When the newest Penny Black on Saturday Challenge for September 2025 hit my inbox, I just happened to have finished my next batch of Christmas cards using a few more of the sets I snapped up from the Penny Black Christmas release! Would you look at that... there are lots of stripes - that makes it a good time to share them.
First this darling snowdude and friend from Penny Black: Frosty Hops...
This lovely sentiment is also from the Frosty Hops set.
Penny Black: Christmas Cubs...
PB Classy Frames; EH Rectangle dies
No stripes or dots on these next cards but 'just because' you know me
and bears by now...
PB Teddy Tidings
Her hearth 'rug' was created using the PB encircle ef over top
of a woodgrain embossed piece. It was really easy to create this 'wainscoting'
out of the scraps of watercolor card!
A little black bear gets his mail delivered by this sweet little bird on
a branch borrowed from the PB Frosty Hops set.
Because I never miss a chance to learn a thing or ten from the spectacular
Jill Foster and the newest video series from Penny Black, I brought
out the PB Edger: Friend die for my little brown bear!
Now one of those will be shared with those wonderful card makers
at PBSC - you'll have to stop by to see which one made the cut!

Michele, these are fabulous. Your skills are stellar. Thank you for sharing your cardmaking talents and friendship.
Oh wow! These are all soooo cute. Love them xx
ALL of these are pretty spectacular, Michele! Your coloring leaves me in awe and the sweet focals are straight up sweet as can be. I'm guessing the fireplace made the pick -- I'm off to see!
I asked yesterday what PB was....now I know! Absolutely darling. I will be following along all the time now!
Awww... these are all just as sweet as they can be! I've had my eye on the polar bear set, it's so cute and I love what you've done with it here. Also loving the colors you gave the snowman!
I love all the Penny Black stamps and dies this year . I bought them all. Your cards are so adorable. I love them all.❤️
These are all so cute and just perfect. Your watercolouring is perfect too. Any one of these could be added to our we love stamping gallery too. We are asking for cute xx
What a wonderful bunch of cards. Love them all, really.
Each one is delightful, and beautifully colored too!
What a treat, Michele! The snowman offering a carrot is my absolute favorite from that last release and you have done it perfectly. Sure to be treasured! The little ones with the polar bears are darling and so are the teddy bears! Your stash is growing by leaps and bounds and abounding in cuteness!
Oh Michele. These are all as sweet as can be. Love your coloring and design on each card. Love those PB images.
I think someone is having a bit too much fun with the latest PB release and they are ALL absolutely ADORABLE Michele!! I can't even pick a favorite!! And your water coloring skills just keep getting better and better...I think you're at pro level now! Wonderful post and thanks for all the smiles!! Hugs. :0)
Oh they're all so charming, Michele! They all have me oohing and aahing from one card to the next. And would you believe this non colorist bought the first image--because of the bunny, but who knows when it will get colored?
Awesome Christmas cards Michele. You have shown off these sweet PB images to perfection. xx
Such a wonderful array of sweetness. I marvel at the number of fabulous projects you complete each day!
I think you are giving Jill a run for her money, Michele. These are all painted so beautifully and the extra details elevate them to works of art.
You must have had a marathon stamping/coloring session! These are all as sweet as they can be! Just adorable! They are wee little works of art!
So exceptionally adorable and a fantastic line up of PB stamps and your beautiful coloring and designs. I want it all, but limited my order for now. Will go back for more. You and Jill are both mega-enablers!
Oh my what a lovely collection of cards. They have a bit of nostalgia and evoke memories of childhood wonder.
These are so beautiful they look like illustrations from children's books. Your colouring is so delicate these really should be framed and given as gifts.

Well you just put me in the Christmas spirit! These are all so adorable! Too hard to pick a fave!
You have made this release shine my friend, what a gorgeous collection of cards!
