Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May where we are preparing for the retirement of some Stampin' Up! products. Though it may be goodbye to some very loved supplies, it will make room for the much anticipated new catalog products. We hope you enjoy the Pals' creative projects.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Amy Hoptay at Inking of You, #19 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.
Saying good-bye is hard…and we all know that we have favorites that will always be shining stars in our eyes and today I showcasing an all time favorite of mine, the Top Note Die.
You can see that I am sharing with you (2) totally different ways of using this versatile die…and if you follow my blog, you have seen me post about these many times.
For the purse you can click here to see the full scoop of ins and outs in how to make this and it is really so much easier than the instructions look like. Please know that you can always email me and I will be happy to help you make this gem!
Some of my all time favorites are in this purse…strawberry slush, back to black DSP, sticky strip, thick bakers twine and of course, the top note die.
I tried something different and used the thick bakers twine to make the fringe…I just thought this cute bag needed a bit of fru-fru to make it super special.
Next, my all time favorite fun box! You can click here to see the past posts that I have blogged about it and you will also see the ins and outs of the how to's! Again, I am here for you if you need help. I adore these….just adore them!
I hope that you can see the fun that you can have with making these fun projects. It truly is amazing what you can make out of paper and you can clearly see that you will receive smiles from those that receive these!
The next stop is Debra Simonis at Deb's Stampin' Grounds , #21 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting; I hope to see you on next month’s Pals Hop!

The top note box is always a favorite of mine. I don’t think I have tried the clutch purse yet – at least I sure don’t remember making one. Of course, remember Alzheimer’s runs in my family! I love the faux stitching on it! Of course I love the colors of both projects. I do remember that die was the first one I bought. Well, I need to hop along and visit some more old favorites. Love seeing these favorites. Great job as always!
This is just too cute and clever!
Susan I always look forward to your designs. I will miss the Top Note too. Great purse idea.
Thanks for sharing this project 😉
