My Anna Griffin Haul With Tips On Putting The Cards Together

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love. And of course, you didn't eat too much! Well after I the evening was done at our house my mother, daughter and grand daughter spent the evening after all else was gone or sleeping the food off going through all the fliers. so I didn't get this post done. Sorry! Anyway you have been shopping all morning so now you can take a break and read over my post.
I love Anna Griffin and had to get all the goodies to make the Christmas cards. I have had so much fun and still have a lot to do to finish. This post is for those of you that got the kits but haven't started. There are 2 videos, 1 that shows you what I bought and the 2nd what I made with tips interjected in. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me.

Isn't that awesome? Nothing nicer that getting the goodies. I was so excited.

Didn't you just love those cards. Yes I can brag as Anna did all the designing all I did was put them together with a little imagination. How fun this was not cutting.

Below you will find a ton of photos that I am not going to describe. However with that said toward the very bottom you will find photos where the fronts are done and the working is on the inside. Be sure to check that out also. They took more creativity and I love them. At first I thought I should have bought 2 boxes of the pop ups but I am happy I went this way.

Here are the different style cards were I designed the front and printed the inside. Just get your Explore out and have fun creating your headings and inside of the cards. I hope you like.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed this post and came away with a few tips and lots of encouragement! Thanks for your encouraging words, your comments continue to inspire me to keep sharing with me.

Anna Griffin Style Birthday Cards

You are in for a treat today if you like ornate or elegant cards. This is one of the cards that are from Design Studio, Make it now cards from Anna Griffins Flourish Cartridge.  I always alter the cards a little bit for my needs and they always work out well. I am amazed how easy this card was to cut out. I do need to share that cards like these are easier with a spray adhesive.

I also used one of Anna's embossing strips to make the center piece. Thank you Pam for my Lace embossing/ die cut set, you can see that this really adds a lot of detail to the front of the card.

As you see the spray adhesive is very important. I saved the strips of paper I cut from and made a strip for the inside of the card. It offers a great look.

This is how the inside turned out and I really love that stamp. A friend gave it to me and she got it from Michael's or Joann's.

This is a Close To My Heart Stamp and it goes beautifully with the other stamp, don't you think?

Look at the detail in this card, it is amazing, and the embossing seems to go perfectly with the rest of the card.

This is a final look at the front of the card. I have to admit it is one of my favorites. I am continually looking for nice elegant cards to send out.

I hope you enjoyed today's post, I enjoyed visiting with you. Thank you for your sweet-sweet words, your comments continue to inspire me.

Have a blessed week.

Thank You Card - Anna Griffin Style

It's Saturday morning and a great time to make a card using some of Anna Griffin's supplies and your Cricut Explore and Cuttlebug! All kinds of fun! Grab a cup of coffee and join me in making this great thank you card.

See how easy it was I chose my papers from the last HSN special featuring Anna Griffin, then I got the Anna Griffin Lace dies that my friend Pam Ramesh of the BugBytes gave me for my birthday. I am not much of a die cutter so I didn't do that on line but cut my pieces out. I had trouble with one Sizzix die but I think I used to light of a cut of paper.... but I still used it anyway.

Didn't the card turn out beautiful? I am so excited as I even used my new Minc. AWESOME!

My flower was off Design Space free to subscribers. I just searched for a rose and chose the one I liked, did a print and cut and this card was ready to go.

I want you to see the close up so you can see how detailed this card is. And, you can also see it has plenty of layers and dimension.

And the last little close up. I sure hope you enjoyed today's post and learned a little something. As you can see I had fun with all my new goodies and had so much fun. Thank you again Pam... love you and hope to see you soon.

Thank you for your sweet-sweet words of encouragement. Your comments continue to inspire me to continue sharing with you.

Have a blessed weekend!

Anna Griffin Mink Foil Storage And My First Card With It

Well I sure hope you enjoy this post I had so much fun playing in my Craft Room with my new toys; The Minc, Anna Griffin Paper, and my Anna Griffin Lace Folders and Dies. I really challenged my self working with these items and I have to tell you I had you tube running right in front of me to make sure I did everything right.

I hope you learned something by watching this. As you can see the Minc was as easy as can be and the rose gold foiling adds elegance to this card.

This is a close up of the foil project and you can see the great detail it allows, I love it and can't wait to do some of my own designs using my Explore and my copy machine. I am so excited that I own a laser printer!

The above you can see some of the pieces that I made by using the Anna Griffin Dies and they were so easy to do. I did learn using washi tape is the best thing to do when lining up the papers on my Sizzix.

Another close up enables you to see the details on this card.

This is the final picture showing you the detail. It amazing in person and I sure hope you enjoyed this post. I am always encouraged by your sweet-sweet comments, they continue you to inspire me.
