I received a Cuttlebug for my birthday this year, and have had a ton of fun with it. Note to self: I should do a tutorial of sorts for this...did you know you can cut out chipboard with the Cuttlebug?...Anyways, I just wanted to share with you a few cards I whipped up real fast with the Cuttlebug.
For this card, I embossed with the Bow Frame EF. I then cut it out so that I could frame it with coloured CS. I added the sentiment, flower and brad, and that's it. It can't get much quicker than that.

Recipe: CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH Vineyard Berry CS, Cuttlebug EF, CTMH black ink, CTMH Say It in Style SS, Prima paper flower.
For this card I actually embossed it directly on the card, you just fold the part you don't want embossed behind the folder. I then sponge daubed the edges, added the sentiment, bird, and coloured the bird with chalk. Voila, done.

This is the inside of the card, sweet and simple.

I preferred the solid CS behind the embossing, so that's what I did here. Again, stamp, colour, and you're done.

This is the inside of the card. Again, simple and sweet.

I hope this has encouraged you to try sweet and simple. It can be just as elegant as a card with lots of things going on.
Enjoy,
