It is the only way I paint baseboard. Oh and it only costs something like a $1.

As for the carpet... I'd lay down a drop cloth, get the wide painter's tape, pull the fibers of the carpet back with your hand and lay the tape half on the drop cloth, half on the carpet right up against the edge of the baseboard. You can then try to lay something on the drop cloth where you're painting (a long 2X4?) about a foot away from the wall to try to hold the cloth and keep the carpet pulled away from the wall while it dries. (P.S. placing the painter's tape is easier if you work with shorter pieces, no longer than 2ft, and just overlap it. You can control it better.) Hope it comes along smoothly! Looking good.
