Hello crafters.

Happy Thursday to you! We hope that all of you have had a wonderful week, and we are so happy to share all of the incredible things that have been made and shared on our social media channels. We are seeing more and more holiday items pop up, so if you are looking for Christmas card ideas, then you are in the right place. Speaking of inspiration, we hope that you will join us tomorrow Friday, September 30th, 2022 at 12pm on AGTV for Outside the Box. It’s going to be an amazing hour of crafting, product bundles, guests and so much more. We are so excited to be able to provide you with original streaming from our new platform! You can watch on our website; quick and easy!

Come see what projects your talented peers have created!

Terry said, “Happy morning friends! Feeling grateful today for Anna’s fabulous products that mix & match so well! From the bottom, the dies are Rose Concentric, Concertina & Fanciful Concentric. Papers are from the Thankfulness & Holiday Hearth collections.”

Dayle wrote, “Just put the finishing touches on my take of the castle place card class from finishing school live.”
Very pretty, Dayle!
Jane posted, “Still having fun making Halloween cards!”
Yvonne posted, “Created a birthday card with the Carte Noire papers, Rose 3D Concentric and Fancy French Frame dies. Sentiment was made with the Cartouche Cut and Embossing Folders. Everything went together so beautifully!”
Your card is gorgeous!
Shirley posted, “It’s my anniversary this week so I was excited to use my new Fantastic Flip Die 2 to make a card for my guy. This set is amazing as it contains extra die to make beautiful embellishments. I used the Treasury stamp and die set to create the sentiment.”

Jane said, “I crafted this totally Anna Griffin card art with enough die cuts & ephemera to make 3 to 4 cards!! She’s as beautiful as my mother, Mary Ellen.”

Nora wrote, “I made “updated” Santa Suit ornaments using the Carte Homme dies. Paper doll outfits for guys! All Anna Griffin except for the hanger, hat and phone.”

These are so much fun for Christmas!
Mary I had a few leftover bases from the Holiday Spinner kit; but I didn’t have many of the accessories left. So I used fronts from the Christmas Acetate Cards collection and Holiday Jacket inserts to create some fun cards.
Great cards, Mary! We love how you made something totally new from the items you had on hand!

Barbara said, “The Gentlemanly Skeleton, made from the Carte Homme Finishing School Craft Box and the Witchy Card Making Set.”

Dunia shared, “A mini album using the castle dies.”

Leigh wrote, “I knew when I saw this die what I wanted to make. I’m in love with this. I will add a side views in comments. The sentiment was perfect. XOXO.”

Theresa shared, “I have been working with the Fabulous Folded embellishment papers and have been inspired by the Gentleman’s Finishing School project as well as the the recent Holiday houses project.”

Such a cute card!

Sherry said, “What fun I had making this birthday card with my new Neoclassical Concentric Frame Dies. I used the Fancy French Frame dies for the easel portion of the card and the Neoclassical Frame Dies to finish the card off using Paisley papers and embellishments along with some fussy cutting for accent. A picture showing a side view of the card is below.”

What a fun project, Sherry.

Adina posted, “This isn’t a card. This isn’t a scrapbook page. It’s just a photo that I want to display. It is a small photo that needed to be Anna-fied!”

Wonderful page, Adina!

Maria shared, “Just loved working on my new Christmas cards!! I think it’s going to be a nice surprise for my family and friends!!”

Mary posted, “I wanted to make a special anniversary card for friends that I introduced to each other. I thought a date in a gazebo with a lovely bottle of wine would be very romantic. Thanks to Anna, I could picture that for them!”

Mary shared, “These pumpkin sisters are looking “lovely in lavender” and “pretty in pink”!”

These are too cute!

Beth said, “A few of you asked if I came up with a railroad station to go along with the 3D train to post it. I found a 3D Gingerbread house project In Cricut Access and with a few modifications converted it into a train station. I also made a Railroad Crossing sign to complete my Christmas scene. I used the light and dark red brick papers from the new Hearth collection along with the gate from the Halloween spider and specter 2 dies and garland stickers from the Carte Noel FS kit.”

Marie posted, “I decided I wanted a Halloween street full of townhouses and what better display base than the twist and pop. I haven’t used this die set in ages but had a lot of fun with this.”

Sharilyn said, “Was a little intimidated but it turned out good. Easier than I thought.”

Loraine posted, “I don’t have the new Carte Noel Box so I used to Holiday House Dies to make the Tri-fold Card.”

This is lovely, Loraine!

Loraine also made this card!

“Project 3 Finishing School Live. I must be getting more organized it didn’t take me as long to make these! Thanks Anna & Team for the great inspiration!”

There were so many wonderful projects made this week! There are a few cards that we need to re create because they are so great. Thank you for sharing your creations with us, and keep posting your cards, scrapbook pages and paper projects. We will post more of your amazing work next week! Join us on AGTV tomorrow for Outside the Box at 12pm; it’s going to be a fun time together!

Bye for now,

Anna

  • So many creative and wonderful ideas. Combining several different card and die sets into fabulous creations.

  • Awesome display of creativity 😍 I continue to wait each week to see how to up my game.

  • I’ve always been a proverbial “plain Jane“ card maker, going by the Press promise of less is more. However, after seeing the stunningly beautiful cards on your blog, Facebook page, and AGTV, I’m getting a creative “itch” to try layering. I’ve purchased some new dyes, within my budget and I’ve started playing around with different papers and embossing folders.

    Thank you for helping this caterpillar build a cocoon.

  • Your cards are amazing! I’ve enjoyed making the Christmas cards for several years. They’re beautiful!!

  • Anna, lots of inspiration this week. I really like the Carte Homme Dies for the San.ta Suits.
    I’m looking forward to the show on ATV tomorrow.

  • I am an Anna Griffin addict and have the large embosser and endless supplies, but I have
    difficulty getting the die cuts to turn out flawlessly – generally I have to toss my efforts, but I certainly enjoy seeing the works of arts from the creative card masters!

  • Great cards and projects !!! I sure would like to meet Barbara’s GENTALMANLY SKELETON friend what a fun card.

  • Still laughing over the purple & pink shaker pumpkins! Love your creativity! The castle album looks fun. Wished we could see inside. I just finished an album for a new baby & because of not measuring correctly ended up with 14 pages! I just appreciate everything you all submit. I never think mine is post worthy!

  • The cards are all breathtaking. Such a talented group of crafters. I think I need a basics course, never sure how to layer flowers on a project.

  • I love anything Christmas or Fall
    I would love to win the new Christmas dies as I am just starting out

  • Wow those are some amazing cards
    makes me want to start making my
    christmas cards early
    Great job everyone

  • What awesome projects! They are all very inspirational and the Santa suits from Carte Homme dies was great. So fun seeing all of the cards. Thanks everyone for sharing.

  • Oh my goodness!! The entire month has shown us incredible work!! dies and gents you are all your very best creative journey! Such a treat to see what others are creating and this month “creating” is a perfect description! Amazing work, thank you for sharing.

  • Wow what a collection of great looking cards
    it makes me want to start my christmas making
    early.

  • All cards are gorgeous! One day, soon I hope, I will be able to make beautiful cards like these. Great inspiration and ideas for the dies I do have.

  • Absolutely gorgeous cards. Very creative and inspiring. Hope someday I can be that inspired and creative. You always give us challenges to look forward to accomplishing.

  • Wow – such wonderful and varied creativity! I love this time of year in paper crafting – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall, Winter, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years and all the other celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries, babies and weddings – all converging for a frenzy of making. Craftspiration is just a perfect word!!

  • These cards are breathtaking. What an awesome job to everyone. Hats off to you all.

  • Hello Anna, & Greetings to all the Griffinites

    Each and every project shown is a wow!

    Blessings

  • All of the projects are too cute. Wow all of you are so talented and creative. Great job everyone.

  • All of the cards are amazing! I am particularly impressed with the use of unexpected papers and creative use of dies. Someday I hope to achieve this level of excellence.Thank you all for sharing!

  • Wow, not one “sleeper” in the whole collection today! Each individual project is amazing, and there is so much variety! Well done, “Griffinites”!

  • Wow so much Creativity, the new ideas keep on coming in…. I am around to be a member of the Ann Griffin Community.

  • I love the window paper choice on the castle place card. I wish I had that ability to choose unusual paper design and combinations. I could not quilt because I needed everything to match and choosing colors and designs drove my brain into fatigue. I have to get over this though. Thank you Anna for card kits, that helps a lot for people like me.

  • Everything all so nice. Beautifully crafted. Ushering in Fall and Halloween 🎃 👻💀🦇 in such a fun and fabulous way. Thanks for sharing Anna.

  • Gosh, this week is really filled with great work – can’t say there is one that I don’t like.
    Can’t wait for tomorrow to see AG Live !
    Michele

  • Wow, such creativity! Love how people show the versatility of the dies, I would never have thought of some of these, thanks for sharing!

  • All of these are simply amazing! Beth, your engineering skills are superior to anything I could ever imagine. Bravo!
    ~Renee

  • Well–it seems that there are many much more talented card makers out there than me!
    They all show so much creativity. My favorites though are the two from Tina, The pumpkin easel, Sherry’s three little very adorable dresses and the last one….but they are ALL wonderful! I need to get myself VERY busy!!
    Looking forward to the HSN show on October 4th…Hopefully the HSN studios have made it through IAN okay (and the surges). Pray for all of the Floridians…and the rest of the places that will be hit by this devastating storm.

  • The cards and projects this past week shown on this blog posting were truly fabulous! Thank you once again for selecting one of my cards to share on your blog. I am truly honored and humbled by this. Thank you Anna!❤️🌟💖
