Oak Leaf and Acorn Template

With just a few simple supplies, you can make a wonderful Fall Hostess Gift for Thanksgiving. A set of 5 hand stamped notecards, along with the original carved stamp (made by you).
It's the gift that will keep on giving and your thoughtfulness and creativity will be appreciated for many seasons to come.




Supplies you will need:
  • One hi-polymer white eraser such as Pentel brand. I purchased a package of 3 for under $1.50. You can usually find them in the school supply section of Walmart or Fred Meyer.
  • Speedball carving tool with a #1 tip. About $8.00 at any arts and crafts supply store.
  • Blank notecards
  • #2 Pencil
  • Stamping pad in a Fall Color of your choice.
  • Leaf template - click here for my Free Oak Leaf Template and complete carving instructions.


The variety of Fall designs are limited only by your imagination. How about an Acorn? For a limted time click here and you'll get both my Oak leaf AND Acorn templates with complete carving instructions FOR FREE!

  1. I was looking for in expensive stamps and came across yours. I sure am going to try this.
    Have been looking for a Menorah for Hanukah but so far have no luck. It is hard finding inexpensive stamps and would love to make my own. I will try this.
    Thanks for sharing.
