Today, I am featuring cards I created using the Oak Leaf die and stencil. To be honest, I made a bunch of these leaves and played around with different colors and techniques to get a realistic looking leaf. The stencils are so cool!

For my first card, I wanted it to have a unique opening. I created a side folding A2 card and then removed half of the front panel (2 1/8″). I adhered the leaf so the stem lined up in the center.

I die cut a cream colored leaf as well as a green leaf (to match the card base). I adhered the green leaf to the back of the front panel being sure to line it up with the leaf on the front.

Next, I lined up the cream colored leaf with the other leaves. I added glue to the back of it and shut my card. This way the leaves were all in the same place. I stamped the sentiment which is from the brand new Woodland Friends stamp set. Then, I added a smaller leaf (Etched Oak Leaves die set).

I love how this Fall card turned out!

I also made another card featuring the Oak Leaf die and stencil.

To start, I used the Cedar Sprigs embossing folder on brown cardstock. For the front of the card, I decided I would create a pile of leaves. I used two of the larger Oak Leafs and a few of the Etched Oak Leaves in varying colors. I added a birthday sentiment because I always need birthday cards.
