Craftspiration- October 6th, 2022

Hello friends,

Today is our first Craftspiration in October, and we want you to beware of all the spooky projects in today’s post! It’s so much fun to see what you come up with each week and how you use our products. This week we see holiday decor, gifts and so much more!

Let’s check out our frightfully delightful Craftspiration!

Pat said, “I used the Carte Noel embellishments on some wooden birdhouses I painted. Size worked out perfectly.”

Shellie shared, “Great Harvest Icons Cut & Emboss card, Anna Griffin Inc. ! I’m looking forward seeing more about on October 4 on your Elegant Papercrafting Shows with HSN! This morning, I assembled a Nifty Nested Layers ‘Birthday’ title page for my Granddaughter’s 1st birthday celebration-album. Your Thankfulness Cardstock Collection, with its petite flower buds, and the shadow layer from Clock die set made the perfect frame for a phone-photo that captures young one’s smiling face! Papercrafting the medium-size Flowers (die set) with Metallic, and Everyday Vellum pairs well with the floral-pattern on Nested; and, the beautiful Rose Gold Matte Foil makes the prettiest 3D-Bows (as well as ‘offset shadows’ of the Flourish Embellishing dies from Ribbon Journal set)! Sanding the embossing on peach-colored stirae (striped, from Perfect Palette I) highlights the pattern of both the cardstock and the Crocheted Lace embossing folder (5 x 7-in., in multiple, for base album page). It’s very rewarding to make pages for special occasions, and to reach for beautiful Anna-products with the perfect patterns and palettes!”
Jane posted, “Sunday Share was made for Danny’s Creation from Anna Griffin Inc. AGTV last Friday. His mom LOVED the decorated chocolate bar 🎃! #beautifulinthemaking”
Jacquie said, “working on my Christmas cards, while I wait for my cartouche folders to arrive.”
Sandi shared, “Here is another card from the Christmas Celebrations big box. I love using new sets with old ones since it all goes together so easily.”
Jane posted, “This card was inspired by Mary Howe. I feel blessed to be a part of such a talented and kind group. Happy Halloween!”
We love how you all inspire each other.
Mary Beth said, “SpOoKy: Used black ink to distress the silver/gray layers. Colorful flourishes are AG Cricut images = Menacing Mirror!”
Stacy wrote, “I was so inspired by Anna’s premiere edition of AGTV and I just couldn’t wait for the gingerbread house kit coming to HSN, so I worked on my own version of the gingerbread house explosion box. What a fun project! Thanks, as always, for ALL you do to make us look good.”
Tasha wrote, “I like variety! 🎃👻💀“
All these spooky embellishments are lined up ready to become haunting creations!

Daisy said, “I made these memory shadow boxes and now I have to figure out where to hang them.”

Beautiful work, Daisy!

Frankie wrote, “I’m late to the party playing with the pumpkin easel die and this is my first play with it but I’m sure it won’t be my last. I love the size of it and the versatility. I decided to make a 3d home decor pumpkin using the pumpkin shadow layer. Everything is Anna except for the gold drops which are Nuvo Crystal Clear drops.”

Ruby made this cute Halloween card.

Leigh said, “My Monday project share. I love this hot air balloon dies. It makes you want to be floating above the clouds. Super easy and fun to make. @Anna Griffin I add sentiments as I need them. Individual Pictures are in the comments.”

Diane posted, “My friend asked me for a Halloween Anniversary card for her son and DIL. They were married on Halloween. So here is what I did and hope they like it.”

They’re going to love it!

Marie shared, “I challenged myself to make a Halloween rocker card. I made a beautiful bouquet of autumn colored embellishments and then snuck the skull in there. I just love elegant Halloween!”

Adina wrote, “I’ve had these bow dies for a couple of years. I finally decided to use them today. After cutting them once, I realized that they needed double sided cardstock. I stacked the small bow on top of the large one. I like the way they turned out. I think I will be using them more often now.”

Maria posted, “I loved the 3D train that Beth Turchi made and so I had to try to recreate it to give to my grandson. One more thing he can add for his Christmas display.”

Vicky shared, “I’ve been making some really cute paper purses to get ahead of holiday gift giving. Anna’s paper makes them so cute.”

Roxanne said, “My brother-in-law loves trains & has been collecting them for years. I decided a Halloween train was just the thing for him.”

Dunia made this train album. How clever!

We are so inspired this week! Thank you all for sharing all of your amazing projects and creative ideas with us on our social media channels. It is such a treat to see what you come up with each week, and every week you deliver! Keep up the great work and post what you are making with us, so that we can share it with everyone next week.

  • So inspired by all of these beautiful cards and scrapbook pages, I don’t know where to start🙀

  • I would like to send yo aau pictures of a card I just made so how do I do that.love all the cards

  • Great job everyone!!! But I have to comment on a few. Tasha what a great idea to assemble the embellishments ahead. And Frankie you pumpkin looks like something from McKenzie Childs. Marie how clever to use the rocker die for Halloween. Adina I love bows and wish I had that bow die, simply beautiful card. And lastly, Marie you Christmas House, Sleigh and 3-D train are fabulous.

    All these wonderful creations are all because Anna and her team are magicians.
    Question/request, Anna will you do a presentation on how to make the train 3-D, please add to Finishing School.

  • I am so inspired!!! I have to say they’re all master pieces but, my heart gravitates towards the Christmas train scene! Truly gifted Griffinnights!!!

  • Wow, amazing creativity! The birdhouse is beautiful! Jane, black butterflies…who knew! Happy Halloween!

  • Got the train die and I can’t wait to get it. And got the ornament set too. They always tease us with 3-7 days always more like 5-6 days. If we could get them before the weekend.

  • Anna, you should come up with a die set so we can make houses to go with our explosion dies set. I have bought the 2 sets of houses you made but would love a die set!

  • I love the train cards great inspiration for my husband’s 80th. Leigh love how you used the hot balloon dies in a fold card. The embellishments in the baskets add personality to them. Tasha great idea in the haunting collection. Thank you all.

  • So many beauties! I really enjoy seeing what everyone makes! I got the Great Harvest Icons Cut and Emboss Folders to use with my pumpkin for Thanksgiving cards. Now, I may need the train, I just love the Halloween trains!

  • Anna, you have the most amazing community of crafters! They are so creative and dedicated! It all starts with great products, though, so thank YOU!

  • I love them all beautiful!! I’m thinking of buying the Anna’s Christmas kit since I’ve rec’d three of her card dies. I’m getting inspired, I needed it. Thank you all for sharing your beautiful projects.

  • Another great day of inspiring presentations from Anna products. So many great ideas. Love the mass produced embellishments.

  • Wow! Everyone’s creations were wonderful! The haunted trains are a great way to use those dies, and I love Tasha’s embellishments! I will be making some of those for sure! Wonderful job everyone!

  • Craftspiration never disappoints! I am so amazed at what my fellow crafter’s come up with each week. Thank you so much for sharing!
