Tammy‘s Whoosh, Kites! card is so full of joy! She created her scene on a Scalloped Slimline base to include all the cute mice and kites. Then she framed it with rainbow-colored Pint-sized Patterns Summertime paper. I love how she paper-pieced the kites with more of the colorful paper!


Megan created a simple backdrop combining Pint-sized Patterns Summertime and Spiffy Speckles paper. Then she arranged the happiest kite-flying scene! I love her greeting that pairs Big Scripty Words with Whoosh, Kites! sentiments.


Audrey‘s card is so summery and fun! She stenciled the background before layering Giant Sending Love on top. It’s so perfect with the adorable mice!


Elise created a bright and colorful card by stamping all the kites on Pint-sized Patterns Summertime papers! She cut them out with the coordinating dies, then arranged them on another colorful paper panel. She also included the little puffy clouds in Whoosh, Kites for even more whimsy!


Latisha‘s card is so bright and cheery! She used the new Draped Ribbons Stencil to create a bold background! Then she colored the kites to match, making them the star of her card!


Marine amazing slimline card features Whoosh, Kites with Give It a Whirl! She used a new Give It a Whirl Messages: Friends to send a sunny greeting!


Then after giving it a whirl, another charming Whoosh, Kites scene appears. Could that upside down mouse be any cuter?


Yainea created a super clever design using lots of pretty Pint-sized Patterns Summertime papers! She used the different colors for the sky, the hillsides, the Scalloped Fringe Border and the Stitched Sentiment Banner!


Elena‘s Whoosh, Kites design is so sweet! The colors she used are so soft and pretty and the scene is full of happiness!


This Whoosh, Kites set is perfect for creating Platform Pop-Up cards! Mindy‘s design is a perfect example using acetate to suspend the kites above platform! It’s also very sunny, featuring our new Mr. Sun paper-piecing die set!


Grace created another gorgeous slimline card featuring the happy Whoosh, Kites critters! Like Tammy’s card, she also used a scalloped slimline panel to build a summery scene! I love those beautiful rainbow colors so much!


The Stitched Hillside Backdrop is a perfect way to create a fun scene with Whoosh, Kites! We also included our Give It a Whirl Messages: Friends greeting!

  1. I flew one for the first time last year on a beautiful beach near us. My gorgeous husband bought me one that had a colourful butterfly on it I had the best day it was so relaxing

  2. Finding the perfect weather and the perfect area to fly a kite is hard, I’ll just let the mice have fun with that within my craft room. 😆

  4. Absolutely love flying kites!! Used to do it often when my kiddos were little and now with my grandkids!

  5. I did fly a kite when I was younger, it looked like a butterfly. Adorable stamp set, love ❤️ all the card inspirations created by the Lawn Fawn team.

  12. Ngl, being out in the wind is not something I enjoy that much, because here the wind is freezing cold 😅😬

  13. I like watching kites that other people are flying, but I haven’t flown one myself in years and years.

  16. I’ve never had much luck with kites. But I do love to watch them. So many beautiful colors!

  19. This is my favorite set so far. The adorable mice flying kites is just so cute! The inspiration is overwhelming! As a child, I may have tried flying a kite once or twice, but it never actually stayed up in the air for me LOL

  23. Tried a couple of times, but… no, I gave up each time! I just don’t seem to get the hang of it… Ha, ha – no pun intended!

  28. I have never flown a kite in my life. No good reason why not. Just wasn’t a thing I guess in the small town where I grew up in the Midwest. I don’t recall anyone else flying a kite either. I love seeing them flown though. : )

  36. This set is so adorable! Watching the video gave me so much inspiration to use this set for 🥰 I have never flown a kite before, and probably never will haha

  40. I love flying kites. The activity was a sure sign Spring had arrived when we went to the store to pick out kites and tearing up sheets for the kite tail. The next best thing is the new kite stamps and dies!

  42. I attempted unsuccessfully flying a kite as a kid, but this stamp set is sure cute. Love the DT cards.

  43. We flew kites when my girls were young. It was so fun to see the soar. Love the kits in the samples today.

  48. I do like to fly kites, my husband got me a new one for my birthday last year. I think I need the LF kites now too!

  50. I would love to successfully fly a kite. I have some fun memories as a child attempting to with my frustrated father. Now we can laugh…this is an adorable set I will definitely enjoy!

  53. ha! I haven’t flown a kite since I was a kid (many years ago! lol) and not very well. lol Those mice sure seem to have it down pat!!

  55. The last time I flew a kite was on top of the tallest mountain in Arizona. What an experience!!!

  57. Love to fly a kite, have not done it in over 20 years when the kids were little. Such a cute set, I love those mice

  60. I haven’t flown a kite in ages, but have many happy memories of doing so. One of my favorite movie scenes is the end of Mary Poppins – “let’s go fly a kite…” Many happy cards ahead with this adorable set.

  62. It’s been many, many years since I flew a kite. I didn’t have the knack to keep the kite in the air very long, but it was always great fun when the kite did finally stay aloft for a little while.
    These projects all look spectacular.

  63. When I was a kid, I loved it. My husband and I flew kites when our children were smaller. I love this set! I have the kite die and will go perfectly with this stamp set.

  64. I would love to fly a kite again but I’m not sure I could move fast enough to get the kite up. Lol

  67. As a kid, I flew kites (kinda! 🤣) quite a bit. Since moving recently, I should see if there’s a good spot for flying one. 🪁🪁🪁

  68. When my kids were little, we would fly kites every Easter. But they are old enough now, they live on their own in different states, so regarding kite flying now, the closest I get is telling someone to “ go fly a kite”🤣

  70. Used to fly kites as a kid but haven’t for many MANY years. When we were in Florida in March there were so many people flying kites on the beach – now I want to try it again! This set is adorable!

  71. Flying kites is a big part of my childhood memories. We would fly them on the beach in the evenings. Loved it!

  75. I think it must be 35 years since I have flown a kite. I used to fly kites at the beach with my dad.

  79. This stamp set is darling! I haven’t flown kites in a really long time but, I do remember in private school growing up we would have “kite day” and we would all get to go out and fly our kites –I remember that being a really fun day we all looked forward to!

  81. I love flying kites on an ocean beach. They just look so amazing there and you don’t have to worry about kite eating trees. 😊

  83. The funnest part of kite flying is trying to get it in the air. We end up cracking up and all the energy it takes

  84. Haven’t flown a kite in years but we have some put away just waiting for the right weather conditions – it’s either gale-force winds where I live or no wind at all!

  85. I wish I could run fast enough to get a kite going. I haven’t flown a kite in years Absolutely love this little stamp set.

  87. I’m not very good at flying kites and haven’t tried to fly one in years but I love to watch when others are flying them.

  89. Reminds me of the song from Mary Poppins…let’s go fly a kite, up to the highest height!
    Lots of kite flying when my daughter was little.

  91. Gosh, come to think of it, it’s been years since we’ve flown kites. We had the coooooolest kite for my girls when they were very little, time to find a new one and make more memories!

  94. Kites are fun! I have always wanted to fly a kite but never did until a few years ago my friends and I were on a paper crafting girls weekend at a beach cottage. We bought a kite and flew the kite on the beach. It was a perfect moment with my friends! These stamps an dies are so much fun!!

  95. I haven’t tried to fly a kite in years! It’s a little tricky. The weather conditions have to be just right.

  96. Love the kites! Adorable samples!
    We used to fly kites often when my daughter was little! Haven’t done it in many years!

  99. I love to see kites flying more than actually doing. When the kids were younger we tried to fly some around our neighborhood and found it never was really windy enough and the only way to keep the kite up was by constantly running! We traveled to the beach and discovered flying kites was much easier there, where there was a nice constant breeze!

  100. OMGosh! The last time I flew a kite was when my children were little. We lived in the country, and my daughter got her kite in the sky, however, her Daddy had to take over because we didn’t want it to come down. That kite was so far up, that it actually ended up getting caught in a tree on the top of a hill that sat next to our house We looked at that kite for weeks, before a storm took it down. No way to get it out of that tree. Mother Nature had to take care of that one. Thanks for that memory! I can’t wait to see this set and all the new ones.

  101. This set makes me think of Mary Poppin’s and the song, “Let’s go fly a kite, Up to the highest point!” I haven’t flown a kite in years but I do enjoy seeing a kite flying high in the sky! This is such a cheerful stamp and die set!!

  106. I love that the cute mice are always having so much fun! I wish I could say that I am as good at flying kites as they are. Lol

  108. I haven’t flown a kite in forever. My husband has handmade kites that his grandfather brought back from trips to China in the 60s. They look like dragons. When on a trip to Seattle we took our kids to a park to fly kites. I have seen pictures in magazines and that park in movies and TV shows with people flying kites.

  112. We used to fly kites a lot when the kids were little, but it has been a long time since we have done that.

  118. I haven’t flown a kite in a long time. We used to do it with my daughter when she was little and we went to the beach. I miss those days!

  119. Flying kites has always been a tricky thing for me. There always too much wind or not enough, it never seems to be just right. I love to see people flying kites. I always think that it is fun to try.

  121. I used to love flying them as a kid, esp at my grandparents beach house in Nags Head NC. I haven’t flown one since my kids were little 🪁

  124. I used to fly kites when younger and actually built one out of balsa and a garbage bag in an high school at class. Yes, it did fly!!😄

  128. Whoosh Kites makes me want to fly a kite! I’m sure I made kites with my Dad, and he got them off the ground for me. I’d squint up at them for a while. Mom brought lunch, so…that’s where my thoughts would wander to. Mmmm: Mom’s fried chicken!

  131. Kite flying brings back memories of my kids growing up. Love this new stamp set of the kite flying mice!

  181. I must confess that I have never flown a kite. I think I had one once, I tried to fly it but it didn’t work so I got disappointed and didn’t try it again. I guess kites were never my thing.

  184. I think I only tried once as a child, and I want very good at it!! 🪁 I do love to see them fly though x

  188. I have enjoyed flying kites when I was younger. Now I love to watch others fly the big fancy kites like at Lincoln City Oregon kite festival.

  189. When I was a little, I flew a kite with my dad cuz there were some open field nearby. But not since high school years, which is a very long time ago… I love to see people fly kites, though!

  285. It’s very windy where I live and flying kites can be rather challenging. Still an enjoyable time at the park.
