Holding onto Hope is a strong message for a variety of issues one may have. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a sickness or just one of life’s challenges, hope can bring us to a place of joy and contentment. That’s one reason I like the new Hold on to Hope stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog. This set is great for birthdays, baptisms, Easter and anniversaries too.

The stamp set can be purchased in a bundle with the coordinating Framelits Dies which expand the possibilities even more. View all the products used at the bottom of this post.

Here are two very different cards I made from the set. The first one is for Easter and features a sentiment from the Suite Sentiments Stamp Set (retired). 

This next card was CASEd from BrandyCards.com. I changed it up a little by stamping the background on the diagonal instead of straight. I also embellished a bit more with the flourish and butterfly from the set. I also added a few pearls to add some elegance. The sentiment for this card is from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set (2017-18 Annual Catalog).

Purchase this stamp and die bundle with coordinating cardstock and you will also earn a free item from the Sale-a-bration! Catalog. What could be better!
