Hello!

Fan Mail Friday is FULL of gorgeous projects this week. We have received a bounty of kindness in letters, cards and gifts. What started out as a blog post to show off your work has become a weekly exhibition of outstanding craft projects! Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. We love hearing all about you! Just watch!

Joyce sent us a fancy box of chocolate from PA that will be enjoyed by all of us here in the office. We can sure use a little extra energy to get all of the orders out the door!

We are still marveling at your color combinations Linda! Vellum, flocking, flowers and foil…oh my!

If “life is like a box of chocolates” then this box from Marianne is a beautiful life indeed!

Our friend Anabel has gone over and above with her building this week. This gorgeous album is going to be home to some of our favorite photos!

JoAnn you took our breath away with this extraordinary card. That’s what we call The Season’s Greetings!

Mary, thank you so much for all of this beautiful work! Your Empress Mini has been busy.

Cards and Kitties are the best combination! Thank you Sharon for sharing both with us!

We love your Shutter Card, Elaine. It has such beautiful color combinations!

That was a Fan Mail Friday for the record books! We asked and you delivered your “firsts” in the best way possible. Thank you very much for being Beautiful in the Making!

Love,

Anna

  • Hello Anna!

    This Fan Mail Friday was absolutely FABULOUS 👏👏👏

    So many wonderful Create projects galore!

    Great job Griffinites!

    Thank you for making the Album-Making Cutting dies. I make my albums from scratch and it’s always a pain to make the spine part and now with your die, it’s a piece of cake! Lol

    I’m having fun making projects using all the new techniques I learned from you at Create 6!

    Looking forward for Create 7 (already in my calendar).

    Happy Holidays 🎄☃️🎅

  • These are all so beautiful. That was the most impactful thing I learned from Create 6, that Beauty in the Making, is possible for anyone, no matter their level of crafting capabilities with all of your kits! I adore the Gingerbread house!!!
    Thank you Anna and team for the amazing job you all do for us!!!

  • Such beautiful cards and creations. Love seeing cards from Create 6. I had such a wonderful time during Create 6.

    Too many Christmas projects to do. But I promise you will get a Thank You card from me for Create 6. You know they always say Better late than never. 😊

    Love Annabelle’s Christmas Album. Now that would be a fun project to take on. Hint hinr does she YouTube?

    Happy Crafting!

  • Such beautiful items, so many talented crafters out there, Anna. With your wonderful products, you’ve made it easier for me too. I’m still behind these works of arts, and throughout enjoy getting ideas from the items sent to you. Thank you for sharing.

    Sincerely,

      Happy Holidays,

      Mrs. Santa who sent Anna a letter:-)

  • Hello Miss Anna & Team,

    Wow, wow, WOW! The gorgeousness and abundance of talent shared on Fan Mail Friday today is absolutely astounding! Thank you for sharing it with us. I can’t think of a better recipient!

    Sending hugs to you….

  • Anna,

    I can’t copy and paste the link to get to your video.
    Can you make it live?

    Yes, I can type it out but that’s the long way around the barn!

    See what you can do…please o’ please.

  • Anna, this may sound silly but one of my all time favorite dies I’ve dies I’ve ever ordered from you (and there have been hundreds) that little BELLY BAND is right at the top of my list. That thing is so fun because you can just throw any thing on there and you have an instant way to put any card over the top.

    I have belly bands everywhere. I used up so many of those little left overs I had and everything I made was a little treasure.

    How about some lacey ones?

  • Hi I so enjoyed watching your video Anna. I am inspired by your actual video that I used to receive for your fan mail Friday as well as weekly craft inspirations. Now I only get this blog without any video. Can you help me get your videos as well? Thank you for all the inspiration you do.

  • Hello Anna,
    Oh my goodness, what a
    special FMF!!! It has to be
    the best I’ve ever seen!!!

  • So many inspiring projects from the fan mail! My jaw dropped quite a few times when I saw the innovative way crafters interpreted different uses of the dies. I definitely want to try a few of these out!

  • I don’t think I have enjoyed a presentation more than this one. Every card was an inspiration. The expertise in the making was flawless. Anna your products and instruction
    shine though with each of the items presented for Fan Mail Friday today. Thanks for sharing.

  • Wow! Beautiful in the making simply cannot describe the beauty made today. Don’t even ask me to pick a favorite … because I can’t. Phenomenal! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      not see it come up, hence, I
      reposted. Please excuse the
      typos also, not my day 🙂.

  • Hello Anna & Team 🙂 Wow I so enjoyed FMF this week too! It was just like being back at Create 6 at Home. Every type of card whether a shutter easel or an actual box was a feast for the eyes! 🤩
    Thanks to everyone who shared their more than amazing creations with us. Take care.

  • I would Love to know where the angel ornament is from. I want my pastor friend to have one of those..it is gorgeous.

  • As a miniaturist, I loved Princess’ open house door with the ballroom scene inside. Great inspiration.

    I was glad to see so many of the gatefolds-that has become one of my go-to dies for the season because it is so versatile. I’ve used it for birthdays, get well and sympathy cards.

    I also loved Karen’s use of tissue paper. The card is beautiful, and I’ve put embossing tissue paper on my technique learn-how-to list.

    Annabelle the Builder’s creations are always beautiful and inspiring.

    Thank you for sharing these with us.
