Anna Griffin Flowered Birthday Card


I bought a couple of Anna Griffin card kits a few years ago, but had only made one card from them so far. I always feel like I'm cheating when I use a kit, but it's also wasteful not to use them, so I thought I would make a second card.

For this card, I took a card blank and one of the smaller panels included in the kit and outlined both of them with a gold pen. Next, I applied some lace from my stash to the smaller panel and mounted it dimensionally onto the card. I took one of the sentiment panels and mounted that onto gold mirror card and mounted that dimensionally onto the flowered panel. Last, I added dimensional flowers, a butterfly, a bow, and some Liquid Pearls.

It was quick and easy, but it made a pretty card, and mounting everything dimensionally gave it a lot of depth.

    Lovely, lovely card.
    I am like you. I always feel using a kit is cheating. lol
    I think using parts of a kit and parts of our own stash makes it our own, don't you?

  4. Very pretty! I like to use kits from time to time...I usually change them a bit to make them more my own, and then I really don't feel like I'm cheating.

  5. So pretty. My DH bought me a Anna Griffin card kit from HSN a couple of months again. I've only made on card, but it turned out so well. I save this kit for special people.
