At the Stampin' Up! Convention Sara Douglas did a demo with July's Paper Pumpkin~ she showed some great ideas and changes to this great kit~

Here is an alternative card using a masking technique

Here is how she did the masking:

She used the sticker sheet that comes in the kit! Using an embossing buddy she took the sticky out of the sticky sheet and then attached it to a piece of window sheet to protect the project so ink would get everywhere! Then using some reinker and a spritzer she applied color~ easy and cute for lots of different projects. 

She did the same thing with her envelope:

She added post it notes to protect her project from over spray!

Here is a cute little gift card box she made using one of the boxes and some of the notecards:

The gift cards are made from the notecards in the kit:

Just cut it in half and trim a little off the bottom!

Here are some samples of the gift cards:
