Let the Festivities Begin — the May Release Countdown Starts NOW!
From Festive Old Friends to unbearably adorable bunny and bear pals (Cuteness Overload!), the new release will delight you. You'll be happy to stay cozy and crafty right at home while dreaming of your next adventure with this incredible release!
Birdie Brown stamps and Die-namics dies are a hallmark of the My Favorite Things family, and it brings us incredible joy to share this remarkable line with the world.

We love the Birdie Brown line of products, and are excited about offering the opportunity for our customers to continue crafting and collecting her beloved designs.

- One winner will be randomly selected from each countdown day, and all winners will be announced at 8 AM EDT on May 4 on the MFT Blog.
FESTIVE OLD FRIENDS
There’s no friend like an old friend and no one better to celebrate with than the ones that have known you longest! Festive Old Friends is the follow-up to the hugely popular Old Friends set. You’ll make indelible memories with this quintet of rejoicing retirees. All the party essentials are included — balloons, gifts, party hats, and of course a sweet treat with a LOT of candles — so get the party started SOON (because bedtime comes sooner than you expect!)
The coordinating dies are open inside to allow you to stamp, then cut OR cut, then stamp. This feature keeps our dies lightweight and allows for easy removal of the die cut from the die.

IN STITCHES ALPHABET DIE-NAMICS
A classic alphabet die set is an essential component of a well-rounded cardmaking toolbox, and the In Stitches Alphabet fits the bill perfectly. This set features a 1” tall alphabet with a neat line of stitching down the center of the lines that comprise each letter. The size of these letters makes them an ideal option for creating a text-based design and lends them well to integrating into sentiments created with stamped lead-in and follow-up phrases.
PUNCHED PATTERN STENCIL
You’ll get so much enjoyment exploring all the styles this cool stencil can be integrated into. From industrial to modern to creating subtle texture for the most feminine of looks, your color choices and techniques determine the outcome. You have to love a design that works with everything!
INK PADS, CUBES, REFILLS, AND CARD STOCK
This release features a gorgeous new cool blue for you to add to your growing collection of Premium Dye Inks and heavyweight card stock. The ink pad and cube feature a firm foam surface for impeccable coverage, and the updated formula was designed for improved stamp impressions. You'll also find four customer favorites updated to the new design. Each color is available as both a 3 3/8" x 2 1/8" foam pad as well as a perfectly portable ink cube featuring a 1" x 1" foam pad.

I’m always so super excited about each new release but the sadness at Torico retiring is real. I loved loved loved this line of stamps. I hope she comes back for a special edition in the future at some point. I sure am grateful that her stamps will be coming back though.
Festive old friend stamp set makes me smile! _

Once again, MFT knocks it out of the park! Such a great new release, especially for us over 50, the new 30!
The daisies are lovely, but the chubby little guy in the arm chair wins the cuteness award hands down!! This is going to be a great release!!
Love the old friends set and the in stitches alphas!
Beautiful flowers 🌼
How exciting!!! New release time once again! This is always my favorite time! The Festive Old Friends set is adorable and perfect for my stash. I have very little directed towards older people specifically. And the Freshly Picked Bouquet is both beautiful and versatile. Love the scripted sentiments in it! I also love all things stitched and the In Stitches alphabet dies are a MUST HAVE! The new Punched Pattern stencil is cool and also very versatile. Love, love, love the new color Something Blue in ink pads and card stock! Another must have. And the new updated formula to our beloved favorite inks. Keep up the good work!
Loving the Old Friends for those totally “adult” occasions!
so funny!
So cute!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the release!
Love the sketched style of the freshly picked bouquet stamps
