Today I share 5 cards using the Penny Black Special Friends Stamp Set, it’s so much fun stretching a set into 5 similar but different 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 a fun Brusho background
and then added some silhouette leaves with a sentiment banner.
Next I had some fun creating a sweet little mirror image hedgehog, and I added a negative space border with the Lovely Border Dies.
The sentiment is from the Love Sentiments Stamp Set.
Then I decided to put the whole group together
which was a breeze with the co-ordinating dies.
And some more negative space with the Cut Out Wreath Die
and a sweet Snippet of a sentiment.
Finally my fave, which uses the beautiful Rose Garden Stamp Set and a subtle Square Frames Border.
This beautiful sentiment is from the Smitten Stamp Set.
and all together now…..
and more!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope you are inspired to look at your stamp sets and make more than 1 design using the same set! Thanks so much for your visit today, it’s always awesome to have you here.

Therese, you make this set so easy to love … five different ways, each one a charmer!
=]
Ooh these are so cute and lovely! 🙂
I loved the cards you did with this set in the past and have been trying to convince myself that I don’t need it. You have shown again how cute those images are so I may have to give in. Lol I hope you do the new whimsical animals soon, they look fun.
all such fun and cute card with those darling critters – i, too, love the last one best!
Such fun cards – you do them so well. I loved the last card with the roses, and as always, you amaze me with how fast you colour them. I was impressed with you using the brushos, as I have avoided them because they usually look really messy, but you nailed it. Happy Easter – hope the bunny pops in with something delicious.
Really neat and sweet cards. Love that you mix and match your stamps. Great techniques and inspiration. Thanks for sharing and appreciate all that you share.
Therese every time I sit down to make a card I suffer from a creative block and then I stalk your blog!
Do you use the same size card most of the time?
Yes I basically use A2 sized cards (which is half of a USA A4 cardsheet which is then folded) either landscape or topfold portrait style. I used to use the Australian A4 cut in half and folded but I have found the Neenah easier to get here now so have converted to that so I can have ‘matchy matchy’ whites in both 80lb and 110lb weight. Thanks so much for your lovely visit here today, crafty hugs, Therese
Oh Therese, I just love your “Gimme 5” series of videos, I’m always amazed at the different cards you create using one set of images, you truly inspire us to get creative with your impeccable layering and beautiful coloring.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Love these cards, Therese! What a sweet set of critters – adorable!
Great cards!!! I too especially really like the last one. That’s so cool how you got a watercolored look with copics! And with that bunny and the sentiment … precious. Thanks, Therese!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! These are amazing! What adorable stamps and I just love the way you coloured them! Love that brusho background too
Awh! Therese!! I loved every minute of this video. All five cards are all-stars and I love all of the special touches you include with each card design. You rock!!
Your GImme 5 videos are always so inspiring, Therese. I don’t have this set of stamps but I did make a black Brusho panel as soon as the video was over. Now I have one to use with something else. All of these cards are so cute.
Each card is just so sweet and I love the colours you choose… you have a great eye for that 🙂
Super cute cards, Therese! I’m so impressed with all the different designs you come up with…so clever!
Love how you created such wonderfully whimsical scenes for these sweet storybook characters, Therese … they’re soooo cute! Not much is making it to my wish book these days … with your help (tee hee!), these have … thank you!! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Fabulous set of cards. Love the one with all the animals.
Love the black Brushos…I don’t have that one…might have to search it out! I love how you layer your cards…these little chaps are fab. Di
Oh my, I just adore all of these critter cards. Cutie pies and flowers… pure perfection.
