• The Real Red layer is 5 1/4 x 4 and is embossed with one of the Dotty Hearts folders.

• I then added to the heart I had punched with Sweet Talk DSP three little Real Red hearts cut out with one of the Floral Hearts Dies.  To finish, I added three Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centers of the baby hearts.  It made it a whole lot easier to add the glue dots and jewels to the hearts, because I used my Take Your Pick Tool.  Just sayin'

 Grassy Grove, Abstract Beauty DSP & Painted Labels Dies

Grassy Grove is an awesome bundle, and the dies are an added bonus.  I didn't need to use the dies for this card, I wanted to keep it simple. 

I also used a piece of the Abstract Beauty DSP.  There are 48 sheets of 4 x 6 paper in the pack, so think how many beautiful, easy cards one can make with this paper stock.  Just sayin'

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Just Jade scored at 4 1/4.
• The Misty Moonlight layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Abstract Beauty DSP layer is 5 x 3 3/4.  I stamped the trees with Shaded Spruce, and the hills/rocks with Early Espresso.
• I stamped the words with Early Espresso on Basic White and cut this piece out with a Painted Label Die.  I sponged the edges with a little Just Jade ink.
• I cut out another Painted Label die from Misty Moonlight, cut it in half horizontally and glued it to the back of the stamped Basic White, to appear there is a small frame behind the white.  Popped this combo up with dimensionals.  
• All done!!  Now, how easy is that.  And remember to decorate your envelope.

 In the Moment &

 Friendly Hello DSP

• I stamped my sweet, relaxing Sarah with Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the white triangle.  I also stamped the same image on a scrap piece of the Friendly Hello DSP.  I cut out Sarahs pants and top (from the DSP) with my handy-dandy Paper Snips, adhered this to Sarah, and colored the rest of her with Stampin' Blends.  See the link below for all the colors I used.  This technique is called Paper Piecing.  
• I adhered both of the triangles to the embossed Petal Pink with Multipurpose liquid glue.
