April 2022 Clear Stamp of the Month Inspiration:

Pop Up Thank You Card

• Heat emboss images in gold embossing powder. Add color using your favorite coloring medium. Cut out using coordinating dies.
• Create a background using April Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month and Polished Brass foil. Adhere on the left side of an open side folding white card base.
• Create a pop-up element by trimming down a piece of white cardstock to W 5-1/4” x H 5-1/2”. Score at 3/4, 2-1/4, 3.0, 4-1/2 and 5-1/4″ marks.
• Create a second pop-up element in the same way as the first one and then, get the ends of each of them adhered with strong double-sided adhesive.
• Adhere inside the card. Adhere the second pop-up element to the first one but only add glue to the edges leaving the middle part free of adhesive to place a gift card in there.
• Add a large sentiment on the inside of the card.
• Create a belly band closure and add a smaller card panel to it.
• Finish off the closure by getting it embellished with another die-cut gifts element and a smaller sentiment to complete the look.

Collecting Happy Moments Card

• Die-cut camera using April Large Die of the Month from white and light gray cardstock. Use Gold or Holographic cardstock to add a shiny effect to some of the camera pieces.
• Use colored cardstock to cut out the flowers and leaves, or simply use white cardstock and add color by blending blending ink.
• Assemble the camera and floral elements.
• Die-cut another camera base, score it and adhere to the main camera to create a shaped card.
• Cut a large piece of bakers twine to make the hanger element.
• Heat emboss a sentiment in Gold embossing powder using April Clear Stamp of the Month and cut it out using coordinating die. Foam mount onto the card.

From All of Us Card

• Use April Embossing Folder of the Month to add texture to a large white card panel. Trim down to a slimline size panel and foam mount to slimline card base.
• Use the outer dies included in April Small Die of the Month to cut out the large image for the gifts from plain white cardstock.
• Carefully ink up where each gift goes using some detailed ink blending brushes and different color inks.
