This was a digi stamp from Bugaboo stamps.  It was a "Friday Freebie" which I thought would make a nice card for an anniversary.  I colored the images with copics, then cut out the bottom part with the words, put the image through my cuttlebug with one of my ovals in the Spellbinders set.  Using Prima paper in the background and Stampin Up Blushing Bride paper, finished it off with brown grosgrain ribbon.  I stamped a small oval with the message from one of the Stampin Up sets. I tinted around the edges of both ovals with Tempting Turquoise ink, and finally highlighted two corners.

Saw a similar little gift bag on michellelast.typepad.co.uk and adapted it to what supplies I had on hand.  I used StampinUp blushing bride for the girls package and crumb cake paper for the boys.  Created the bunny with a little stamp I had and used StampinUp Pocket Silhouettes for the "grass".  The center hole was made using my spellbinder ovals.  I used a little punch to thread the ribbon through both layers of paper.

Lightly colored jelly beans would work very well here also.  I used 11" paper, but someone who wanted to try using 12" paper could make a little longer package.  This makes a cute candy gift for some sweet little children (or big children, too).  Even adults.......

Here's another card using the cute little Bugaboo bear.  I used my copics and then put him on some bright paper, used dark brown paper for the background and added the StampinUp message.  Used a little light and dark brown yarn to add a little depth .  I also popped up the little bear.  Seems like a really laid back dude.

This little guy was a Friday freebie from Bugaboo Stamps.  He could be used with many different salutations.  I cut out an oval on the brown paper, used a lighter tan paper behind him and popped him up along with the little snail to make him stand out.  The message and the punches are from Stampin Up.

I am always looking for a card for a guy.  They are hard to come by.  This digi stamp comes from dudetimedoodles.com.  I like the message.  I cut out the basic image, popped it up on StampinUp paper and then cut around the yellow paper to make it stand out.  This stamp reminds me of my Dad who was sitting in a hammock and fell out, but suprisingly was able to hold on to his ice tea without spilling a drop!

I used all StampinUp materials, except for the ribbon and topaz rhinestone on this card.  I needed to make a sympathy card.  I stamped the "Bordering on Romance" stamp on watercolor paper and then used my watercolor pencils.  The message is from the Petite Pairs set.  I cut out one of the blossoms from the set and used it at the top of the message with a topaz rhinestone in the center of the blossom.
