NEW Anna Griffin Card Kits – Olivia and Hope Chest

I am so excited about the new Anna Griffin collections — Olivia and Hope Chest.  I’ve created card kits with both collections and I have samples to share today made from the Olivia Card Kit.  A LOT of cards, so let’s get right to it!  That’s just the problem with these easy to use kits — once I start, I just can’t quit!

These kits are designed for super quick creations — no stamping required!  All these cards were made in an afternoon crafting session.

 

And, having just said there is no stamping required — I DID stamp monograms for this first set.

Those three “M”s are the ONLY stamping done on this entire project of 12 cards.

To create the monograms I used:

Stamps:  Graceful Monogram, a clear set by JustRite

Ink:  VersaFine Vintage Sepia

Dies:  Circle Nesties

 

Here there is one beautiful die cut adhered to the card with 3D foam squares and my simple circle monogram applied on top.

 

Although this certainly looks like it could be one of Spellbinders dies that was used, it isn’t.  That, too, was one of the die cuts provided in the package.

Again, I just added my monogram circle.

 

Again, one die cut with my monogram on top.

Are you noticing all these beautiful prints on these papers?

 

This trio uses die cuts included that have sentiments on them.  Can’t get any easier!

 

Here I layered two different die cuts with 3D foam squares between.

 

Just one die cut here.  I have added either rhinestones or pearls to each card for just a bit of glitz and sparkle.  They are included in the kit.

 

Another single die cut with a lovely sentiment for a friend.

Are you noticing that many of the die cuts have gold embossing on them?

 

On this trio of cards I used a cream colored cardstock (SU Very Vanilla) rather than the white I used on the other 3 sets.  The neutral color in this pad is such that you can really go either way, white or cream, as I have.

 

A simple note of thanks — always needed.

 

This just might be my favorite sheet of paper in the pad — LOVE it.  And see how the die cut coordinates?

 

Another beautiful die cut sentiment made to coordinate with the sheet of paper used.

 

Beautiful 3D self-adhesive stickers are also included in the kit to coordinate with this pad.

I combined the stickers with the die cuts on this card trio — SO pretty IRL, wish you could see these for real!

 

The stickers are triple layers — SO pretty.  The banner was one of the die cuts in the package.

 

A pretty Happy Birthday!

 

The sentiment on this card is just perfect for my daughter-in-law who is getting these all as a gift!

 

And here are all 4 sets of 3 boxed up in A2 Clear Boxes.

The cards are all standard size – 4.25 x 5.5″.

I am giving these all to my daughter-in-law, but one could certainly have 4 little gifts here!  OR a nice stash for yourself!

There is a LOT more crafting left with this kit.

To make the above 12 cards I used less than 1/2 of the paper, about 2/3 of the die cuts, and about 1/3 of the stickers.

Here’s a look at the Olivia Kit.

  2. Jamie W. says:

    I can’t view anything on the site, as I get an “access forbidden” message! A 403 error. Don’t know what the problem is, but the cards are gorgeous.

    • Sharon Johnson says:

      Jamie — the store was down for maintenance yesterday and that was the error message popping up, but it was back to normal before this post went live. Not sure why you got it — it is functioning properly now. Maybe once you shut your computer off and restart it’ll work for you — or try this link:
