FCCB Challenge #180 - Fall Is In The Air


This week over at FCCB we have an awesome challenge all about Fall!!!  We want to see your projects that have to do with "Fall is in the Air".  I don't know about you, but when October hits, I get so antsy to do a TON of projects for the rest of the year for fall and all the holidays.  For this challenge I wanted to do something a little different and decided to try out a Double Side Step card.  I looked on YouTube for a tutorial and found a bunch! I just picked one and gave it a go.  I knew I wanted to use the cute scarecrows from Simply Charmed and use my Peachy Keen Stamps for their faces, but that was about it.  Then I remembered on "Just Because" Cards there is a corn stalk image and it all came together!  So my scarecrows are cut at 4", I used Everyday Character Faces from PKS to make the cute faces, some flat back smooth pearls for their overall buttons, and I found some buttons in my stash for their hats.  The back row of corn stalks are cut at 7" and the rest of them are cut at 7 1/2".  I ran the yellow corn through the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and cut some yellow grass from Plantin Schoolbook at 3/4 inch.  The "happy fall" phrase is also from Simply Charmed.  My patterned paper is from All Seasons II 12x12 pack from Hobby Lobby.  I think it turned out pretty cute and it works great as a home decor piece too!  I hope you are able to join us this week at FCCB and link up your projects!!!

Here are the dimensions for the Double Side Step: Paper 7 1/2 x 8 1/2; With the 7 1/2" side at the top of your cutting board, set paper at the 2" mark then cut between 2 1/8" and 7 1/2".  Flip paper over and do the same thing.  Then score between cut lines at 2 1/8", 5 3/8", and 7 1/2".  Score the length of the card at 4 1/4".  I hope that makes sense!!!
