This card by Tammy is so gorgeous! She combined Caroling Mice, Village Hillside Border and Cobblestone Stencil with Riverside Backdrop: Landscape to create a wintry scene that is just so perfect!


Yainea’s card is so whimsical with pink and multiple shades of green! She layered a Stitched Mountain Border behind the Village Hillside Border to create a pretty backdrop for the Caroling Mice! Then she added the Fa La La La La Border for even more whimsy!


Mindy‘s Caroling Mice are singing “mice carols” on the porch of a stately red brick home! She used Shut the Front Door and Brick Stencil along with Cobblestone Stencil to create a scene that is so classic and charming.


Latisha‘s Caroling Mice card is so cheery! I love how she layered three Village Hillside Borders in unexpected colors, it’s so clever! Then she arranged the scene on a Cobblestone Stenciled ground and stamped the greeting from All the Santa Hats to finish her design.


Elise stenciled the snowflakes to create a frosty background for the cute Caroling Mice! I love how she added the string of lights from Treat Cart Add-On: Coffee between the two lamp posts!


Megan filled the Magic Iris Snow Globe with an adorable Caroling Mice vignette! They are singing around the Joy to All tree and there’s also a cute friend from Cheesy Christmas!


Elena used Riverside Backdrop: Portrait to create snowbanks along the stenciled cobblestone street. It’s the perfect backdrop for all of the cute Caroling Mice critters, benches and lamp posts! I love how she added cute details to the sweaters.


The hat-wearing Simply Celebrate Winter Critters mice are great paired with the new Caroling Mice! Marine designed another fantastic scene with Cobblestone Stencil, Snowflakes Stencil, Simply Celebrate Hangouts and a Christmas tree from Christmas Before ‘n Afters.


Audrey used Spooky Forest Backdrop to frame a frosty Caroling Mice scene! She added the stenciled cobblestones on an inked Snowy Backdrop, then she lit the streetlamps with a golden glow to warm the carolers.


Melissa inked the new Snowflakes Stencil on a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle as the perfect backdrop for a Big Messages: Christmas greeting!


Our guest designer used two rows of Village Hillside Border with red and blue doors to create a backdrop for the Caroling Mice that is so amazing! I love how she inked the gold foil All the Sparkles paper to create a pretty sunset!


Lynnette‘s Christmas card is so charming! The muted colors she used for the Caroling Mice and the Village Hillside Border add vintage style. And she used Candy Cane Lane papers for the background and the Stitched Rectangle Frame.


Lots of sneak peeks in Chari‘s amazing Village Hillside Border design! I love the glittery hillside and the big bold Giant Be Merry greeting!


Tammy framed a precious Caroling Mice scene in a Winter Wonderland Window. She gave her design a dramatic look with the gold foiled All the Sparkles paper as the night sky. Then she added Holly Leaves with a bow from Merry Mistletoe.


Mindy combined Village Hillside Border with Snowflakes Stencil to create a simple snowy scene! She arranged the Oh What Fun sleigh with Ready Set Snow snowmen, then she added the Merry Christmas greeting included in the new All the Santa Hats set!


Marine used the same combo of Snowflakes Stencil and Village Hillside Border for her card with a different result! Her busy design features our new Cozy Cats enjoying warm beverages at the Treat Cart! The blue color theme is so pretty!


The Caroling Mice are so cute as the stars of Grace‘s beautifully framed scene! She used Riverside Backdrop: Portrait, substituting the cobblestones for the river. An oval cut from Favorite Flannel Fall paper frames the scene while holly from Cute Candy Canes and a pretty bow finish the design.

  3. ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year!’ is my favorite. I like the cozy moments with my family. I don’t think we wil sing like the mices, but it’s always good to see each other in those days.

  11. I love “A Charlie Brown Christmas” album by Vince Guaraldi. It’s a tradition to play it at the start of every December. I’m sure the Lawn Fawn caroling mice would love it too!! ; )

  13. It’s really hard to pick just one! For sacred, I love O Holy Night and Joy to the World. For secular I love Silver Bells.
    The design team really rocked those adorable mice!

  14. October 1 my local radio station starts with the holiday music. I love any song Mannheim Steamrollers. Not going to lie, January 2 I’m happy the resume their normal program.

  16. I love Silent Night when sung with Night of Silence. I also love In the Bleak Midwinter, probably because that was one of my dad’s favorites to hear me play on the piano.

  27. So cute. A few of our family favorite songs are O Holly Nigh by singer John Berry, I’ll Be Home For Christmas by Elvis, and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.

  33. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) is my favorite but I also love A Marshmallow World and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. 🙂

  54. I love how the riverside backdrop was used to do a path in the village! I used it last week to make a skating pond for the mice. It was soooo cute! Such a versatile die! My favorite carol is Joy to the world!

  74. Christmas is my favorite time of year so I’d have a hard time picking just one but if I had to I’d say “I’m Dreamiing of a White Christmas”!

  81. There are so many great Christmas songs but Michael Buble’s “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas” is a favourite to kick off the Christmas season!!

  82. I love the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet of Little Drummer Boy and Peace On Earth. I also love every single product in this video!!!

  87. I am a Christmas songs fan, can’t start the season without them! White Christmas and Silent Night by Bing Crosby and I’ll be Home For Christmas by Tony Bennet are my favorites.

  90. I am a big fan of Christmas songs, cannot star the season without them, Among my favorites are White Christmas, Silent Night and I’ll be home for Christmas.

  95. I love, love, love Christmas songs so it’s difficult to choose a favorite but What Child is This is probably my first favorite! And for a light-hearted song, I love The Twelves Pains of Christmas!

  99. My favorite Christmas song is the Chipmunk Song. I used to listen to the Chipmunk Christmas album all the time as a kid, and even performed that song at a Christmas recital at school.

  100. The Drummer Boy! But I love music so there are multiple favorites for Christmas! These cards are amazing! The mice are my favorite!

  103. My favorite Christmas carol is “Do You See What I See?” Loved it since I was a little girl. Love the new products. Thinking about how to add them to my stash items 🙂

  104. These Caroling mice card on the instagram post, and on the blog are so cute!! What fun it will be to play with these new products!

  107. Squeeee! I love this cobblestone stencil. I really love all the music in the “Elf” movie, so my favorite song or carols are all of the ones in Elf!

  110. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is my absolute favorite Christmas song. Followed in close second by Marshmallow Christmas

  111. I love White Christmas, even though it hardly ever snows in San Francisco. And there’s a lot of carols I actually know the words to. Hah! I also like, All I want for Christmas Are My Two Front Teeth, and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. But I’m not sure those qualify as carols. Ha ha ha. (Or should that be Ho Ho Ho!)

  112. I love all of the Christmas music and can’t wait to start listening to it on November 1st! These caroling mice are simply adorable!

  122. My favorite is Silent Night because it’s a tradition in our church to sing it in German (our church’s original founders were German) at Christmas Eve service by candle light, circling the sanctuary.

  125. Good start everything is so cute. I have a Christmas CD by John Berry, and I love it. He has some beautiful Christmas ballads on it.

  128. My favorite Carol is Silent Night. It is a tradition to sing it at the end of our Candlelight Service as the candles are lit around the chapel in darkness. The light as it becomes brighter reminds me of the light of Jesus and the light He brings to my life. My favorite holiday song is Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.

  130. One of my favorite Christmas songs is What Is Christmas? By The Trans Siberian Orchestra.
    These caroling mice are adorable!

  135. I have always loved Away in a Manger. I think it goes back to the ceramic Nativity set my mother made for my Grandmother. Gramma searched and searched for a manger that would work with the set. She was so happy when she found one. She lovingly gave me her nativity with the manger after her last Christmas with us.

  139. I love so many Christmas carols, now you have me singing some in my head. Silent Night is one of my favorites and O Holy Night too. But I love them all. I love the new products too especially the cobblestone and snowflake stencils!

  143. My favorite Christmas carol is a Swedish one called Det strålar en stjärna from 1909. In English A star is shining.

  163. Oh man – this question led me to making a christmas/winter song playlist…I really like White Winter Hymnal by The Fleet Foxes… great for setting a wintery mood but good all year round.

  171. I love these caroling mice and that cobblestone stencil. Everything LF creates is fabulous.
    I love so many….Winter Wonderland (while not strictly xmas) and Sleigh Bells are two secular faves. I like Once in Royal David’s City and Lo, how a Rose ‘ere Blooming for religious ones.

    Lori S in PA

  178. Good Christian Men Rejoice and Do You Hear What I Hear are two of my favorites! I’m eager for Christmas to come! I love the cheese puns❤️

  199. Not sure I can pick one because thinking of one favorite reminds of another one and that’s my favorite, and so on. White Christmas by Bing Crosby which leads to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Barnaked Ladies, Christmas Song by Johnny Mathis…see

  201. I was trying to think of which I e was my favorite…and I realized that i love to whistle the tune of Let it Snow all year long…so maybe that’s it?
    🙂

  209. I like Frosty the Snowman because I love singing “Thumpety, thump, thump, thump. Thumpety, thump, thump, thump. look at Frosty go!”

  211. I can’t decide. It’s either “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, “Oh, Holy Night”, or “Come, Oh Come, Immanuel”.

  215. O Come All Ye Faithful is my favorite Christmas Carol! What a great intro video!! Caroling Mice are a must for my collection!

  217. My favorite Christmas song is an Irish carol – The Wexford Carol. I especially like Yo-yo Ma’s rendition. The caroling mice are wonderful!

  239. I have a whole playlist of christmas Songs, that are not the ones you hear everywhere all christmas season. Christmas Train, Christmas Without You, Blame it on the Mistletoe, Ring out the Bells, Christmas Time Again, Mary did you know… there are so many beautiful and cheerful ones, I just can’t pick one.

  251. The Little Drummer Boy has always been a favourite carol! This release is already amazing! Thanks for all the beautiful inspiration!!!

  255. It is too hard to pick a favorite Christmas carol, as I play Christmas music pretty much non-stop during the season. The traditional hymns are among my favorites though – O Holy Night, Angels We have Heard on High, etc.I adore these caroling mice and the new Village border.

  256. I know this will be a bit controversial but I’m really not a fan of Chrismas music. I am however a HUGE lawn fawn fan : )

  264. Love playing and singing all sorts of carols, but one of my fave songs to listen to is “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. Followed closely by “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”. LOL

  268. Gosh I LOVE Christmas music and have so many favorites it’s so hard to pick just one. But I will have to go with Have a Holly Jolly Christmas because I named one of my daughter’s Holly 🙂

  273. I love O Holy Night, so pretty, but for fun carols- Elton John’s Step into Christmas and Last Christmas, and can’t forget All I want for Christmas.

  282. So many good songs to choose from but I like Angels we have heard on high. Love the cobblestone stencil I can see it being used on lots of cards!

  285. So many great Christmas songs, it’s hard to choose just one but I’ve always loved “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

  286. I think Snow is Falling is one of my favorites, but I love almost every Christmas song. It’s my favorite time of the year.

  287. I love, LOVE all Christmas Carousel. Grew up listing to trans-siberian, Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, Elvis — Blue Christmas. I love the Carol of the Bells and Deilig er den himmel blå (The Sky is so Blue)– which is a Danish Christmas song we sing around the Christmas Tree.

  290. I love Christmas music. I don’t think I can pick a favorite song though-I just have too many! There was the BEST channel on Sirius radio a few years ago, it was called Holly and from Nov 1 until it ended it was the ONLY thing I listened to!!

  296. Looking forward to the end of Halloween season cuz then Mariah is coming back 😀 All I want for Christmas is Youuuuuuuuuuuuuhuhuhuu 😀

  298. I definitely cannot pick a favorite Christmas carol…I love to sing along to all of them and start listening in early November.

  303. There are way to many to pick just one. I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas – I don’t know why I can do with out all the snow we get and of course Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and so many others.

  306. SO much cuteness! Love lots of Christmas songs- hard to pick a favorite but jingle bells was the first that popped in my mind!

  307. I absolutely love these mice!! I love the more rock and roll Christmas songs compared to traditional carols, even though I still like them too. My favourite would have to be Queen’s ‘Thank God it’s Christmas’, followed by Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Merry Christmas Baby’.

  308. So cute!! I love so many holiday songs- it’s hard to choose just one! Probably it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with Michael Buble!

  320. My favorite Christmas song of all time is “O, Holy Night”. But “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” is a close second! 😀

  321. My favorite Christmas song is Give Love on Christmas Day by the Jackson 5. Also I did not know about this riverside backgrounds until now, but they are a must have. So versatile

  322. I’m a big fan of Christmas music around that time of year, and it’s really hard to pick just one song! I do like “Gaudete Christus Est Natus” a lot, but another favorite is “Christmas at Ground Zero”. I love the whole range!

  323. I love all the Christmas carols! They start playing in my vehicle mid November- but they sound beat when the white stuff is on the ground! Cute little mice!

  325. I love all Christmas songs. I grew up listening to a lot of them on my grandma’s old record player and many of the vinyls are not longer available even on digital. One of my favotire CDs which I still have is the classic Bing Crosby Christmas album.

  331. I love the old classic Christmas Songs From Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Burl Ives Frank Sinatra& Nat King Cole
    my Favorite Christmas Song is White Christmas only sung by Bing Crosby no one else as the lilt in their voice to sing it.

  333. I have so many favorite Christmas songs. I think this is my fav, though: Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters.

  347. The trio of mice has my heart ❤️ Tje one on the right smiles just like my 5-year-old nephew 😄 Jingle bell rock is one of my favorites 🔔

  350. It’s hard picking just one song, I even have a playlist that i start listening to around november, Sleigh Ride and It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year are some of my favorites.

  354. Carol of the Bells is my favorite Christmas carol. When I was in High School choir I had the opportunity to be a part of the living tree concert. Many choirs from all over got together and walked down Main Street while singing Carol of the Bells and ended up creating a living tree. It was an experience I will never forget.

  355. Love this introduction! These mice are the cutest and the new border and stencils are also an amazing addition! And I do not have an all time favorite Christmas song, love to hear all of the Christmas songs during the holiday season!

  367. It’s not Christmas season without hearing ‘driving home for Christmas’ on the radio while in the car. But, having said that, everything from ‘a Muppet Christmas carol’ is also mandatory! I love the growing mice family!

  378. Such darling Christmas mice! My favorite Christmas carol is Winter Wonderland, but I also love Mary, Did You Know? but it has to be sung by Donny Osmond!

  382. Oh, boy, that’s hard! Maybe “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” but I love Christmas music so really any and all!

  399. Oh Holy Night is my favourite Christmas Carol; but there are several that are right up there too…Silent Night, White Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Mary’s Boy Child. Thank you for the chance to win. Good luck everyone.

  402. The caroling mice are so super adorable! I absolutely love Christmas music so it’s hard to pick a favorite. I am most fond of classic holiday music Bing Crosby is one of my favorite singers. 🥰

  408. Caroling Mice set is so adorable!! 100% going on the wishlist. My favourite Christmas song is Emmanuel with Carol of the Bells as a close 2nd.

  409. I love all Christmas carols, but if I had to pick just one then my favorite is “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney – which also happens to be my favorite Christmas movie ☃️❄️❤️ I love the card sample with the little mice singing at the top of their lungs with the sentiment “I’m dreaming of a MICE Christmas” – so adorable! 🐭🎶😍

  426. My favorite singer is George Michael… so “Last Christmas” is my favorite. (However, Christmas don’t be Late, by Alvin and the Chipmonks is also a favorite. “I just want a hoola hoop” LOL)
