Here are two cards I made using this kit:  
 

For these cards I embossed my card base with the embossing folder from the Papercraft Essentials Issue 148 - Sunflower Dreams cover gift and then used gilding wax to emphasise the pattern.  I die cut the flower and leaves from white card and coloured them using my Spectrum Noir Pens.  I could not decide which base card I like best to make one in black and one in white using the same layout but rotating it so you have one vertical and one horizontal layout.  I decided not to add a sentiment to the white card at this stage.

Here are three cards that I made using these stamps.

 I stamped the heart shaped background stamp a number of times using clear Versamark ink and then heat embossed Detailed White embossing powder before adding Wold Honey, Old Paper, Weathered Wood and Worn Lipstick Distress ink.  I the stamped the cake and message using Versafine Black ink and coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir pens.

I used a Sentiment from an old Nina Crafts stamp with the free gift and stamped in Versafine Black ink before the image using my Spectrum Noir pens.

 I used the Creative Embossing Cascading Collection 5x7 Embossing Folder - Sprinkles from Craftstash with Wild Honey Distress Ink for my background and cut a frame using a Sizzix Stephanie Barnard Thinlets Drop-ins die step.  The Apron was coloured using CREATIVE IMAGINATIONS - Luminarte Twinkling h2o watercolours, I am not sure if you can still get these as I have had them since started crafting many years ago.
