Plus, be sure to read all the way to the end of the post to find out if you’re a winner of one of our 18th birthday giveaway prizes! Hooray!
My Favorite Things has had several amazing releases so far this spring! From stamps to dies, to stencils and patterned paper, there has been a little of everything. A standout is the new Stitched Eyelet Lace STAX Die-namics. Available in both rectangles and circles, you will love having these dies in your paper crafting arsenal!
Neatly spaced eyelet holes nestled within pretty scallops run around the perimeter of these rectangles and circles and are punctuated by a perfect line of stitches culminating in a trifecta of delicate details. Use these sets to spotlight a sentiment or showcase a scene. They will also serve beautifully as an option for matting layers or simple accents. You could even trim along the edge to create a border or use a smaller die to cut the middle out to create a stunning frame! Versatile? Oh, yeah!

Pairing an essential assortment of sympathy, encouragement, and appreciative sentiments with a stunningly elegant floral die mix, this card kit provides the elements necessary to tackle a range of challenging circumstances with grace and heartfelt words of love and support.

I love My Favorite Things die-namics. Both sets are gorgeous and would be great to have in my stash. I would probably pick up the circle set first. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would add the circles first, but then the rectangles. Love them both.
Great release from MFT, I’d definitely add the circles first! Love them! Congrats to all the birthday winners!
That’s a tough question, but I would probably grab the circles first.
I love the circles – kind of remind me of a doily!
I love MFT. I love them both, but I would probably add the circles first because they are different than what I already have.
I would probably pick the rectangles to add to my craft room items. I find the most use for those on my cards. But both are great items to add to my collection. Thanks for the giveaway.
Rectangles would be first.
I love the circles!
Both die sets are awesome! I have multiple rectangle dies so I’d probably add the circles first. I could definitely use more circle dies.
The eyelet stacks are absolutely adorable dies
Gorgeous cards from the team, I’d choose the circles first!
Tough choice, but I’d probably pick the circles to try some circle cards.
I would add the rectangles first because I would probably use them more than the circles. But I love those circles, too; so they would be on the list as well.
I love these eyelet edge dies–I think I would add the rectangles to my cart first, since I make more of that shaped cards, but the circles would follow as soon as the budget allowed!
Definitely the rectangles first. I find I design more in a box kind of format than circles. But MFT is one of my favourite companies, so many versatile products!
These cards are so pretty! I would probably add rectangles to my cards first, but round cards look so fun :)
Congratulations to all the birthday winners, and happy, happy 18th birthday SCT!!
I would be happy to have either shape in my stash. So hard to choose.
I would definitely grab the circles. MFT Is top notch! Anything from their store would be fabulous!

I love MFT! It’s such a hard decision, but I would choose the rectangles. I tend to use that shape more in my card making.
I’d love to have both! But would probably start with the rectangles.
Love these dies, and I’d probably use rectangles on a card first, but I’d use the circles on a layout anytime. Love that you can both the stitch look and the lacy stitch look. I think these will go on my next wish list.
I love them both! I would add the circles first to my cart!
Love them both but would add the rectangle to my cart first as I would probably use it more!! Thanks for sharing this
I will definitely be adding the rectangles first! Love MFT!
I love them both. It is hard to choose, but I think I’d pick the circles first.
I’d add the rectangles first! Already have several circles!
Both are great sets, but I think I would go with the circle as it sure spotlights a picture or greeting.
I would probably buy the rectangle die set! Thanks for the giveaways
I would add the rectangle died first
I would choose the rectangles first followed closely by those circles
I would order the rectangles first. I use rectangle dies all the time and these would add another useful die to my arsenal.
Love MFT and both sets, but the circles would go in my cart first❤️
Both sets are great but I think I would have the circles first, then the rectangles.
Congratulations to all the winners! I love both dies, but would probably add the circles first!
I would love both sets! I don’t do card but I can used them in my layouts! Love that they have tiny holes and a stitch borders.
Love the new MFT dies! I’d probably do the rectangles first because they would fit on so many of my cards that I’m already making!
These sets are just lovely! I would go rectangle. Thanks for the opportunity.
MFT always rocks it with their creativity!! Love this company! It’s a tough call to say which I’d choose first cuz I love them both, but probably I’d choose the rectangle dies first! ❤️
I make mostly A2 cards so I’d probably use the rectangles first. But why not both?! Thank you for the awesome opportunity!
I love both the rectangles and circles but I would go for the rectangles first. I think they are more versatile.
I would add the circles first and then immediately add the rectangles.
I love My Favorite Things because they are!!!! I’d use the rectangles before the circles but they would all be good in my stash!!!
I think I’d add the circles first, but honestly both the circles and rectangles would end up in my cart! Love MFT.
