Hi everybody!
I’m hopping today with two companies I really dig: Technique Tuesday + Zva Creative!
If you’ve been taking part in the hop, you should have arrived here from the blog of Sharyn Tormanen. If you haven’t been taking part and just stumbled onto my post, welcome!
So the cool thing about this hop is we were challenged to make a project or two with products from both Technique Tuesday and Zva Creative.
Technique Tuesday is a manufacturer of top-quality clear stamps, Technique Tiles and other goods for paper crafters and scrapbookers. Zva Creative makes high-quality pearls, flowers and crystal embellishments that can be used on scrapbook pages, cards and other projects. In other words: They work well together! š
So meet my projects for the hop!
Here I used stamps from Technique Tuesday’s Make a Splash and Dad Seal (heart) stamp sets.
I think the pearl flourish from Zva looks cool spouting out of the whale.
The line of crystals are also from Zva. I love that they come in a line so you can use them straight and not have to arrange them yourself.
The flourish here is from Zva. I also used some small crystals from Zva to embellish the stamped line and word.
The word and line are from Technique Tuesday’s Bring on the Sun by Ali Edwards stamp set.
If you have been with the blog hop since the start of the hop, this is your last stop. (Don’t be sad, y’all. Be happy for all the cool stuff you saw! Grin!) If not, head to the very first stop, which is the blog of the talented Andrea Ewen.
I hope you left some comments during the blog hop. If not, head back and leave a few.
Both Technique Tuesday and Zva Creative will be giving away some prizes at random. Technique Tuesday will give away a $25 gift certificate to TechniqueTuesday.com, while Zva will give away a Zva prize package worth $30. The Technique Tuesday prize will be announced on the TT blog on Wednesday, while the Zva prize will be announced on the Zva blog at 9 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
All comments must be made by 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday,Ā June 19th.
Good luck!

Love these cards! The first one is so cute, and on the second, just love how you cut that little leaf shape from different paper where the swirls intersect and added the bling to the bottom border. Lovely!
fabulous Teri! I really like the blue & greens together…beautiful!
You’re my first stop because I like to do things backwards.
I think using the rhinestone flourish as the whale’s flourish is genius! I also really love the whale’s googly eye. Very Teri-fic.
The second card is really special too. I love that flourish and especially love the green patterned pieced within a loop of the flourish. I also love the color combo.
super card, I love the shine card and the colors you used on it.
Great cards Teri… LOVE both! Thanks for playing along with us!

Your whale card is super cute! The shine card is just amazing! I have no idea how you changed patterns along the edge of your swirl, but I love the effect! You’re so creative, Teri! TFS!

Your whale card is so cute; I agree, that does look like a water spout! But, oh girl, I do love that second card! Those are my colors and bling just makes it that much better! TFS!

Such a cute whale card and a beautiful, elegant card. Thanks for sharing.
These are wonderful cards! I know you design for both companies, Teri, and these cards just show how you can go “cute” or elegant with these products. I’ve never tried reshaping the crystals to make them into different shapes – they’re even more versatile than I thought. Thanks for participating in this fun hop!
Your cards are simply amazing! I especially love the whale! He is the cutest! It was a true joy hopping along with your team today.
Well, Sharyn said you rocked it, and she wasn’t kidding! I never would have thought to use the pearls as bubbles, how fun is that??
