Hi readers! It’s the day all of the Lawn Fawn fans have been waiting for!! (that includes me :D) Welcome to Lawn Fawn STAMPtember® release day!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Lawn Fawn.  Kelly and Mike are as sweet and kind as they are intelligent and talented! We are so excited to be announcing our 2nd exclusive set with this fantastic company, and hope that this sweet mouse set touches your heart as much as it did mine!

Lawn Fawn is a small company from Southern California that specializes in crafting products (clear stamps, dies, paper & more) that are fun and lively. Lawn Fawn was started in 2010 when Kelly Marie combined forces with her husband Mike and friend Erica with a mission in mind – to bring smiles into the lives of crafters!!

Kelly Marie Alvarez’s love for crafting is at the heart Lawn Fawn. Her energetic personality brightens the life of everyone she meets! She enjoys spending her free time (when she can get it!) playing guitar, and relaxing with her husband Mike and their dog Daphne.

Mike Toy is a business guru and all around friendly guy. He works with his wife Kelly Marie on keeping the business side of Lawn Fawn neat and tidy. He likes playing video games, golf, or just about any other sport you can think of.

Erica Truex is a graphic designer and illustrator. She collaborates with Kelly Marie to create cute stamps and crafting goodies that are truly one of a kind. Erica enjoys yoga, drawing, and spending time with her husband Andy, daughter Sonia, and dog Geisel.

There are lots of other wonderful people who help keep Lawn Fawn running smoothly! And don’t forget to check out the amazing design team, who inspire the team every day.

Lawn Fawn is named after a plastic deer that Kelly Marie received as a 21st birthday present. She named him Francois the Lawn Fawn, and he became a good luck charm of sorts. When deciding on a name for the company Lawn Fawn just seemed perfect. It is cute, whimsical and quirky, just like us!

In addition to their blog and online shop, follow along with Lawn Fawn on  Twitter , Facebook and YouTube.

Kelly so graciously made an absolutely adorable card and matching gift box to celebrate this exclusive release and also made a video introducing the stamp and die set, as well as giving a full tutorial on how to make this adorable duo! Be sure to check it out. :)

Watch the video:

In addition to the Merry Christmouse stamp & die set, Kelly used the following supplies to complete this project:
