Fan Mail Friday – The Birthday Celebration Continues!

By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 94

Hello friends,

We are still feeling the birthday love here at the office. We have so many incredible cards and projects that we have several Fan Mail Fridays worth of projects to show you! So, if you don’t see your card here today, don’t worry! We will be bringing you all of the amazing cards, letters and creations in the next few weeks. There are such sweet birthday wishes and we are excited to share the beauty with our community.

Come see all of the celebratory cards!

Susan created this wonderful trio of paper crafts! You can never have too many shoes or purses, can you?

The inside of the purse reveals so many gorgeous details. What a clever card!

Ann sent this pretty pink card with clock for two reasons! One was for birthday wishes and two was to say thank you for the Christmas Celebrations Cardmaking Kit that she won on the blog. You are very welcome, Ann! Enjoy making your holiday cards!

Our friend Sharon wished us the best birthday ever with this lovely Salon Nouveau card. Thank you for the birthday love!

Robert created the prettiest tri-fold card with a fun, antique Anna Griffin detail! He wished us a sweet parade of success, even more friendships and peace.

Here is a look at the inside of Robert’s spectacular card.

This beautiful birdcage and shaped card were made by Vivian. She sent wishes for the happiest and most joyful birthday ever. Vivian, we are thinking of you!

Carri made a fantastic birthday project. Along with the pretty pink card, she sent a gorgeous box filled with this incredible paper cupcake. Wow, what a fun paper project; the floral details are so beautiful! Thank you, Carri!

Just stunning!

Yukari, master papercrafter, sent this lovely box filled with an incredible pop up card.

We love how she used the Cake Easel Card Die to create this incredible pop up in the middle. Yukari, you make such beautiful things!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make and send such thoughtful birthday correspondence. You all are too kind! We also want to wish everyone with an August birthday a very happy birthday too! Join us next week for more birthday fun, friends.

Love,

Anna

  • Anna, all of the Birthday cards are beautiful. I especially like the Bird Cage card. Thank all of you crafters for sharing.

  • Too many pretty creations to pick one as a favorite. I am wondering, though, how in the world Susan made those awesome shoe cards?

  • Carri! The cupcake is mind blowing! I loved all the little paper flowers.
    Yukari used Poppies on her box which are one of the flowers of the month of August. So cool. I hope everyone noticed the strawberry on the cake. I hope it reminds Anna of past birthdays. Very beautiful & thoughtful cards & gifts.

  • All I can say is WOW! The shoes and purse are incredible! The box with cupcake has got to be one the best ideas I have ever seen. Master Crafter is the word. I wish I could craft 1/10th like that but I can’t, but thanks to all who send your eye candy in for us to look at. Made my very long hard week worth it to see all the cards. I love to look at everyone’s cards. Happy Birthday Anna!

  • Anna,

    My niece Michelle Scoby has been diagnosed with cancer in her brain lungs and stomach. Her prognosis doesn’t look hopeful. She is in her early ( just turned 50) 50’s She has been an avid scrappy crafter for many years.
    She and her husband lost a son to gun violence in May. Husband Bill in in rehab trying to get a grip on his wife and son.

    I don’t know if it is possible for Griffinites could send her and her husband cards of encouragement?

    If possible please contact me for their address.

    Thanks ,
    Peggy Buford

    • Peggy, I would be more than thrilled to send Bill & Michelle each a card wishing them the strength to get through this.
