Let the Birthday Bash Begin!
Hi everyone! Not only are we celebrating the birth of our nation today, but this weekend My Favorite Things turns THREE! (We’ll be celebrating that all month long.) AND tomorrow is Kim’s birthday (Miss MFT herself)!

Happy Birthday
I’m a little late with getting my card in the mail, but this is for Kim…and MFT. (See, three candles.) I used one of my first MFT sets, You Take the Cake. I paper-pieced the girl…because that’s what I like to do
, the cake was colored and popped up, and I used clear
crystals in the centers of some of the flowers. Beneath the card is a matching envelope I made from two pieces of cardstock and scraps of the patterned paper. The inside of the card is finished as well and reads “You take the cake.”
So how are we celebrating at MFT?
This weekend ONLY (July 4th and 5th), we are offering a Buy 3, Get 2 FREE promo!
Purchase any 3 full-priced stamp sets (excludes July new releases) and we will add:
1) One set from our Get Sentimental category (we will select the set for you) AND
2) A FREE set of YOUR choice! (Excludes July new releases).
The July new releases are excluded from this promotion. They don’t count as either your Buy 3 sets OR the 2 FREE sets. They are:
But since we know the new stuff is on your wish list, we are EXTENDING the 10% discount on these sets through Sunday, July 5th as well!
I don’t know how much celebrating we will be doing today as my husband is still sick. (He’s a little better.) We’ll see how the day goes. But for my US friends, have a very safe and FUN Fourth!
