Cards with the May Debate team

Hi everyone, good morning! I have some cards to share today that I made for the Paper Bakery using the May Debate Team Scrapbook Kit.  I love the variety of patterned paper and cute embellishments in this kit, and just knew right away that I would want to use them on a card.

Hello card

To create this card I cut paper strips and then adhered them in a diagonal fashion.  I added the adorable Switchboard puffy stickers that are included in the kit, and my card was made in a snap.

To create my second card, I also used strips, but this time I adhered them in a horizontal pattern.




Hello Friend card

To create the heart background I used the May cut files, and resized the heart background before cutting it to fit my card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today, I really loved playing with this kit and I know you will too.  Stop by the store to pick up your May Debate Team Scrapbook kit today.  Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your day!
