Hello! 🤗 It.is my pleasure. I know I always like seeing it all and Anna definately doesn't get to spend 20 minutes showing it to us piece by piece. After seeing it all, will you be getting one? 💕
I’ve refused to go down the rabbit hole of foiling and glimmering. And yet I love the foil accents on Anna’s things. I have a previous birthday box, plus the Simply Birthday card kit, so I didn’t get this one. I love that she has 48 cards I pictured! One thing that kills me, is putting an almost full sized piece on top of the beautiful card front. Maybe Anna’s people will see your wish, and make a whole pack of cakes to buy.
Hello there, Lynne! 🤗 Yes, Rabbit hole, that is a perfect way of looking at it 👌 I agree with you, I just can't cover all that "pretty" up every time. I was looking to see what dies I have to make some backgrounds that won't cover it up as much. Thanks for letting me know I am not the only non-foiler here 😊💕
Lovely box of stuff! A lot of the edge pieces you showed look very similar to what I have from another card box. Good for mix and match. When I got tired of my card boxes piling up, I made up all the cards from one of the boxes. They sure make a lot of cards. Years ago, my friend and I would meet at Starbucks for 2 hours a week. We brought our cards kits and split them with each other as we had different kits. Then we took out the sample sheet and made photocopies to give each other. Then we would make as many of the cards we could until she had to leave. It was such a fun time and we got a lot of cards made.
Thanks for sharing. Anna’s kits are so so nice. I have so many of them. She does give you so many embellishments. Plus you will always have lots of extras. I use them when making other cards. As always I enjoy your videos. Hugs from California……🙋🏻♀️❤️🤗
Hello there DiEtta! 🤗 I have never had ANY of the annual kits so I guess I have room to get more! 😁 The embellishments are just so pretty, make any card look good. Anything on your list for Tuesday? Saw you asking about DP sewing dies...how cute are they? Bet they will sell out fast. See you at the preview? 💕
Hi Jennifer! A beautiful box! All of AG's kits are beautiful. You can use some of this for your scrapbooking too! I don't know 48 worthy people either to send BD cards. LOL. I saw the refill kits on HSN this morning! Definitely getting the refills. I missed the CC HSN live, so will watch the replay. Have fun with the box!
Jennifer - I have some of the kits from CC, but held off buying kits that don’t contain dies and stamps……..then saw both this BDay and the Xmas Kit, and added them onto an overflowing HSN cart (can’t wait for their arrival). Thank you for this video, your enthusiasm adds to the excitement of new products and creative opportunities.
Hello! 👋 Ooh, So you are a AG Birthday/Christmas card kit newbie like me! You can see just how wowed I am from the video. Would love to know, will you be following the booklet or putting your own spin on them? Also, what was in that overflowing HSN cart? I just started with a couple items and kept adding as the day went on. Even though I told myself I would NOT do that 😂 I am sure you are going to love them! 💕
Hi Gail! 👋 I am looking forward to it. I plan on making them all so for once I have cards ready before I need them! 😂 And now, back to craft day and trying not to spend too much! 💕
That is a wonderful box of crafty goodness. I want both the birthday and Christmas kits. I will be shopping on the 25th. I just received my order from Anna Griffin’s latest sale and am looking forward to some creative craft time.
Hello Rita! 🤗 I just got my most recent order from AG site as well! Oh my word, you should see the beautiful 12x12 Christmas paper! I am ordering another set today. Love how fast the shipping is. I can't wait for the 25th to get the other items on my wish list too! 💕💕💕
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for sharing the lovely AG Birthday Box! ❤️ I have never ordered it so it’s fun to see the details. I have ordered the Christmas box in previous years and would take it to my in person retreats to complete the first partial day (2:00pm-bedtime). I would spread the card bases on my 6 ft. table and then place embellishments on top of each one. I could then move them around if needed before adhering to base. Some years I ran short of embellishments when making the ones pictured in the instructions. Not sure why because it was advertised as having extra when done. Other years my kit’s been perfect. I ordered the Christmas box this year. I don’t even have room for a 6 foot table so it will be interesting! 🤣😂🤣
Hello Mary Pat! 🤗 What? You never had a birthday box? 🎂 Can not believe it! 😁 I think you will need to take over the dining room table for a while , or get the folding buffet table to set up to work on the project of the cards. I don't throw as many parties as I used to, but those 4 and 6 ft folding tables still come.in handy. I hope to see some of your makes on FB! 💕
Hey Jennifer, Lovely unboxing! What a gorgeous kit that is. Hoping it comes to QVC in the UK sometime soon (probably Aug/Sept I think 🤞). I bought Anna’s birthday and Christmas boxes before and every one of them had been amazing! So much in them and you’ll have lots left over after making 48 cards. I can usually make another 10-12 with the extras and some card blanks and papers. I really do prefer the separate inserts. I don’t like the inside pre-printed. It means this time you have to start from the inside (choice your verse first) then you can decorate the outside accordingly. So separate inserts all the way. Shame there is no Matt gold card this year. There was always the gold Matt foil card in the birthday boxes before though - I just checked my box from last year!! We had green and gold bows.😁 We never get any of the die sets for these boxes over here, so I don’t expect we’ll get them this year either, which is a big shame. I’m surprised you’ve never bought the boxes before now, but I do so hope you’ll enjoy using it to make some gorgeous cards. Thank you for sharing so I get a sneak peek of what’s to come. Best wishes Jules PS sent you a pm yesterday, so if you could reply that would be great. 💕
hoi hoi Jennifer, beautiful box. How many cards will you make? You are getting very busy to check out all those new boxes. Enjoy all the things you got today. Its a present, anyway I feel so when an order comes in. Just like a child in a candy bar 😀😀 Crafty hugs, thea
hoi hoi Thea! 🤗 That is how it feels, like presents brought by the delivery man 😊🎁 It makes 48 and I want to make them all, probably not in 1 sitting. Maybe 10 at a time. I mean yiu dont have that much to do unless I want to die cut some backgrounds or borders. I am making lots of catfs to put into sets to give as gifts for Christmas. It is called a 'card bank' . Do you ever do that? It is a great way to gift all those carfs I make. Hugs from Florida 🌴💕
This is a beautiful set. I agree with you, I prefer the paper inserts. I could use some of the bases for anniversaries, engagements, etc. it made the kit more versatile. TYFS.
Hello Janis 🤗 I never thought of that but you are right, that would make it better. Maybe if Anna gets feedback that everyone prefers it, she will change it back. It still is gorgeous but not sure if I know 48 people that are AG card worthy 😂💕
I do love both the Christmas and Birthday boxes. I do have to say that I miss the inserts. However, there is so much inside! I buy both boxes every year. They are so worth it. Enjoy!
Greetings! 🤗 I am so happy I got both and keep thinking " why have I not gotten these before?" Now my goal is to use as much as possible of it. Obviously the 48 cards, but I think I will have a bunch left over. Yay! 💕
I start by matching all the layers to the card bases and slip them into each base. If you do not do this, as you use up the bases, you may not like the layers left to choose from.
Hello Susan! 🤗 That is a good point. I think about it being flat and not to heavy so I don't need to pay $5/6 to mail a card. It is crazy how much pre planning goes into just giving some cards to charity. Such a king thing for you to do. 💕
Thank you for being so thorough on the contents inside the box. I really appreciate that.

I have both ended up with 2 Christmas lol. Two card bxs.
Hello Sharon! 🤗 2 of the die sets or two of the boxes? On purpose? Or messed up shipping
I would be good with 2 of either box for sure! 😁💕
I start by matching all the layers to the card bases and slip them into each base. If you do not do this, as you use up the bases, you may not like the layers left to choose from.
Hello Sheila! 🤗 Thanks you so much, what a great tip. I had not considered this but will do it now. 👍😊💕
i make cards for donation! i have to be careful though because they can only take 1 stamp since its for nonprofit agencies.
Hello Susan! 🤗 That is a good point. I think about it being flat and not to heavy so I don't need to pay $5/6 to mail a card. It is crazy how much pre planning goes into just giving some cards to charity. Such a king thing for you to do. 💕
