12 Days of Christmas - Day 3 - I Love Math Challenge #18

 

Hello everyone and welcome to 3rd Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series and a new I Love Math Challenge! :o)

This is our eighteenth challenge. If you're new to my blog, you can find all about the challenge here.

Yes, this challenge should start earlier this month, but it wasn't possible for me to prepare everything earlier, so it's starting today.

My AMAZING Designers Collaborators are on a break from this challenge, to take a well deserved rest from everything at the end of this year. :o)

IMPORTANT: This challenge will last only one month.

I picked a theme for this challenge and it's Christmas/Winter MATH Project.

Christmas/Winter Themed any kind of project: card, layout, box, mixed media... Project must have visible mathematical element/elements: numbers, shapes, lines, formulas, spirals... it can be a box... it can be inspired by some mathematician... There are infinite possibilities. :o)

And here is my take on the challenge: Sour Cream Container Christmas Gift Box . :o)

To make this Christmas Gift Box, I was inspired with a project I created last year: Sour Cream Containers Advent Calendar.

My math elements are:

• sour cream container box - geometric solid: tetrahedron (a triangular pyramid)
• embellishments - geometric shape: circle

How I made this Christmas Gift Box... 

First I folded the container. I found great photo tutorial here.

I used 3" x 6" patterned paper and folded a cream container following the tutorial. I left one side of the container unglued and open to fill it later.

I glued a sticker on a white cardstock paper scrap, cut out the circle, glued 3-D foams on the back of the circle and embellished the container with it.

On the unglued part, I pierced a hole with a crafting needle, placed a decorative brad through the hole and my gift box was finished.

Really easy and fun to make. It's a cute way to give a tiny gift to someone. It can be filled with treats, cookie, puzzles... :o)

List of supplies:

• Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper Pad
• white cardstock paper
• Christmas sticker (bought at the local store DM)
• decorative brad
• double sided adhesive tape
• 3-D square foam 5 x 5 x 2 mm
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• scissors
• crafting needle

Now it's your turn...

Create a Christmas/Winter Themed any kind of project: card, layout, box, mixed media... Project must have visible mathematical element/elements: numbers, shapes, lines, formulas, spirals... it can be a box... it can be inspired by some mathematician... There are infinite possibilities. :o)

Sour Cream Containers Advent Calendar (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Happy Friday! :o)

I hope you're all well. Another busy week and I didn't find any time to write here on my blog. Today I'll be sharing two projects with you, both my DT spotlights for Jane's Doodles, one for last week and other for today. I'll be sharing my projects in two separate blog posts. :o)


On Wednesday, December 4th, 2019, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Sour Cream Containers Advent Calendar. :o)

I made this Advent Calendar for my nieces. They were thrilled. :o)

To make this Advent Calendar I used patterned paper and adorable numeral stamps from Jane's Doodles 'ABC's' stamp set.



How I made this Advent Calendar... 

First I folded containers. I found great photo tutorial here.

I used 3" x 6" paper and folded 24 sour cream containers following the tutorial. I left one side of each container unglued and open to fill them later.

After folding, I filled containers, each with two same chocolate candies, glued opened part and "closed" containers.

Then I worked on numerals. I die cut circles in from white and a Kraft cardstock paper. I stamped numbers from 1 to 24 on each circle, using Kraft color ink pad. Lastly, I glued numbered circles on each container and my project was finished. :o)

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'ABC's' stamp set
• Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper Pad
• white cardstock paper
• Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Coloring Card
• UHU liquid glue
• double sided adhesive tape
• Sizzix Big Shot
• My Favorite Things, Die-namics Wonky Stitched Circle STAX
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• acrylic block 102 mm x 102 mm
• scissors

Happy Reindeer Chocolate/Candy Dispenser Box (Fairy Tale Challenge #182)

Happy Friday! :o)

I hope you're all great.

This Tuesday, December 5th, a new challenge has started over at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog. I didn't have time to share my project earlier.

Our theme for this fortnight is #182, Schokolade / Chocolate. Share a chocolate recipe, make pralines, wrap a chocolate, use an image fitting the theme.... ANYTHING!! There must be chocolate. :o)

This time our lucky winner will win this lovely mini flower bouquet stamp set.

And here is my take on the challenge: Happy Reindeer Chocolate/Candy Dispenser Box.

To make this project, I followed a tutorial by Sandie of The Paper Cave, which is shared on Stamping Bella blog. When I saw Sandie's ADORABLE box, I knew I have to make one for myself. :o)

When I finished the box and closed it, a lid didn't fit well, so I had to make a new one, slightly larger than the first one. I cut a piece of cardstock paper measuring 4 5/8" x 4 5/8" and followed steps from the tutorial. I also extended patterned paper cutouts for the lid.

For the door knob I used plastic snowflake and a brad I had in my stash. The snowflake had some glitter on it, which I didn't like, neither it fitted on my project. I tried to scratch glitter off with the scissors... It worked!!! Completely white, no glitter on it. Happiness overload!! :o) I glued the snowflake and the brad together (I used Loctite Super Gel to glue metal and plastic together) and got pretty door knob. :o)

Next up was an image.

I used an ADORABLE reindeer from Mama Elephant 'Reindeer Games' stamp set.

Image is paper pieced. I stamped the reindeer on a watercolor paper, colored him in watercolor technique with Distress Ink. Then I stamped reindeer's collar on the patterned paper, same I used for the box. I fussy cut both pieces, colored edges with black marker and glued them together. Watercolor paper I use is great and I love it, but it's not thick, so I stamped another reindeer on a white cardstock paper. I colored the reindeer completely with black marker and fussy cut him, leaving white border around him. Lastly I glued two pieces together, glued some foam on the back and placed the reindeer on the box. :o)

I wanted to keep my box as simple as possible, so I didn't add any other embellishments. Also, I love the patterned paper I used and for me it's enough. :o)

Lastly I filled the box with chocolate minis. :o)

List of supplies:

• Mama Elephant 'Reindeer Games' stamp set
• Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper Pad
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)

Sledging Card (Fairy Tale Challenge #155)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today a new challenge started at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

Our theme for this fortnight is #155, Sketch.

I created this sketch based on a card I made a while ago. You can find it here and two more cards based on the same sketch, here and here.

This time our lucky winner will win this embossing stencil by Marianne Design.

And here is my take on the sketch: Sledging Card. :o)

I used my favorite Winter themed design paper, Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas Designer Paper, and beautiful LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Polka Dot Pals Gary' digital stamp. I got this image for free as a Guest Designer over at Little Miss Muffet Challenges Blog. Thank you Barbara! :o)

First I decided about the color scheme and what background will I use. I decided to go with same paper for background and to use some paper piecing. I'm so satisfied with snowy scene I got here. :o)

I cut out all parts from the design paper and a white cardstock.

I printed the image twice. One image on the designer paper and second on a watercolor paper. I colored the image in watercolor technique using Distress Inks, fussy cut it out, colored edges with black marker, softened image with stylus ball and glued it over the other image printed on the designer paper.

Lastly I glued all pieces together and glued them on a white top folded card base. I also glued one white cardstock square inside of the card to make it thicker and more stable when standing. I added some white highlights to the image and my card was finished. :o)

Dimensions: 108 mm x 139 mm (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")

List of supplies:

• LMM's Forgoten Scraps 'Polka Dot Pals Gary' digital stamp
