April’s Paper Pumpkin was pretty fun to make. It has 5 different card styles and a box to put them in. You can also cut these small 3″ x 6″ card bases in half and use on regular size card bases. You could also attach one of the envelopes to a regular card base with one of the small cards inside or even just a 3″ x 3″ piece of stamped cardstock inside. There are lots of possibilities with this month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit.

~Repeat with the other end.

~Slide the Box Cover over the box.
~You can now give this as a gift or save to use the cards and attach them to gifts or just give to someone needing to feel you care for them.
