Exploring Cricut Challenge #11 ~ Food Frenzy

Welcome to another fun challenge at Exploring Cricut. Thanks for stopping by to check out my project!

Diane's challenge this week..

Food Frenzy... Create a card, layout, or papercraft using any cricut cut of food. (This could include recipes, table decor or anything with food.) Let your imagination go wild!

My grandkids have been busy making mixes to give to family and friends. Somehow they layer stuff like flour, oats and nuts in a jar and when mixed with other ingredients and baked you have a wonderful treat. They gave me an assignment. They are making some sort of bread mix that requires apple butter and they wanted me to make a cute tag they could wrap around the jar. So I pulled out my Cricut and went to work. The base is a piece of 3 x 12 inch kraft card stock with a 2.5 x 12 inch strip of white layered on. I added an additional 3 x 3 kraft tab in the back for this jar so it would fasten. The key to this. You MUST use Scor Tape. It is the only thing I found that will really hold the wrap on! The cuts are all from Preserves.
