Hello crafters,

It’s hard to believe that this is the last Craftspiration this month! May is flying by, and summer is just around the corner. Along with warmer weather comes crafting for Father’s Day, graduations, baby showers and more! We have lots of beautiful examples that you have created and shared with us on our social media channels. Whenever we find ourselves stuck in a creative rut, we know that this community of skilled crafters will always give us the spark of creativity that we need! We want to say a special hello to some new faces making their debut here on Craftspiration. It’s good to have you here!

Feast your eyes on this week’s projects!

Jane said, “The Concertina + Collage Card Topper = super cute baby card.”

Vanessa wrote, “A half rosette with paper tricks with a border from CAH2. The photo mat is backed with a complimentary color and a ruffle was added that has a tiny pink edge to bring it all together. Love the end result!”

We love it too! All of the ruffles give the page pretty dimension.

Frances shared, “Another baby to be born! This is for a friend who is having a baby girl!”

Congratulations to your friend!

Leticia posted, “Had so much fun making this closet in Finishing School for Carte Homme!”

Great work, Leticia! Thank you for sharing with us; this is perfectly done.

Carmen said, “I fell head over heels with this 3rd project from Finishing School. This is my very first card from the box. I wanted to make these for my twin nephews (who are in their 40’s). One is serious, the other is comedic. Thought these hats & ties reflect their characters. I used the decorative (ormolu) element to embellish the sentiment. Now onto making another card for the comedic nephew.”

We like your interpretation very much!

Lisa shared, “My first time using the train die. I made this card for my brother’s gift for the guys baby shower. Inspired by design team card in the train die product demo. Papers from Castle and Create 7 Card Stock. Flowers from China Cabinet. Animals from Baby Icon Cut and Emboss Folders.”

This is such a sweet card. Too cute!

Catherine posted, “The Carte Homme kit is one of the most fun kits ever! I worked on 2 1/2 cards yesterday, and only finished these 2. I showed them off to some of the people at the senior center yesterday, and they are in love with these cards. One lady put in a request for the 3 Jacket easel card for her husband, saying that he would get a kick out of it. I came home and immediately ordered the refill kit. I used the houndstooth card base from the Slimline Beaux Regards cards, isn’t it perfect for Carte Homme?!”

How fun! We are glad to hear that they like these cards as much as we do!

Marianne wrote, “Card from CAH2 paper stash using the Paisley kit.”

This card is lovely! The colors, patterns and dimension work together to make an amazing card!

Barbie said, “Here is the Title page from the CAH2 Floral papers. So I didn’t plan on scrapbooking these pics but the paper just seemed perfect for it! We had so much fun! Wait til you see the two – page spread!”

Can we come next time? This looks like a great time!

Shellie posted, “Anna, your Clock dies birthday card looks like an actual clock with beautiful details! At my craft-spot this busy day, I parsed through ‘saved trimmings,’ and paired with Toppers for a birthday card that’s pretty, and FAST. After the pleasure of attending CROP 2 At Home a week ago, I learned to look at scraps more creatively–both for scrapbook layouts, and cards, too! Thank you, Anna, for great instruction and cardstock patterns so pretty that scraps are also beautiful-in-the-making!”
Mary shared, “This is a Father’s Day card for a golf lover. The base is from the For Him Easel Card Kit. The embellishments come from the Vintage Dad Decoupage Diecuts, the Die Cuts for Him Bundle, and the Sporty Icon Cut and Emboss Folders.”
This card is just the thing for a golf lover on Father’s Day. Awesome job!
Diane shared her “pop up bouquet using flowers from delicate engravings.”
Shirley shared, “Made a few easel cards using Anna’s oval easel die set. Added a few flower stickers and flourishes made with the flourish impression dies. The sentiments were made with the treasury die and stamp sets.”
Pretty, pretty!
Sally said, “I used the new dies from Create Crop at Home 2 to make this colorful layout of my youngest granddaughter. She’s a sweetie.”
This is the cutest!
Yvonne shared, “For my son and his wife…their 11th year anniversary card which is today! They were married at 3 o’clock. Their honeymoon was in Belgium and Paris of which there is Paris in the clock. The colors and embellishments represent the traditional gift for the 11 year anniversary which is steel, a symbol of the strong bonds one shares with their partner. The 11th anniversary gemstone is turquoise and its associated flower is the elegant and passionate tulip. Wishing them a Happy Anniversary!”
Beautiful work, Yvonne!
Tina posted, “Loved using a pocket on a slimline card. Filling it with pink hydrangeas and a couple of bows!”
Donna shared, “My great niece graduation party and myself.”
Congratulations to Jade!
Thank you all for posting such gorgeous cards and projects with us this week. Each one is more lovely than the next! We know that you are inspired too, and hope this post got your creative juices flowing. If you would like to be featured on next week’s Craftspiration, all you have to do is post your projects with us across our social media channels. We love to see what you create! Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Xoxo,
Anna
