Ordered this last night after about a million should I or shouldn’t I. I think it will be very useful for lots of things! Thanks for your inspiration tonight!
I love Anna Griffin things and I never thought I would. For me the trick is I love the quality of her items but I would not ever over layer and embellish the way she does. Many people do love that style though. I think what is important is to incorporate one's own style into whatever you use in your creations. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am always inspired from them and I enjoy your presentation. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I totally agree, I think we can still make a lovely card that doesn't use so may layers, stickers, money. LOL!! I once saw her make a card were she layered so much, she completely covered the two bottom layers. Weren't even visible, like what is that for? (:
I got the c.c. staming platform today so much better than the rubber mat thing she was selling this stamps perfect and you can restamp and know where you stamped before!!
I like her embellishments, her dies and her halloween... the thing about AG, is you can decided how flowery or fancy you like it, no rules on having to use it all, if you don't want.... me I like a touch of fancy, so I tend to get more out of her ktis, than suggested... TFS, another awesome creation. thanks for the review.
Enjoy your videos even when I don’t like the products. I bought one AG card kit right after I stated card making several,years ago-and had a lot of fun playing with it but never sent one of the cards and dumped them in the trash a few years ago. They are just way too fancy for me plus I don’t like die cut stickers. Like you said everything she does looks the same. I also have several of her ornate dies and embossing folders which I will probably never use. However, I love her machines...I have both the empress and the mini and love them both, much better than the Gemini which stopped working after about a year and a half. I also love the mini minc.
I'm glad to hear your machines are doing great. So far, I don't know if I have a fave machine, but it is weird that my Geminis make horrible noises sometimes! LOL! They cut perfectly, but can sound so bad at times. I like to buy pretty much everything she comes out with, but my motto for the year is only buy what I will actually use and use the things I already have. Wish me luck!!
I love this set and also purchased the rectangle set. I can never measure a card and it always seems a little off so with these sets I always have a perfect card base. I am not a fan of her ephemera BUT her dies are such a good quality, my favorite is her bow set. I love using layers but with my own whimsical style. I use several layers with maybe scrolls, leaves etc. and then pop a colored stamped girl from Pollkadoodles (Winnie) on top. Love all your videos!
Thank you so much for reviewing these. I'm like you...the big die...what's the point? But the rest of those dies are great. I love nesting dies and these shapes are nice and it was a good price for all of them. The card came out really cute too!!!
i didnt get these square dies ...Did you get the C.C. box card with auto ship??? or the alphabet dies and stamps ??? would love to see you make the box...I made one!! love itI also bought the background dies and got some complments on the marble stamp cause I used it on my box
@@VianneyCreates oh yea!!! I used the balloon alphabets stamps and dies on a scrap book page yesterday Im really glad I got them, they were a last minute buy that day and not sorry...they have really nice lines in them as if the lightis hitting off them...I have some colored file folders that will make great shiny like real balloons... i bought the stamp platform also even tho I swear I have every one on the market...each one has a certain thingI like...gave my misti away it was my least favorite and the hinges were all cracking...I have been using the we r memories keeper for over a year, its great but I wanted a bigger one and this one from C.C. seems to be doing the jb without those prongs sticking up like on the we r one...
Super cute! You did a great job on this card. The completionist in me is so wanting this die set, but my more practical side keeps saying that I don't make square cards! Lol
Great set, I love that AG stuff coordinates between different kits so we can use it more. what I don’t like is the price point lol! Thanks for sharing,
I was just looking at this on Hsn yesterday. It was still available. I'm glad you showed a less intricate version. I had stopped buying her stuff for that reason.
Space. I don't have a table or work area that has enough clearance in the back. So, I keep them on a desk and then put them on the floor when I go to use them. If I can get around having to bring them out, I will! LOL!!
I have, been buying their stuff for at least 14-15 years. I first only ever saw them at Scrapbook Expos, really nice people. I love that they have blown up, an like to see all of the new stuff they come out with. I haven't bought anything from them in like 5 years, but I do like their stuff.
Enjoyed the tutorial, Vianney! It’s a good way to make AG’s dies more versatile. TYFS🌸🦋
Thanks for this video. I have just purchased this in January 2021. I am so happy to see how to put it to good use! Thanks for sharing.
This is very pretty Vianney and I like that you used a brown card background. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Thanks so much! I like craft cardstock and am trying to use it more.

@@VianneyCreates agree!!! love her stuff but dont want to lose the bottom layers...
Thanks for all the tips you mentioned.
Happy to help! TY!
Pretty card, excellent video!🌺
Thanks so much!
Another lovely class!! Thank you so much, Have a Beautiful Blessed Evening!!
TY, Shenna!
Nice demo of the dies. How fun that you found some paper in a box in the garage!
I know, right? It was all of those little 6x6 and 4x6 pads that we pick up bc "oh, they're just $5." LOL!!!
Awesome tutorial and lovely card! Thanks for taking us along, Tai
TY!!
I got the c.c. staming platform today so much better than the rubber mat thing she was selling this stamps perfect and you can restamp and know where you stamped before!!
I'm so glad you like it! Enjoy!
I like it has an easel card, glad you changed your mind.
Thanks so much!!

It's hard for me to balance too much and looking chintzy! LOL!! I'll have to learn that.

Thanks for the video, I also got this set. Nice and fast card! ❤️
It can make a card very fast. TY!

Thank you so much! I actually used them again today for a different review video and just cut my own card base. It's not hard to do. LOL!!

I did get the pop up box autoship, but not the alphabet dies. I just finished recording the box tutorial, I'll release it tomorrow probably.

speaking of her animal prints shes coming out with 12 by 12 in march..love them!!!
I'll have to buy that! LOL!
Super cute! You did a great job on this card. The completionist in me is so wanting this die set, but my more practical side keeps saying that I don't make square cards! Lol
Right? I like to collect everything but I'm trying to stop doing that, too.
Great set, I love that AG stuff coordinates between different kits so we can use it more. what I don’t like is the price point lol! Thanks for sharing,
LOL!! I hear ya!!
I was just looking at this on Hsn yesterday. It was still available. I'm glad you showed a less intricate version. I had stopped buying her stuff for that reason.
It feels overwhelming, doesn't it? This is a great set, though.
It doesn't look like Anna Griffin style,, but still beautiful. Tfs
Thanks so much, tried to use it in a different way. (:
I almost got them but I did not because I dont send a lot od square (5x5) cards but now I really wish i did get the..
The shaped dies are great, the card dies are kind of useless in my opinion. It is a great set for the price.
Wondering why you don’t use your regular Gemini or empress?
Space. I don't have a table or work area that has enough clearance in the back. So, I keep them on a desk and then put them on the floor when I go to use them. If I can get around having to bring them out, I will! LOL!!
Lovely! Well of course Anna Griffin has a certain style but so doesn’t Tim Holtz. Thank you for sharing!
True!! Thanks so much!
Vianney, have you tried Heartfelt Creations?
I have, been buying their stuff for at least 14-15 years. I first only ever saw them at Scrapbook Expos, really nice people. I love that they have blown up, an like to see all of the new stuff they come out with. I haven't bought anything from them in like 5 years, but I do like their stuff.
@@VianneyCreates oh wow! If you want to sell your older HC products, pls think of me? Thanks. I love their products. Oh boy, this hobby is not cheap!
LOL! HC has always been pretty expensive, at least they would give me a military discount at the Expos!! (:
If you got the platinum membership card, that’s an additional discount
