Their products are designed to integrate style and colour for creating the best handicraft projects ever. Two great stamps to be won.....................

Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it !


We are so sorry to tell you that Crimson Cloud are closing down this month, they have been one of our lovely sponsors for so long and will miss working with them and would like to take this opportunity to thanks them for their support of Penny Black and More. They have an on line clearance sale which has just started and will run until 31st March, so please do pop over there and see what bargain you can find.

Now for some inspiration and are pleased to welcome two Guest Designers this month, first is Carla who was selected from last months entries and has made this lovely card to share with us all.....................

And this is what the Design Team have come up with to inspire you.................

As lots of you will know Penny Black have recently released their Happy Everything collection of stamps and dies, you will find them all by clicking here. I have made three cards to showcase some of them, however those I selected were mainly floral so the link to the theme is a little tenuous but I have tried to draw that in with my choice of computer generated poems and quotes.
