One winner from each participating store will receive the DCP1014 Gift Card Wallet Die Set and the SSC1347 Birthday Gift Perfectly Clear Stamps Set (a $40 retail value).Different stores have set different requirements for contest entry. Please visit Stampendous!’ Blog for more information.

Stampendous' new Scary Carriage image is not quite as charming as Cinderella's carriage. They're both pumpkins that have been transformed into carriages, but that's where the similarity ends.

See for yourself!
