Here is a card I made using Spellbinders Die Template Harvest Leaves Two (S4-011), Deckled Mega Rectangles SM (S5-014) and Core'dinations "Chocolate Box" Paper.  You can't really see in the picture, but I folded along the embossed lines of the leaves and used mounting squares to adhere.  This really gives a "real" look.  Very easy to make, try and let me see yours.
