No Tricks just Treats - The House that Stamps Built

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is no tricks just treats which can be a Halloween card or a treat holder.  I choose to go with a treat holder. 


I have a die that I never have used before NBUS (never before used stuff), so I cut it out of Kraft paper to resemble a shopping bag (note the pinked edges at the top).  O then paper pieced  524-I Prized Pumpkin and die cut a leaf using the same paper, I then stamped 6512-E Everyday Blessings, on the leaf and stapled it on the handle using a tiny staple.  Tied a tiny orange ribbon bow on the other handle.  This is going in the mail today to my chemo buddy, her Halloween package which includes an assortment of Belgian chocolate pumpkins (Aldis), and a pair of pumpkin socks which fit nicely in the paper bag.  I think I will be making more of this bag for Christmas goodies.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of No Tricks just Treats. So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps. using the challenge of No Tricks just Treats.    
If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.
