May-June Creative Express Cards
Due to being so behind with my schedule, I am combining
these months on screen!!

double stick tape or glue
pop dots 1/16; 1/8 inch
Instructions:

4. ***NOTE: if you have the one boot on cardstock, cut some of
the back (heel) of the background boot off. Remember that pop dots

the main card.
