ONLINE CLASS: How to create a set of Suspended Gold Cross Cards

SUSPENDED GOLD CROSS CARD SET

On this video class we'll be creating a set of 3 beautiful Suspended Gold Cross cards. These cards work for many occasions including: Easter, Sympathy, Hope, Communion, Confirmation, Baptism and more. My original card idea was to hang the cross from the card to look like a cross necklace, which I loved in the first card. But then I was inspired, and created the locket card and the frosted gold frame "window" card. This set was created with the Stampin Up Hold On To Hope stamp set and coordinating Cross of Hope dies and Garden Trellis Impressions Folder.
