Christmas in July

Today I continue to work on holiday projects for Anna Griffin's next appearance on HSN for September 9th. I look forward to sharing a bunch of those cards and scrapbook pages with you soon. Until then, I made this Anna Griffin Christmas card for you. 

Yes, I used another of the Angelic Card Topper as a focal point for this design. They're just so pretty and they capture the spirit and magic of Christmas. 

Christmas - Anna Griffin Style

Hello! I've been a busy little crafter bee creating lots of projects for Anna Griffin's next appearance on HSN coming up on September 9th.

There will be spooky fun Halloween products for sale along with Christmas goodies. 

Yesterday I was working on some Christmas  projects so I thought I'd make a quick holiday card to share with you today using some of my favorite Anna Griffin supplies. 

I love her glitter paper because I can add sparkle to my projects without wearing it on my face all day! 

That little angel is one of my favorite products from last year, the Angelic Card Toppers. 

Can you believe fall and the holidays are right around the corner? I keep trying to ignore that fact. I'm a warm weather kind of gal and I've been enjoying summer so much. Ahhhh long days and watermelon! Heck, we haven't even gone on our annual family beach trip yet! Coming up! 

Anna Griffin on HSN

Today I'm sharing a handful of projects I created for the 24 Hour Craft Event on HSN earlier this month. First up is Anna Griffin's Fancy Floral Paper Collection.  I love this array of pretty prints so I created fun backgrounds for the next two scrapbook pages combining multiple patterns. 

Following are a couple cards I also created with these papers along with the Paper Tricks Embossing Folders and the Birthday Bouquet 3D Sticker Kit.

Also released were a couple new Cricut cartridges called Anna's Lace and Anna's Lovely Layered Cards that I used to make the next two cards.

The product focus for this next scrapbook page and greeting card are the Birthday Bouquet 3D Sticker Kit. 

Finally, there's the brand new Halloween collection called Endora that I used to create the following scrapbook pages and cards. 

Eek! Spooky and so much fun, don't you think? 

The next HSN Craft event will air on September 9th and I've been a busy little crafter bee created more fun projects for this event. Stay tuned! 

HSN Craft Day

Did you see HSN's 24-hour craft day last Monday? Anna Griffin debuted her adorable new card kit called Playful Pieces that includes lots and lots of colorful animals and accents to create cards for the kids in our lives. Here are a few projects I created with the kit including a scrapbook page that utilizes two more of Anna's products, the Perfect Palette Card Making Kit and Grand Duet Embossing Folders. 

Aren't these critters from the Playful Pieces kit the most adorable?!?! 

Next up is another page I created using the Grand Duet Embossing Folders. The details made these folders is gorgeous! 

 

Anna also introduced a new product called Nifty Nested Cardstock Layers that I created the following cards with. 

Sentiments are also included making these perfect for beautifully layered and dimensional cards and scrapbook pages. 

Anna's Gate Fold Embossing Folders

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Anna Griffin's new Gatefold Embossing Folders that aired on HSN's 24 hour craft day last month. If you are familiar with Anna's style, you know her embossing folders have the prettiest designs and intricate detailing. Here are a few cards I created with them. 

What do you think of the embossing you get with these folders? Gorgeous, right? Wouldn't these make beautiful wedding invitations? 

If you have a Cricut, most of the pretty edges of these card folders can be cut with your machine. However, I used scissors for mine which works too. 

Anna Griffin

Hello! Did you catch Anna Griffin on HSN's all day craft event on Tuesday? As always Anna introduced us crafty folks to some beautiful new tools and a stunning new card kit called Pretty Painted Flowers. I'd like to take a moment to share with you today some of the projects I contributed to the event and rave about how much fun these Anna items were to create with! 

First up is my favorite new product the Butterfly Cut and Emboss set. I adore butterflies and went a little crazy with this scrapbook page. 

I love the three different designs in the set...especially the profile one! And I love to layer them with two or more cuts. 

For those of you who love foiled designs like I do there's the new Foil Stamped Card Layers. Just look at all the shimmer you get with these! 

I also created a scrapbook page with the Foil Stamped Card Layers cutting the squares to 4" x 4" pieces and putting them together to make a quilted background. 

Now for the projects created with the Pretty Painted Flowers Card Kit.  The boarders cards and dimensional flower stickers were all hand painted! Aren't they incredible? 

The kit includes enough supplies to make 30 cards including all the flowers, card layers, insert sentiments, foil accents and more. I loved, loved, loved playing with this kit and can't wait to see what Anna has in store for us next time! 

Anna Griffin

This weekend I was a busy little bee creating projects for Anna Griffin's upcoming HSN show scheduled for February 18th. Anna always comes out with the most beautiful tools and supplies and this next show will be no exception! 

Since I can't reveal what's next, I thought I'd share a few more projects from last months show. I created this card with the Cuttlebug Lovely Impressions and Dies. See how detailed the embossing is with these folders? And that XOXO die is a favorite of mine! 

Anna's Card Kits are another favorite of mine as all the work is done for you and includes everything you need to make the most gorgeous cards! This next card was made using the Pretty Pop Ups Card kit. 

No measuring,  scoring and cutting required! Just mixing, matching and arranging flowers, sentiments and flourishes until my heart was content! 

For all you dog and cat lovers, the above card was created with Anna's Best In Show collection. This line is packed full of the cutest cats and dogs I've ever seen! There was even a black and white cat that looked just like my Oreo!

Anna Griffin on HSN

This weekend I hadn't planned on being away from my blog for three days, but that's how things turned out. I spent time with my boys and just had too much fun to step foot in the office! Today I'm back, refreshed and ready to share and create more projects for you like this card from Anna Griffin's new Juliet collection debuting last week on HSN. 

Oh How I love the patterned papers, dimensional embellishments and gold foil accents from this line! 

Along with the new Juliet collection, Anna shared an amazing new embossing tool called Mix & Match Embossing Folders and Dies that allow you to create beautifully embossed backgrounds while adding matching sentiments at the same time.

Here's another card I created with the Juliet collection and Anna's new Paisley Patterns Embossing Folders & Dies. These are embossing patterns are so detailed and gorgeous, don't you think? 

Anna is currently working on her next set of collections and HSN show. And I'm look forward to showing you just how easy it is to use them and create lots of fun projects! 

Ornament

I couldn't resist making another Christmas ornament...this time using some of my favorite Anna Griffin products, Angelic Card Toppers and Holiday Metallic Card Stock. The base of this ornament is a simple wood embroidery hoop from the craft store, some recycled pompom trim and some gold wire ribbon that's been a go to accent for holiday projects for many years. 

This ornament came together quickly and beautifully because Anna Griffin's accents are just gorgeous and already made for you to mix and match and arrange just the way you like. 

You may have noticed the Anna Griffin logo added to my blog a few months ago? I have had the good fortune to be part of Anna's design team, creating projects for her HSN shows. It's been a dream come true to work with her team and such an amazing array of products! Here are a few of the holiday projects I've created recently. 

Both holiday cards were created with the Holiday Traditions Card Making Kit.
