Hello friends. Did you see Anna on HSN a few weeks ago talking about her new embossing folders with Provo Craft. I wish I could have bought that beautiful cream and gold Cuttlebug but I already have 2 machines here at home and could no justify adding a third. I did however scoop up those embossing folders! The designs are so beautiful and vintage. I fell in love immediately. Wanna see what I made with them? I love you card I wanted a window effect for this card so I embossed the patterned paper first and then cut out the oval and layered with pop dots for the depth. Then I added random 3D flowers from my stash of AG products. My Best Friend card I had some heavy weight vellum on hand so I gave it a try and the result was really pretty! I also picked up Anna's Floral Impressions Card kit and used the embossing folders along with the kit. Thank You card With Sympathy card The embossing folders really added dimension and beauty to the cardstock in the card making kit. I am glad that I have them to pair with all my Anna Griffin collections. I am sure I'll be creating many more cards with these folders but that's all I had time to make for this post. Thanks as always for stopping by!

Hello friends! Did you catch Anna on QVC UK this past Friday? She was sharing some beautiful products with her fans in the UK! I wanted to share some of the 20th Anniversary Stamps projects I created. I loved stamping these in Anna's Fresh tints inks that are available here at HSN! 20th Anniversary Stamp set projects Using all of the beautiful die cuts, All Occasion 3D Sentiment garlands, Cottage Roses and other Anna products available at HSN helped make these cards come together so easily. I also love Ann's border stickers and how easy they are to use. Have a creative day! {S}

I would like to share a few pages that I created for Anna's last HSN show, which aired July 11. I had so much fun with some of these new items!!!! These first two layouts were done with the new Tutti Fruitti stamps and dies! Let me just say these were so much fun, the colors (she has Tutti Fruitti inks) are lucious and seriously these scream Summertime!!!! This is one of the Frame It coloring pages that I did using the new Chameleon pens that were done exclusively for Anna Griffin! These coloring pages are such pretty patterns and 3 different sizes too! These two were done using the new Floral Pattern papers, these gorgeous papers are double sided. the patterns and colors are absolutely beautiful!!! Here are a couple with the 3D Flower Dies, these are absolutely the coolest ever!!! And last for today are a couple using the new Birdcage and Butterfly dies and folders! These were a lot of fun as well!!!! I know this is a quick post, and the photos are not retouched, so please excuse the quality and color, but I wanted to hurry up and share these with you!! Thanks so much for stopping by and please check HSN for all the cool new Anna Griffin products.

Hello there. It's been a while since I've posted here. A lot longer than I expected but here I am sharing a card I created for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! patterned paper by Kingston Crafts, coffee dies from my stash, and sentiment from My Favorite Things. Thank you for visiting. {S}

Hello friends. I hope you are enjoying your day so far. I love crafting away in my little studio and am so thankful that I get to work with really beautiful products. Some assignments are fun and others are a true labor of love. Today I am sharing some of my Anna Griffin designs using her Pretty Papers 6x6 set available at HSN. I really enjoyed making these 6x6 cards and using other Anna Griffin products to embellish them. Next I have some Garden Window Card Making kit cards to share. This kit is so beautiful and loaded with amazing die cuts and stickers. I am not surprised it is sold out at HSN. That's it for today friends. Have a creative day! {S}

Thanks for visiting today! I'm sharing a few cards that I made for Anna Griffin's May HSN show with her Grand Duet folders. The folders are 6x12 with 2 6x6 embossed designs in each folder. The designs are so beautiful and fun to create with. Here's a look at a few of my designs with them. My Therm-O-Web 3D foam squares made this cut out from the folder pop. I sanded the embossed design a bit for a distressed look on this card. I also love pairing these with Anna's glitter cardstock. What's your favorite technique to use on embossing folders? Paired with the Foil Stamped card layers, these folders are stunning. I'll be back tomorrow showing a project I made with Anna's Decorate it Celebrate paper and cartridge kit for the Cricut Explore. Thanks for stopping by today. {S}

Welcome to Anna Griffin's blog! This is the place where Anna shares the things she loves, her inspirations, and what she's up to.

Hello friends. Can you believe it's only 8 more days til Valentine's Day? What do you like to do for your sweetheart? I always make mine a hand made card. It's so cute that recently I was cleaning out our closet and discovered his stash of all the hand made cards I have made him over the years. It's nice to know they are cherished. Today I have some handmade Valentines to share with Anna Griffin's Juliet collection that she debuted on her "Anna-versary" special on HSN in January. Here's a look at the complete collection. Here's a few cards I created with it. I used a few of Anna's Fretwork dies for this card. I loved the variety of patterned paper, die cuts and embellishments that came in this collection. It made creating these cards a snap! Sadly this collection sold out on air so it's not currently available at HSN. I am not sure if Anna will be bringing more on her next show or not. For all of Anna Griffin's available collections and other products visit HSN. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a creative day. {S}

Hello friends. How many of you picked up Anna Griffin's new Foil Flourishes during the HSN 24 hour crafting day last week? I love how easy they are to add to my card designs and how elegant they look! Here's a look at some samples I created. I love layering Anna's stickers with 3D foam squares from Therm-o-Web. They really make them pop of my card. I started with a card base and die cut frame from Anna's Garden Window Card kit and added several of the Foil Flourishes along with some of Anna's beautiful stickers to create this card. The corner stickers made putting this card together quick and easy! A little of this and a little of that paired with an embossing folder make for a beautiful card. I used another card base from one of Anna's card kits and then rounded the corners of the patterned paper. Then I added one of the Totally Tags. Next I have some inspiration fpr you using the Lovely Layers collection. Don't be afraid to mix different shaped dies like I did for this Birthday themed card. Use a sanding block on your embossed cards to let the core come thru for a nice look. Sometimes for me a card starts with the ribbon. You know what I mean right? I cut down one sheet and then layered it over the same print with 3D foam. Then I embellished it with tags and a die cut. Sometimes I like to stick to one color palette. I love Anna's saddle stitched ribbons. Again this one was all about the ribbon. It's one of my faves from Anna. I cut away the excess cardbase of the scalloped layer and used 3D foam to pop it off the Perfect Palette. I love yellow and green together. Don't you? This last one is sooo girly and I love the way it turned out. I took the two contrasting hues of pink and paired them together. I find that the darker color in the background will bring out the lighter shade much better. Cut down your cardstock in quarter inches to create nice layers. Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be sharing the Birthday stickers and more of the new items later this week. Have a creative day! {S}
