I can't think of any examples to direct you to, but strumming is fairly simple. In most cases, just strum down on the downbeats and up on the upbeats. Just hold a basic chord and try some stuff out for example:
D D DUD repeat D DU UDU repeat
Becomes second nature in no time. Try listening to the rhythm of some simple songs and match it for more ideas.
