Anyway... Back to what you're here for today! 

Today I chose to feature the Heartfelt Blooms stamp that is free with a $50 (USD) purchase or more! I chose this one because it's simply gorgeous and it flowed well with my "all things rustic" touch I seem to always gear myself towards. It took me maybe an hour from start to finish to complete these 3 cards! It doesn't get much quicker than that! The stamp set comes with three different sentiments, so making this about a trio of cards was an easy decision.

Here's a closer look at each card and the measurements and colors use. 

This card took the longest to make because of the scalloped edges and having to make sure the measurements were just right, but it's my "elegant" card of the bunch with the Gold Glimmer Paper and the Gold Embossing Powder.

Card Front

Night of Navy Base (A2)

Whisper White (5" wide)

Gold Glimmer Paper (5" wide)

Note that the Whisper White and Gold Glimmer papers should total 3.5" wide. I scalloped my edges, lined them up then cut the paper to size. But don't adhere them permanently together yet. You need to stamp the Whisper White before doing so.

Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon

Heat Tool

Versamark

Gold Stampin' Embossing Powder

Inside

Whisper White (5.25" x 4")

For this card I used:

Card Front:

Crumb Cake Base (A2) I stamped the sentiment on the base in random places with Crumb Cake Ink

Night of Navy Layer (4.25" x 3.25")

Wood Textures DSP (I used the white wash sheet cut to 4" x 3")

2" Circle Punch

Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon

Inside

Whisper White (5.25" x 4")

And last but not least:

Card Front

Night of Navy Base (4.25" x 5.5") I embossed the whole card front with Softly Falling Embossing Folder

Wood Texture DSP (4" x 3") 

Calypso Coral ink

Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon

Inside

Whisper White (5.25" x 4") I off stamped the corners of the inside with Calypso Coral
