Stationery lovers and those into crafting will especially love what I have to share. I recently had the pleasure of receiving two beautiful card making kits from the internationally acclaimed designer, Anna Griffin.

If you’ve ever wanted to create cards that feel like a cherished gift, this review will walk you through the luxurious details and the simple assembly process of Anna Griffin and her sophisticated signature card kits.

What Anna Griffin Does Best: The Signature Style

Anna Griffin’s brand is synonymous with classic elegance, intricate patterns, and a heavy dose of luxury. The sheer quality and prefinished nature of the components are what sets her card kits apart. By the time you’re through, you’ll produce cards that go beyond extraordinary in exquisiteness while sending lasting cherished memories to recipients!

Pre-Finished Luxury: What you’ll adore is that every element from the card bases to the smallest die-cut embellishment come with stunning details like gold foil accents, embossing, and beautiful watercolor-style botanical prints.
Dimensionality: The kits provide layers and pre-cut 3D embellishments, allowing you to quickly stack pieces to achieve a gorgeous, dimensional, and truly high-end finish.
Simple Assembly: These are designed as “stack and stick” kits. There is no need for complicated die-cutting machines, printing, or intricate measuring, making them accessible even for crafting beginners.

Kit Deep Dive: Tree-Shaped Holiday Cards

The Tree-Shaped Cards and Embellishments kit is the perfect way to make your holiday greetings stand out.

The Look: This kit features non-traditional, unique card bases cut into the shape of a Christmas tree. The colors and patterns are vintage-inspired—think classic reds, golds, forest greens, and delicate plaid patterns.

Highlights: The pre-shaped cards eliminate the trickiest part of unique card design. The embellishments are scaled perfectly to “trim” the trees, allowing you to add garlands, ornaments, bows, and sentiments like “Merry Christmas” or “Joy” with ease. It’s like decorating a tiny, elegant Christmas tree that can be mailed!

Inclusions

This generous kit makes 36 cards and includes:

• 36 5″ x 7″ Tree Shaped Cards (4 each of 9 designs)
• 36 Envelopes (5.25″ x 7.25″)
• 16 sheets of 6.25″ x 9″ Christmas Tree Embellishment Stickers (228 total, 2 sheets each of 8 designs)
• Idea Sheet
• Storage Pouch

The Impact: Receiving a card in a truly unique shape is memorable. These cards are designed to be displayed and cherished long after the season ends.

Kit Deep Dive: Versatile Gratitude Cards

The Gratitude Card Kit offers year-round utility with Anna’s signature sophistication.

The Look: These cards typically feature soft, beautiful floral and botanical designs in a timeless palette. The sentiments are centered around appreciation, thanks, and thinking of you.

Dual-Purpose Use: While they are ideal for general thank-you notes, I particularly appreciate how well they function for postholiday thank-you cards. Using these elegant, high-quality cards to express appreciation for Christmas or birthday gifts adds a layer of genuine care. The beautiful floral designs created for these cards transition perfectly from Christmas (to thank a host or a gift-giver) right into the new year and beyond.

This kit contains everything needed to create 12 dimensional cards:

• 12 Cards Shaped (2 each of 6 designs)

Kit Summary: The collection includes all necessary components—from card bases to pre-tied bows and adhesives—ensuring every card you make looks polished and thoughtful.

Overall Verdict: Are These Kits Worth It?

Absolutely. If you value high quality, stunning presentation, and time-saving convenience, these kits are a worthwhile investment. You can create 30 to 40 beautiful, personalized cards in the time it would take to make just a handful of cards from scratch.

These kits are the perfect solution for anyone who:

• Wants to send truly impressive, handmade-quality greetings.
• Doesn’t have the time or tools for extensive crafting.
• Appreciates vintage style, intricate detailing, and rich color palettes.

Anna Griffin delivers on her promise of “making beautiful things easy,” and both the holiday and gratitude card kits are stunning examples of that philosophy. Honestly, these artist-created card kits are unique for maximizing holiday cheer and special enough to frame instead of ever tossing out.
