Hi crafters,

Thank you all for posting the different paper projects that you have been creating on our social media channels. We know that everyone waits with bated breath to see all of the gorgeous creations here on our Craftspiration blog post each week. Be prepared to be inspired by the birthday, Halloween and holiday projects shared this week. It’s been an extra crafty week, and we are so glad that you joined us for our Anna Griffin Elegant Papercrafting shows on HSN a few days ago. Our next big Craft Day will be on October 4th, so mark your calendars!

Let’s take a look at today’s shares. Be sure to tell us what you love in the comments.

Elaine said, “Beautiful, beautiful Pulley card! For Sunday Share I made this birthday card for my great grandson. He loves cupcakes!”

Happy birthday to him.

Gay Lynn wrote, “Still enjoying the Christmas box, incorporating some dies I have in my collection… Merry Christmas in August!”

We like to push the season too!

Vanessa shared, “I can’t wait to get back home been gone for almost 3 months, but wouldn’t have it any other way. Hubby says their must be over 30 packages waiting for me. It will be like Christmas.”

Celia posted, “Beautiful pulley card! Getting ready for the HSN shows and the fabulous Halloween products! This witch is so adorable.”

Mary wrote, “Working on Halloween cards, today. This is my first try with the Pumpkin Easel Die set.”

Too cute!

Suravi said, “Scrapbooking pictures of my visit to my country, and son’s graduation ceremony.”

Jane wrote, “Elegant and tasteful. Never easy to make.”

You did an amazing job, Jane!

Nancy shared, “Loving the Kirigami dies and cards. Here are two I’ve made recently…”

Yadyra shared, “Beautiful card..this is one of the many cards that I’ve made this past week…”

Shirley said, “I made some thank you cards for my friends who supported my GO2 foundation for lung cancer 5K walk. I used my favorite Wildflower Garden Collection die and paper and added butterflies made with the new 3D Butterfly Dies. The sentiments were made with Cartouche Cut and Emboss Folders. The butterflies look great and really make the cards more 3D!”

Tonawanda posted, “This is my 1st ever Sunday Share. I’m well out of my comfort zone with this one. But it’s ok. I’ll get the hang of it…”

We are so glad that you shared with us, and hope that you will continue to post with us!

Vickie shared, “Can’t recall if I posted this, but here is another from Witchy kit and some other candy embellies that bring this sentiment to life, bwahaha!”

Sally said, “I used the Lillian Paper Collection and my skills learned at Create Crop at Home II to create this layout of my daughter’s happy moment.”

This scrapbook page is so joyful!

Dayle said, “I made these fun cards for my twin granddaughters. One loves pink and the other blue. I loved Anna’s tip to cut out two of the wheels so they can spin with a brad. All Anna except for pearls and shimmer mist. Those girls love their sparkles.”

Donna shared, “After 29 yrs finishing up what I started. Redesigning a few original pages using the original paper, adding a couple of new pages and finally adding bulk of photos to pocket pages.”

Roxanne wrote, “This is my first Halloween using Anna’s products & I’m so excited! I can’t wait to share these cards with friends & family. These haunted houses are so detailed. I love them. (My little Joey helped. He had to be in the picture.)”

Sharon said, “When I first saw the train die presented, I immediately thought that I would make one for every holiday. Here is a Christmas train. Now I need to make a Halloween train.”

Love this festive train!

Debbie shared, “I just received the Carte Noel about 2 hours ago. I needed to make a card right away. I always add a little sparkle & shine. I chalked the steps a bit so that they were more obvious. I already love this set.”

Jane said, “Decorating the inside of a card is so much fun!! Pink & gold everywhere, I made this card extra special.”

We love seeing your gorgeous projects, and they are always the creative spark needed to inspire a new, exciting project. Whether you have shared a hundred cards or none, we want to hear from you! We love seeing all of the talent and creativity shared among the Griffinites. Post your projects, and we will share them on next week’s Craftspiration.

Bye for now,

Anna

  • All of the cards are beautiful. And as I am trying to make a card I am amazed at such intricate detail and I am no way close to making some of these cards. I tried my 1st Pumpkin Easel Card Die and was lost. I made one but I don’t think I it exactly right.

  • Omg, these cards that were made and shown here are some of the nicest I’ve seen. The Christmas train is a must copy and also the twin Ferris wheels, the Halloween cards and I can’t honestly remember the rest, but pics taken and saved so I can copy them all. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • I so enjoy seeing what others are making. I have yet to get up the nerve to share my cards. But, I am getting encouragement from those who do submit cards and scrapbook pages.

  • These cards are extra lovely examples. Suravi’s scrapbook pages have a moving, dreamlike quality. Thank you all for sharing.

  • Lovely craftspiration, thank you everyone!👏🏽👏🏽

  • Hi Anna! You have provided us with such an array of prettiness today! I love all the personality shown in the projects. Thank you, everyone, for sharing your talents.

  • Every creation is a work of art. Loving the resurgence of scrapping. Love the Christmas train and Adina’s creations are always extra special! Jane, I am with you girl…I always decorate the interior of my cards but only get half as many done ‘cos it takes twice as long. Thanks everyone for your creativity and inspiration!

  • Debbie I love your card.

  • I love all the beautiful card and scrapbook submissions, but in particular I loved the scrapbook pages submitted by Suravi and by Donna. Great work everyone. Thank you for sharing🌸🦋

    • Thank you! The pages shown were actually originally done 20 years ago. I took them apart and dressed them up a bit and updated with cuts from the new dies.

  • My most favorite thing that you have ever ever made that I am so in love with is the mascara roses oh my gosh I have so many boxes of them I remember when you first came out with them they were just a few of them in another box assortment of roses and I bought a couple of those just to get them the roses with the mascara part of the rose I am so in love with those roses then you came out with nothing but boxes of them and I bought several of them also I put them on every card I make

    • Love love love the mascara roses I put in a really long post about those roses and how much they mean to me and it wouldn’t take it so I’m gonna just try to leave it again 90% of the time it won’t take my posts

  • All of the cards are just great – thank you so very much for sharing them ! Got a few ideas to incorporate into my cards.
    Until next week ………….

I love the vintage Halloween embellishments, the papers are beautiful & everyone seems to add something special that makes it personal. You’re all wonderful.

    crafting when I return. People are amazing. Love today’s ideas. Thx for sharing.

    Bravo to all who shared their lovely projects.

  • Anna, you must have your own mail truck that comes to your studio. There are so many great ideas I am always in awe of your post from your post.

  • So many inspirational ideas. I love seeing what other crafters are doing. I try to copy some of their ideas but seem to like the originals better.

  • Really pretty and fun projects today. I just finished making the 18 cards from the Carte Noel box. A sneak preview to my nieces brought squeals of which house do I get! I have to go back and tweak my cards to show off the steps under the door. Next waiting for my new Halloween assortments from HSN craft day.

  • Vanessa’s page is done the way I do pages for my oldest daughter, pretty, clean and pictures first. Suravi I like that you got more pictures on the page, very pretty i scrapbook with more pictures and embellishments. Sally i have not done a page with that big of a pictrue but I will have to try it, geogouse, love it.
