Hello crafters,

First things, first. Our angelic winners from Friday’s blog post are Renee Kuznik, Angel Dies and Misty Julian, 120 Favorite Angel Stickers! Congratulations – we hope you enjoy these beautiful new craft items.

Today is the day that our #ICreate4AnnaGriffin contest begins! If you missed first announcement on September 1st, we are running a contest for the next 4 weeks where we are giving away 4 tickets to the 4th Annual Anna Griffin | Create event in Atlanta, Georgia November 15th-18th. You enter to win our contest by creating a project with certain crafting items each week. This week we are working with the  Anna Griffin Treasury of Stamps and Dies.

We are going to post a prompt on our Facebook page at 2:00pm today, that we will pin to the top of our page for the week. Then, you will have all week to post your projects along with the hashtag #ICreate4AnnaGriffin in the comments of the post. On Friday we will choose a winner at random! This contest is based solely on your participation and enthusiasm for attending THE crafting event of the year, not technical skill. You can post as many times as you like during the week.

For those of you who do not have Facebook, you can still enter to win! All you have to do is send us a photo of your project and your name to ICreate4@annagriffin.com. We will post your project on our Facebook page for you! So much fun!

Here is some project inspiration for you to kick things off with the Treasury!

We cannot wait to see your projects, read your comments and choose our first winner on Friday! As a reminder, here are the other items we will be featuring for the remaining weeks of the contest.

Week 2 Terial Magic

Week 3 Christmas Acetate Cards

Week 4 120 Favorite Birds and Butterflies Stickers

Good luck to you all! Happy posting #ICreate4AnnaGriffin.

Love,

Anna

 

 

 

 

 

  • What a great chance to create and win. Exciting times. I so enjoy seeing the samples on your blog. One of the Christmas samples features a beautiful stag deer. Can anyone tell me what kit or set that image came from? I really appreciate how well the die cuts are made and this one looks like the same deer that was used on a plaid card sample on the recent HSN presentation. Thanks!

  • I love watching all of your previews. Thank you for your excitement. It is very inspiring. Here’s to finding the next gorgeous flower that will be in the book you purchase in an old London book shop when you are next in London.

  • I’m so excited about this contest. I got a late start because my first project was pretty involved and took me awhile yesterday so I won’t get it posted until today. I hope you will like it. I think video would do it more justice but not sure if we can post a video. Maybe I will be able to on your actual page. Anyway, the more I work with the treasury set, the more I love it. I can’t wait to make more things this week with it.

  • I hope the Create event will be traveling all over the US someday. It would be great if your instructors could bring the great craft ideas to different locations. I would love to go to Atlanta. I did visit there once and I have a friend that moved there. It is a beautiful city and so charming. But the competition to get a Create ticket seems like an impossible dream. I’m just glad it exists and may envolve into a traveling showcase or become a TV show. We just need more help on crafting. Best regards.

  • Dear Anna
    Took a nap so I could wake up at 11pm to watch you on hsn. So much fun!!! The angels are so beautiful.

  • The first image above has four beautiful hearts. I couldn’t find them on the Anna Griffin website. Are they die cuts, or stamped images, and are they available for purchase?

    Thanks!

  • Looking forward to tonite and tomorrow. Love your crafting Anna. I have so much of you died, tools, stamps, etc,etc. LOL. I have signed up for Create 4 this year and don’t know what I really need to bring. Reaching out to all you Griffinites to help me! Thanks Kimberly

    • The most important thing to bring is your enthusiasm and excitement. I brought my basic set of tools and various adhesives, comfortable clothes, a dressy outfit for the gala dinner, and maybe a sweater because some of the rooms are cool. Get plenty of sleep before you come and keep reminding yourself you’ll sleep when you get home. Last year was my first time and it was better than I could have imagined. I hope I get to meet you at some point over the weekend.

  • 2 of the items i wanted were sold out before airing- I would have appreciated being on a “back order” list even if it was 6 months !!

  • Hi, Anna!

    First, congratulations to this week’s winners!

    It is so nice that you are doing this contest! I would have signed up for Create when it was first announced, as I had such an incredible time last year. Unfortunately, I have some health issues that I have had to contend with this year which have prevented me from being able to attend.

    I encourage everyone to participate in this contest to be able to have a lifetime opportunity of going to your Create event! It is one of the best times EVER!!!!

    I can’t wait to see you tonight at 11 pm on HSN. I already spent my all my stash on your Angel Dies and some others, along with Paper Dolls, the metallic and matte cardstocks, the foiled Christmas Card stock, and so much more! — All I can say is that I am “Annaddicted.” — I hope you have a fabulous show, and I will be watching with a glass of wine as you demo all your great new products and get some lovely ideas!

    Linda

    P.S. I’m still waiting for that ivory and gold Roomba! (LOL!!!)

  • Dear Anna , I broke my foot badly about 5 weeks ago & have 5 weeks more in the cast. Unable to get around, but I will enjoy seeing what other things people make. Especially since I have the treasury set. Keep up the wonderful ideas. Much lov

  • Thanks for letting those of us who don’t do social media enter. However I don’t own any of the 4 products. Yes I have alot of your stamps including your first set on QVC that sold out in less than 3 minutes. I have 10 or more card kits. I have at least a dozen of your embellishments. But none of the ones mentioned. Being on a fixed income now that I am retired makes it hard to keep buying when I still have tons of Anna Griffin products in my stash. So Good Luck to you fortuate crafter’s who were able to purchase these newer products.
    Happy Crafting.

  • I love my treasury dies I have made dozens of items from those pages of stamps and cut outs. I hope everyone makes new items for me to get more inspired. Go Griffinites!!!

  • Wow that is a very pretty blouse. I am so glad there is something as pretty as angels to look at today with all that is happening I would douse the angels if I were win. I would put them on the tree and or make cards

  • What a wonderful opportunity to have a chance to win a ticket to CREATE!! Undoubtedly this is the most astonishing, creative, fun in the history of crafting!! Last year when i was finally able to attend, I thought I would be content. The very first thing I told Lynn (husband) when he picked me up to come home was, “I HAVE to go to CREATE next year!” Fortunately it is already happening for me, but I am so glad that FOUR other very lucky ladies will also be joining us this year…..Good Luck all!!!

  • Anna you look like an angel in the blouse you have on. I am so excited that the angel wings and dies will be on tonight. Thank you for offering us the chance to win your products. I already purchased some of the new things from the show tonight
    Sincerely,
    Maureen from Florida

  • Good afternoon!
    Oh, Anna (& co!) – you always find a way to make things better and better for us! First, by allowing those of us who are not big on Facebook to send pictures to you for posting; and then, encouraging us to participate without fear of not being creative enough! (I will admit, I’ve been thinking there is no way I could “out-craft” the many talented people in this group for a spot at the crafting event of the year!) We all dream of meeting you and the rest of the Create family!
    Best wishes for great shows (that’s a given!) and a safe trip.
    Regards, Anne

  • It would be so nice to enter and win. However, health and dietary restrictions prevent me from traveling. I also am not on FB so won’t be able to see the entries. Love all the items I’ve purchased from you, still have a lot to learn how to do so enjoy seeing what others have done when they send to you. Will be watching HSN Many thanks to you and your staff.

  • Anna: This is an exciting thing for people who can participate. I can’t wait to see the things submitted and, of course, the winner!!

    I am handicapped and can’t travel or I’d love to attend your conferences. But I am wishing luck to everyone who participates in your contest, and also, A GREAT TIME when they get there! Hugs to you and all the crafting family out there……Marie

  • OMG….I would LOVE to win a ticket to ‘Create’. I have always wanted to go, since the very first one. Never have been able to make it happen. Sad part is that I work full time and September is my busiest month of the entire year. Working unreal hours this month so I don’t think I can make a project to submit, much less several projects. 🙁 I think I’ll try to make something this week but not sure it will get complete enough to submit.

    Love your products Anna! So lovely, so elegant and just ‘classy’ just as you are. I so admire you and your talent.

  • I cannot wait to post items. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity for those of us who could not attend this year. I am disappointed to miss my 4th year but life got in the way this year.

  • Soooo excited for a chance to win the golden ticket!!! I have a new appreciation for people who stamp! I won’t say how many butterflies I stamped to end up with the few that I used on my card. It was fun for my grandkids to make magic with the heat tool…that was worth it all! There are so so many who would love to go to create, but none more than me! Let the games begin! 😘

  • I was wondering about the deer too for my deer hunters! So excited for the opportunity to attend. Will start working on my project for the week. Woo Hoo!!

  • Thanks so much for this opportunity to win tickets to Create 4. This is wonderful for those of us that can not afford this event but really dream of attending.

  • Good luck to all the participants! Excited to watch the shows starting at 11 tonight and then at 12 and 1 tomorrow. I have my list ready!!!

  • I am unable to enter–BUT–will enjoy seeing what your creative fans come up with..
    Good Luck to all.

  • So many ideas, so little time! Wish I could go into “hyper-speed”, but creating takes a little time and care. With your beautiful products, Anna, it is inspiring just to look at all the wonderful things to use! Can’t wait to see everything tonight and tomorrow!

  • What a treasury of ideas this will be! Will be inspiring and motivational to view the entries. Just ordered the wreath set and angel set of dies so hoping these will help as I take ‘baby steps’ to learn the skill of card making.

  • Good luck ladies. For you that buys have fun and enjoy your fun. I can’t buy anymore.but if you can please enjoy buying the dies and using them. I don’t have a die cutting machine anymore so what would I cut with.

  • The day is finally here! Cant wait to see your shows Anna. I want to enter the Create contest but am not very skilled at takkng and posting photos😮

  • Thank you some much Anna! I’m going to love making new cards & ornaments for my friends with the Angel Dies! I look forward to receiving them. I’ve already have my shopping list for tonight! I love all your cards, dies and card kits!

  • I am so excited for the opportunity to win a chance at attending Create! I will be crafting like crazy over the next couple of weeks. The shows on HSN will be just the thing to get my craft mojo flowing!!!

  • Congratulations to the winner’s, I can’t wait to see the show tonight. Thank you for always bringing us such beautiful products. Have a safe trip and I’m ready to take my chances at Creating something Beautiful!! Keeping my fingers crossed.❤❤❤❤

  • Although I cannot attend the CREATE event, I look forward to all the postings and shares! All of you are my inspiration and “Idea Instigators”! Thanks, Anna Griffin, for all the FUN!!!!

  • I so look forward to these presentations on HSN. I had a few things in mind to get this week, but of course, after watching your demonstrations, I’ve added to my list.

  • What an exciting week it is! And did I mention that it is my Birthday this week too (not as exciting)?
    Congrats to the “angelic” winners…and many thanks to YOU, Miss Anna and all at AG Inc for providing this opportunity to all of your devoted fans!!

  • I would so love to participate but these items are not available in Canada. Anna your products are beautiful but out of reach!

  • Good luck to everyone! I can’t wait to see all the beautiful projects everyone will make. I wish I could take time off of work to go to Create. I’m very happy and envious of everyone who will be attending! I’m sure it will be fabulous!

  • will the angels and wings die set be available on hsn soon? I won’t be able to watch every show live … I’ll have to watch on my DVRa little later … and I don’t want to miss them!
