Thank you berry much card made using the Preserves cartridge

Hello, everyone!

 Today I have a quick, but cute card that I made using the Preserves cartridge. This one is an oldie, but goodie! I love this cartridge and think about it more around the spring time.

I used Close To My Heart cardstock and Bo Bunny double dot paper.
I cut the strawberries out at 3 1/2".
I used a cuttlebug folder to give the card a little something extra.

 Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget about this weeks stamp giveaway. I will send out 10 stamp sets to one lucky winner!
