Hi friends,

We have been crafting up a storm here at the office, and know that you have too! There are lots of fun things to get ready for including celebrating National Scrapbook Month, crafting for Father’s Day and so much more. We found some really special projects that we couldn’t wait to share with you!

Tina said, “Good Sunday Morning! I used the first 3D Rose Concentric Dies for this shaped card. It has so many layers that it will need to be hand delivered! Loving the bow dies and the new papers! Thanks Anna!”

This card is so lovely and elegant. Thank you for inspiring us!

Yvonne posted, “Made my first train as a Father’s Day card. Most papers are from the Handsome card stock. Added the clock and thin decorative die from Gentleman’s Study. The smoke is the swirly flourish from the Carte Homme FS Kit in grey, black and gold. The wheels and trim are from shiny, very thin black metal. I have a few more trains cutout to decorate so will see what I come up with…such fun!”
Thanks for sharing, Yvonne! The different dies that you combined worked together wonderfully.
Nicole wrote, “#createcropathome2 is scrapbooking extravaganza!”
We’re so glad that you enjoyed the weekend!
Terry posted, “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things! Victorian Concentric Dies, Concertina Dies, Heirloom Lace Paper, Garden Floral Stickers, & Beautiful Bow Dies.”
Pretty card, Terry! We love the combo of pink and green.

Linda said, “The toile papers go well with Carte Noire to make a playful scene. The flowers in this kit have such gorgeous hues and tones. One of my favorite FS kits!”

Lisa shared, “After a few days rest from Create Crop at Home 2, I got a burst of creativity. This is the card I made multiples of for Pastor to give to each of the confirmands this Sunday. Used Church Easel Die, 3D Cross die, flowers from Heirloom Crop at Home 2 papers, Congratulations sentiment from retired Birds and Bees die cuts, white glitter cardstock, and gold matte foil cardstock.”

We love how you personalized this!

Roxanne said, “Oh my gosh! I love these new Beau Regards toppers. They are not only beautiful but the sayings are really funny. I added a few embellishments from Carte Homme as well as a mustache from the Sporty Icon embossing folder. My cousin will be thrilled.”

Karen wrote, “I celebrated my husband’s 55th birthday Saturday night after Create CAH2 wrapped for the day. I created scrapbook pages, cards, and a cake last weekend. What a party!”

Frances said, “For my dear friends who gave me such beautiful music from their church.”

Vickey said, “Birthday card for my twin brother. He just received it and really likes it – he’s an antique train enthusiast.”

Happy Birthday for you both!

Patty posted, “I made this card for my niece using the old card Shaker Kit.”

Marie said, “I have been having so much fun at crop converting the demos to cards. So much fun.”

Mary Beth shared, “Here is a blast from the past! Giftables! Dies or Cricut file – made these a few years ago…male/female versions?”

Just the thing for graduation season!

Debbie posted, “My craft room is set for CAH2, but I couldn’t not make at least one card today.”

This is the perfect card for a stylish guy!

Thank you all for continuing to inspire us and this community week after week! If you would like to share your projects with us, post them on our social media channels and we could feature them on next week’s Craftspiration blog post. We love seeing what you create!

Love,

Anna

  • Such inspired people using Anna’s creative tips, tutoring and trademark papers. Beautiful!!

  • These are great for men in suits. I have been asked to teach a group of ladies card making. I would like a simple card making kit that I can use. I cannot find any of your easy card making kits. The pop ups are too difficult for beginners. Others have been so blessed by the cards that I sent them, that they want to learn. Thank you so much..

  • Wow!! Lovely craftspiration!!👏🏽👏🏽🤩🥰😍

  • Hi,
    ALL so beautiful. Really like the guy cards. Always takes me to a different world. I enjoyed your work.
    Thanks.

  • Way to Go! on Craftspiration Day!!! It is wonderful to see folks you know make the beautiful parade of wonderful Craftspiration! I always enjoy seeing the neat things the community shares, congratulations to all, much enjoyed it for sure!!!

  • All of these beautiful cards and scrapbook pages are stunning! Many creative and talented people!
    Love the train die! My Dad and Grandpa worked as agents and telegraph operators for the Illinois Central Railroad. I spent a lot of time at the depots, when I was young. My Dad’s train engineer friends would occasionally let us ride the train engine to a nearby town, where they had to stop. My Mom would pick us up and drive us back home. Of course this would never be allowed in this day and age. Many fond memories.

  • Such beautiful cards; gives me so much inspiration. Love the trains, and the use of the older 3-D rose concentric dies. Just gorgeous!

    I have a request, I love heirloom lace flowers. I would just love a set of the flowers alone, they are so light and airy and beautiful. Is there anyway to make a set of
    “ heirloom lace flowers“ as a stand alone purchase. I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves them so much that they would like more and more of those flowers.

    Thank you so much everyone for your inspiration

  • Gave me some nice ideas for using my “as yet to be used” Shaker card kit! your fans are so very creative, and this is where I get most of my ideas. I love that crafters include what they used to make their card or page.

  • Oh I love the train die! I didn’t think I needed it til now 😁. Amazing projects but Naudia’s smile steals the show!

  • Thank you Anna and crafters for such a lovely set of cards.
    Thoroughly inspiring.

  • Craftspiration with Griffinite creative friends is a wonderful time of the week, and especially today, with such beautiful cards and layouts! CROP At Home was the best ‘mother’s day make-up’ celebration, since I had been ill several days that week. Now that I am better, and back to babysitting, I am so glad to find a good dose of inspiration here for the crafty weekend coming! Heirloom Lace and Carte Homme are my new best friends this late-Spring season–thanks, everyone for sharing!

  • Love the train card that Yvonne made! Anna, do you have a black matte foil cardstock? I love your matte foils! It would be great for the train and also for Halloween!

  • Thanks for sharing your beautiful work friends. Love seeing what you have made & get different ideas for myself to put together ( a piece from one card & another few from others ), Surprise myself with what I can make for others.
    Have a great weekend everyone & looking forward to see what you made this upcoming weekend.
