Technique Tuesday: Cath Edvalson Blog Hop
Edited: Yikes! My comments section was not working. Sorry about that. Fixed! Thank you Elizabeth Dillow!
Hey, y'all! After much summer hibernation, I'm back! And for a great reason. Today is the blog hop for Cath Edvalson's amazing stamp and die designs for Technique Tuesday. You are probably arriving from Lisa Adametz's blog. Welcome welcome!
If you don't know who Cath is, you'll arrive at her blog at the end of this hop. Or really, you should go there immediately. And then come back to the hop. She's that awesome. And to top it off, she's a super nice person. Win-win.
Here are a couple of projects I made using the new goodies:
I love this Instagram I took of my parents. They are so cute together.
I used Garden Leaves Die set to cut those vellum leaves. Then I cut one out of green cardstock and trimmed off the lower two leaves for that little detail. I love that the focus is on the photo and story. But that bit of leaves and green pick up the background of photo (Huntington Gardens).
For this card, I used two sets of stamps, Heartfelt Thanks and Garden of Life. I cut out a heart slightly larger than the Heartfelt heart stamp on the top flap of the card base. Then I stamped the sentiment from Garden onto a piece of vellum and embossed it with black powder.
I stamped the heart on another piece of cardstock, embossed that and colored it in with markers. Not the fastest card, but super easy! Just what I like. By the way, black embossing powder? Messy!
So now what? Well, you are almost at the end of the hop. Next up is my dear friend Teri Anderson's blog.
And then, PRIZES! Technique Tuesday is giving away 3 prizes. One person will win all of Cath's new products. Two people will win $25 gift certificates to get whatever they want from the Technique Tuesday store.
For chances to win, leave comments along the blog hop. The winners will be chosen randomly from all the comments from all the blogs. So leave a comment at each stop for more chances of winning. Easy peasy! You have until September 16, 2105, Midnight PST to leave comments. The winners will be announced September 18 on the Technique Tuesday blog.

Very nice projects! Awesome job on that heart. And thanks about the tip on black embossing powder being so messy ... I won't buy any! haha
Love the what you colored the heart and the vellum overlay.
Love the muted look of the color behind the vellum. I find that using black versa fine ink and clear
embossing powder is way neater than black embossing powder :)
Terrific projects showcasing these new stamps and dies! I LOVE the leaves, especially in white on your beautiful project of your sweet parents :)
So pretty! Thanks for sharing! (Congrats to your parents on 52 years!)
Your card is so very pretty. Love that the colorful heart is on the inside. I never thought of using vellum as a window. Great idea. I've only been making cards for a year so there lots to learn! One tip I got from watching Jennifer McGuire that you might like: instead of using black embossing powder (yes messy!) - use black pigment ink (I use Versafine Onyx black) then embossed with clear. Yikes! I can't believe I am giving someone advice ... I'm the newbie! But it works. Thank you for sharing your card/creativity with us.
You made me smile!!! Love the soft subtle leaves on the project with your parents picture!
What a sweet layout, just perfect! And that second, what a fantastic surprise when you get inside, love how you colored that flower!
The picture of your parents is so beautiful! I love the layout and the subtle details! The colored heart is beautiful! I love that stamp set and really loved your take on it!

LOVE your bright happy card Linda and your use of vellum. I have a huge stash of it and I always forget to use it! Thanks for the inspiration!
I've become obsessed with vellum overlays recently. Yours is beautiful with the intricate heart behind it.
I love the stained glass feel of the one card and how the vellum looks on it. The way you used the dies to frame your parents was very nice also. It accents but doesn't over power.
Cath's heart stamp is perfect for colouring, It looks lovely.
Lovely card and love the photo of your parents. The leaf at the bottom is a great touch.
Beautiful projects! I love the vibrant colors on your heart.
Fabulous projects!
Love how you get two looks from one project with the vellum overlay. Thought you got great smiles from your folks. Beautiful picture. Congratulations to them.

Aw your layout is so sweet. I enjoyed seeing a layout as a change from cards. But I'm bias as I am a scrapbooker who makes cards.
Love how you framed your parents' picture...subtle and pretty. The heart card is gorgeous. Looks like stained glass.

Your journaling on your parent's page started my day off with a smile! Love how you framed them with the leaves. And your heart colors rock.....makes using messy black powder sooooo worth it!
Two lovely cards and the vellum looks lovely on both. A great idea Linda. x
Gorgeous, with the coloring and the vellum. I love the page with your parents and the saying. So cute.
Great page, simple but beautiful! Love your card too. Like stained glass in a card!
I love your project and also congratulations to your parents on their many years of wedded bliss.
The tone on tone leaves are the perfect frame for the photo! Gorgeous cards and coloring!
52 years....wow, that's really lovely. I just celebrated my 42nd wedding anniversary in Washington DC. ''Twas fun two oldies hobbling around and in pain. Lol. Anyhow, your tribute card to them is lovely. A nice way to celebrate them. I just bet they loved this card. Just goes to show Caths designs have something for everyone.
Your card reminds me if a stained glass window.
