Happy Thanksgiving! I didn’t use stamps to create the leaves. I used real leaves. That’s right, I collected them on my walk.
I hope that you had a wonderful day with your family and friends and have a lot to be thankful for.
I would like to “Thank” the people that support Nancy Fancy Stamping. I am very blessed to have you in my life.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Fold the Cherry Cobbler CS in half and crease it using the Bone Folder. This is the card base. The fold should be along the top.
- The key to choosing the leaves are to get the ones that have just fell. You want them in good condition, not too dried out and have a lot of veins or character. You are going to flip the leaf over and ink up the vein side. That’s right! Apply the ink directly to the leaf, just as you would do if you were inking up a stamp. If you don’t like the coverage, wipe off the leaf and ink it up again. Lay the inked up leaf on the Cardstock and gently press the entire leaf and then lift up. You’ll repeat this process using Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry and a different leaf for each colour. Photo #2
- Wipe the Embossing Buddy from the Embossing Additions Tool over the stamped Very Vanilla CS. This is to remove the status when using Embossing Powder. Ink up the “thank you” sentiment using the VersaMark Ink and stamp it directly over the leaves. The VersaMark Ink is wet, so the Copper Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder will stick to it. Heat up the Copper Metallic Embossing Powder using the Heat Tool to melt and set the Embossing Powder. Give it a couple of seconds to cool off and then wipe off the Embossing Buddy powder.
- Stick the Very Vanilla CS to the Cherry Cobbler card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
