Card idea using Hold On To Hope Stamp Set

  • Stampin' Up! Hold On To Hope Stamp Set
  • Stampin' Up! So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series paper
  • Order April Paper Pumpkin Kit by April 10, 2020

Hold On To Hope Stamp Set


Today I have a guest blogger.  Brenda Cannon created and sent me the card I'm showing below.  It uses the Hold On To Hope Stamp Set and the Coordinating Cross Of Hope Dies along with So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.  She commented that this beautiful card was an idea from prettypapercards.com  It combines so many lovely elements!






The basecard for today's card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

  
      




Then, the vines and flowers and butterfly were stamped in Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape ink, and then die cut using the Cross Of Hope Dies.  The Cross is also die cut using Cross of Hope Dies from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  The sentiment, from the Hold On To Hope Stamp Set, is stamped on a Whisper White rectangle die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  A large pearl accents the cross.  
     


This is such a lovely card for right now when so many of us need a little more hope.  You could lift someone's spirits sending them a beautiful card like this.  I love that Brenda used what she had on hand to create this card.    Let's keep stampin' as we think of others who would love to know you're thinking of them.  Sending handmade cards is a great way to stay in touch when you can't be with distant loved ones and your cards will be greatly appreciated during these times.

If you don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the January-June 2020 Mini catalog, contact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Stampin' Up! You're Inspiring Stamp Set

  • Easter and Spring cards using You're Inspiring
  • Final week to place Sale-A-Bration orders for free selections
  • Important Dates to Remember

Stampin' Up! You're Inspiring

I designed this card last year when the You're Inspiring set first became available.  It remains one of my my favorite stamp sets for Spring.  Its great for Easter, Mother's Day, Happy Spring, Happy Birthday and Sympathy.  I used the Striped Embossing Folder on the diagonal rather than vertically or horizontally, to create a background with more interest.  I used the sentiments from Fable Friends to refresh this year's card. I  love how it turned out!  Add it to your Wish List today, and order it so you have it in time for all your Spring Occasions. 






The basecard for today's card is Daffodil Delight.  Then a layer of Basic Black, and another layer of Daffodil Delight.  The stripes on the top layer of Daffodil delight are created with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I angled the layer in the embossing folder to create diagonal stripes.  The folder is meant to create horizontal or vertical lines, but on smaller layers, it can also be used to create diagonal lines, like the ones I created on this card.      

  

The image layer is framed by a piece of Basic Black on two sides.  The image and sentiment are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The Daffodil is colored using Light and Dark Daffodil Blends.  The leaves are colored using the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends.  Blends can be purchased individually, or in combo packs, making it easy to build your set a little at a time of all as new colors are introduced.             


The set is extremely versatile with 5 different sentiments that will carry you from Birthdays, to Easter, to Mother's Day.  I also found that sentiments, from other sets, like the Fable Friends work well with this set.  You'll find yourself reaching for this set for many different Spring occasions.
