The Penny Black Blog 
Am so thrilled to see you are adding the die-cuts to your product line. I use the die-cut frames to add dimension to my Penny Black Critters, and the result is really great.
Wow! I love how you colored the die cuts and coordinated the backgrounds! I could do this (now that you have shown me how!). Thank you for the wonderful ideas! Love the dies!!!
I need the Bashful die! And I’ve a feeling I will need a lot more dies by the end of the week! Great video from Jill, and beautiful cards.
WOW, WOW, WOW. Love the new dies and the stamps. The video is amazing. I’m rushing out to the shops to get some gesso.
The addition of dies to the PB family is good news! I like the fact that they don’t match any stamps exactly which leaves room for more creativity. Thanks.
I love this video. I have the Gelatos and Big Brush Markers. I thought the artistry, the bird on wire stamp and the use of the die to just be drop dead brilliant!
awesome dies. Jill is a great artist and her videos are always so inspiring. Would love to win one of these dies.
Fabulous stamps and dies. Love this truly inspirational video! Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful new dies!I love the idea using both,the positive and the negative form.
I would be very proud to win one of these beautiful dies.The new stamps are also awesome,
love them too,all about a sunny holiday. – This year we don´t really have a summer,someone lost the sunshine anywhere.
We only can hope that it´ll be found in the next time – best wishes to heaven!

Wow!! Would like to get a go with these right away! The inspiration is flowing…but has to wait??? They are beautiful!! Luckely I use both positive and negative and the negative gets used as a great stencil to sponge through! Hugs, Gerrina

I love Love Love all of them!
I like how you have stamps and dies for the same image. Thank you Jill for giving us some ideas on how to color the die cuts. I especially like the bird die. Thank you Penny Black for giving us a chance to win one of your awesome new dies! I’m already a Member and a follower on Facebook : )
I’ll admit it–I am a dieaholic!
Yay! I love matching die cuts!
I love these new dies! I’ve really been resisting purchasing a die-cutting machine for the last couple of years, but these might just be the things that push me to do it! I find that PB stamps have become my “go to” supplies, I see these dies being the same…
Great cards and video. I like the new dies.

So happy to see the addition of co-ordinating dies to your stamp line! And I am looking forward to seeing more sneak peeks the rest of the week.
jill’s tutorial definitely rocks. Love the video how she use the new dies. And also her technique. Im always in awe.
Love the dies, especially Bashful. I love using dies and stamps together on my cards-it’s my current favorite thing to do!!!
Oh happy day! LOVE the dies, and the video is brilliant! The cards are so appealing and fresh. Nice to have some new techniques demonstrated, too
What a great video! I’d like to try using gesso too but I love the stamping techniques used and love the bird on a wire die!
So happy to see Penny Black dies. I am so very pleased with the way the stamps perform, you can count on them everytime to give a clear crisp image and I know the dies will live up to the PB name. 🙂 Thank you for all the great ideas Jill, I could watch you all day!
So excited and can’t wait for the lovely dies! Great video!
Love the new dies. Great card tutorial.
Love your new dies and how you colored them. Can’t wait to try some! Thanks for a chance to win and the great tutorial.
Thanks for all the new stuff! Love the tutorial and all the new dies!!!
Thrilled that you have added dies that coordinate with your stamp line. Thank you in for the opportunity
Great dies! Thanks for the card ideas too – love the way the grey ink adds to the background of he card.
What a great video. Love both cards – can’t wait to buy!
I love the new dies, it will add so much dimension to our card making. Penny Black is the best 🙂
What an awesome tutorial, Jill! Love the new dies, and the way you use the gelatos makes me yearn for a set of them, too! You work magic with your fingers!
So excited about these new additions to your line up! Great video!
They’re looking good & will really enhance my cards.
Am I understanding correctly? New dies will match up with stamps you already have out? That would be great -I have a lot of those flowers!
Thanks for your comment, Barb. The new dies will complement a couple of our existing stamps, Blush and Birds on Wire. They are not exactly the same so you have lots of creative options and they look beautiful together on cards. We will have one die released this go around that coordinates exactly with the same stamp…coming soon! 🙂
Wow!!!! I’m so excited to see the dies! And I LOVE how Jill used the stamps to enhance the cards.
Thank you for making these dies! Can’t wait till Friday aka Buyday!
Love these dies, especially the flowers! Thanks for the giveaway!!
SOOO exciting, just love the birds in a row die and the video is so inspiring!
Penny H
The new dies look good
What a tease! I have that Bashful stamp. So, I need the Blush die. I have mixed feelings about it not matching the size of the stamp, we older girls with arthritis would have enjoyed it to stamp and cut, and use it both ways. Love Jill’s video, she’s so inky and fun. I need some of those gelato markers and sticks.
Hi Paulette! Thanks so much for your feedback and ideas. We will have one die released this go around that coordinates exactly with the same stamp to save on that darn cutting…coming soon! 🙂
It is so great that you have created your own dies!! I look forward to owning some of them!!
I’m so excited about these dies. Love the birds and daisy…isn’t Jill a genius at creating these little art pieces. Who’d ever want to give one away?
I’m so excited about the new dies. Can’t wait to try them out!
Wow, thanks to Jill for that great tutorial. Okay, now I see the dies in a whole different light. How great to use if you don’t have a coordinating stamp image. I love using dies and can’t wait to get the birds and the flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I can’t wait to try these dies!
Hi Penny Black,
PB stamps and dies…a marriage made in heaven. Loved Jill’s PB&J video and can’t wait to see more! Thanks for sharing.
I really like the PB&J videos–Jill does such lovely cards. She is really a talented lady. Love your dies and stamps.
I love the flower dies just perfect for all kinds of projects!
Jill’s cards are lovely! Happy to see these dies are made in the USA! Bravo Penny Black!
The new goodies are so yummy. Thanks for the great tutorial.
I am a die addict and a Penny Black addict! Now there is no hope for me! Love what I see so far of your new dies and stamps.
Blush is my most favorite stamp and looking forward to getting the Bashful die to work with it! So glad you will be having these dies now! Love Jill’s videos.
So excited about using Penny Black dies. Love ’em!

The flowers are really pretty. NOT cutting them out would be great. Thanks for the chance/
Your video was very informative. I have the Blush stamp, so the Bashful Die would be a great addition for me. Always HAVE loved Penny Black stamps, so it’s nice that there are dies now, too. Keep up the great work! Judy
this is so exciting, to have dies for some of my fav stamps, only good comes from this
Excellent video and amazing cards. What a unique idea to have the stamps slightly smaller than the dies…
I am so excited that Penny Black has made some dies to go along with the stamps. I always like to have the best of both worlds!!

Wow – LOVE these new dies, & the techniques on the video & end results are just stunning. I’ve always been a ‘cut & stick’ crafter when it comes to dies, but this just takes it to another level. Off to write up my wish list!

I totally loved this video Jill – your creative genes never cease to amaze. And the dies are fabulous – would love to try and recreate both of these amazing cards…

OMG! For someone who is a die addict and one is in LOVE with Penny Black…I could be in BIG TROUBLE. I am surprised that the dies are not an exact match to the stamp. I do love what Jill does with her magic but I am not as gifted her. I wish I has as much talent in my pinky toe! 😉

I cant find any information on what die cut machine to use and what layering is needed to cut these…any help?
