MY FAVORITE CRAFT SUPPLIES 2024

Lawn Fawn had some really cool stuff coming out in 2024, here are all my favorites.

STAMPS:

A Waffle Lot

This stamp set matched the Let’s Toast stamp set perfectly. I loved these waffle images. And I loved how many different types of waffles you could create, using other Lawn Fawn sets.

 

Veggie Happy

This is a new favorite, I really enjoyed creating all these veggie patches with these cute litte mice. I especially loved how you could add the signs with the names on it. And they were super fun to color as well.

 

Kanga-Rific

This set was perfect for Mother’s Day and I did use it to make a card for my own mom this year. I thought it was very clever to add a die that cuts the pouch of the kangaroo, so you could add the little baby kangaroo inside the pouch.

 

All the Speech Bubbles

This is one of the most handy sets Lawn Fawn released this year. I can add these to so many cards, whenever I don’t have room for a bigger sentiment. And so many of their sets have tiny sentiments that fit this speech bubbles ánd Lawn Fawn has a bunch of speech bubble sentiment sets as well.

 

Treat Cart + Treat Cart Coffee Add-On

The Treat Cart set was already amazing, but they also came out with the Coffee Add-On set. And I think this is not where it end, I believe Lawn Fawn can figure out some other cool ways to adorn this treat cart.

 

Critters in the Desert

I found this to be the most unique Lawn Fawn set of the year, because of the critters that came with it. Some of these animals we never had in other sets yet, like the fox, the roadrunner or the scorpion. I really loved playing with these images. I created a bunch of desert themed cards this year.

 

Little Woodland Library

If I have to pick a favorite this year, this is the one. As an avid reader, I was so pleased to get a book themed set, finally. I loved the little library and all the cute critters that came with it. I especially loved the mole, we didn’t have one of these yet.

 

Frosty Family + Frosty Family Add-On

I always loved the snowman die set, where you can build your own snowman. But this set is amazing as well. I used a ton of times for Christmas cards this year.

 



DIES: 

Radiant Heart Backdrop

This die was perfect for Valentine’s Day or for a friendship card, wedding card or for anyone you just really cared for.

 

Stitched Garden Veggies + Stitched Root Veggies

These two die sets I put together, because they were made to be combined. I loved using these dies, die cutting these veggies and coloring them with Copic Markers.

 

Stitched Sentiment Banners

Just like the All the Speech Bubbles stamp set, was this die set one you could use for so many different cards. Just to make your sentiment pop off the card. I loved that they are stitched and they are in different sizes.

 

Stitched Bookmark + Book Collection

As an avid reader these dies made me so happy. I made a bunch of bookmarks this year, for others mostly. And the Book Collection was also a perfect way to create book themed projects for my fellow readers. And myself of course.

 

Cute Candy Canes

This die made it very easy to create simple Christmas cards that packed a punch. I hate the taste of candy canes, but I love crafting with them.

 



OTHERS: 

Spiderweb Background Stencil

I’m a fan of creating Halloween themed cards, wo I was very happy with the spiderweb pattern for stenciling. I had several spiderweb patterns in it, to create a background for your spooky themed cards.

 

Candy Cane Lane Paperpad

Stripes are always a favorite, but there were many other Christmassy patterns in this paperpad. And many non-traditional Christmas colors, which I thought was super fun. And the striped papers also had gold foiling on them.

 

Falling Leaves Paperpad

I’m happy with anything fall, plaid or leaf patterned. This was my favorite pattern paper set of the year. Loved the colors and all the patterns that came in this paperpad.
