Hello, lovely crafters! 💖

Today, I’m thrilled to share a gorgeous new project featuring a few of my favorite tools from the ever-elegant Anna Griffin collection! If you're a fan of interactive albums and dimensional detail, you're going to love this combination.

🎀 Featured Supplies:

• Anna Griffin Waterfall Die (new!)

• Anna Griffin Mini Album Die Set

• Anna Griffin Basket Weave Cardstock

📸 Want to See It in Action?

Check out my full tutorial video on YouTube where I walk you through the process from start to finish of the waterfall die and the building of the album.🎥 

These three elements will come together beautifully to create a sophisticated, layered mini album that flips, folds, and sparkles with that signature Anna Griffin flair.  Embellishing to be in part 2.

💡 Why I Love This Die Combo

The Waterfall Die is perfect for adding interactive elements to any project. When paired with the Mini Album Die Set, it creates a dynamic and flowing visual experience! The die is intuitive and pairs seamlessly with Anna’s pre-sized album pages.

To add a touch of texture and class, I used Anna’s Basket Weave Cardstock, which adds depth without overwhelming the delicate floral and foil accents in the rest of the design.

🧵 How I Built My Album

1. Base Construction: I began by cutting and assembling the mini album base using the die set. This set includes spine die, frame dies and an embossing folder.

2. Waterfall Magic: Next, I added the panel for 5 pictures, waterfall insert on one of the interior of the back cover.  The Waterfall Die made this so simple—it scores and cuts all in one pass!

3. Details & Layers: I used the Basket Weave Cardstock on the front and inner covers for texture.

4. Finishing Touches: will be added in the next video.

🎀 Why Card Toppers?

Card toppers are a game-changer in card making. They're versatile, time-saving, and allow you to pre-assemble beautiful focal points that can be added to any blank card base in minutes. I love creating a batch of them to keep on hand for last-minute cards, or to mix and match when inspiration strikes.

---

🖨️ What You'll Need:

• Cricut machine (any model that uses Design Space)

• Anna Griffin digital designs 

• Cardstock in coordinating colors

• Adhesives (tape runner, foam dots for dimension)

• Anna Griffin embellishments (like her signature bows!)

• Optional: embellishments like pearls, die-cuts, or sentiments

---

🪄 Step-by-Step Tutorial:

1. Choose Your Design
   Browse your Anna Griffin digital library or Design Space files and select a designs that fits your theme—floral, vintage, birthday, thank you, etc.

2. Cut Your Layers
   Use your Cricut to cut each piece with precision. I recommend using a mix of foil, textured, and smooth cardstock for a rich layered effect.

3. Assemble with Dimension
   Use foam adhesive to layer each piece, giving your topper depth and a 3D look. Add sentiments or decorative die-cuts on top.

4. Add Finishing Touches
   No Anna Griffin project is complete without one of her signature bows. Add one to the corner or center of your topper to instantly elevate the whole piece.

5. Store or Use
   Attach to a blank card base or store in a clear sleeve to use later. These toppers make excellent gifts for fellow crafters too!

---

💡 Pro Tip:

Create themed batches—anniversaries, weddings, thinks of you—and keep them organized by occasion. You’ll never be short on a handmade card again!

🔥 Why HTV on Glass or Porcelain?

                                                                                        

You might be thinking, “Isn’t adhesive vinyl better for hard surfaces?” And yes—adhesive vinyl is typically the go-to, but HTV has a few key benefits:

• Cleaner finish with fewer air bubbles

• Slightly more durable with proper application

• Easier to weed intricate designs

• Great for curved surfaces like mugs and vases

It takes a little heat and pressure, but once applied, HTV creates a sleek, almost painted-on look that feels premium.

---

💡 Tips for a Successful Application:

• Always clean the surface thoroughly with alcohol to remove oils

• Use even heat—too hot or uneven, and the vinyl may peel

• Let it cool before peeling the carrier sheet (cool peel!)

• Avoid washing for 24–48 hours to let the adhesive fully set

• Hand wash only—no dishwashers!

---

🎨 Personalize Anything:

• Monogrammed mugs

• Custom candle jars

• Holiday decor

• Bridesmaid proposal gifts

• Labeling apothecary jars or spice containers

Once you master this trick, you’ll want to vinyl ALL the glass in your house!

---

📌 Final Thoughts

This project is simple but so impactful—and it opens the door to endless creative possibilities. Whether you're making gifts or crafting for your own home, HTV on glass and porcelain adds that extra special touch with just a little heat and creativity.

Yarn Organization Hack! Armoire Craft Storage Makeover

Yarn Storage Makeover: Transforming an Armoire for Crafting 🧶✨

If you’re a yarn lover, you know how quickly your stash can get out of hand—skeins rolling around, tangled fibers, and half-finished projects hiding in corners. I used to struggle with the same thing... until I looked at my old armoire and saw its hidden potential. With a little creativity, I transformed it into the ultimate yarn storage solution, and today I’m sharing the full makeover process with you!

In this post—and in my YouTube Video—you’ll see how I turned a cluttered piece of furniture into a clean, organized, and inspiring storage unit for all things yarn and crafty.

                                                                                       

---

🪄 Why Choose an Armoire?

An armoire is a perfect solution for crafters short on space—or for anyone who wants to combine storage with style. Instead of investing in new shelving or bulky plastic bins, I repurposed what I already had, giving new life to a piece that was just collecting dust.

Benefits of using an armoire for yarn storage:

• Keeps everything out of sight when closed

• Offers vertical space for shelving and baskets

• Adds charm and character to your craft room

• Easy to customize for your unique stash

---

🧺 The Makeover Process

Step 1: Clear Out and Plan
I started by emptying the armoire and taking inventory of my yarn. I sorted everything by type, weight, and color—this step alone helped me realize what I actually had and what I didn’t need.  While I may not have as much as some, but I had them in random bags around the house.  I needed help!

Step 2: Add Shelving and Storage Bins
I added adjustable shelves to make better use of the vertical space. Then, I brought in coordinating storage cubes.  You can label baskets to hold skeins, notions, and WIPs (works in progress).

Step 3: Display With Purpose
To make it feel cozy and creative, I displayed some yarn by color on open shelves and tucked the rest neatly into containers. I even left space for my favorite hooks, scissors, and pattern books.

Step 4: Final Touches
A few personal touches—like the rods I used to display my blankets—made it feel like a dedicated crafting nook, not just a closet full of supplies.  I went back and added an extension cord thru the back to be able to charge my neck light.  Now everything is one place!

---

🧶 Organization Tips for Your Yarn Stash

• Store yarn by weight or color for easy access

• Use clear bins or open baskets so you can see what you have

• Label everything—it saves time and keeps you sane

• Don’t forget to leave space for tools and pattern storage

---

Final Thoughts

This armoire makeover completely changed the way I use and enjoy my craft supplies. Instead of digging through drawers or hunting for a missing skein, everything is easy to see, reach, and appreciate. And the best part? It adds beauty and functionality to my craft space.

If you’re struggling with yarn clutter, I hope this inspires you to look at your existing furniture with fresh eyes. Sometimes, a little reimagining is all it takes!
