Kathy has been looking for a job for months. She is hoping that something will turn up soon. (hoping that a job opportunity will appear)
Kathy has been painting a portrait of her mother. She is hoping that it turns out well. (hoping that the painting will be a success)

'turn up' has to do with appearance; 'turn out' has to do with final results.
