Supplies

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Using a paper trimmer, cut the cardstock into 2-inch (5 cm) strips, slightly wider than the leaf stamps.

2. Use ink colors that coordinate with your cardstock to stamp different leaf designs in a line onto the lighter side of the cardstock strips. Be sure to leave some space between each one!

3. Punch out the stamped leaves using the leaf punch. Crumple the leaves gently and unfold them. This is a great way to add some texture to your craft!
