Welcome to the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop! This month's blog hop is May flowers or sympathy themed-- so I went with flowers-- all the way!!!! If you’re following along the hop, you’ve arrived from Lori’s blog-- who just happens to be our guest hopper this month! I can't wait to see what she has created!
In the spirit of my blog post from last month, let's use up that Designer Series Paper (DSP)!! (If you missed it, last month I did a OWS- one sheet wonder)! This project also takes one whole sheet of DSP and makes a super fun class project or a sweet present! The purse tote for cards was shared by a fellow demonstrator, Terri Gaines, at our convention a few years back and I have loved it ever since.

I can't find the instructions online anymore but I did have a printed copy that I took a scan of and upload below. One of the unique features of this project is that it requires the diagonal plate for the score board, which some of you might have. We don't currently sell it but you might be able to find it at a craft store...
Want to see what's inside? I made some super simple cards to use up some retiring colors- Macaron Mint and Watermelon Wonder plus some more DSP that is retiring.

Each card has a bit of technique (like embossing or stamping a background with the same color) so it makes a nice statement, but the whole project took about an hour for me to make-- which means it is accessible to everyone!

Simple is nice sometimes, right? I know that I didn't play with this stamp set enough this past year -- Love & Affection. Such a sweet set that is still available-- at least this week!! Plus, Affectionately Yours DSP is still around too and on sale!

And now, on with the blog hop! You hopefully came here from Lori Mueller and are headed to Barbara Welch's blog! I can't wait to see what these ladies have cooked up for this month... Plus, keep coming back to my blog for more sneak peeks of new catalog product (or scroll down)...
Happy crafting,
Melissa
