Paper Pumpkin have outdone themselves for their 6th Birthday celebration with these adorable pop up cards, but of course I had to make some alternates for my BYOPP (Bring Your Own Paper Pumpkin) class. I cut up one of the blue polka dotted card bases, one of the pop up insides with the presents and 2 envelopes. After popping all the die cuts out i trimmed a few of the edges and added them to my presents like ribbon and to the bottom of my sentiment tag.

3 Presents, cut to desired size (You can get 6 from one card insert)
Some trim from around the edges of your die cuts for presents and sentiment.
