Fan Mail Friday – You Are Thoughtful!

By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 49

Hello crafters,

Happy Friday to you! It has been a big week for us, and we are so happy that you joined us for our shows on HSN this past Tuesday. Our Merry Craftsmas shows were so much fun, and we really kicked off holiday crafts in the best way. If you missed any of our appearances, you can shop the show here.

We received the prettiest mail this week and we are excited to share it with you. There’s everything from Christmas in July cards to thank you’s and birthday cards. Let’s get started!

Jo Ann sent the prettiest card! What a great idea to take your slimline cards and turn them into an easel. Call us inspired, Jo Ann!

A card with flowers and a bow on it.

Our friend Robin made the most gorgeous diorama card full of beautiful details. Thank you so much, Robin! From the Rose Concentric Dies to the pretty flowers, everything is lovely!

A pink and gold card with roses on it.

Here is the inside of Robin’s card. Everything is just so pretty!

An open book with flowers and a poem.

It is so much fun to hear from new Griffinites! Jeanette just became an AG Member and made 2 stunning cards for Fan Mail Friday. She wrote that she was having a blast trying to think outside the box using our products!

Lenita is so excited all things fall (us too!) and for Christmas in July! Stay cool in Miami, Princess!

Terry sent this stunning card and sweet teapot. In her letter she said, “May you have all the love your heart can hold, all the happiness a day can bring and all the blessings a life can unfold.” So sweet!

We love, love, love getting cards in the mail. It’s our absolute very favorite thing! If you would like to send something to our office, you can mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We love to see what you are crafting and hear about what has been happening in your lives.

Next week, we have an amazing birthday themed AGTV show on Wednesday, August 2nd at 12pm Eastern. We hope that you will join us for an hour of crafting, special deals, bundles and more.

Our Create 9 event will be here before you know it! If you haven’t reserved your space yet, then you will want to get your ticket now. This is the crafting event of the year, and we are busy preparing the most incredible content for our 3 day weekend together. Find out everything that you need to know at the link.

Xoxo,

Anna

  • Sooo excited for Create 9 !!! Always amazing new products. Counting the days to see what’s new.

  • The most beautiful cards . A great inspiration for Anna Griffin’s Burthday!

  • They are all fantastic. I just can’t single any one card. Fan mail Fridays are fantastic. They post such beautiful cards and provide creative ideas. Thank you to everyone.

  • All of the cards are extra special every Fan mail Friday because they are sent with so much love for Anna and the AG Team. These are gorgeous and I never tire admiring all the beauty and creativity that abounds within us all. Thank you for sharing.

  • This was an inspirational Fan Mail Friday. Looking forward to seeing what creations Anna’s Birthday month brings! 🙂

  • Such pretty cards! Terry’s card was my favorite and the sentiment inside was so beautiful. I loved the colors, dies and embellishments used. I hope to free up some time for crafting again soon and am full of inspiration from all the AG crafters. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend everyone.

  • Awe, these cards are so delightful and well thought out. I particularly love the Flower Shop with you in it Anna. Everything is inspiring and beautiful.

    Happy upcoming birthday Anna! You deserve the best for your special day and always. You are so special to all of us, especially to me. I spend lots of my time crafting and thinking of you! We talk about you like you are our girlfriend. Thanks for all you do for us.

  • Anna, I’ve always wondered, do you save all of your Fan mail? They are too amazing to discard, but by now, you must have a warehouse full. Is there someone on your staff who catalogs and counts them all? I would be interested to know if you keep count. Can’t wait for my Merry Craftmas purchases to arrive. I bought luxury cardstock, old fashioned truck die set and flower cart Christmas pack. And lots more!!!

  • Anna I think you wore just about the prettiest blouses I have ever seen. Like a special garden. The cards were amazing. We are still talking about that Saturday with you and the California Griffinites.

  • Kelly, there are no words to express condolences for the loss of your only child. Please know that you are not alone. I am glad that you found Anna and her team. Crafting is so much more than fun. It is therapeutic and healing. I do hope your memories bring you comfort when the grief overwhelms you.

    Such beautiful birthday wishes for a beautiful lady. I hope your Birthday will one of the best you have ever had.

    I do love seeing everything we send you.
    Happy Crafting!

  • All so lovely! I am enjoying the Christmas Wishes box and look forward to receiving the Birthday Wishes box soon. My church ladies will have great fun with Christmas card-making next week. Thanks, Anna, for sharing your treasure trove of craft items.

  • Anna, love all the cards, each one made your smile grow. Your blouse was a summery flower cart. Terry’s card was a perfect match to the teapot, It was a beautiful romantic design of color combinations. I so enjoy what every one is inspired to send. Thank You all.

  • All the cards shown are absolutely beautiful. I especially liked Robin’s card. Thanks for sharing.

  • Happy Fri-Yay!! Today’s projects are simply stunning – love them all. Thank you, everyone, for sharing. Sending blessings and wishes for an amazing weekend! 😊 ❤️

  • Terry: Your card is just fantastic. I would like to know what dies you used to make it.

  • I love the Anna Flower Shop beyond adorable
    And what a great idea rub on for oyster shells
    Have a beautiful Crafting Day

  • This fanmail Friday was a day to make everyone feel special! The cards were stunning and oh so pretty. A nice shout out to all those who submitted cards. Thank you to you all.

  • Anna,
    Love these card ideas! The paper dolls added to the Flower Shop and Flower Cart creations reminded me to request more paper dolls and people embellishments of all types and historical eras. It’s so fun to add inhabitants to our crafting worlds!

    I’m expecting a new shipment of brilliant Anna products any day! Keep them coming!

    Wishing you the best always,

    Mary Humphries
