Fan Mail Friday – Extremely Grateful

By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 89

Hello crafters,

Fridays are for fan mail, and we have excellent things to show you today! On the table is an array of thank you cards, St. Patrick’s Day projects and even a few sweet valentines. We have a lot of crafting happening to get ready for our shows on HSN beginning Tuesday at midnight and then 1am, 12pm and 6pm for Anna Griffin Elegant Papercrafting. We hope that you will join us for a 24 hour Craft Day! Don’t forget that if you don’t have HSN on your television, you can always watch live online!

Let’s see what has come into the office this week!

Joyce sent in this beautiful Salon Nouveau card with such a gorgeous, intricate design. Joyce was a Win It Wednesday winner and loves her new crafting community. We are so glad to have you, Joyce!

Michelle sent in a lovely thank you card made with the Fancy French Frame Dies and pretty embellishments.

Take a look at this gorgeous card from Tracy. From the Fancy French Frame diecuts and the pretty flowers to the heart, made with the Sweetheart Impression Dies and warm wishes, we love it all!

Linda sent love by way of a lovely pulley card. Thank you for sending this pretty card!

We have a new friend in Vivian! Vivian has a creative background, had lots of fun during Create 7 and is a new Finishing School member. Thank you for the gorgeous card!

Look at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Day projects that Beth made. We love that Beth commemorates holidays in such a wonderful way.

Isn’t it easy to see why we love Fridays? This community is so special, and we love getting to know you through your incredible letters, cards and projects. If you would like to submit something for Fan Mail Friday, then you can send it to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We can’t wait to hear from you! If you love connecting with our community and crafting, then be sure to reserve your spot for our Create Crop at Home 2 event this May 13th-15th. Limited tickets are available here!

Love,

Anna

    Please, please bring more to the UK. I adore it ! I am desperate for those wonderful art nouveau dies. I had the snowflake wonderland kit out and really enjoyed a wintry weekend here in Whitley bay North East England, learning new things at finishing school..
    Many thanks

  • All the cards are beautiful. They give me ideals to use in my card making. I’m kinda new at making cards. I truly enjoy making them and seeing other peoples creations. I would love to know how to make the box. Thanks for sharing Anna.

  • As always such beautiful cards. I like that the cards displayed some of the impression dies and the Irish/St. Patrick’s day theme.

  • The Fancy French Frame Dies were shown to delight us on the many cards. Salon Neuvieu (sp?) cards were so ornate also. But the most delightful showings were Beth’s amazing creations. Did you ever think you would inspire such incredible crafts, Anna? These are really incredibly done.

  • I get such good ideas from seeing others creations! Thank you all so much for sharing your talent! 💗

  • I am amazed and all Beth created! Wow, just wow!! The boxes with the goodies especially the chocolates…I want learn how to make those!!
    My ears really perked up when you mention new Cricut/SVG files!! If I understand correctly it’s for those enrolled in your Finishing School which is a monthly or yearly subscription?

  • I love Fan Mail Friday. It is such a treat to see all the beautiful cards sent to Anna. I treasure the ideas I get from the cards on display. Anna Griffin fans are the best!

  • Please help me. Could you tell me where I can pick up reinkers so I can freshen up my old ink pads, I haven’t used them in a long time, they have never been open. My best friend lost her life. She is the one that got me into card making. When she past I didn’t touch my things. Well I. Have gotten into making cards, but ink pads are dry, please help me. Love Carol.

  • Such amazing projects but especially Beth’s projects. She never ceases to amaze me! And YAHOO for SVG’s for finishing school. You know this cricut loving girl is on board for that! Thanks Anna! Looking forward to March 1st

  • This was a week with wonderful ideas. I will be rewatching again and again to see the exact details. I hope everyone agrees that borrowing and copying ideas is a form of flattery. Because I borrow a lot of ideas. I wouldn’t want to offend anyone. Remember, I am just praising your work. Creativity doesn’t seem to come that naturally to me. I seem to need to learn it from all of you who were just born with the creative genes.

  • Special thanks to all the crafters that share there creatively on the blog.
    Griffinites tune in to see and veg out on the creativity of others!!!

  • Good morning…lovely cards today.
    I am also having problem of my comments not showing up. I have checked all the boxes and go back periodically to the time of when I submitted my comments and they just do not show up. So I will be surprised if this shows up but one can always hope.

  • So many wonderful cards! I love the boxes, too. I’m hoping to work on some cards this weekend. Thank you for the inspiration.
