To make the base for the basket I used Spellbinders Hexagon Petal Envelope. Using the Grand Calibur I die cut and embossed the envelope in black cardstock and glued sides together with a small cardstock circle to form the basket. For the handle I cut a 3/4" x 10" piece of black cardstock and attached to basket. To see more pictures and details on how to make a basket with this die go HERE.
I used my electronic cutter and Fall Applique Digital Cut SVG File to cut the pumpkins and leaves in green and orange cardstock but you can also fussy cut all the pieces after stamping.
After cutting all the pieces I stamped the pumpkins and leaves with black ink. I attached the pumpkins to basket sides and the leaves to the handle and basket base as pictured.
I stamped sentiment on a smaller pumpkin, attached to ribbon and wrapped around candy bag.

Supplies:
