Just a simple little card for when I screw up and forget someone's birthday.  This poor little critter needs help.  Some days I feel just like he looks.  He was a little freebie from Bugaboo stamps.  Boy, I love those freebies.

I needed some thank you cards, so I colored this digi lady from Tiddlyinks.com with my copics.  Mounted her on white paper which I embossed with my cuttlebug and then tinted the embossed design with soft pink chalk.  I also added a little grass and flowers to the base of the image.  I mounted the entire image on a darker lavender color paper.   I added a few tiny black onyx dots to a few of the flowers.

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!
