The Stamp Review Crew: Weather Together


Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday.  Today we look at another set from the main catalog, Weather Together, which coordinates with the Umbrella Weather framelits.  If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from the fabulous Ann Schach's blog.

To try something different with this bundle, I created a stencil by repeatedly die-cutting rain drops into a piece of acetate.

You could sponge through the stencil, but I decided to use embossing paste to create a fun textured surface.  This set goes nicely with the raindrop patterns in A Little Foxy DSP Stack, and watercoloring the umbrella matches the sketchy nature of this set.  This card follows the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #281.

Here is the inside of the card.  This is the first time I made a white card with a colored inside... I think I like it.


Stamps: Weather Together; Paper: Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, A Little Foxy DSP, Acetate; Ink: Calypso Coral, Basic Gray; Accessories: Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim, Aquapainter, Embossing Paste, Umbrella Weather Framelits, Big Shot.

ICYMI, here's a Stamp Club card made with Weather Together, in fact, shown on a previous Stamp Review Crew hop.

Hop on over to Valerie Moody's blog to see what fun projects she has put together with this week's set.

LOVE the embossing paste!! Actually, I love every little detail of the first card. And the flash back card is nothing to shake a stick at either, lol!
