Susanbcards: September 2025

I'm taking part in the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember2025 Party! You can see all the participants on the SSS Blog!

Here is a video tutorial or read the steps below:

To make my card, I stamped the image on 3 pieces of watercolor cardstock, you could just do 2 if you don't care that you can see a bit of the panel on the first layer with the adhered oval. I couldn't photograph the shine but it is heat embossed with gold embossing powder. That is optional.

I then colored the cutout oval layer with a combo of Copic markers, watercolor paint and colored pencil (the streaks on the flower). I used an oval to cut out the center. I used a stitched rectangle die for this layer for a nice edge.

I laid that colored oval over another one of the stamped panels. You can see a bit of that layer when you look at the card so I decided to just color about an inch around the oval, you don't have to do that but I didn't like seeing the uncolored panel at certain angles. After coloring the panel I adhered the oval to the panel.

I then took the layer with the oval cut out and popped it up with foam so it would float over the first layer with the adhered oval.

For the 3rd layer, I diecut the Celebrate die from the center and then colored it in. I diecut the Celebrate 3x from regular cardstock scraps to pop it up. I used Copic marker to edge the sides to match the colors.

I laid the Celebrate over the oval, lining up the lines. I then cut one more Celebrate diecut and cut off the C and the E at the end, glued it on so it wouldn't sink in the middle.

For a limited time, my link is for the T-Square Ruler! I use mine to line up my sentiments. It's free with a $30 purchase (one code per order). You can see it HERE.
