It’s time for a Cute Critter Christmas and time to Gimme 5 with Penny Black! Every year I always head to the Penny Black critters to put put the pizzazz back in Christmas, I adore them!
I started by blending out my backgrounds with the new Life Changing Blending Brushes which were just what they said they would be (insert happy sigh here)! My first card uses the sweet Arctic Friends polar bear
and a sentiment from the Holiday Snippets set.
and doesn’t this bear look happy with his very own Merry Christmas!
Here is my favourite sentiment from Penny Black this year…..
aaaahhhhh,
and some Christmas Fun!
Finally a fab English style post box complete with a cute Penny Black mouse.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

These are all so adorable,Therese! I always love critters and each of these will bring many holiday smiles! It puts me in the Christmas mood just watching your wonderful video.
Super adorable creations! I love the cute critters and your beautiful framed effect! 🙂
The level of adorableness in this post is pretty overwhelming! So much cuteness!!!! I love the Merry Christmas bear and the mouse with the pressies and you’re right – that Christmas Wishes sentiment is gorgeous!
Oh wow – these are just so so cute!!!
These cards are adorable! So sweet. I like the frame style that you used.
All so beautifully done Therese. Couldn’t pick which I liked best, such a cute bunch of critters and beautifully coloured backgrounds. Wonderful
An awesome Gimme 5. Love PB.
Great cards. My favourite is the mouse with the presents – very fun. The life changing brush looks awesome. Thanks for the links for the brushes. I see one of them has all the brands I can’t normally get – could be dangerous! Lol
Fabulous set of cards – those critters are so cute and your designs perfect! Your blending brushes look like fun – as usual, perfect colouring! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Loved the video! And your cards are ADORABLE!!! They all turned out beautifully!!!! LOVE them all!!!
Such adorable loveliness, Therese … beautifully blended backgrounds (those brushes!) … fabulous framing … and just the sweetest little critters! What a joy to watch these cuties come together! Hugs, Anita 🙂
I am overjoyed to see this newest Five in my inbox, Therese… always a joy to watch, and you always provide me with a Penny Black wishlist, too! [are these the blenders the group was chatting about at EH?]
=]
Yes, I think they are the blenders and awesome too!
Gorgeous little critter creations Therese. I really love the no peeking card and then the last one with the very English mail box with the wee mouse. Beautiful blending with your new brushes.
Oh Therese, I don’t know why you say you are not good at blending, these cards have the most wonderful blended backgrounds!!!
I love the Penny Black critters, they make the cutest Christmas cards ever!! I can’t pick a favorite, love them all.
Thank you for sharing this fabulous video, as always, it’s a delight to see you creating your cards.

Each and every one of your cards is adorable, Therese. The framing really add so much to the simple scene and your ink blending is wonderful. I too have a heavy hand but bought the ‘other’ brushes.
Your cards are darling. Penny Black does do wonderful Christmas and critters.
So look forward to your Christmas Critters Cards and your fab videos. They are so fun to watch with a cup of tea and you always make me laugh. I know it’s hot at Christmas down here but I love the Penny Black stamps and my friends love to receive them.
