Hi crafters,

We hope that you have had a great week, and today we are so glad that you are here! We have lots of fun St. Patrick’s Day cards, thank you cards and some great easel cards to share with you today. Getting mail from you and sharing it weekly is one of our very favorite things in the whole world! We are inspired by you week after week!

Come see what we received from some truly talented crafters!

Marcey sent this pretty gold and green St. Patrick’s Day card! She writes to thank us for the birthday greetings we sent her, and she is having a great time with friends and cardmaking!

We are so happy to know Carol! She is drawn to a lot of our products because of their European look. She had so much fun on Craft Day, and looks forward to sending more cards for Fan Mail Friday. We look forward to receiving them!

Laurel had never won anything before winning our Win It Wednesday giveaway a few weeks ago! She is involved in a card ministry with a close friend and loves our card kits! You are very welcome for your win, Laurel!

Take at the pretty card Adalene sent! She also won on one of our Win It Wednesday posts, and sent this lovely card as a thank you.

Another Anna, Anna in Savannah, mailed us this beautiful St. Patrick’s Day card. She was inspired by a tutorial in Finishing School, and mailed this (her third) card to us for Fan Mail Friday!

Valerie is looking forward to spring in central Illinois, and made the most gorgeous spring clock easel card! Thank you so much for the sweet gifts, they are very appreciated! You are too kind, friend!

Sherry’s St. Patrick’s Day card is so dimensional and perfect for the day! We love how 3D your project is, along with all of the beautiful Irish elements and jaunty Irish blessing on the back!

Our friend Vickey wished everyone an awesome St. Patrick’s Day! We hope that yours was great as well, and that you have a wonderful week!

Crafting is therapy for Phoebe! She loves crafting with others, volunteers with crafts in her local Independence, Missouri community and joined us for Create! Thank you so much for the beautiful journal, Phoebe! We will treasure it forever!

What delightful mail! All of the cards and projects we received this week has made us feel so special and loved. This circle of friends means so much to us, and we are thankful for the opportunity to get to know you through your cards, letters, crafts and through social media and the blog. If you would like to submit a project for Fan Mail Friday, please mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324.

Until next week,

Anna

  • I would like to pin some of these lovely creations for inspiration. Why has the pinning been disabled in recent days?

  • Every card is so beautiful and festive. I have really enjoyed working with your beautiful offerings. I have been a crafter most of my life from leather stamping, macrame, and wood burning. I only discovered you last November and have so enjoyed learning and creating such beautiful this to share with people. I joined the finishing school his morning and am so excited to learn some more tricks of your trade. Thank you for your beautiful creations.

Anna I was thinking about Spring and Summer projects you already have the best roses, birds and butterflies (request) how about a sticker pack of LADYBUGS AND SUNFLOWERS in bright colors and throw in some of the pretty blue WILDFLOWERS. Everyone have a great weekend.

  • All are quite beautiful..they all inspire use of our dies & embelishments..thanks

  • Thank you for sharing. I am trying to do a card that is worthy of fan mail Friday. I did start Finishing school and made a beautiful card last night. It looks good but I didn’t have the dies that you had ( it was a birthday card) used so I improvised and used a Christmas card. I was pleased with how it turned out. Still enjoying the beautiful dies that I do have.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  • Every day there is nothing that I would ever be disappointed with any of the beautiful work that all these talented crafters submit. Each one is better than the next and next. Keep all your talent coming..

  • What beautiful creations. Listening to Anna as she showed the box from Valerie brought tears to my eyes. My mom used to send me “goodie” boxes of little things that made her think of me or that she thought I’d like. I try to do the same with my daughter — and every box includes a card and a hand written note. My mom was one of a dying breed that still wrote hand written letters — there was no texting, no emails — they were handwritten. I had saved some of them and cherish each one as my mother has now passed. Thank you Anna (and Valerie) for brining back wonderful memories for me.

    • Cheryl you are so kind. My sweet Mom passed unexpectedly last June so I can relate. She was the one who taught me about generosity 🌺
      Blessings to you!

  • Anna,
    It is heartwarming, knowing that your fans spend their time and resources to make you such beautiful cards. i love seeing them!
    Thank you for sharing!
    Love,
    Adina
