Today's card is a thank you to Anna for coming back to the UK! I just love these pinky/red poppies and tend to keep them for special cards, so I hope you like this one!
Materials Used:
Anna Griffin - So Smitten card kit, All Occasion card kit, metallic card & paper layers, Spring seasonal dies, perfect bows
Hunkydory - 5"x7" card blank
Pinflair - glue gel
Stampin' Up! - tear & tape adhesive
Well today is the day - Anna Griffin is back on our screens here in the UK on QVC! So I'd thought I would share this card with you today to wish Anna good luck on her first shows back with us. Not that she will need it as she is a total pro, and a lovely lady too!
Materials Used:
Anna Griffin - All Heart die collection, Vintage Collage Toppers 2, So Smitten card kit, metallic card & paper layers, perfect bows
Hunkydory - 5"x7" card blank
Pinflair - glue gel
Stampin' Up! - tear & tape adhesive
Do you love all the beautiful Anna Griffin vintage flowers? Yes, I do too - and I am sure that you will have noticed from the cards that I have been sharing recently that I particularly like the pink and red ones!
This card was really quick to make as all of the flowers and the swirly embellishments were all precut. I love making my own embellishments, stamping and die cutting etc. but sometimes I think we all like to be able to put some quick cards together - you know those times when you want to be creative, but maybe don't have a lot of time!
Materials Used:

This week The Craft Channel celebrated its 1st Birthday, and I was lucky enough to be invited to a cocktail party in London to mark the occasion. My other half Steve came with me and we had a great time, even though we did not know anyone there - of course I recognised all of the presenters but had never met or spoken to them before. Julian Ballantyne was there to greet us and made us feel very welcome, and by the time I had checked our names in with the lovely Debbie Kershaw and Beccy Seddon they were already talking football!
The invitation said that there would be some special crafting guests, but we did not know who - all I kept thinking was "please let Anna Griffin be there" as I love her products and am so happy that she is back on our screens in the UK! So... guess what?! Yes, amongst all the other lovely craft guests and presenters Anna was there!
By the time I plucked up enough courage to speak to her she must have spoken to a ton of people (not that she is scary at all, the complete opposite - I was just in awe about being able to meet her!), but she was still kind enough to spend about 20 minutes with me, listening to me ramble on about all of her products that I have and how much I love them! So thank you Anna for making my day! Not too keen on having my photo taken, but here I am with the lovely Anna!
I think I managed to spend a few minutes with most of the presenters, as well as many of the behind the scenes staff - buyers, graphics, producers, even the CEO and founder James Doak - lovely man! All such lovely people and more than happy to spend time with us chatting about craft (well that was me anyway, Steve just kept saying he was the "plus 1" when asked if he crafted! LOL!)
I don't want to miss anyone out in my thank you, though I am sure I will (sorry!) I met Dawn Bibby, who I have been watching since her days on QVC which really got me back into crafting (picking things up from childhood when I was always making things at home with my Mum - sewing, baking, colouring...) Rosella, Dawn Wheeler, Wendi Rhodes, Lesley Wharton, Debbie Kershaw, Beccy, Kevin and the lovely Jaqui Joseph - she was wearing the most amazing sparkly trousers and was so fun to chat to! There were a few people missing, but maybe I will get to meet them one day.
I also met some lovely fellow crafters that I hope to meet up with again soon!
So thanks again to everyone at The Craft Channel for a year of crafty goodness and a lovely evening to celebrate! Looking forward to many more years of shows!
Of course my Happy Birthday card had to be made with Anna Griffin goodies, and I am adding this card to the following:

Hi! Today I have a Christmas card and gift to share! As I am sure you will have seen from recent posts I have been in a bit of an "Anna Griffin" crafty mode, so no surprise here is another project using her fabulous goodies!
I used my Cricut and an image from a gorgeous Anna Griffin cartridge, and had a go at something that I had wanted to try for ages - making a stencil on my Cricut for glass etching. I would have to admit that the design I chose for the stencil was a bit fiddly because of all of the bits I needed to make sure stayed on the glass to create the full image. Given this was my first attempt I am very happy with the results, and will definitely have another go. My top tip here is if you have not done this before use a very simple outline design for your first go! :-)
Having decorated the glass candle votives I made a card to match, and then decorated the box the candles came in. I also put some gold mirror card inbetween the candle and the glass so that you can see the design (the candles are white!) which would obviously need to be removed before lighting!
I am adding this to:
