Stampin’ Up! has a WEATHER TOGETHER stamp set and UMBRELLA WEATHER framelits die set in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue.
There are lots of cards and project ideas available to use as project inspiration – from the catalogue itself, Google images, Pinterest … and these are all a great place to start.
After that, I begin to think about how I can use these in other creative ways … here are my projects …
Top left card … totally CASEd from the catalogue [p.55]
Bottom right card … inspired by Breast Cancer Awareness …
Using the umbrella frame stamp in a different way … upside down to collect raindrops …
… I haven’t made a Magic Slider Card in a long time …. time to reveal …
… a brighter side to the raindrops before.
So, after ‘typically’ uses of the stamps, what else can you do?
Try turning things around …
Before this card was made, the original idea came from television – Charlie and the Chocoloate Factory was being advertised as a film to be screened in the next week or so. I had been playing with this round stamped shape and realised that it was just like an EVERLASTING GOBBSTOPPER …so this was the first project …
Please note that the background was created using an inked acrylic block as demonstrated by Rich at On Stage Live.
