The January 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit has all the supplies to create 24 fun pillow box treat holders!
The images in the kit are adorable and coordinate with the Animal Expedition suite in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.
I altered my pillow boxes to add a personalized message which is pulled from the Kangaroo pouch. 
They are fun to make and can be personalized for Valentines, Birthdays, Invitations or any message you would like.
For the Valentines Pillow Box I found a Valentines message online that seems to work perfect for this project: “Love is a circle, round and round, love goes up, and love goes down, Love is on the inside, trying to get out, love is whirling and twirling about!”

For the Shower Pillow Box text reads: “You are invited to Katie’s Baby Shower Sunday, March 24th at 1:00 PM at her home”
For the Happy Birthday text reads: “Happy Birthday to You Happy Birthday to You Happy Birthday dear <name> Happy Birthday to You”

Hi, Terri – This was a terrific “Altered PP” project! As I watched you the 2nd time with the kangaroo and the trimmer, it occurred to me that all you need to do is make the slit with a crafting knife, apply the tear and tape, adhere to the pocket, and cut again through the slit and simultaneously, through the pocket. No need for all that fuss with the trimmer. The sentiment strip is to die for – thank you so much!
Thank you very much Linda, I’m so glad you like the altered project. Yes, you can use a craft/hobby blade/knife. I actually used a hobby blade to cut the first one I made and found it easier for me to cut a straight line with the trimmer, plus a bit safer. I try to avoid hobby/craft blades for safety reason 🙂
