By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 64

Hello everyone,

Today we heard from Griffinites new and old, and you always remind us that there’s nothing quite like friendship. We love all of the beautiful things that were sent in to us this week, and hope that you enjoy seeing some truly amazing crafts and hearing from your fellow creatives.

Let’s jump in to this week’s fan mail!

Our friend Sharon used her slimline dies in a genius way! Thank you for inspiring us all!

We received the most beautiful card from lovely Mary Ann. It’s so good to hear from you, and know that you are in our thoughts always!

Take a look at Vickey’s stunning valentine! She loves crafting and it shows through her beautiful work.

Lynn’s card is so lovely! We love the way that she combined different elements to create such a unique card!

Eve made this pretty card inspired by our Finishing School class. Eve, we are so excited that you are joining us for Crop at Home 2! It’s going to be a wonderful time.

Here is a look at the inside of Eve’s card!

This box of chocolates is as sweet as our friend Shellie! You are too clever, friend! The little rose chocolates are just perfect!

We received our first card from Phoebe! She made quite the debut with this beautiful card. We are so glad to know you, and hope to hear from you again in the future. Great work!

Here is the inside of Phoebe’s card!

Take a look at the craftsmanship of Joanna’s beautiful ornaments. There’s one for Valentine’s Day and one for Christmas; we can’t wait to add it to our tree!

We also heard from Sloan for the first time! It is so nice to get to know you through Fan Mail Friday! Enjoy your Win it Wednesday winnings!

What a gorgeous box, full of flowers.

These antique German valentines are the way to our heart. Wow, thank you Sloan!

Lulu sure knows how to set a table! She created the most lovely placemats, napkin rings and even added a little chocolate. You are so sweet Lulu!

We hope that you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and even better chocolate. Getting to hear from you is the highlight of our week, and we love each and every one of you. If you would like to submit a card or project to Fan Mail Friday, you can mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30315 Attn: Fan Mail Friday.

Love,

Anna

  • Wow, so many beautiful creations! I especially loved that box of chocolates easel card. How darling that was!! I’m in awe!

  • Thank you Anna, for another fabulous fan mail Friday. So many extremely talented
    people. So many fabulous ideas. I always find something else I want to order.

  • WOWZA!!👀 Wonderful examples of Valentine cards and the various uses of Anna’s gorgeous die sets!!🎉🎉 Well done everyone!!👏🏽👏🏽🥰🙋🏻‍♀️💜tfs

  • Wow, buckle up Butter Cup! What an amazing line up of amazing products. I am so excited on what lay ahead. I would love to win everything/anything, but truly what I am finding there are so many folks that need encouragement and uplifting due to covid loss, job changes, inability to connect with their family and friends, and more times than I even imagined… the loss of loved ones. I have had to create more cards for encouragement and support and sympathy, the Popup Bouquet Dies and Pop UP Card Kit will create the cards that will immediately lift the spirits of anyone who receives it. Just what these beautiful cards are met to do, bring a bit of joy or support, and this set would be perfect.

  • Everything is absolutely gorgeous!! No big surprise there.
    Such a fun idea to fold the Slim line cards in half.
    But I must say I fell in love with the Vintage Mushroom Fairy House. That is just the cat’s meow.
    Happy Crafting!

  • Where to start? What a clever idea folding the Slimline Cards….love that idea. The place mat, napkin ring, and heart place card set are too, too beautiful. If I duplicated them for one of my luncheons, it would knock the socks off my friends. Covering the box with paper flowers….such a beautiful gift in itself. I would want to save that box to store special treasures. All the gorgeous Valentine cards are worthy of saving in a special scrapbook.

  • Today’s Fan Mail Friday is beautiful. I love Eve and Phoebe’s cards,good job ladies.😁

  • Hello everyone… Every project presented above is special, but my most fav is what Sharon did with the slimline dies. When I saw the post on FB, I was so excited that I didn’t take time to look closely (with my eyes, if that makes sense). I will be so glad when I can get back into my craft space (another story). But thanks to those of that post your beautiful creations, much prayer and praise, I see the light at the end. Many thanks to Anna and her team and each of you.

  • Those cards are as beautiful as the antique ones. i love making Valentine cards they are my favorite to make out of all Holidays. Anna I made you a Valentine pulley card, but I see you did not receive it. Maybe you will get it in time for ST Patricks Day.

  • Thanks for sharing those beautiful cards Anna you get for FMF. I am trying to make one similar to one I saw a few weeks ago for my Granddaughter that’s graduating from NC State this year. I made you a card but it would be my first card to you and I am not as good as some of the other card makers.

  • Such inspiring cards this Friday. Ladies did a great job. Makes you want to get in your craft room or wherever you create. Thanks for sharing.

  • Such an exciting FMF everyone! I enjoyed seeing each beautiful interpretation! Looking forward to next week, enjoy your weekend Griffinites, Anna and staff!!

  • I need a sign that fills up this space with hearts and happy face with heart eyes. Everything is so fantastic, and inspires my heart too. And Lulu what a great idea to make our own placemat I LOVE it. Thank everyone for all the beautiful cards.

  • Hello Anna & Team

    Happy Fan Mail Friday to all! Sharon caught my attention when she folded her Slimline cards in half-very smart. Welcome to Phoebe and your first card is a stunner 🙂

    Blessings

  • Love, Love, Love the idea of folding in half the slim line cards!

    Just received the heirloom lace box. Every time I get something new, I think this is my favorite, but, I truly think this is my favorite.
    There is sooo much in the box.

  • Wow! So many awesome cards and projects today. Love the folded slimline Carte Noir cards. I am always in awe of people who can think outside the box. The box of “chocolates” is wonderful. On the closeup, you can see she even put “fillings” in! The antique Valentines are precious and so beautifully made. The Grand Border card is such a source of inspiration. Everything today is beautiful.

  • Wow, so many wonderful ideas. They take my breath away. Always excited to see Fan Mail Friday ❤️

  • Beautiful inspiring cards. I love that they thought outside the box. Creative awesome.
    Thank you

  • Love all of the wonderful cards! I think the rosette ornaments are amazing. I really like the mini box of “chocolates”.

  • I LOVE fanmail Friday. So many unique ideas and inspiration. I absolutely love Shellie’s candy box card. I also like Lulu’s placemats and candy wrappers, what a nice idea when guests are coming.

  • Wow! Such extraordinary works of art! So many talented and generous people in this community! Those antique Valentines are absolutely gasp worthy! Beautiful!😍

  • These cards get more creative and beautiful every week. When I get courageous, I will send in one of mine. Ha!

  • Fan Mail Friday – favorite day of the week in the Annaverse! I love seeing the first time submissions. Great job everyone!

  • Another fine FMF to share. Love it! I know we all appreciate everything you and friends at work in sharing ideas to help us craft even better than we could believe. Thank you Anna.

  • Wow 🤩 what an exciting Fan Mail Friday! So many beautiful and different creations. Shout out to Linda W. PA Griffinite for submitting her first card to FMF! 👏👏👏

  • Hello Anna!
    Such lovely creations by each and everyone! I always enjoy seeing what others create!
    Thank you for your kind words about the Valentine card I sent – It meant a lot to me!
