Hi Stamping Friends!
At our July Too Cool team shoebox swap, Peggy Tassler brought a cheerful card using the Weather Together stamp set. She also brought several additional card samples made with that set, so I wanted to share just a few of them! Weather Together is the perfect stamp set for a hopeful thinking of you card, a cheerful springtime card, and even a bridal/baby shower card or invitation!
Plus, who's kidding who? It's just fun to play around with different colors, patterns and textures of the umbrellas!
I love all of the fun die-cuts from the Umbrella Weather Framelits. Look at the different umbrella borders you can cut! The cute clouds! And the rain drops or falling hearts. Super cute & fun!

Weather Together I'm Here For You Card
Peggy's swap card featured the new Peekaboo Peach & Dapper Denim In Colors. They look amazing together!
Background Basics—Peggy's card begins by stamping the cluster of raindrops image in Dapper Denim all over a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White. You don't have to fill in every space for the rain to look like a good shower. This layer was adhered to a Peekaboo Peach card base.
Next, a 2-1/2" square of Whisper White is layered onto a 2-5/8" square of Dapper Denim and adhered to the card front. You can use the Layering Squares Framelits to cut these square layers if you want.
Umbrella—Next, Peggy had us stamp the Weather Together umbrella image in Peekaboo Peach onto Whisper White, then die-cut it with the Umbrella Weather Framelits. The handle is also die-cut from the same framelits from matching Peekaboo Peach card stock. The umbrella is popped up with Dimensionals over the handle.
Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Weather Together stamp set and Umbrella Weather Framelits together in a bundle to save 10% off the cost of purchasing them separately.
Finishing Touches—A single Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon bow is attached to the corner of the focal point with a Glue Dot.
Sweet Sentiment—Peggy stamped the greeting from Weather Together in Dapper Denim onto Whisper White, then used the new Bunch of Banners Framelits to die-cut a banner. This particular banner die-cut is SO COOL! It not only cuts out the banner for the sentiment, but it cuts out the little banner-shaped border that goes around it, too! Peggy die-cut a second banner from Peekaboo Peach to get that border piece that she adhered with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. The greeting banner is popped up with Dimensionals.
Sparkly Rain—If you look closely, you can see that there are a few tiny raindrops that are sparkly! Those are little Silver Glimmer Paper die-cuts from the Umbrella Weather Framelits, carefully adhered with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. I added only added six, but it really makes the card amazing!

Weather Together I'm Here For You Clouds Card
Peggy shared this second Weather Together card with more sparkly raindrops!
Background Basics & Sentiment—This time, Peggy started with a 4" x 5-1/4" Smoky Slate background on a Melon Mambo card base. She used the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch to give the card a softer shape. The Weather Together sentiment is stamped in Memento Black Ink.
Umbrella—Rather than stamping the umbrella, she die-cut the shape from Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper and die-cut a handle and umbrella border from Basic Black card stock using the coordinating Umbrella Weather Framelits.
Clouds & Rain—The Whisper White clouds and Silver Glimmer raindrops are also die-cut from framelits.

We'll Weather This Together Card
Peggy shared this third Weather Together card that shows more versatility with this stamp set!
Background Basics & Sentiment—Peggy stamped the 3-3/4" x 5" Soft Sky layer with Smoky Slate raindrops, making sure to have no rain under the shelter of the umbrella! She added a Weather Together sentiment in Memento Black Ink. It was layered it onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. Both layers are mounted on a Pink Pirouette card base.
Umbrella—This time, she die-cut the shape from Pink Pirouette card stock and die-cut a handle and umbrella border from Basic Black card stock using the coordinating Umbrella Weather Framelits. See the delicate swirly pattern on the umbrella? That texture is created with one of the Umbrella Weather Framelits! Too Cool!
Rain—She added more Silver Glimmer raindrops on this card, as well. A must!
