Today I share 5 cards using the Penny Black Abstract Flowers Die Set including some not so ‘flowery’ designs!
This is part of my Gimme 5 Series for Penny Black and if you haven’t seen these before then you can check out heaps more at my YouTube Channel Here.
I started with what I thought was an obvious design and a great way to use up some scrap cardstock.
It was as easy as some die cuts including a fab sentiment from Penny Black’s Awesome Die Set.
My second card is similar in that they are flowers again, but this time I have a monochromatic colour palette and added some Textures to the front of the card
as well as to the flowers using the Swirled background stamp.
My next design may be my fave, it’s time for a negative space die cut flower
and a simple sentiment from Happy Hugs.
Next I’m changing things up…. it was time to create a polka background.
I need something to sit this cute little bear from Smiling on to!
and finally some colourful windows for these Critter Celebration mice to peek out from.
The sentiment for this design comes from the Smitten stamp set.
and all together now…..
and now the critters!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

These flowers are so cute! Think of all the color combos you could create quickly, right? And those little critters in the flower circles are adorable!
Oh, very clever! I love those funky circles turned into flowers and cubby holes for little critters. Must have a go at this sometime. TFS
Love those retro flower cards and how you used the texture stamps. The irregular circles look great as mice windows too.
Am really enjoying this section of how to make 5 …,you have been showing such great ideas & in learning so much, thank you x
Loveable your cardsTherese. Penny Black do make the cutest stamps, but I haven’t seen the retro flower dies. They are amazing, really different. Thank you for sharing your clever designs.
You are so amazingly talented! I love these a lot.

So much fun, Therese! Super clever and certainly a great use of all those scraps! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
Those little critters are adorable peeking out from their wonky windows, Therese … and that wee bear is a cutie! Love the funky flowers … they’re so fun and happy … that monochrome texture-y one is just awesome! Hugs, Anita 🙂
fabulous cards Therese!
I don’t have these exact dies, (which are fabulous, btw…) but I do have something similar in Altenew… What simple ideas, but so effective and so cute! I love every single one of them. And just so you know, I may do a little CASEing later on today! You are such an inspiration! Adorable. xo
Love all your cards!
Such fun cards Therese! You are so talented!
Oh, these are fabulous and so sweet!
The bear and mice are adorable! Love the bright flowers too!
I’ve been wanting those mice for a while and you showed a new way to use them, Therese. I love the funky look to the flowers. If only I could win the lottery so I can buy them all. 😉
Only you can make monochromatic gray flowers look so good! Wonderful cards, love them all!
Great series, Therese & this is one of my favorites! Super creative & so much fun!
Such a cute die set. I like how you also used the flower dies to make peep holes for the animals too,
Love love love these videos…. you get so much from stamps and dies and even more so when they’re basic shapes like these xx
