Hi friends,

Creativity abounds on today’s Craftspiration. Holiday crafting is in full swing and that includes many different holidays. You will find Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas on display below from our community of wonderful crafters. Below are just a handful of beautiful cards and projects that have caught our eye today. We love seeing your gorgeous projects posted on our social media channels.

Let’s admire all of the beauty below!

Judy said, “Getting an early start to my holiday cards as I’m anticipating surgery and I’m just loving the Stained Glass Dies! I used two different holographic cardstocks to capture the light behind the stained glass for the Christmas cards along with the small wreath from the Carte Noel which fit beautifully to highlight the clear gem in the top circle. The corner dyes drew the eye down to the stained glass. For the Hanukah cards, I used gilding flakes for the backing and the beautiful Hanukah dies. Just love thinking of new ways to use and combine Anna’s gorgeous dies!”

Barbara shared, “I made this Wishing Well Birthday card after making one from Finishing School. The last AGTV show and Finishing School helped me to understand how to use the embellishments in this kit! I know my Mother-in-law will love it. Thank you for all these awesome kits!”

Gorgeous card!

Terry shared, “Well, hello pumpkins! How pretty you are! My debonair vampire friends, Drac and Vlad, are ready to fly out with the mail. They’re traveling light, so they left the coffins behind and are flying flat in economy class. The inside “singable” sentiment is below in the reply comments, with a nod to ZZ Top.”

This Anna Griffin Inc. Salon Nouveau + the newly launched Black Matte Shiny Foil Cardstock Bundle collab was like A LOT of fun to create! Salon Nouveau Finishing School goes great with Anna’s black shiny cardstock – like peanut butter & jelly = meant to be together!”

  • Everyone’s cards are wonderful. My favorite was the stained glass window with the angel, so beautiful!!! I’m not big into to Halloween as I don’t get any trick or treaters so my Christmas tree goes up on Halloween night, yearly tradition.

    It’s always nice to see what other people have created and the inspiration is contagious.

  • I look forward to seeing all the gorgeous and unique ways people use Anna’s paper products.
    There doesn’t seem to be a limit to the creative ways crafters interpret seasonal and social themes. Seeing how crafters use the card kits and embellishments helps others to also stretch their imaginations when creating a greeting card or a special gift for someone made with beautiful paper products.

  • So inspiring! Love the use of the fall decorations
    The stained glass cards were particularly creative. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • Jo Ann’s Flower Shoppe looks great decked out in a Fall theme. I love all the colors used and the trellis design in the window. I also liked Joyce’s sleigh card. It was very elegant but simply done; I will definitely use this as inspiration when I use that die. Everyone just hits it out of the park week after week, certainly due to their talent and creativity, but also due to Anna’s wonderful products and teachings. Thanks for sharing.

  • I just love all of these cards, I especially love those Stain Glass Windows, what a great idea using that holographic card stock behind the windows it really looks like stained glass. I also love all of Anna’s dies and embellishments for vintage Halloween that reminds me of my childhood Halloweens. I also love the Cornucopia die as it is a real traditional Thanksgiving symbol for giving thanks for all that we have. Great job everyone.
