Simple card Monday - You are berry sweet using Preserves and Garden Variety Cosmo Cricket paper

Hello, everyone!! This is Melanie and I hope you are having a WONDERFUL Monday, so far! Today I have a card and a video for you made with Preserves and Cosmo Cricket paper.


The strawberry is cut at 3 1/2.


The green paper is cut at 5 1/4" x 4".


The polka dotted paper is cut at 5" x 3 3/4" and the strip of strawberry paper is cut at 5 1/2" x 2".


This is the fancier version. I used a border punch and added a strawberry stamp. Not much, but adds just that little bit extra!



Here is the video:




Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure you come back tomorrow to see the awesome layout that Joy has made!

Also, don't forget the huge giveaway we are doing on our own blogs by going here and here.

Have a wonderful day!
