Question Paper Pumpkin Boxes

So, what do you do with your Paper Pumpkin boxes? I'm spending the day working on my backlog of PP., and I should have four or five boxes now.
Do you
A. Just store the stamps and ink spots that came in the kit in them?
B. Store cards in them?
C. Recycle them?
D. Have another great use for them? Please tell us!

I'm racking my brain to think of what they would be good for!

I turn my empty ones inside out and use them for mailing sets or inks that I sell. Very sturdy and free! If it's a kit that I'm saving until later, I write on the box what it is and what it can be used for.

I haven't used up an entire kit, I think I'm scared too (getting since Jan '15)! I currently write the month and small description on the box to store away. When I'm in a pinch I can go to a box and make a quick card. I'm going to have to start using them up because they add up quickly.
I love my paper pumpkin, I think one of my favorite things because I'm always getting something new!

I just recycle mine. I put the remains of each kit in its on ziplock bag and store those in a basket. My pile of boxes was getting way too big. I may have to save the next couple - turning them inside out for mailing is a great idea!

1) I turn the box inside out (you can put wrapping paper to pretty the insides up) and use it to gift card sets. You can easily place a dozen finished cards in there.
2) The stamps are stored in a plastic Avery Elle sleeve. You can find PDF's for the inserts made by some other generous crafter.
3) The extras are stored together in a ziplock baggy.
