Here is a card that I created for someone on Ebay. I used a digi stamp freebie from Dawn Moore. Isn't he cute! I had a hard time coming up with a sentiment, but then I was reminded of that song by 50 Cent that says "I love you like a fat kid loves cake". So that is where my inspiration came from.
They were all made using My Mind's Eye Card bases.
This one has Anya & Ian from the Greeting Farm. The inside says "after all these years. Happy Anniversary!"
This is a digi from Dusin Pike. The inside says: "Thank you for 'bear'ing with me all these years! Happy Anniversary".
This is another Anya & Ian stamp from the Greeting Farm. The inside says: "for many years more. Happy Anniversary".
I first printed the stamp, colored it with my Bic Mark Its, then I hit it with the blow dryer to set the inks so the glue wouldn't smudge them. I cut my patterned paper to fit the clipboard, then I took a 2" paint brush and swiped a thin layer of glue over one side of the clipboard. Once it was evenly covered, I placed my first sheet of paper on it. I made sure it covered all sides and then smoothed it out (make sure there are no bubbles). I also cut a 2" piece of fushia paper to go acoss the bottom. I wanted the letters to stand out more. I should also mention that I let each layer of glue dry before moving on to the next layer. I also put an extra layer of glue across the letters at the bottom, just in case they try to peel over time. I put decoupage over all surfaces of the paper to make it waterproof, however this is not necessary. If you prefer to be able to feel the texture of the paper, you can skip this step. But it will probably last longer and be more durable if coated in a layer of glue. 
I should mention as well, I figured out a little trick on my own today for how to attach this ribbon to the card. As you can see the ribbon disappears on the left side of the card. I used my Exacto blade to cut a slit in the fold of the card. That way I had no loose ends, I could slide it inside and hide it. And you can see below how it comes inside and I've tucked it under the cardstock.
Look what I got! My first blog award! My friend Kris gave it to me! Isn't she sweet?! Thank you Kris!
This 3-D flower was created using a flower that I had created for an earlier blog post freebie. It is the flower on the pedastel, without the pedastel of course. To make it 3-D I just used the dull side of my Exacto blade and made a bend in each petal. Then I glued them one on top of the other and added a gem. Easy as pie! To create a bunch of these cute flowers at one time, I've included a SCUT file as this week's freebie. There are two files. One is to be printed on patterned paper and the other on solid cardstock. It will make about 32 flowers. I just cut them out, then put them all in a ziplock bag, then while I'm sitting watching tv, I grab the bag, my exacto blade and glue and start assembling. A tip when glueing them together, use the opposite end of your exacto pen (or a pencil eraser) to push down in the center of each layer to glue them together. I find that putting it on a mouse pad or a couch cushion (as is the case while watching tv) it helps to keep the 3D effect when pushing with the eraser or end of the exacto pen.

I got creative with my Microsoft Publisher and created this cute sentiment for the card. I saved it as a jpeg so that you can download it and use it on a card if you like. Time Spent with Friends
The inside of the card says: "Wishing two wonderful people, one wonderful life. Congratulations to the happy couple".
It is hard to tell, but most of the card is 3-D. The Happy Bday banner is a sticker.
The gas can was a from a coloring page image that I found on Google. The story below was 100% made up by me, but if you'd like to use it, you're welcome to it! 
The reason I told a story was because I could not seem to come up with the appropriate caption. My husband is very much a pyromaniac. Everytime we go camping, he thinks he needs to put some lighter fluid or gasoline on the fire before lighting it. Which 99% of the time is totally unnecessary. So it is a joke in our family. 
This was a stamp that I printed and colored and didn't have room for on the front, but it was so cute I had to use it. So I just put it on the back for a little something extra.
The recycled portion of the card is the lace along the bottom. I attached it using double stick tape. It is recycled because I got it from a local thrift store. It was someone else's cast off and I knew it had potential! I should also mention that the card base is by My Mind's Eye. 
This beautiful swirly background is also a part of the same card kit I mentioned before. I just added some green chalk to it and traced the swirls with a green colored pencil. The stickers are by Special Moments (@ Dollar Tree).
If you've never tried a card kit or a digital stamp, go to Lindsay's blog to get a freebie so you can try before you buy! I should also mention that Lindsay is offering a bargain in the month of June. For every $10 you spend in the store, you get a free card kit! Not to mention, by purchasing items in LSS, the Shophandmade website pledges to protect 25 sq feet of rainforest for every purchase made at any of the stores in the network to offset the pollution done by shipping and since there is no shipping with the digistuff (it's all emailed) it's like being extra green!
