Hold on to Hope Card

Image
I designed the Hold on to Hope card to show a fun technique using the positive and negative cut outs of dies. This is an inlaid technique and it's simple to do and results in a very impressive look. The stamp set I used was Stampin' Up! Hold on to Hope. It's a new set that will be available in January for purchase. This set has a coordinating die set called Cross of Hope Framelits.

The person receiving it would pull on the ribbon and the white card will slide out with a gift card attached to the back.  I made this card using Real Red card stock for the main s...
