Paper Pumpkin included a special gift in this box -- a set of stencils and a stamping sponge -- in celebration of the 8th anniversary of the Paper Pumpkin Launch! Click here to view some tips from Paper Pumpkin on using the stencils. I used the sunburst stencil on this card.

I was inspired by one of the Paper Pumpkin alternative projects featured on the flyer in the box when I created this Bagalope. Have you ever made a Bagalope? It's a small bag created from an envelope. It's super easy! Be sure to watch my video tutorial below to learn how to turn your envelopes into cut treat bags like this one.

I really like all of your alternative cards .... especially the “impossible cards.” I liked the colors of the projects in this kit.
