Very, very cute cards!!! My style, so I am told, is clean and simple lines as well as elegant.
Paper Hugs,

Well what can you say about these “cuties”…they are all so darn adorable! They are ALL a must on my ‘wish list’ for sure! My style of stamping changes with my mood (lol) I love the simple clean & simple look at times especially for my manly man cards but then I love to gussy up my friends and families cards by layering them with flowers and embellishments…of course it only costs $5.00 more to send them…lol This again has been so much fun enjoying all the new Valentines stamps that PB has come out with….great job!
I love all of these little guys!! I stamp a little bit of CAS, layered, elegant, vintage, etc – depending on the mood I’m in and what type of stamp image I’m working with.
Perfect cute stamps!So lovely!
My style is more layering with papers, but I try to learn to be more cas;-))m
These are superb, so cute and fun! Love them! My style is clean and simple as much as possible but who can resist going OTT now and again? :O)
Oh, these stamps are so adorable and cute. I love these so much. My style is in between CAS and layered cards. But I never can resist these stamps to work with.
Super sweet stamps..my style well more CAS but do all styles I think,,,,
My style of stamping – simple and clean
Love them all!
I am still a beginner and have lots to learn
And gosh, these stamps are super adorable
Hugs, Katarina
I’m a clean and simple girl, I sometimes try the lovely layered look as I think those cards look beautiful, but I just haven’t got the eye for it! You can’t go wrong with critters, though, whatever the style, love the lot!
I actually do both styles! Love CAS, but at times, really like layers and layers., Love that dump truck w the hearts on the clear set!!
What a darling stamp set with those precious images, and the card is adorable! I love all those hearts! My cards alternate between CAS and layered all the time. I don’t think I have any particular style – I just create whatever I’m in the mood for
Oh these are so adorable, I absolutely love these cute critters, will be looking forward to seeing more on facebook

It depends on who the card is destined for – if it is being hand delivered then I can go mad with the layers and embellishing, but if it is going in the post then I have to go for Clean and Simple.
The new stamp set is simply adorable xx
Oh I forgot to say I love clean and simple but I find it very difficult and tend to do cards with lots of fabrics,textures and layers most of the time

Layered are my favorite to make! I have a really hard time with clean and simple.
I am more of a Layers and FUN details girl!! I can make case cards, but they never seem quite finished to me!! LOVE the NEW stamps, that dump truck one is too CUTE!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
My style is closer to clean and simple, lots of layers of papers just doesn’t work for me. I make lots of background myself with stamps, and PB stamps work for that too
I love these stamps…I know where my Christmas money is going….Loads of love…now that is great, I am a simple, straight lined card maker and scrapbooker too! great card samples too!
I love ‘sweet ride’!! These new stamps are all so cute!
I’m not sure what my style is, yet, but I have been leaning more towards CAS cards lately.
Whoa, what cute stamps. I love the Sweet Ride. This Love is in the Air… week is so fun.
I try to do CAS, but it always looks like it is missing something, SO I guess I am a LAYERED CARD person.
I tend towards clean and simple but I love the layered look. Adorable card, love it!
Cute card.

OMG these have to be the cutest stamps ever, I want them all. cute cards
I’m still learning, but I would call my style, not enough or cluttered. LOL I also feel it depends on what size card you are making. It’s easier to fill a 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 card than it is to fill a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 card and the 8 1/2 x 11 cards that I’ve been making to allow space for many signatures, is the hardest to fill.
Such a cute card. My style of card making is more clean and simple, sometimes stepping outside the box and going into more detail. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh wow! I love “Loads of Love!” I am not able to do CAS. I have to do multiple layers lots of embellishments.
Oh how adorably sweet are those critters, just love these stamps!!! My style is clean and simple but on occasion I might make a card with lots of layers and embellishments. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I had to laugh at Hedgie having fun on his scooter & I’m intrigued by Jump For Love – I’ve got ideas for using that base flower….. As for my style… it tends to be layered for CAS just goes terribly awry with me. I’m eager to learn more of the CAS not deeply layered but there has to be at least two layers for me not to be panic stricken when creating.

Thanks for a fun week again.
I mostly do simple card making, but am expanding my horizon and learning more techniques. Card making is endless and I love it.
I have learned I have no particular “style”; but clean and simple cards make my heart sing! These new stamps are so fun and fabulous!!
I love to do layered cards. If I do a clean and simple card, I just have to add ribbon or glitter or anything to make it pop. Thanks for showing your cards.
I have alwaysloved the critter stamps and these are no exception. Some of my work is CAs and some others are layering . Thanks for showing all the ideas
These stamps are so adorable! I really like the look of CAS, but I find i end-up layering when I try…
I gravitate towards a more elaborate design but time often forces me to the CAS….variety is the spice of life! Love these cuties!
Darling critter stamps & card! I usually have some layers, but still tend overall to be more simple in my designs.
Adorable stamps!.. I lean towards clean and simple and enjoy coloring the most!
aawww… the hedgies are always just so cute!! what a sweet set of stamps! i go back and forth between few layers and lots of layers.
Hi , my card style leans towards layering and fussy cutting. I love the new cat and hedgie stamps. I love doing lots of coloring and making all these cute critters pop off the page. The new designs really capture that Valentine Spirit!
Overall I try to do CAS cards! Thanks for a chance to win
My style is more based on a clean and simple look, I love layered cards and I’m always in awe of those who can make those, but I just can’t seem to make that style my own yet. Thanks so much!
Love all these stamps. I make layered cards, haven’t given clean and simple a try.
Most of my cards are CAS. The new critter stamps are adorable! Thanks for a chance to win.
Penny Black has the most cute and adorable range of stamps that will suit everyone. My wish list is getting so long I will need to win the lottery!!!
clean and simple when pressed for time, but on a long undisturbed afternoon, layers and fussy cuts are a great way to pass the time, especially with such cute stamps from PB
These are adorable. My style depends on how many cards I’m making. If I’m making only a few then it’s more complex otherwise for a lot of cards I keep it clean and simple.
wow super cute stamps, i love them all. I am new to card making and stamps, i usually keep it clean and simple but would love to try some of the more complex styles.
I love love love layered projects, but lately I’ve been more on the clean and simple side… Maybe it’s all the inspiration from your blog! TFS!
I am more of a clean and simple gal! LOVE all those animals.
Awww..I love the critter on the scooter. Too cute! I tend to keep it CAS!!
I love “critter” stamps so these today are right up my alley- love them all!
These images are adorable!!! I think I’m more CAS, although I do love to piece and include layers in my piecing.
These are sweet critters! I love the layering usually, but sometimes just the right CAS is good too! Thanks 4 the chance!
Definitely more CAS, but big on cute animals or pretty flowers
I’m smitten with this hedgehog. I just want to hug him although it would be uncomfortable for both of us.
My favorite little guy…. the hedgehog. Love these new stamps.
Lovely stamps! I do love the cas ones on white embossed cardstock. Gorgeous effects! Ruby x
Adorable new stamps! I love to try all kind of techniques but CAS would be more of my style!
i lean towards clean and simple but i have done the layered cards as well..
I’m having so much fun this week. My style is a bit inbetween. I do layering, but not to much. But more than CAS.
I love these bright colors and the layering is wonderful. My style is usually lots of layering, but I’m also “into” clean and simple. My students in my classes seem to prefer to do cards using the layering though so I tend to keep doing that.
Such delightful stamps and esp. cards! I like a more creative style but CAS is good too!!
I like a well-balanced card of any kind but I seem to like CAS best.
Sweet and adorable new stamps…my style flips from CAS to more layered style depending on my mood or the recipient.
I just love all these critter stamps!!!! So cute!!! I like making more complex cards.
i like both! it really depends on the mood i am in and who the card is for. i love the critters! pb has the best their is!
Fabulous stamps of course….my style is definitely plenty of layers.xxx
oh la la quelle jolie collection!!! je me réjouis de les trouver!
mon style? je ne sais pas si j’ai un style, j’essaie de faire ce qui me plait que ce soit shabby, C&S c’est selon mon envie et mon humeur…merci a toute l’équipe, biz
I tend to layer because I think simple cards take more talent to pull off! I am still learning and I hope to have the skill and confidence to make a beautiful and simple card like this one. You guys are killing me with these new stamp sets, I want everyone because they are all wonderful!
I am a stamper in transition. Once I got past being a newbie stamper and, as scrapbooking caused the availability of DSP to explode, I really loved doing lots of layers. But, as time started to get more scarce, all that layering started to be too timeconsuming. So now I am moving more toward CAS style, trying to find my way to CAS that says “style choice” not “beginner.” I will continue to do some elaborate layers, but am looking to focus on CAS in 2013 to get a higher comfort level there.
Most of my cards are CAS, I love this style.
I feel that both styles have great merit and I couldn’t choose just one. It depends on the occasion of the card and who I’m giving it to. It also depends on how much time I have, less time equals CAS (haha).
sweet stamps! my style CAS but do all styles.
Adorable cards… can’t wait to get my hands on these stamps!
Who could resist these cute little critters. Hedgie I luv you!!!
I lean towards the clean and simple look…but, also love to add creative layers. Love the stamps!
I like to do both styles, but usually I lean toward simple layering. These stamps are adorable!
Both styles appeal to me – and all the stamps are so cute.
Oh My! Look at that Scooter (that’s what I ride!) I think I need that ‘Sweet Ride’!
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I am more of a clean and simple with minimal layers.
Love these adorable cards. I do both, depending on mood & occasion. I’d say more are CAS, especially if I need a lot quickly.
I am really drawn to the Clean & Simple style these days. My schedule is so busy that I have to stick with designs that don’t take too long to make. I am loving these adorable critter stamps for Valentine’s Day. So cute!
I love these critter stamps!! They are sooo cute!
Love these stamps … especially the hedgehog ones. They’re so cute!! My style is definitely CAS.
Love these little critters, especially the hedgehog!

Very cute cards ! I tend to do layers on my cards – have not mastered the clean and simple, always want to add a few more extra touches !
Hi PB &J!
Love those critter stamps! Oh so adorable! I like making CAS & cute whimsical layered as well. The Valentine ‘s Collection is fabulous! Hope Santa will see my PB&J list this year. That’s all I want for Christmas !
Merry Christmas from Tennessee!
Everything I do is in layers and layers… I want every stamp you’ve shown today they are my favorite..
I love complex with layers. I try to do that but my cards seems more simple and if you sketched it, they always look like the same pattern.
I figure I just need more practice.
So adorable! Love Love Love your stamps!
I love the CAS look, but have yet to master it. I tend to be more of a shabby, chic layered look card maker! A few of my Christmas cards this year were more of the CAS look, but not totally!!!!
I definitely aspire to the clean and simple look. Just love your animal stamps – especially the hedgehog.
I lean more towards the CAS style but often like to change things a bit with a layered look.
The critter stamps are so cute!!
Cute, cute, cute cards. All the critters stamps are so adorable, but that sweet, spiky little hedgie is my favorite. A definite must have set!
my style is a little of both. The stamps are all so cute..
So many ADORABLE images today! I’m a sucker for your cuddly porcupines, etc.
Love the CAS look!
DeniseB
I don’t have a specific style, but admire those that can create CAS cards!
I like simple and layered cards with some dimension. The hedgie’s have always been a favorite!
Lots of Love and Load of Love set is just too cute
love these cute stamps…!!
The Penny Black Team is Nunber 1.. Great stamps and cards
