming with the Spring season ahead.”

Laura posted, “Really enjoying my cardmaking time with new ideas! Also, Thank you Anna for the pretty Valentine’s Cards and Envelopes.”

We love this interpretation!

Julia said, “I didn’t make this today, but I did make it when I got my charmed items. I also used a few embellishments I had from other AG purchases.”

Terry posted, “I made a few St. Patrick’s cards mixing and matching colors from the China Cabinet kit and Anna’s cut and emboss shamrocks.”

Shirley wrote, “I dug up some old pics of a daughter-father dance and used the floral papers from CAH and made this layout.”

Terry shared, “Blessings to my Sunday share friends! This week I’ve been trying out the new Cardcentric Compendium dies. A great go-to set to add to your craft room! The two beautiful pieces of Annalise paper on this card may be my favorite.”

Gorgeous work!

Tracy said, “I wanted to make an Irish country cottage that I would love to live in; complete with butterflies, stunningly lush flowers and greenery. I couldn’t have accomplished it without Anna’s Gingerbread House Dies and her other gorgeous products. Thank you for making it possible for me to create my magical dream home!”

Annie Laura shared, “I made another page from my CAH2 papers for my two Yorkies. AllieMae on the left died 6/2020 and I got Blaze 6/2021.”

Stacey posted, “It’s my husband’s birthday today and I made him this chocolate cake card while his real chocolate cake is baking in the oven. This ‘handsome’ brown matte foil cardstock is delicious!”

Happy birthday to him! He’s going to love this delicious cake card!

Kim Jaime said, “I love this sets of dies and the compliment of pieces.”

Sherry posted, “I finally started making my St.Patty’s Day card. Here’s the first. I love making shaped cards.”

Dayle shared, “I love the garden arch and have not used it in awhile. I thought they might be pretty as a accompaniment to the stand alone spring garden cart.”

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Kaye wrote, “I spent the last few days die cutting butterflies & dragonflies so I’d have just the right one on hand when making a card.”

It’s so fun to see all of these beautiful butterflies and dragonflies ready to created with!

Martha shared, “I just can’t wait for Anna Griffin Inc. Canton Bleu Scrapbook Kit!!! So Willow and I went to France today. Fun playing with Tour Eiffel Dies and Willow of course we packed everything up in our cute Purse Card Die Set.”

Love this page and the beret!

Sharilyn said, “Love this French frame!”

Sheri shared, “Here’s my easy to mail cards, only one foam dot high. All the papers are from the BASKET CARDSTOCK PACK, which I love and a few solids from PERFECT PALETTE PAPERS. The inside is just something I picked from CRICUT.”

Eggs-cellent work, Sheri!

The chocolate cake looks good enough to eat, I agree the brown matte foil is delicious. I love the Yorkies page layout. Everything is very impressive. Thanks for sharing! 🍀🍀🍀

  • Love the Irish Gingerbread House! I think it would be fun to live in that one.

  • Love all the new stuff coming out. You never disappoint! Will sure be shopping on Tuesday.

  • I was so charmed by Tracy’s Irish cottage. How imaginative to use a Christmas gingerbread house die and turn it into something truly magical. I am definitely going to try something similar. I also loved the chocolate cake card, yum! Great ideas and projects. Thanks for sharing.

  • I look forward to Craftspiration day every week. Always something amazing. Terry and Laura, WOW!

  • I get so inspired by all these crafty ladies. I just ordered butterfly dies can not wait to get. Love,love Anna’s stuff.

  • Craftspiration is always the smile inducer each week. That “chocolate” cske looks good enough to eat!

  • Sorry everybody else but my favorite is the Irish cottage. I love visiting Ireland and this sure looks pretty close to an original. And how wonderful it would be to live there!

  • Really enjoyed your show yesterday. Learned a few new tips. Can’t wait to become a member. Waiting for internet to be installed at my home, not just office computer.

  • Thank you Sheri for the eggceptional Easter cards. I have pastel plaid paper and that will be a perfect backround. Kaye you are an inspiration to bunch cut dies. Terri a china cabinet St. Patrick’s card is a great idea. Tracy the Irish cottage reminds me of the movie
    “The Quiet Man”. Pretty inspirations, thanks to all.

  • Annie Laurie’s scrapbook page is a fitting tribute to her littles. Mr. T’s predecessor, another black toy poodle, has a scrapbook dedicated to his life of 16 1/2 years. It began with Anna’s farm toile paper because Louis came from a goat farm in the country in Virginia and ended with Anna’s Jolie paper. You will be so glad you captured your puppy’s life as the memories endure on the pages of the scrapbook. Mr. T’s scrapbook is already underway, with more of Anna’s papers.

  • God Bless You, Linda Wade. I will keep you in my prayers and keep on crafting. I loved seeing the Faberge egg dies as I need some instruction to make mine. I can’t find any instructions anywhere.

  • I get so excited when I see everyone’s beautiful creations! They are so much fun to see and inspiring!
    Thanks to everyone for sharing your ideas. My sons birthday is on 13 th so I need to make a chocolate cake card and real one !
    Anna, Thanks for sharing these creations and fir your GREAT products.
    🍀💚🍀

  • Always look forward to Crafspiration Thursday! Tracy, I adore your Irish Cottage. Also loving Sheri’s choice of using the Basket Cardstock for her eggs … it works so perfectly with that die!
    Thanks, everyone for sharing!

  • Loved the cards and page layouts today. Keep them coming. Thanks, Anna and your Griffinites.

  • All just beautiful ideas! Most especially the flower cart with arches on both sides! Brilliant!

  • Wonderful , beautiful, creative work! Love the garden arches with the garden cart!

  • I have Craft Room supplies that I would like to Donate. I live in Chicago. IL.

    PLEASE ADVISE 🙏.

  • Enjoyed your online crafting yesterday. I had trouble with it freezing, but finished the video afterwards. For years I’ve been selling my cards, but I make them for my use and the pleasure of creating them now. Health and age slowed me down, but creating picks me up. I first started watching you on QVC back in 2001. My mother had just had a stroke and lived with me due to her condition. Making cards certainly did wonders for my stress, that and painting with Donna Dewberry. You’ve helped me through some difficult days, especially now dealing with leukemia. Thank you.

  • Beautiful cards. Love the garden cart. Thank you for all of the inspiration and your wonderful products.

  • Terry, your oval compendium card is beautiful! Very inspirational. Lovely work from all. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

  • Hello Anna & Greetings to all the Griffinites

    It always brightens my day to looking at the beautiful cards and projects! Thanks for sharing 🙂
    Blessings

  • Wow, can you believe all this talent and creativity! I can never say I’m at a loss for inspiration. Thank you to everyone for sharing your beautiful paper crafting!! Now I hear my Empress calling. I’m thinking I might have to go make an Irish country cottage, Thanks Tracy for the inspiration, or Shari’s Faberge Easter eggs, maybe Dayle’s Version of the flower cart. They are all beautiful in the making! And, Thank you Anna for all these beautiful products to work with!!

  • Happy Thursday, everyone! My goodness – all of the projects are absolutely beautiful! I especially love Tracy’s Irish cottage- just adorable; and Dayle’s flower cart – stunning. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ 😊 ☘️ 🌸

  • Always a treat seeing all the different ideas. The arches with the Flower Cart was so pretty. Can’t wait for the show on HSN. Thanks everyone for sharing!🌸
