Carousel Notes Tri Fold Card

The tutorial this week on Splitcoast Stampers featured a Tri-Fold card. This is a version of that technique using a Carousel Note. This is a lovely presentation for small handwritten notes or other small items such as gift cards. With graduations and weddings coming in this summer, this can be a useful technique. And easy to mail also!

Inks: Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose, Staz-On Black,
Cardstock: Wasabi Carousel Note; Regal Rose, Whisper White Cardstock

Carousel Notes Card

This is another use of the Carousel Notes that I showed at the Spring Retreat last weekend. It uses one-quarter of a Carousel Note to make a pocket on a 4 1/4" square card that can hold a smaller card, a teabag, gift card or whatever else you can fit in it!

This particular one uses the Wild Wasabi Note and Porcelain Prints Designer Paper.

Below are two other views; one with the smaller card out and the other with a teabag in the pocket.

Accessories: Pick-a-Petal Classy Brass Template, Paper Piercing tool, Stylus, Bayou Blue Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon; Scallop, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches.

Live Your Dream with Carousel Notes

Here's one of the items I demo-ed at Retreat last weekend using the Carousel Notes. I laid the Pick-a-Petal Classy Brass Template (you can see a little of it in the lower right-hand corner) over the CN then using my Signo White Gel Pen, I colored in the large holes around the scalloped edge. Without moving the template, I then took a Chocolate Chip Marker (the fine tip) and marked the next row of small holes, which gave a fine dotted border all around.

I cut the Afternoon Tea Designer Paper with the Coluzzle to form the design layer. With the matching flower from the Live Your Dream stamp set, I stamped in Chocolate Chip ink just a little "off" from the matching white pattern in the paper, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for placement. The bottom stripe is the opposite side of the top portion of Designer Paper and the small flowers were added in Chocolate Chip. A piece of Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon with a tie finish off the design.

The Carousel Notes come with 6 1/4" square envelopes (seen in the background above), which are great for adding rub-ons or stamping with white Craft or Staz-On! See another project with the envelopes here.

I enjoyed making a number of projects with the Carousel Notes and discovering some fun possibilities. I'll share more with you soon. Right now I must go get ready for my workshop tonight. : )

Thanks for dropping by! Happy Monday!

Carousel Notes Basket

I've been playing around with the Carousel Notes from the Occasions Mini Catalog and they are so much fun. The possibilities seem to be endless with them! On this project, I used only the gorgeous Chocolate Chip 6 1/4" square envelope to make a version of the bagalope, only this time with a handle. This is a great size for a small gift, treats, candy, jewelry (oh yea, my husband doesn't read my blog, lol!), etc. : )

The Berry Bliss Designer Paper looks so pretty with these envelopes. The paper I selected has little pink stars on it so I quickly went with that theme. It gave me a chance to play with my large and small star punches, the star chipboard and the Chunky glitter from the Occasions mini. Ooo, love it!

Back view:
Stamps: none
Ink: none (I must quit doing that! lol!)

Hope you enjoy! Happy Thursday, everyone!
