Craftspiration May 25th, 2022
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!










Every card is amazing! I see crafters sitting, creating with joy on their free time, ready to share and give to others of their lives. So beautiful.
My Hungarian friend says it this way – “ so thanks full”
These cards are awesome. I will be using some of these ideas.
That welcome baby card is the bomb. But that was a difficult choice.
All of the cards are simply beautiful! Especially the Baby and Father’s day cards. Good Job😁
Wonderful creations from these very talented Griffinite. Great work!
Ohhhhh mmyyyyy. Where do I start. I love the men’s closet cards. Unbelievable.
And the beautiful dimensional cards that everyone made is just beyond.
I love the baby cards they are beautiful. I think I will order the baby cards.
Beautiful creations, ladies! I am always impressed by all the creativity of these wonderful artists. This just made my day and I am always so honored when Miss Anna shares one of my creations on her weekly Craftspiration!
Loving all the beautiful creations this week. Shout out to Barbie for such a beautiful page capturing our AZ Griffin Gals planning tea and to Jane for such a beautiful baby card. Loving all the Carte Homme creations. Great job to all!!!

Awww! You are so sweet! Best.Day.Ever!!
I love the Welcome Baby sentiment. I call AG office and they said they don’t make baby sentiments any longer. Which is sad since AG products would make perfect baby cards.
Bravo!👏🏼💜
All of these are truly inspiring. I really like all the scrapbook pages!
And Carte Homme creations.
Thanks for sharing all of these Anna.
Everything is absolutely beautiful. We have so many talented Griffinites that could be designers themself. Tfs.
Love love the card Letica made it looks like a fine gentleman’s closet
Oh my! I feel so honored that you have selected another card I made for Craftspiration!! Thank you so much😊 I am truly grateful for this. I tried so hard to make a beautiful card for them. You make it so much better with all the elements available to use to create something extraordinary. ❤️

I enjoyed the description of your card and the reason for each element. Not just a beautiful card, but a beautiful story.
Happy Crafting!
That 3 Jacket Easel card was awesome! Now I’ll just have to break into my piggy bank and get the kit!
