But it is okay, because inspiration was delivered to my inbox, thanks to Janine Wills, a member of the Stampin' Up Late Night Stampers yahoo group.
Janine stamped and shared the cutest card. A snowman with the opossum (from the retired set Mini Mates) hanging from his very stretched out arms and her sentiment was...
outside: "This Christmas, as always..."
inside: "I love you THIS much".
So so so cute! She mentioned that the inspiration for her card had 2 birds on his arms.
Here is my version - recycling a previous snowman - with Janine's idea and 2 birds on a tag...
This is a BIG old tag so let me show you each side
Left:
buttons from my stash and my sloppy printing
And sorta the right side:
And in case you want to make a tiny cardinal:
blurry photo but you can get the idea:
half a 3/4 inch circle red
half a 1/2 inch circle red sponged with bravo burgundy
half a standard hole punch black
quarter standard hole punch summer sun
I can see using this idea in some form or fashion as a border on the bottom of a scrapbook page. Alas and drats, there is no room on my desk for a sheet of 12x12 paper - MUST clean up before I scrap.

OH MY GOSH Ellen, I have had food stuck in my teeth that was bigger than those bird beaks! LOVE these cards --- and made a few just like 'em. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love this card and had to have my 1st grade Wednesday night kid's group make them. I adapted the inscription to read "Jesus Loves You Snow Much."
I also adapted the red birds to make some somewhat larger ones. I haven't used them yet but plan to make a couple of cards with these little cuties on the front.

I'd love to see the post on which you based your gift tags on if you have the link! Thanks.
