Hi! I am Chris, also known as Glowbug on Splitcoaststampers. I live in Appomattox, VA. I so much enjoy blogging and the so many good friendships that have formed as a result. During my free time, I am creating cards or projects and I so enjoy Challenges. I have a very supportive husband, Scott, who understands my addiction and two young daughters,Meghan, 9 and Nicki, 12 years of age, who can't wait to get their hands on my stamps and embellishments. I was an elementary school teacher until my youngest was born. I have now been blessed with the opportunity to teach my two girls at home. I use stamping as a hobby or way to escape.

My first creation uses the new Tea Time Stamp set and Coordinating Tea Pot and Roses Die to create a Tea Pouch Gift Card Holder.  The cover of the project has the tea pot colored with copics, cut out with the coordinating die and mounted on the Flourishy Frame die.



The Flourishy Frame is mounted on a rectangular panel using the Pierced Rectangles dies, Rectangles Dies, and the Cozy Comfort Quilt Collection dp.  The embossed peach background is framed with a silver metallic paper cut from the Flourished Star Pattern.

The design of this tea pouch gift card holder is my own.  It is not using a tutorial or someone elses idea.  Again the dp is from the Cozy Quilt Paper Collection.  The sentiment is from the Tea Time stamp set and is cut out with the Pierced Rectangles dies.  It is then mounted on a rectangle cut from the Lavish Layer dies.

Tea Pouch Gift Card Recipe:
ODBD Stamps: Tea Time
ODBD Dies Used:  Lavish Layer dies, Pierced Rectangles dies, Rectangles Dies, Flourished Star Pattern, Flourishy Frame die, Tea Pot and Roses Die
ODBD Paper Used: Cozy Quilt Paper Collection

My second creation is a matching card created with the Tea Time Stamp set and Coordinating Tea Pot and Roses Die.  I just loved coloring this image!!!  The image is layered on an oval created with the Pierced Ovals and the Majestic Medallion dies.
    The rectangular frame is created with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, Lavish Layers dies, and Cozy Quilt Paper Collection.

Hello, Friends!! August is now upon us and the Bread Basket at ODBD is kicking off the month with another fun relief!!  You will want to see all the inspiration from the team and have a chance to win!!

Here is my first creation using Boho Paisley Background  and the Boho Faith stamp sets as well as the Boho Background die, Stitched Ovals dies, Faith, Hope and Love dies, and Ovals die from this month's new release and the Birds and Nest dies, Fancy Foliage, and Butterfly and Bugs stampset and Butterfly and Bugs dies, and Mini Tags dies from prior releases.

I had a blast creating this card using the embossing resist technique for my background.  I embossed the stamped background in holographic glitter and inked it up with almost Amethyst.  I am unsure if you can see the sparkle or not in this photo, but boy does this card shimmer!!  To create the open oval, I die cut an oval using the new ovals dies on the boho background die.  The leaves, foliage, and butterflies were colored with copics. The sentiment is from the Boho Faith stamp set.

My second creation is created with the Boho Blessings stamp set, Boho Background die, Stitched Ovals dies, Ovals dies from the new release and the Fancy Fritillary, Fence die, Mini Tags and Grass Border previously released. The background behind the boho background is a cherry pink cardstock embossed with a Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder.  The butterfly is in the Boho Blessings stamp set and it coordinates with the previously released Fancy Fritillary!! It cuts out the butterfly beautifully and coordinates with the decorative part of the die set as well making the perfect 3d butterfly!!

The dp is from the ODBD Blushing Rose Collection.  The side of the card is created using the square from the Layered Lacey Squares die.

My second creation is a reverse gatefold I created (my own design) using the April Showers stamp set, umbrella die, and the Layered lacey Squares.  The designer paper is from the ODBD Shabby Rose Collection, except for the umbrella which uses some scraps.
