Cottage Wreaths Double Step

This month, the theme is a Color Challenge. Using Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow, the Design Team has created some great projects that you will all want to see. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

What a beautiful color combination for Fall. I love making Double Step cards. The Cottage Wreaths Bundle is so versatile, I know I’ll be keeping it in my collection. You can see all the supplies I used and click on the pictures at the end of this post to order from my online store.

Here’s a video from the past with the directions to make this type of fun fold card.

Measurements

Card Base 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” Mossy Meadow
Side Layers (2) Mango Melody 7/8” x 3-1/8”, (2) Very Vanilla ¾” x 3” embossed with Leaf Fall embossing folder
Center Layers Mango Melody 3-1/8” x 3-1/8”, Very Vanilla 3” x 3” embossed with Leaf Fall embossing folder

Directions to make a Double Step Card Base

Cut Cardstock (CS) at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” (14.9cm x 21cm)
scored at 4-1/4” (10.5cm).
Using Trimmer, with short side of CS at the top, put left edge of CS at 1”
(2.5cm) and cut from 3-1/4” (8cm) down to 7-1/2” (18.5cm). Turn CS over
and keep the same short side at the top. Cut on this side the same as you
just did, so you end up with two parallel cuts.
Turn the CS so the long side of CS is at the top and the cut lines are
toward the right. Put the left edge of CS at 3-1/4” (10.5cm) and using score
blade, score down to 1” (2.5cm). Shift left edge of CS over to 6-1/2” (16cm)
and score down to 1” (2.5cm). Shift left edge of CS over to 7-1/2” (18.5cm)
and score down to 1” (2.5cm). Turn CS over so the other long side is at the
top and repeat the directions scoring as you just did on the other side.
Keep the long side of CS at the top and put the left edge of CS at 4-1/4”
(10.5cm) and score from 1” (2.5cm) down to 4-1/2” (12.4cm).

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on November 9th when the theme will be Home for the Holidays.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I love making fun fold cards and this one is super easy. I received a swap at Backstage Leadership in New Orleans from my friend, Diane Evans, who made a similar card. I liked it so much that I figured out how to make it in both inches and metric and have given you all the details below.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0119 is Farmer’s Day which is October 12th. I grew up on a Hobby Farm in eastern Iowa between Davenport and Muscatine. We had 10 acres, cows, rabbits, dogs, tractors, hay fields, a big vegetable garden, etc. It was a great place to grow up! As kids, we were responsible for feeding the animals. I also enjoyed riding on the mower behind the big tractor helping my Dad mow the ditches. I was in 4-H for nine years and learned many life skills, showed steers at the county fair and learned to be a hard worker. Did you grow up on a farm? I’d love to hear about it.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used farm animal, gingham, green, kraft card.

I really like how this card turned out. It’s certainly #bright&happy! Because of the way this card is made, I’ll have to write on the back of it.

Card Details:

clouds-Give it a Whirls dies, Balmy Blue CS
bow- Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon
stone wall- 1-1/4″ front flap, Stampin’ Blends- Smoky Slate
farm animals- Stampin’ Blends- Petal Pink, Soft Suede
birds- Stampin’ Blends- Real Red, Daffodil Delight
stamped grass inside the card- Oceanfront stamp set
cardstock grass inside the card- Gingham embossing folder

You can see all the products I used to make this card and order from my online store at the bottom of this post.

Don’t miss the pictures and family story farther down in the post.

Sean’s wife, Amy, was so excited to be in Iowa in September. She really wanted to experience a Corn Maze, Apple Orchard, Pumpkin Patch and Sunflower Field. Steve, Sean, Amy and I spent the afternoon on Sunday at the Center Grove Orchard in Cambridge, Iowa. It’s about 30 minutes from our house and had all of the activities Amy wanted plus more. Here’s Amy looking adorable in her overalls and pig tails on a pink tractor in the Sun Flower Field.

Sean and Amy picked several varieties of apples from the trees.

This was actually a difficult corn maze. See that brochure in Sean’s hand? He thought it just a list of the farm’s activities. When they started wondering how they would make it out of the corn maze, Sean noticed there was a little map of the corn maze in the brochure. That made all the difference and they made it out of the maze easily.

Sean and Amy headed back to Texas yesterday. What a blessing that they both can work from home and got to spend three weeks “working from home” in Iowa with us. We really enjoyed having them here! Excited to see them again when they will be back for ten days for Thanksgiving and Ryan and Bree’s wedding. Have I told you our second son is engaged and getting married? Two weddings in five months! It’s been a fun year for the McCullough’s as we have added two wonderful daughters-in-law to our family!

Here’s Ryan and Bree on their engagement day! Amy, Abby and I got to go help Bree find her wedding dress along with her Mom and sister. Her dress is gorgeous, but I can’t show you that until after the wedding weekend. Oh happy day!! 🙂 We are thrilled our two oldest sons have each found their soul mate.
