This new collection is using paper, dies and stamps by Graphic 45, their new Lil Darlings collection. (However the background paper on the left is by Nicole Crafts).  Ribbon on left from the dollar bin and flower by Offray.  

 The compass rose stamp on these cards is a wooden stamp by rubbersole.com.  The wave border punch is by EK Success and the pretty black and tan ribbon is from the dollar bin.  Remaining embellishments by K&Co.

I used Cuttlebug's Swirl embossing folder here and highlighted it with silver ink.  Unfortunately the name of the seashell paper was cut off so I can't give credit there.  The rest is by K&Co.

 I used the Sizzix Post Card embossing folder on this K&Co embellished card along with a border punch by EK Success that I used on cork paper.

 This pretty brown and blue ribbon is by American Crafts and I used Cuttlebug's Seashell embossing folder on the background paper for this K&Co embellished card.

In this next series of cards using the new K&Co collection I incorporated a tag that can be used as a bookmark.  I tried to place it in such a way so when it's removed, the recipient will still have a pretty card.

 A plain white pedestal I painted

for a plant (the butterscotch and

cinnabar colors match those in my 

livingroom) and a photo my sister

gave me for my 50th birthday (with

a poem overlay she wrote) that I framed

 and embellished.

Background paper by Nicole Crafts, cake by Jolee's Boutique, dollar ribbon, American Crafts silver glitter paper, Spellbinders Scalloped Heart.  The flower dies are also by Spellbinders which I embossed then colored with a purple glitter pen.  I sprayed it with adhesive spray so it wouldn't smear since the paper was shiny.

I enjoyed making these 2 cards using paper from My Minds Eye Paris Collection.  The dogwood is by K&Co., cakes & bell by Jolee's Boutique, rings and bride & groom by Sizzlits. Heart cut with Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts.

Hoping for some June weddings!

I used stickers from Jolee's Boutique

for these.  The background papers

are by Nicole and the ribbon was from

the dollar bin.  The striped gold &

white paper used for the heart is by 

American Crafts and the heart was

cut using Spellbinders scalloped

hearts.

A couple of Father's Day cards
using the new collection from
K & Company.  I used the Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder  and the EK Success Wave punch on the card on right.  Also, Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals.
