I love your London -Collection, my favourite stamp is the great bus with all animals in it, the double deckers
and from the buildings, I think the London-Tower-Brigde, but I love them all, because they are great, I collected your cats all and the mice, many flowers, some frogs, pigs, sheeps and many many more.
I hope you will bring more of this wonderful stamps, Moskow, Prag, Brüssel, Holland, Spain, Italy, Ireland, France and so on…I will love them….
hugs, patty from Germany!!!
WOW how can you ask us to choose a favourite stamp – they are all so fabulous. My son spent last year at Uni in London and these all bring back memories of time spent with him visiting the “sights”,
I suppose the London Bus is so iconic but then again so are the rest – sorry I cannot choose between them 🙂
both of them re great. love the way cath and jean in coloring, very neat and tidy! suer sweet card as well. My favourite are london cabby, double deckers, and the london eye. Miniful also great.. arrgh love it all 🙂
I have loved all the inspiring cards for this collection. My favourite is the double decker bus however I love the iconic mini car with the flag on the roof, but then I also like the London Eye. How can you be so cruel to ask us to select just one, when they are all GREAT.
Absolutely love these new stamps, they definately show some of the things that us Londoners are most proud of,And i need them all
My favourite stamps have to be either the bus or Parliament,
Stunning cards Jenyfur and Cathy……I cant wait for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and I’m looking forward to watching the Olympics too 🙂
I love Miniful and the Double Decker bus crammed full of cute critters!! The transparent set is so versatile too……love the bunting!
Love them all really 🙂

All the creations this week have been amazing -hard to pick a fave stamp but I love the Tower Bridge stamp and the sheet music background stamp. thanks for the chance to win some yummie products
Jenyfur’s card reminds me of a hamster inside a wheel – there’s so much movement & I love the grass. Cathy’s is a lovely snapshot (couldn’t resist that one) of a typical ‘might be’ London Scene if people were creatures. As for choosing a favourite – if I have to pick only ONE – then it has to be the transparent set ‘love london’ because it combines the unique images of both London & Penny Black. It was a very hard choice for I love all the monuments & the scenes that can be made but I put myself on a Desert Island with some Distress inks, & watercolour paper plus a paintbrush & thought how I’d keep myself positive.

PS – then we have london cabby & the houses of parliament if I were allowed some additional baggage on my island.
Fantastic cards with the new stamps!
The phone booth is my favorite – London Calling. Reminds me of the 80’s and the Clash 🙂
Omg, Cathy’s card with the Polaroid is super cute! I love all from this collection but my favorite is the double decker bus.
My favorite London Stamp would be the Tower Bridge., but Love anything that Jill demos. So very talented.
These stamps are all so cute, but my most favorite is the Love London set with the double decker bus and of course if I had to choose a runner up, it would be Westminster Abby because it is so beautiful. Thanks for a chance to win.
It’s hard to choose my favorite. I love them all, but I guess I’m partial to the double decker bus.
Oooo, I love ALL London Penny Black rubber stamps and it’s really hard to decide which one is the nicest 🙂
But since you asked to pick the favorite one, I have decided that the one I like the most are: Double deckers, London cabby and The London Eye :)))
Thank you for giving us a chance to win 🙂
Regards from Slovenia 🙂
Katie
fabulous cards!! =)
the “on guard” is my absolutely favorite stamp from the london collection!!!
hugs, SannaS
I really like the new collection. All cards with these stamps are beautiful, but I like most about “London Calling” and the hedgehog and mouse with flags from the “Love London”. Hugs, Aluna
Well, as others have said, how can I pick just one??? But the London Eye is definitely a favorite, as well as the London Bridge and a few others!! Thanks for the chance to win – I love this new collection!
These stamps are great! I love the double deckers also the London cabby.
I love all the cards that were made this week, but all the cards with the cars on it are my favourite!! I look for new ideas every day at this site and I’m thrilled that you are giving some of the beautiful stamps away. Fingers crossed greetz Yvonne
This collection is amazing! With the London Olympics just soon to be here….so fun….
We visited London during my husband’s conf. Stayed only a few days….but remember tower Bridge…and the London eye….. Those are two of my favs….I love how the Penny Black gang was put with them! so darling!
Gorgeous cards, Jen and Cathy!
I would have to say that ‘the tower bridge’ is my favourite. It looked wonderful in Kelley’s card and beautiful as Jill’s background. Cathy A’s colouring was amazing on her triple easel card, and it looks just perfect in Cathy F’s awesome card. Definitely a favourite.
these are such beautiful cards i love the coloring its so stunning…thank you so much for a chance to win these gorgeous stamps:)
I really love all of the london collection. I guess my favorite would have to be london calling with the phone booth. Thanks for the chance to win.

Such cute cards. Love the double deckers and Love London stamps. Though all are also irresistible !!
I loved seeing these appear in my inbox a week or two ago! Such great cards the DT have shown this week! Such great stamps and you want me to pick a fave!? Impossible…I was there this time 5 yrs ago and just loved it! Westminster, St Paul’s, Tower Bridge, The Eye, Tower of London, the buses & cabbies….all f it contributed to our fabtastic holiday. xxx
My fav would be the “love london” set with a little bit of everything in it!
Cathy and Jen’s cards are so cute and clever- makes me smile 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
These stamps are so cute! And cards are so beautiful. I can’t wait mine trip to London next June.
I love the woodmounted London buildings – they are so detailed! I worked in London for a year after I finished college in 1990 and loved it so much. I’d love to go back now and show my family around. The London Eye and the Chunnel weren’t even built yet, so they’d be new for me.
I can see many, many uses for London Calling and The London Eye! The whole collection is really great! Thanks for the chance to win.
Whoah! Way too hard to choose a favorite. But if you press me for an answer I’ll say The London Eye. These images are simply marvelous. Pip-Pip, Cheerio!
These are great cards. I like the Tower Bridge stamp the best, although they are all lovely. We live in the UK so these stamps are perfect.
Well, I love all of the London stamps, I think. The cards from the last posts are stunning. To be really honest the Tower Bridge stamp is just a little more favourite than the others.
I just love the transparent set with the double decker bus! Thanks for a chance to win it.
My favorites are Hedgie and the London eye. But I also love the cars with the British coloring. My brother and his family live in London and these would make some great cards to send to them. Thanks for something totally new!
Gee.. I am torn betwee the london eye and tower bridge, but hey, the london bus is just so cute. what a great set. Thanks for the chance to win
Fabulous cards! It’s almost impossible to choose a favourite as all so nice! I would choose “Love London” and “Tower Bridge”. Thanks for the giveaway!
Well, I want them ALL!! LOL but my favorites are all the buildings, Love London set, Big Ben, London Calling. I adore the mice and the hedgie, they are my favorites and I ejoy cooing them so much. And people love getting them.
Amazing cards from Cathy and Jenyfur!! They are so beautifully design and executed! My favorite London stamps must be the “Love London” and the “Tower Bridge”!!
I love the hedgie and the London eye. Of course they are all just absolutely wonderful! What a wonderful giveaway.
Great cards this week. I would have to say my favorites are British mini and the double decker bus. Thanks.
These are adorable! My favorite London stamp is “big ben”. Thanks for a chance to win!
I think “The London Eye” is my favorite.
I LOVE the cute cards!! I LOVE all of the little details and the BRIGHT colors that were used!! My favorite London stamps must be the “Love London” and the “Tower Bridge”!! I also LOVE “Love London set”, “Big Ben” and “London Calling”.
THANKS for the chance to win and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
Hello!
I love the London images! My visit there was a highlight of my life and my photos of all of the landmarks are a treasure! I loved the funny black cabs and especially the bus rides! So I guess my favorite is 1st the bus image on the Love London transparent set and 2nd the Double Deckers image on wood. They both are so wonderful as the gang is having such a fun time! Thank you for this opportunity to win an image! Wishing you a happy weekend!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
I love them all, but my favourite is On Guard – with the chickens peaking out, so cute!
Oh geez, I love this collection! Having been to London the summer I graduated from high school, almost 40 years ago, this brings back so many memories. The Royal Guardsman – did my best to make them blink, the double decker bus – my favorite ride, and the wonderful London telephone booth. Of course Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, the London Tower, Bridge…….Oh my I could go on and on….. If I had to pick one favorite it would have to be the double decker bus. I can see its image driving through page after page of my beloved photographs. I had the time of my life and your wonderful images bring it all back!
Thank you!
I love them all but the ones with the “hedgies” are my favorites. I kind of use the “hedgies” as my mascot. I’m retiring from my job today (after 41 years) and have made “pass out” cards with all of my contact info and used one of the “hedgies” delivering a letter and one with a flower extended on the card that I’ve colored in to hand out.
Hi,
The whole London collection is so fun! Hard to pick just one! I love the “on guard” stamp the chickens crack me up! I think my favorite is the “london eye” stamp though…makes me think of vacation, escape, of having fun!
Thanks tor sharing the stamps & most of all the give away!
I just adore the “Love London” set – so adorable. They are ALL amazing but those are my particular faves. Thanks for the chance to win.
The ferris wheel and bridge are my favs.
The clear stamps are fantastic, especially the cat on the Underground sign. I’m loving the entire collection and I can see so many possibilities with them. Thank you PB for helping us in the UK to celebrate this momentous year!
Your London week was so fun and all of your cards were amazing.
wow these are all just amazing…the DT is so creative… I love it..
one of my favorites is ON GUARD…they are all so fun..
Thanks for the chance to win..
How cute are these cards?!? My fav is Love London. 🙂
Love the London collection! Great Job! I especially adore the Tower Bridge and Double Decker bus stamps!
I LOVE the entire London collection of stamps!!!! The animals are my favorites—they’re adorable, so any of the stamps with an animal is a favorite. I love cats, so I’m drawn to the cat stamps, naturally. But if I had to choose just one stamp, the mouse and hedgehog running with string of banners really makes me smile. Mixing the animals with iconic scenes from London makes it all the more fun, and makes me nostalgic about past visits. A great collection!
The London Collection is really lovely. I love the Westminster Abbey stamp the most. 🙂
I absolutely love both samples! My favorite stamp is the double decker bus. I think the entire collection was genius.
Love the London calling, phone booths are disappearing everywhere just like our dial phones so great for those just sending a word (line).. and the Love London has so many possabilities 🙂
Love the bus!
They are adorable card. I love the colour and the design. Great work!
And my fav are london bridge and the double decker. Thanks for the chance. 🙂
I LOVE this whole collection. My husband goes to London for business and these would be great stamped on pages from his trips. I love “on guard” and the bus,I really like all of them. Penny Black stamps are my favorite!
Love the London collection and the beautiful cards made with them. I’ve been to London once and the cards bring back such good memories. Thank you.
no way to pick a favorite. i enjoy them all. it has been so much fun to see the new cards every day.
Again 2 very pretty cards! My favorite! Anything with hedgehogs of course, but I love the double-deckers bus with all the animals in it! Very cute collection with the reallistic looking buildings and the whimsical animals.
My favorite is the new double decker bus – oh so cute!
I love the big red London bus but they are all great stamps!
Cathy and Jen’s cards are amazing! Love this new collection. The “on guard” stamp is one of my favorites, the chickens are the perfect touch!
The new stamps are really gorgeous! My favourite has to be Miniful.
I love anything with a hedgie, puss or mouse involved!
Fabulous cards, and i have to say i love all of the london stamps but i think my real favorite has to be the Mini only because my husband helped to build them lol xx
I love all the new London stamps, so iconic. I think my favorite is Tower Bridge.
These stamps are just soooo cute! Just love the ferrieswheel!
Love the London Stamps….it’s my favorite place to visit. Can definitely use each and every one!
Wonderful cards by Cathy and Jen! Love that Polaroid! The new London collection is awesome–my fave is the double decker bus.
I think I’m in love with the new London collection. It is hard to choose one favorite stamp:) I really like the Big Ben stamp. Awesome cards! x
Wonderful cards! Hard to choose a favorite, but I really like the clear stamps (Love London) since it has all my favorite characters (hedgehog, cat, mouse) and has many different uses!
I love the clear set with the London bus and the gorgeous bunting. My son lives and woks in London and any of these stamps would be perfect for his Birthday card in April. We are so looking forward to the Olympics here in the Uk and these new stamps are just the ticket! Xxxsue
The London Bridge stamp is my fav. Very archi-artsy.
My favourite is Miniful – I learnt to drive in a mini and my first car was a mini so that will be a must have for my collection of PB stamps.
My fave is the ‘Love London’ set, how cool is the double decker bus!!!
I love them all really. If I have to choose it is Miniful! I cannot wait to add them to my collection.
Love the chicken with the london guard stamp.
Luv LONDON CALLING, with the telephone booth! 🙂 I can make cards with it, like “missing you”/”calling to say hi” cards. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
they are all awesome, but if I had to choose, I’d choose St Paul’s Cathedral. It is just so detailed. Love it.
Tower bridge, On Guard & Love London are my favs. I actually spent a week in London many years ago before I was married–brings back memories!
I cannot wait to get some of these stamps. OOH, i hope I win…
I love LONDON!!!! Thank you for this series. 🙂

Gosh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t state what stamp I liked (tooo excited).
I can’t choose between the love london… followed by the doubledecker or the telephone box— or the mini.
I’m planning on getting all of them….
LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!
🙂
I love all the cute new London series images but if I had to choose it would be the double decker and on guard stamps. These represent all the things I’d love to see if I ever got the chance to visit England, I can but wish………. The stamps just make the London icons come alive.
So cute but PB stamps always seem to be the best of the bunch! TY for sharing!!!
This cards are so cute !! TY for the ideas !
One of my favorite – it’s a little bit hard to choose just one 😉 – is London calling …
But I like the London guard with chickens … It reminds me my London trip
I love all the London collection, I can’t wait for them to arrive at my local stamp store. The cards are so cute!
My favorite stamp uhm….. I like them all, but London cabby is just too cute and verstile.
B.
I really like the “London Eye” stamps with the ferris wheel. A chance to win this would be great. I liked your card very much.
Super adorable cards.. Love all London collections especially love London, double decker and London cabby 😉
Love this blog, I am so inspired by all the creative cards. I check the site every day. The new London collection really captures the spirit of the City and the Olympics!
I love all of them, but my favourite one is London calling 🙂
Hello! I absolutely LOVE the entire collrcion of London Stamps. I have, over the years, visited all the locations depicted by the rubber stamps. I love them ALL and I am hard pressed to decide which one is my favourite. However, Tower Bridge and the London Eye stand out because one represents many momentous historical events which occured over hundreds of years and the other celebrates the advent of the 21st century, bookends of British History, if you will! On a lighter note, the cards above make the historical aspect less surreal, more today with an injection of British humour. Cheers!
The London collection is awsome! The design team has done some magnificent work and makes it very hard to choose a favorite! My first purchase would be the transparent set, Love London, for the variety of images. It would be a joy to own them all! Penny Black, you offer such unique and amazing images, appealing to all styles!
The Double Decker bus is my favorite of the London group. Especially the card from Cathy Fong with the split image, very clever.
I love the one with the London bus 🙂
I just love the Love London set. I am particularly attracted to the Double Decker bus and the London telephone booth. Just a really wonderful set of stamps!
love the 2 cards created by Cathy(the picture of the kitty) and Jen’s (with the london eye)
Ilove the telephone booth and the double decker bus with all the cuties in it! So adorable we have double decker bus over here in Singapore too!
Thanks for a chance to win stamps from this London collection!There all so lovely!
hugs
Doreen Sng
I love all the characters in the bus, it really reminds me of squeezing on the bus to go home after a night shift when I used to live and work in london!!
Do I have to pick just one? They are all just adorable!!! I am especially enamored with them because my daughter and her husband recently moved to London. Since I remember the London Bridge fondly, I’ll have to claim that as my favorite. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love them all… but as I have to pick one it will have to be the mouse and hedgehog running withe bunting in front of big ben :-). Hope this has worked lol x
Super inspiratgion as always.
I love the whole London Collection but think my favourite has to be 40-116, it’s a great collage and epitomises all things London.
x
love all of them, can’t pick a fave because they all are. great collection
I love them all but the hedge hog with ferris wheel is absolutely adorable!! I love all the hedge hogs!!!
Lovely cards! I’m so happy that Penny Black celebrats London now 🙂 My favorite stamp is the transparent set Love London – the cats in it are so adorable! Thanks for chance to win our favorites.
all of them are so fabulous… hard to pick a favorite!
The cards are amazing! I adore the London Bridge stamp! And the hedgehog at the ferris wheel! So happy for the chance to win@
I love them all and already got some, but the double decker bus is the one I want now I have seen what Cathy Fong did with it.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Love them all. But if I had to pick one it would be “love London”. Thanks for the chance to win.
The Love London stamp set is sooooo cute…esp. the Olympic torch and double decker bus images!!! Thanks for the chance to win some great stamps.
Thanks for the chance to win! This collection is great. It’s hard to pick just one favourite, but I really do like the double decker bus.
Love anything Penny Black! Guess I lock that double decker bus the best!
Oh man, it’s so difficult to pick! I do really love the double decker bus, but I think I would get the most use out of the London calling one. They’re all so adorable! I’ve never been to the UK, so the only things I know about it are from Disney’s Epcot pavilion! Thanks for the chance to win!
I think mine is London calling, with the little hedgie in the phone booth! Difficult decision as they are all fabulous! The card above are super cute! Love to see how creative everyone gets. Thank you for sharing.
Katie B.
WOUW the cards are so amazing and so are these gorgeous stamps.
My favorites must be the bus and the bridge, as that´s the two things, I still can smile about from my visit in London some years ago, and they´ll be perfect to go with my pictures for a scrapbook. But the entire collection are really awesome. Thanks sooo much for the chance to win here.
Wow these are great. Not bought any stamps for a long time But I think these London stamps are just fantastic.
I really like the mini, its just fantastic..
I love all the London stamps but how cool is that mini!!!
Adorable cards!!! My faves are Love London (all those adorable critters in the bus are 2 cute), and London Calling! Thanks for the chance to win!
I LOVE all of them and it is not easy to pick a favorite but for me (being from Holland) thinking of the UK is seeing a red telephone booth so I go for that one and of course that adorable hedgie!!!!!!!!!
I love the bridge!
OMGoodness the new stamps are the cutest ever…..thanks for sharing..I always love to see the videos it always helps me. I love the all over stamps to make your own papers to
match what colors that you need….thank you again.
Linda
I really like the Love London clear set, but the Double Decker bus is packed with cuties too 🙂
It’s hard to pick a favorite I love the “love london” stamps with the double decker bus and the Westminster Abbey stamp!
I am LOVING this new collection, and would be thrilled to win! Thanks so much for a chance…and for all the wonderful inspiration!!!
My favorite London stamp us the double-decker bus! I hope I can win!
Hi Ilove the British collection. Being from Scotland and having lived in London twice I can really relate to these stamps. Thanks
I love this collection. “When you’re tired of London, you are tired of life…”
I like London Eye most. I was up there in nov. and I were so scared, it was high! But my son thought it went to slowly… Different thoughts… 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous cards! My favourite has to be the Miniful (I remember us cramming 8 of us into an old mini in my teenage years!!!) but I think I will have to have the clear set too, as that bunting will be sooo useful with the jubilee and the olympics.
You make a old landmark stamp look so fun! It’s like that Gnome that someone stole awhile ago…..and then took it different places around the world and posted photos of it at famous landmarks. Just like this furry little guy! He’s so cute. London Bridge is my fav.
Laura
It’s such a hard choice, but I think I’ll go for the London Calling stamp as a favorite or the clear set with the cute animals. When we lived in England, we had a hedgehog in the garden.
