Hi Griffinites,

Friday is finally here, and we get to share this week’s amazing fan mail with you! It’s fun to see some holiday cards coming into the office for Christmas in July. The best of the best in birthday and holiday crafting is just over a week away! We hope that you are planning to join us on HSN Tuesday, July 25th (EXACTLY 6 months from Christmas). Our shows are planned for 1am, 12pm, 5pm and 9pm; it’s going to be a wonderful time! If you collect our big boxes, you can already grab yours from HSN. We have both the Christmas Wishes Card Making Kit and the Birthday Wishes Card Making Kit available now.

Grab your coffee and come chat with us!

Marcey from the AZ Griffin Gals sent this pretty purse card in  honor of Christmas in July. We hope that you are enjoying this summer too!

Sandy in St. Pete made this very merry card! She asked for us to bring back our Tropical Card Stock for all of the crafters in Florida; we just added to our product requests!

How pretty is this red, white and blue card from Jan? It’s great to hear from you, friend!

Jan sent this pretty thank you card for goodies she received from sweet Griffinite, Kathleen Clarke. The combination of flowers is lovely!

As always, it’s so good to hear from you! We love getting to know you through your cards and letters each week. From long time friends to brand new Griffinites, we want to receive your gorgeous cards! If you would like to send something in to us for Fan Mail Friday, please mail it to our office at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. Next week, we have our July Finishing School Live on AGTV. Together we will create 3 wonderful projects, have a special guest, giveaways and much more. You can catch up on our last AGTV shows right on our website!

Collection, Roses, Flowers.

Love,

Anna

  • Loved the patriotic card! So simple & elegant. The tropical Christmas made me laugh! Here in TN we get neither a white Christmas nor a warm Christmas. How fun to decorate a palm tree! Craft Day on HSN is a holiday at my house. Looking forward to it.

  • I have grown to love Fan Mail Friday; people share the most lovely cards and messages of appreciation and caring.

  • Great cards everyone, Marcey your Christmas in July purse is beautiful love the reindeer add on. Sandy your card is perfect for a tropical theme. I could see Anna putting together some fun dies a palm tree, shells and of course a flamingo!!! Jan your cards are LOVELY. Last Christmas Anna had a paper pack called CELEBRATION FOIL CARDSTOCK and it sold out it had GREAT colors reds, blues. Hopefully it will be available again. Everyone have a great weekend, and remember to watch the Finishing School Live coming next week.

  • Looking forward to seeing you the 25th. My intrest is definitely peaked by the scrapbook auto ship . Very exciting!!! Yes yes yes.

  • Beautiful work today from talented crafters. Looking forward to the upcoming shows.

  • Hi Anna. It was so nice to hear you speak about Kathleen Clark. Her request to have her craft supplies distributed to Griffinites was granted by her husband, John. So many of the California Griffinites received some of your beautiful products. I especially loved the older products that you made years ago. I wish you would go back into your archives of gorgeous products and bring them back for all of us experienced crafters and new crafters to purchase again. Everything you have made in the past is gorgeous as well as all your new products! I would also love to see a new tropical card stock version if you can’t bring back the beautiful original one. Here I go again, hoarding what I have left of that set lol! I thoroughly enjoy having my breakfast with you and Fan Mail Fridays! ❤️

  • As always stunning so hard to make a choice I would be over the moon to win anything Anna does. Absolutely beautiful 😍 🤩

  • Such beautiful cards.
    Wonderful requests. More Patriotic YES PLEASE!!
    A scrapbook auto ship DEFINITELY YES PLEASE!! Perhaps you could do a year’s worth of scrapbooking. You could start with January and go through December. You could give us a die that spells out the month and a few dies that match the theme of each month. Or maybe you could do a cut and emboss folder. January snowflakes, a clock (for New Year’s) something surprising for a January birthday. And continue for all the months. I could share tons of ideas with you and your team for a Year’s worth of scrapbooking.
    I hope the California Griffinites have a fun time.
    Happy Crafting!

  • 💗🎂🍰🧁🍭💗
    FYI
    ANNAS BIRTHDAY AUG 5
    LETS ALL SEND HER A CARD!
    We love her she does sooooooo much for us!

  • The cards that are shared this week are stunning. I will be watching next week to see what is in store for Christmas and beyond. By the way, I love your blouse. It is just my style.

  • Excited about all Christmas in July!!
    I’m a CA Griffinite and will be on Zoom Saturday 😃.
    Anna my wish item is a package of BLANK sentiment inserts. You have such lovely stamps I would like to use on them. Inserts add such a special touch to your cards ♥️

    • Anna’s Birthday Aug 5th spread the word please. Let’s ALL send cards

  • I am so looking forward to July 25th. I’m like a little kid waiting for Santa Anna to present all her goodies.
    I always enjoy fanmail Friday. Thanks for sharing.
    Merry Craftmas in July!!!

  • Great Fan Mail Friday, such great ideas from all. Beautiful creations everyone and it is always to come and see what has been created by everyone. Everyone have a great weekend and God bless you all.

  • Thank you Anna and Maggie for sending your requests to bring forth more scrapbooking kits, borders, and scrapbook titles during the year. I was going to write Anna to ask about more title stickers for scrapbooking. I ran out after CAH3.
    Thank you again Anna and Maggie for making my dream come true too.💜

  • Fan Mail Friday Fun! I wish I had more time to make a card to send in, but my time is all accounted for by caretaking. I noticed there are fewer cards, but I absolutely believe it’s because Anna has inspired us so much, that we’re busy working on the projects she presents! We need there to be more hours added to the day so we can craft to our hearts content. I really liked Maggie’s card today. It had Anna’s products but her own personal take on things. Have a great weekend everyone 😊

  • I loved seeing the beautiful cards. I was very sad to hear about Kathy even though I did not know her. I’m thinking of her family. 🙏🏻

  • Whoo hoo!! Wishes and dreams do come true!! Thank you Miss Anna! can’t wait to see what you come up fir a scrapbook autoship!!! So exciting!!!!!!

  • Yes YES YES to scrapbook kits with sentiments, papers, and all kind of lovely things, not just CAH! I would also like more Tropical papers too especially Christmas themed items since I live in Hilton Head! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful makes!

  • Yes please bring back some tropical and seashells for the Florida and tropical griffinites!

  • Yes, yes, yes, for more Florida items. Big and little shells and coral and palm fronds to make a really big palm tree. There are so many more things I can’t think of right now but when you can, please think of beach things. Not the coastal papers for up north but the ones from the south! Can’t wait for the craft show and scurrying aroung trying to get my scrapbook room cleaned up – found some doubles the other day and don’t want to get anymore. lol Bless you for making us all happy and forgetting things we are going through for a couple of hours a day. You are the best!!

  • I would love to see some beachy Christmas dies, since not everyone lives in the cold and snow like me. I can visualize a Santa in his swim trunks, lounging by the ocean in a hammock with a nice cold drink in his hand.

    Lovely cards from everyone who sent them in.

  • Ooo, love the request for scrapbook kits, printed borders etc. Definitely a “YES PLEASE”.

  • Love the idea of a purse Christmas card; especially the inside decorative gift card holder. Very nice idea!

    I am in agreement regarding more patriotic red, white and blue designs in embellishments, dies, embossing folders and papers. Patriotism is celebrated all year long with Flag Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Juneteenth Day and upcoming Presidential Elections, etc. etc.!!!

  • I say yes to more tropical, scrapbook kits, and more ‘red, white, and blue’. Great suggestions.

  • I second the request about tropical dies. Especially palm trees!!! In fact,, multiple sizes and species. Date, Queer, Coconut…. So beautiful.

  • Very COOL stuff today Anna!!! I think the first items I bought on HSN from you were silver tone Christmas swirl dies which I still use. Do not even remember how many years ago that was! I have gotten to be a better crafter since then, but not as talented as many of your fans. Always love to watch and see on line how wonderful we crafters are doing!
