September Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

I made these cute cards to coordinate with the treat boxes from this month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit. They fit perfectly in our 3x3 envelopes and came out so cute!

 
 

Watch the video to see how to make the box and then use pieces and the stamp set from the kit to make the coordinating cards.
