Carousel Notes, take three!

Here's a nice change-up of the old tried-and-true bagalope. I used both the Carousel Note along with its envelope for this fun gift package.

To make the basic package, just seal the envelope and score three sides at 1/2". The cut off the remaining side. Fold the scored sides VERY well & when you open the envelope, it becomes a bag. You can, of course, modify how far in you score your envelope to make it a fatter, shorter bag or a taller, thinner bag.

My topper is the notecard. I scored it twice. I found the middle scallop & scored it on either side (from valley to valley, if that helps). When I stuck it on the top of the bagalope, I realized that the middle scallop hung off & looked like those humongous shoulder pads everyone wore in the 80's, so I cut off the ends. I Crop-a-diled a pair of jumbo eyelets into the top & tied some Chocolate Chip satin ribbon (Theater Originals ribbon assortment, if you're looking) through the holes, and voila! I was done! ...with a little simple stamping thrown in using my beloved Live Your Dreams set... :O)
