Good choices - I use In the Garden a lot and it is a lovely set for Easter cards. Christmas Critters was my first Penny Black Christmas purchase and I used it a lot for a couple of years - I think I need to dig that set back out and use them again over the summer for this year's Christmas cards. Wonderful is a recent purchase and I have barely used them so far so need to remedy that. I will pm you the supplier that I use for most of my Penny Blacks - they do have Christmas Critters in stock.
I recently did a blog post on my favourite Penny Black's here

No SilverTiger it's cut on the CAMEO.

Well I didn't think I'd be catching up tonight! This is last weeks using a technique I've seen done and always wanted to try - really love the Christmas Scene ones. Thought a wedding occasion was perfect for trying it out. The shop name is the brides family name which I though would add a nice touch for her.
So - just the rainbow one now!! Phil that fan is fab - do you make your own cutting files?

Here is mine for this week. I love monochromatic cards, especially ones that are all white or all cream.

Wow Karen, you've really led our Silver Tiger astray haven't you!
Thank you all for the lovely comments. I must admit I've enjoyed this challenge and the chiropractic is working so it's nice to be back and to be able to take part again.
Barb, lovely card, I think that Marianne die is one of my favourites it is so versatile. Do you ever have problems with the very end side pieces getting stuck though or is that just me?

Lovely card Barbie - I also have that Marianne die - it is so pretty and very useful.
Susie - I rub my dies over with a tumble dryer sheet before using them - I find that helps a lot.

Funnily enough Silver Tiger I've been doing that lately on my more fiddly dies but haven't tried it on that one yet. Although it is more like it hasn't cut so well at those little end bits because it comes out of the die okay just the unwanted bits don't come away at the ends so easily.
The tumble dryer sheet trick really does work for getting out card that's stuck in the actual die though, I was so impressed with that. The card I've just finished has lots of fiddly Marianne die leaves and I tried it on them.

This is the card I made for this challenge. As usual it didn't turn out the way I intended and placing things onto glittered vellum is a pain because the leaves kept jumping out of place. Very fiddly and I might try it again with different placements.

What a stunning card ! Really lovely !
Susie - have you tried using a thin shim under the more intricate dies ?

That's a lovely card Susie. I love all white cards.
I didn't cut those pieces myself as I bought them on ebay ready cut.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments and for the replies too.
I didn't even know you could buy stuff like that on e-bay Barb. I'm sure other card makers would cut some dies for you to save you buying them, I know I would.
Silver Tiger, I might try a shim just at each end because they're the only parts I have trouble with. Might try it right now in fact.
Nope, that didn't work either. It seems very hit and miss, sometimes it works but most times it doesn't and it's only the very middle bits at the end. I think it's proibably the type of card I'm using too.

My soul is fed by crafting.
Loving these white on white cards, gorgeous work girls.
