Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Design Team! We can Weather Together April Showers and anything else that comes along! April Showers is the theme this month, so it got me thinking about the Weather Together stamp set wording. But first, a bit about me, my name is Pip Todman from Ash Vale, UK and if you’re new here or a regular, welcome to what will a wonderful hop! This month we are lucky enough to have 2 Artisan Design Team members with us, our own Emma and joining us for this month Rhoda too! If you want to see all the inspiration then just use the links at the bottom of this post to hop between all of us.
Weather Together April Showers with Stampin’ Creative
I love being a part of the Stampin’ Creative design team. Not only because of the inspiration I get from all of my amazing fellow demonstrators, but also the friendships formed between us all. Some of us will be holidaying together again this summer, in Alaska. Some we won’t see now until the next OnStage in November. Yet every month we come together and in-between we chat on Facebook or over internet video calls. We support each other and cheer each other on; I wouldn’t be without my Stampin’ Creative design crew! So when this theme came about, I wanted to create some cards that reflected that!
Retiring Ink Colours
I think we can weather anything together, even losing all of the blue colours on these 2 cards. Yep all the blues you see are retiring ink colours to make way for some brand new colours! So my cards are a celebration of both Blue and my Stampin’ Creative design team friends!
The wording in this stamp set is what really caught my eye. From Celebrating (weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, engagements), thanks and then some for those tougher occasions. Wishing you brighter days, sometimes we all need to shelter from the storm – this is real life. Stuff happens, and you send a card to pick people up. Tell them that you are thinking of them right now and that you will be there for them no matter what.
Queen Pip Tip
On top of that, these cards are so quick to make because they use Memories & More cards! Ok the Celebrate one doesn’t, but it could! Want to know why I’m so excited about Memories & More card sending? In the new catalogue there are card blanks and envelopes designed to fit these cards perfectly, in fact the card above uses one of these! How awesome is that?
Right, that’s it from me. Over to the rest of my wonderful Stampin’ Creative crew, who I know will do the theme proud. We can Weather Together April Showers and anything else life has to throw at us! Enjoy and catch you here again soon. (Oh and you can purchase everything except the new M&M card blanks from my online store now – see the links below)

Always like the cute umbrellas in this one.
Thinking can also do the blue background using the dies in the colourful seasons too.
Yes Kat you could! Great idea!
