I know this is something kind of different for me .. White on White.. but I wanted to give this a try!
But you know me.. it had to have SOME color.. right? SPLASH >>.. Real Red!
This cute Real Red pattern comes from the Fresh Prints Paper stack from the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog, page 33 (#132996)
BELOW: to cut out the hearts, place all of your heart framelits onto your Whisper White cardtock and run it through the Big Shot all at once. You can cut 2 or 3 layers at once too!
3 of the hearts (marked with *) came from my Hearts Collection Framelit package, and the heart in the upper left of the photo was in the Hearts A Flutter framelit package.
After die cutting the 4"x5-1/4" piece of Whisper White with the heart framelits, put Stampin' Dimensionals on the back and layer it onto a piece of patterned paper! That was attached to a folded Whisper White standard size A-2 card.
I stamped Hello Sweet Friend (from Six-Sided Sampler #130953) onto a die cut banner from the Banner Framelits (new in the Occasions catalog, pg 27, #132173) and finished it off with a SWEET little Real Red Brights Candy Dot!
ok.. so then what do you do with the white heart die cuts?
Put them on another card! :)
I embossed the top 2/3 of a 4"x5-1/4" Whisper White panel with the Decorative Dots embossing folder (FREE with your order during Sale a Bration) and the bottom 1/3 with the Arrows Embossing Folder, found on pg 26 in the Occasions catalog.
I stamped on a Word Bubble framelit die cut in Real Red ink.
pssst... is from the Happy Watercolor stamp set
LOVE YOU is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set
I drew a red border around the card with my Real Red Stampin' Write marker and layered the card together with Dimensionals as mentioned above. See this post for tips on drawing a border on your card.

Beautiful Patty! I love what you did with the hearts framelits. But mostly I'm amazed at how you drew that perfect border with your marker! Very impressive!

Thank you for sharing this card! I love them and was so inspired I made 12 of them this afternoon to mail to our church's shut-ins. You have such wonderful ideas and projects.
