Preserves Cards with Fruity Sentiments

I am still loving the Preserves Cricut cartridge.  Rather than searching for the perfect stamps with fruit sentiments I made my own on the computer.  I love doing it this way as you can pick the perfect font, size, color and saying to match your card.  More information and basic details below.

All cardstock is from Papertrey Ink, with the exception of the white.  Preserves is the only Cricut cartridge needed.  Extras...ribbon, ink, pens, border punch, embossing & Stickles.

To get the perfect A2 size card cut an 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock in half and fold for the base of your card.  Basic recipe for each card is as follows...
