Carousel Notes

I've been having so much fun looking through the SCS gallery to get some inspiration for the Carousel Notes. It's amazing what people come up with. But I'm going to start with an easy card:
This card is appr. 3x6 in. I cut a Soft Sky carousel note in half. And used the Soft Sky DP with it and Chocolate Chip cardstock. The stamp is from Short and Sweet.
This little purse is made with a 6x6 envelope (one from the Carousel Notes kit). I covered two Soft Sky carousel notes with DP from Fall Flowers. The stamp is from Heartfelt greetings, I used my scallop punch for the purely pomegranate layer. The ribbon is double stitched purely pomegranate. Cambria Turnbow made an awesome tutorial for this purse.

Here I used Fabulous Flowers and En Francais to decorate the top layer. The Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky and Whisper white make the front and I used my jumbo eyelet to attach them to the carousel note.
You can open it all the way. The colors I used are Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, Purely Pomegranate and Whisper White.

If you didn't guess it already, it's a bib! I made a Chocolate Chip carousel note using a real one as a template. The DP is from Berry Bliss. The stamp is from Nursery Necessities. This idea came from Kelly.
This is a gatefold card. I used two Wild Wasabi notes that I folded in half to make the gate. You slip the belt off to open the card (I didn't think of taking a pictureof it like that too). The colors are Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, Basic Black and Whisper White. The stamps are from a Level 2 hostess set called Spring Solitude and the background stamp Print Pattern. The card is 6x6 in.
Here's a box that I haven't seen anyone else do, so I guess I can say it was my idea! *grin*
I used one of the carousel notes as a template because I wanted a different color. Of course I could have made this a lot fancies but I wanted to give it a try and see if it worked before wasting a bunch of paper on it. This is how I cut and scored the paper:
You can't see it on the picture but there are four flaps, the one down to the left just didn't show. So three scallops on each side of the box. The cs is Bashful Blue and the stamps are from So Many Scallops (SAB set, not longer available) and a level 3 hostess set Time Well Spent.
I haven't posted these in my gallery yet so I don't have the details like I usually do.

Next weekend I'm going to tease you a little bit. I'm going to use a Level 2 hostess set, Infinite Goodness. I just think it's so pretty!
