You're Berry-licious Card!

This time of year, there's always so much fruit around and it's all so gorgeous.  I thought a fun fruit card was in order since fruit is on my mind (and in my tummy...LOL!).

Anyway, one of my favorite Cricut cartridges for fruit images is the Cricut Preserves cartridge. It not only has the different fruit images, but also labels, recipe cards, phrases, etc.  The strawberries and the label on the card are both on the cartridge.
I popped up the strawberries to give a little depth to the card.
I cut the berries at 2" and the tag at around 3" (files are available below).
The "You're Berrylicious" stamp is from Jaded Blossom's Feeling Fruity set. Paper is by K&Company. Ribbon by Papertrey Ink.  Card is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July.  We saw the best fireworks (ranked in the top 10 of the nation) on the 3rd and managed to avoid a ton of traffic also.  LOVE it when that happens.

Don't forget we are giving away a Bridal Shower Cartridge this week!

How can you win?

1) Leave a comment below letting me know your favorite fruit.  Mine are blueberries. I like mine in muffins, pancakes, on fruit pizza, in smoothies, etc.  How do you like yours?
2) Subscribe or follow the blog!

That's it!

Winner will be announced Monday, July 9, 2012 and has two weeks to claim prize.  Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Mmmmmmmm pineapples there is now other fruit so delicious and yet such a pain to get to.

Yummy........the strawberries that is! And what a great card. Love the way the strawberries 'pop'.

Momof4inArlington said...

This card just screams summer! It's so bright and cheerful, it puts a smile on my face, (even in this sweltering heat without A/C)!
As for my favorite fruit...that's tough! I LOVE fruits and veggies. But, blueberries have a slight edge where versatility and ease of use are concerned: by the handful, frozen in milk and sprinkled with sugar, muffins and pies, pancakes and pies...oh, my! In yogurt and smoothies, salads and cereals. And, of course, as preserves spread on...Well, you get the picture. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Reesey said...

STRAWBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, AND STRAWBERRIES! Nothing like biting into a big, juicy strawberry right out of the growers field. I think they should weight me before I go in to pick. I might be a pound or two heavier!

Leslie G. said...

Fruity-licious! Hard to pick just one, but for summer I'll pick cantalope! Nature's candy, so sweet it melts in my mouth. I would love to win this cartridge! Very tight budget lately, haven't gotten a new cartridge in about a year! Pick me Pick me! Enjoy the beautiful weather, friends!

Peggywhiz said...

My favorite fruit in the whole world is blueberries and I am fortunate tohave two blueberry bushes in my yard, so every year I pick blueberries. except this year they did not produce due to one new plant and the other one is pretty old, so I headed to the blueberry farm this year and picked 33 lbs of my favorite berry at $2.00 a lb. What a deal.
