I stamped the leaves in Soft Suede using the leaf outline from the 2-step stamp set. Then I stamped with More Mustard as the second step of the Gently Falling stamp set. Then I used a sponge dauber and ink from the Cajun Craze ink pad around the edges of each leaf. I tried edging the leaf two different ways. First I sponged the edges before cutting out the leaf. Then I tried it where I cut out the leaf and then held the leaf in my hand to sponge the edges. Both worked equally well and gave about the same results. Then, after cutting out each leaf, I used my bone folders and slightly curled the edges of the leaf to give them even more dimension. It made the leaves look much more life-like, in my opinion. I added one of the Spice Cake designer Buttons in the fun jumbo size. There were so many sentiments that would look good on this card. "Grateful" form Always Thankful, or "Give Thanks" from Hand-Penned Holidays. I used Thank You from the Perfectly Penned sentiment set.
Here's the recipe for this card:

I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool from the Holiday Mini Catalog and pleated my topper at 1/4". I grabbed 5 punches--including my largest circle punches and scalloped circle punches--and quickly formed the center base to showcase the Jumbo Spice Cake Designer Button.
On the sides of the box I layered Soft Suede, Pool Party and and Very Vanilla. I used more leaves from the Gently Falling stamp set and added a label and sentiment to the front of the boxes. These boxes are less that $1 each and come in a four-pack.
