It’s time to ‘Gimme 5’ at Penny Black and today I have decided to focus on one of the new release stamps called Berry Circle and I have made five different cards using this one stamp.
Oh Yay! These are my first Christmas cards for this year, look at me go! And don’t forget to scroll down a bit and you can catch the video on how I made these cards.
I thought this cute cat would look cute hanging from a garland…
And of course who wouldn’t want to put a star up on this berry wreath!
I used a die cut to frame for this little robin…
This wreath was gold embossed so the sentiment had to be gold too!
And for my most colourful wreath I decided to pop it up with the sentiment in the centre.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
Did you know this is being shared at the Penny Black channel as well… I would love you to check it out HERE!
I hope you had as much fun as I did, have a great and crafty day,

The Penny Black release for Christmas is so far my absolute favorite! I’m having a hard time deciding what to get because I would like to have most of it!!! Thanks, Therese. I can’t say you’ve made my decision any easier(!!!), but I do appreciate seeing what you’ve done with some of the collection!!
Therese, this is my favorite of all the series you give us. Such wonderful ideas helping us to look at out stamps with new eyes. Your designs are fabulous and thank you!
What a fab start to Christmas card making! Love them. The little mouse putting on the star is so cute (mice usually aren’t my favs IRL).
Love your gimme 5. I’m so impessed how you make that wreath stamp so versatile. Great job. I enjoy your videos.
I have been coveting those antique frames since I first saw them, Therese, and you may have pushed me over the edge, although they are quite pricey. And I’d have to get that wreath with them. I’m also thinking about PrismaColor pencils and I was glad to see you didn’t use Gamsol on these. Your cards are all wonderful. You not only inspire me but it looks like you’re enabling me too. 😉
LOVE them!
Beautiful coloring and details on all of these cards, Therese! Looks like you’ve made a lot of headway with your Christmas cards already!
Thanks so much for the video…I always enjoy watching you create 🙂
These are all so gorgeous! That wreath stamp is just awesome.
I really enjoy these Gimme 5s. Penny Black struck gold when they got both you and Jill Foster to showcase their stamps!
Lovely creations 🙂
Hi Therese: I love these Gimme 5 videos where you share how to use our stamps in different ways to create beautiful cards,
I’m always amazed at your incredible fussy cutting skills, when I saw the card with the wreath I honestly thought you used a die to cut the paper in the middle.
Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us, I enjoy so much watching you create.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
Wonderful Christmas cards! I love all the different combinations, but the sweet robin is my favorite. Love birds! The very light colors really make these special and elegant.
Wow! What an inspiration you are! Five totally different, absolutely gorgeous cards all using the same wreath stamp. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!
Adorable set of gimme-5! Love the little critters! I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago with a 55% coupon at Michael’s and bought the 150 Primacolour set. I’m thrilled with it! That PB wreath is so pretty with the fall element in it! Perfect!
OH my gosh – these are beyond adorable. (clapping like a crazy monkey – no offense intended monkeys)!
I’m always entranced watching you create and colour, Therese … so yes, seeing all five wreaths would have been fine by me!! You’ve created so many different looks with just one stamp … and they’re all gorgeous … thanks for inspiring us all! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Love this Gimme 5 series and especially love these beautiful Christmas cards! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just found your site and am finding you have so many “fun” tips to use! The series of wreath cards are delightful, and inspired me to find ways to use my limited stamp sets in numerous ways like you have. Thanks for the inspiration! LOVE this site!!
So much inspiration here! Love the delicate design of the wreath and seeing all the ways it can be used. The sweet PB critters are always a joy too!
Amazing episode of “Same But Different” You’ve really shown the versatility of that wreath! I love them all!!
These are so lovely. You have brought that wreath to life and have showed how versatile it is. Love the sweet little mouse and that gold sentiment. You inspired me to die cut a gold sentiment when I was making a card the other day, but I realised I didn’t own any gold card stock! Bummer!
Gorgeous cards, Therese. Love how you’ve achieved such different looks using the same stamp. Thanks for the inspiration.
these are all so beautiful Therese, love how different they are too. x
Yaaaaassss to cranking out the Christmas cards! These are all gorgeous and that kitty card is especially adorable. You can save that one for me. 😉
Speaking of yaaaasssss do you live anywhere near Yass? It’s on my bucket list to visit!
