Carousel Note Card Tote by Kelly A. Swienton

I'm on a roll with these Carousel Notes from the Occasions Mini! Here's how to make this card tote I created today:

Seal envelope shut. Stamp as desired. Measure to 5-1/2" in paper trimmer and cut. Score at 1/2" on the three sides of the envelope that have NOT been cut. You are just making a bagalope here. Bend at scores and shape into bagalope as shown on video. Take Carousel note and score as shown in the video, ensuring you have 11 scallops on each side beyond the score lines. You are scoring on either side of the middle scallop. Attach Carousel Note to Bagalope by skipping one scallop before adhering, so that when you put envelopes in the bagalope with your cards there will be ample room for the top part to close. Finish with a velcro dot to keep top closed. Punch two holes for ribbon with your Cropadile. Finish embellishing as desired. For the inner circle I used the largest circle of my circle Coluzzle template with the DSP. I used my Pick a Petal brass stencil as a guide to poke my holes with the paper piercer and to add the white dots with my white gel pen.
