Happy Valentine’s Day 2023! Vintage Style Cards with Anna Griffin Supplies!

Hellloooooooo my sweethearts! Happy Valentine's Day 2023! I hope we all get lots of chocolates! Ha! Since it's Tuesday, and a work day, and Valentine's Day all at once, I am going to make homemade tacos tonight for Taco Tuesday! We will probably go out on Friday or Saturday to a nice dinner together. But after 30 Valentine's Days together, we don't really make a huge fuss out of the holiday! How about you? Will you do something fun for the holiday? My day is busy today but I'll look forward to a nice evening with my beau. Sending X's and O's your way today friends! 

Today's projects were all made with new kits and supplies from Anna Griffin! I ordered these things at Christmas Time and I was so happy to put them all together. Anna Griffin paper, card kits, stickers, etc are all SO gorgeous and so vintage fabulous. Anna Griffin items are only available through her website or on HSN shopping. I have been a collector for at least 25 years!! (Our wedding announcements were made from Anna Griffin vellum!) I made NINE cards total, so you know what that means…lots of photos! Grab some coffee and spend a little Valen-time with me today! 

I went over to a friend's house on Saturday to craft and hang out. These kits were the perfect thing to bring with me. I would also say this would just be a fun project for a group. No stamping on these cards and no die cutting either – that's the beautiful part – just mixing and matching and assembling. You know that I always add my own touches though. In this case, I added gold paint splatters, white paint splatters, pearls, rhinestones and Stickles (clear and gold)…. Let's take a look!

These first few cards are made from the same kit – Rocking Valentine! When you assemble them, the cards stand up, and they rock back and forth. It's very pretty and very cool. And they are heart shaped!

 

 

 

 

 

You really can't go wrong, mixing and matching all the colors and elements! I love those vintage florals!

 

 

 

 

 

These cards and kit come with the envelopes – square envelopes of course! 

 

 

 

I mixed in flowers from different kits for all the valentines…. One of the wonderful things about creating with Anna Griffin supplies is that everything goes together. You can just get everything out and play!

 

Here's a side view of the mechanism that makes the card stand up. SO EASY! These little folded pieces come in the kit. Couldn't be easier. And it folds flat for mailing.

 

And here is the preprinted back of the heart/circle cards. 

 

These five rectangle cards are all 5×7 (A7) cards. They are BIG! Lots of real estate to play with. I used the vellum toppers on all of these and again mixed and matched florals and hearts and sentiments…. Dreamy and vintage. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is SO elegant and pretty!! All those yummy old fashioned colors and those fat roses. Oh My!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this one has a touch of Wedgewood blue….and gold scrolls….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hugs and Kisses – with Valentine Wishes!
