Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Hold on to Hope Stamp Set!
This stamp set holds a special place in my heart. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to design this stamp set for you. You can find it on p. 27 of the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.
This stamp set was inspired by my talented team of Blooms and Butterflies as well as the Pounding for Parker Foundation, a foundation dedicated to raising money and awareness for pediatric brain tumors.
I hope you enjoy the tutorials featured below. And don’t forget to visit my Brandy’s Cards Stamp Club to enjoy the tutorial on how to package your Hold on to Hope cards for a gift.

I am just in love with this card and stamp set. Plus the dies make it a huge bonus. Way to go designing this stamp set. Its simply beautiful.
I get a lot of inspiration from you and your videos, and now this stamp set! I currently have a friend battling pancreatic cancer, and this set would make a lovely card for her. I especially like the vine winding around the cross.
Brandy, what a very inspirational set you designed. I had a sixteen years old niece that unfortunately loss her battle to cancer at age eighteen and the cards that I would receive of encouragement truly does help. What a nice thing you have done…
Hi Brandy,
I know first hand how difficult it is to have cancer. I have breast cancer with secondary bony metastases. Now I am an adult and there are days when I cannot cope with this disease, how a child is supposed to continue ‘being a child’ is sadly so difficult. Family and friends are all affected because they are either dealing it with you on a day-to-day basis or they are there in the wings ready to help when necessary. There is not enough money for the cancer research necessary. I love the fact Brandy that you have designed a stamp set directly related to Parker’s support. :O)
Cancer is such a bullie. Parker is lucky boy to have you as his matador. I love this set and what it stands for. I can hardly wait to use it! AND as always love the card, Brandy!
I love watching your videos. So exciting that you got to design this stamp set. Such lovely cards you have created with this set. It is a lovely gift your are giving. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful smile on the video.
You made that seem so easy. Thanks for the card measurements. That I can do. lol Have a great week.
Thank you for creating this beautiful stamp set!
Brandy, Thanks so much for designing the beautiful Hold On To Hope set. It’s hard to find great Christian inspirational sets.
I definitely need(not just want) this one. When will it be available for ordering?
Brandy – Your new stamp set is beautiful and will be perfect. We have a woman at church who sends cards to parishioners who are ill, who lost a loved one, for their birthday, and who may be going through hard times. She doesn’t have a lot of money, so I make her cards to send and she is so appreciative. I plan on purchasing your set for that purpose! Thank you for designing such a set and thanks to Stampin’ Up for choosing to put it in their catalog.
Congratulations Brandy!!! That is awesome! I LOVE the stamp set and cannot wait to get my hands on the bundle! I love message of hope that it includes and that fact that you showed your appreciation to your team! That is so great! You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for sharing your ideas with all of us!
I love the stamp set, can’t wait to order
I loved the card of hope you shared. Thank you.
IF GOD could close the mouths of the lions for Daniel, part the Red Sea for Moses, make the sun stand still for Joshua, open the prison for Peter, put a baby in the arms of Sarah, and raise Lazarus from the dead, THEN He can certainly take care of you!
NOTHING you are facing today is too hard for Him to handle.
I definitely could use this bundle as I provide cards for our Pastor and church as a ministry for members and non members as well as those visiting our church or other events in our small community here in Bloomfield, Missouri. Our shut ins and rehabilitating patients in hospital and nursing facilities. Each email tutorials and Brandi have touch many through this home. Thanks.
Beautiful cards. I love with the stamp set, but was on the fence about purchasing it – now I’m convinced it’s one I have to have. Thanks for the inspiration.
HI Brandy,
