Halloween creations with Anna Griffin's Endora collection

 Halloween is my favorite time of year! For me it's the official kick off of the holiday season.

I love checking out the Halloween collections from some of my favorite designers.
Anna Griffin debuted her new Halloween collection Endora on HSN back in July.
The collection is loaded with lots of fun stickers, die cuts and fun patterned papers.

Here's a look at some cards I created with this beautiful collection!

These cards were so fun to create. In addition to the Endora collection I also used Anna's glitter cardstock.

Adhesive: Therm-O-Web Sticky Strip Runner, 3D Foam Squares Combo pack.

Are you getting started on your Halloween cards or have you already finished?

Thanks for stopping by!

Some pop up card shares

Hello friends. Today I wanted to share some of my cards that I created with the Engraved Endearments Pop-Up card kit.

I love the variety of embellishments that come in this kit and how easy they are to put together. 

A beautiful card almost seems effortless. This is really something I feel so proud to give someone.

I love that Anna added foil embellishments and butterflies too!

And that there were masculine options too! My Dad would love this card.

I can hardly wait for the Christmas version that Anna has coming. Stay up an all of Anna's new releases and news by visiting her Facebook page and Blog.

Have a creative day!

Anna Griffin's Grand Duet embossing folders

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.

How I spend my days

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!

Did you see HSN's 24 Hour Craft show?

Hello friends. Did you catch Anna on HSN Monday? She debuted some beautiful new products including her interchangeable Border punches. 

Here's a look at what I was able to create with these beautiful punches.

 

 If punching is just not for you then don't worry. Anna has the most gorgeous Border Sticker set yet!

Beautiful Borders Sticker Set

Here's a masculine card

 

 You too can easily turn these border stickers into frames with a ruler and craft knife.

Anna makes it so easy to create beautiful cards to give to friends and loved ones.

I'll be back later this week with a look at some more of Anna's products.

Have a great day!

A look at the Grace collection by Anna Griffin

There are so many exciting things coming in 2014 from Anna Griffin. If you missed her big Cricut explore launch on HSN last week, you can view it here. I still have some projects I have been meaning to share from the 20th Anniversary show that aired in January. Anna featured her newest collection...

Here are a few samples I created with this beautiful collection.

Just for you

This basket weaved pattern was easy to take a craft knife to so that I could fussy cut it. It took about 10 minutes to cut out each hole but once that was done, the card was quick to come together.


Thankful for you

It's easy to use the die cut pages for cards when you layer them over cardstock. Just cut them down to the size you need for your card and use pop dots to affix them to the card base. You wouldn't believe how much 3D foam I use on my Anna assignments.

Life is beautiful

I love the pop of yellow amongst the black and white. The large bow die is from Lil Inker designs. Love them!

Celebrate the day

For this card I used the pattern paper as wall paper and cut a window using Spellbinders dies. The perfect palette cardstock was a perfect pair for this pattern. I also used Anna's Rosa Cuttlebug embossing folder.

You can find this beautiful collection at HSN.

Have a creative day!
