By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 61

Hello friends,

Happy Friday to you! It has been quite the week! Thank you all so much for joining us on HSN for our 12th anniversary shows. We had such a good time crafting and hope that you did too! We have more creative events coming your way, so mark your calendars! Tune in for our Facebook Live Tuesday, January 25th at 12pm EST, February 17th for Finishing School Live, March 3rd for HSN Craft Day, and Anna Griffin | Create Crop at Home (information coming soon) May 13th-15th and more! Make sure that you are signed up for our email list to be in the know!

Today’s Fan Mail Friday is short and sweet!

Our friend Deb sent such a gorgeous card. She loves her crystal sewing scissor pin, and sent a little thank you.

Look at the beautiful inside of Deb’s card! From the flowers to the scissors, thread and thimble this is so fantastic!

Valerie sent wishes for a Happy 12th Anna-versary. She loves all of our crafts (especially Christmas) and looks forward to more episodes of Anna Griffin Creates!

Willie recorded and watched our HSN shows, and is inspired by our beautiful crafting items. Thank you, Willie!

It’s so nice to hear from Cindy! She loves to make elaborate scrapbooks for her granddaughter and make cards!

Barbie used her Concertina Dies to make the prettiest valentine! She made about 50 cards over the last few months, and is now making one Christmas card a week. This eliminates stress and allows her to enjoy the holiday season. She also sent one of her lovely angel ornaments. Thank you, Barbie!

So pretty!

Fan Mail Friday is such a treat. We have the most beautiful community and we appreciate you so much! Thank you for the anniversary wishes, thank you notes and hellos.

If you would like to submit a card or project for Fan Mail Friday, we would love to hear from you! You can send fan mail to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We will see you next week!

Bye for now,

Anna

  • I just love your square cards; they are so unique and beautiful. I purchased quite a few items on HSN and can’t wait to get them..,

  • Not sure I can post another comment. Will try. Thank you Anna I just won the Grand Impression Collage Card Toppers so will be thrilled to receive them. Ordered recently from HSN and your Blog as needed different items from each. Did get the Impression Cards and Envelopes so am so happy they didn’t run out. However I alway miss the #689-31 Fanciful Concentric Cut and Emboss Dies they are so beautiful. Will have to
    keep checking hope you do get more. Will check out the sewing dies as I loved Deb’s card especially the sentiment. Have never used any of the pop out die sets so will check them out. Anna you have helped me get through many surgeries as creativity is a great healer I find. You give such inspiration and love to your fans. Hope to get the confidence to send you a Thank you card as those sent in are all so creative and beautiful. Thank you to you and your team for all their hard work. Know it makes others soooo happy…..

  • Each card is so uniquely beautiful. But, would love to have Deb’s card in my craft room.
    Recently I almost died my Hemoglobin went down to a 2. So the sentiment Live Every
    moment meant so much to me! Don’t believe I have that Sentiment can anyone tell me what set it comes from? Anna if you know could you tell me as I would so like to make a card using the sewing dies! Deb, just love the button and thimble pin so creative. Your card made my evening. Thank you for sharing it.

  • I replied already so hopefully it will let me add a new reply. Have you thought about setting up a pin pal group so those of us on other sides of the country can make cards and send them to each other? I don’t have a lot of family so havingnsomeone to exchange cards with could be fun. Just a suggestion. Thanks for listening.

  • Beautiful creations from some talented artists! I have a suggestion: I think it is time to change your shelves in the background on your HSN set. Those are beautiful cards and scrapbook pages, but they need to be updated to some of your newer projects. You have come out with some of the most innovative designs for your die cuts and accessories. It is time to showcase them in the 2022 season. You have added a beautiful touch with the fresh flower arrangements each show, why not do the same for your background cards and projects? 2022 is going to be the year of HOPE. Hope that we get to see Grandma and Grandpa, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends. Hope for healing from Covid and any other illnesses. For me personally, hope that I can continue to make cards and other projects that give me such joy to send to everyone I know. Thanks Anna, for listening to me this fine Sunday morning and hope your week is special in every way and Happy 12 to you and your staff.

  • I ordered soooo many things from hsn that you developed. I am really anxious for everything to arrive.

  • Happy 12th Ann-iversary! Enjoyed the HSN craft day this week. I watched it live and recorded it so I can rewatch to get more ideas. Looking forward to the next craft day.

  • Beautiful creations as always.
    So excited for the second annual Create Crop@Home!! I may have to put my Birthday money towards that instead of Finishing School.
    Perhaps the break of no crafts on HSN in February will help me save up.
    Happy Crafting!!

  • It’s always so much fun to see everyone’s beautiful creations! Thanks for sharing. 😊

  • Awaiting my latest order to start making Valentine’s cards; I can hardly wait!!
    Thank you for sharing your fan mail, Anna.

  • Beautiful cards from everyone. Happy 12th Anniversary with HSN. Have received some of my goodies from Tuesday. Looking forward to making some cards this weekend. Have a great weekend. We are getting snow right now. Perfect crafting weather.

  • Greatest card kits ever. I along with everyone else would love to win anything Anna Griffin.

  • Anna:
    These cards are spiking my interest to start making Valentine cards. Hopefully my Anniversary spending spree will arrive on Monday. Anxiously awaiting my finds.
    Thank you everyone.
    Anna thank you for keeping us stretching our imaginations. Have a great, safe weekend.

    We all love you so much Anna, and again I love that new denim dress you are wearing and love the scarf around the neck well sort of around the neck. You look beautiful in denim!

  • Thank you, Miss Anna, for featuring my Valentine card and angel ornament to you! It is such a honor and I am glad you liked it. I thought everyone’s cards were beautiful too! Good job, ladies and can’t wait to see what everyone makes next week!

  • Today has been a great day two doses of Anna. I enjoyed and again am inspired by all that I have taken in today with this Blog and Finishing school live. I am always thankful for having these experiences.

  • Beautiful FMF.
    I enjoyed your HSN 12th AnnAversary
    Just got off FS. It was my first Live FS
    It was a blast.
    Loved your lessons Thanks for the extended design lessons

  • My FIRST Fan mail Friday. What a treat to see what your fans have made for you and your staff. Beautiful cards! I’m looking forward to finishing school!

  • Love the inspiration…waiting on my order from HSN and todays order from AG…yes I am a little impatient…just love it when my packages come and I get to create beautiful things…I have loved everything I have gotten and find that I use them immediately…loved the live Finishing School today…so much inspiration…heading to my craft table now.

  • Love every single one of these. I came from family of seamstresses from my Grandmother, Mother myself and my sisters. we had 3 old Singer treadle machines that we kept very busy, so I was really smiling at Deb’s card. But when I discovered Anna, I found my favorite craft. So I thank you so much, because at my age now (73) its really nice for something to keep mind occupied in these difficult days.

  • Thank you for the great ideas for the sewing cut/emboss dies! As usual everything is beautiful.

  • The angel ornament is so beautiful and the other projects are adorable also. Love them all.

  • what delightful Projects, I love the sewing accessory dies. they make such charming cards…

  • Pretty cards, looking forward to seeing more Valentine’s Day cards. It was great seeing you on HSN again Anna. I filled my cart and can’t wait to get my treasures. I had also ordered some dies and Your beautiful glitter paper from you. I just received them yesterday. You have the best quality paper by far and not to mention the most beautiful! I have been having trouble posting comments on your blog. They don’t usually go through anymore. One did on Wednesday but they normally don’t anymore. Not sure why. Let’s hope this one does.💕

  • Patiently waiting for everything I ordered from HSN! Please Mr. Postman deliver today! Love all the cards, the look fantastic.

  • Pretty cards. Looking forward to seeing more beautiful Valentine’s Day cards. It was good to see you on HSN again. I filled my cart, can’t wait to get my treasures. I also ordered more paper and dies from you and received them yesterday. I got your glitter paper and as always ,it’s the best paper out there. 💕

  • Oh my goodness, these cards are above beautiful. I love the mascara roses on one card. I wish I had purchased them but am waiting for my sets of dies now. Exciting.

  • So beautiful! I went back to HSN and upgraded to the Empress machine along with all the new dies and the Crate Noire (I think that is how it was spelled) card kit that was on autoship. Once everything comes I think I will make my first Fan Mail Friday item and send it. My Granddaughters love making cards too and I may have to send one of theirs too!

  • Lots of pretty pinks and reds today! And everyone did a gorgeous job! I love Fan Mail Friday as much as Craftspiration Thursday because I see so much I want to try. Thank you to all the crafters who share!

  • Hello Anna & Team

    Happy Fan Mail Friday! Whenever I see the pretty valentine cards on your blog, it reminds me of those fancy boxes of chocolate…Lol I am certain you will receive many more valentines in the weeks to come. I am glad that you received your Anna-versary card from me! I am so blessed to be part of this wonderful group of crafters and artists.

    Blessings
