I Love Math Challenge News

 


Hi everyone!!

I hope you're all well. :o)

Today I'm bringing some news for I Love Math Challenges.

Due to some life changes, I decided that would be the best to take a short break from I Love Math Challenges here on my blog. My Design Team Collaborators supported me in my decision and we've decided to have only one challenge this year.

Our next I Love Math Challenge #19 will start  on October 7th, 2021, 10 PM, CEST (UTC +2) and it will last for two months, if nothing unexpected occurs, of course.

In year 2022, we will continue with three challenges per year, one every 4 moths, if nothing unexpected comes up.

I'll share my Life Updates blog post here on my blog and share a bit more about my decision with you soon.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy and smile!! :o)

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:


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)

Challenge Starts: December 27th, 2020, 10:00 PM CET (UTC +1)

Challenge Ends: January 27th, 2021, 9:55 PM CET (UTC +1)

I Love Math Challenge #17


Hello everyone and welcome to a new I Love Math Challenge!


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

A theme for this challenge is picked by our dear Željka: NINE.

In this challenge we are creating a Nature themed Card using 9 elements, same or different. Sentiments are counting as one element (words are not counted separately).


A bit about number 9...

Nine (9) is a natural number. It's the highest single-digit number in the decimal system. A group of nine is called an Ennead.

More about number 9: New World Encyclopedia (meaning of number 9), Mystical Numbers (Number 9 - Meaning, Symbolism and Fun Facts).


And now inspiration from the team...

First one is from Željka.


9 = 8 butterflies + 1 sentiment

Beautiful rainbow slimline card. Love the layout and how butterflies overlap. ♥ Jump over to Željka's blog and find more details about her card. :o)


Here is Valentina's take on the challenge.



9 = 8 sea elements + 1 sentiment

GORGEOUS elegant card!!! LOVE!!! ♥ Jump over to Valentina's blog and find more details about her card. :o)


Here is Kaja's take on the challenge.


9 = 3 clouds + 2 mice + 1 ice cream + 1 basket + 1 ant + 1 sentiment

Super cuteness overload!!! ♥ I LOVE Kaja's take on the challenge, her adorable card and a lovely scene. LOVE it!! ♥ Jump over to Kaja's blog and find more details about her card. :o)


Here is Neha's take on the challenge.


9 elements = water, air, fire, earth, sun, wood, thunder, snow and a sentiment

STUNNING!!! Gorgeous elegant design. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! ♥ Jump over to Neha's blog and find more details about her card. :o)


And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Rainbow Snails Card. :o)


9 = 8 rainbow snails + sentiment

How I made my card...

To make this card I used an adorable snail stamp from Stacey Yacula Studio (Purple Onion Designs) and a Purple Onion Designs 'Thank You' sentiment stamp.

First I made a tri-fold card base. I used a white cardstock paper.

I stamped snails and the sentiment on a white cardstock panel, same size as the card base. After an ink dried, I colored snails' bodies with colored pencils. 

Then I colored snails' houses with Distress Inks and a Wink of Stella Clear Brush. I pressed each ink pad on an acrylic block, picked up colors, one by one, with the Wink of Stella Brush and colored snails' houses in rainbow colors.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights with a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)


Card measurements: 172 mm x 83 mm  (6 3/4" x 3 1/4")

List of supplies:
  • Purple Onion Designs, Stacey Yacula Studio 'Garden Bugs' (set of 3)
  • Purple Onion Designs 'Thank You sentiment'
  • white cardstock paper
  • Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
  • TOZ Color Pencils:
    • skin color 
    • pink
  • Stabilo Color Pencil, reddish pink
  • Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
    • Festive Berries
    • Candied Apple
    • Spiced Marmalade
    • Mustard Seed
    • Twisted Citron
    • Salty Ocean
    • Blueprint Sketch
    • Wilted Violet
  • Mitsubishi Uni Pin 0.2
  • Uniball Signo White pigment ink pen
  • ZIG Wink of Stella Brush (Gl. clear 999)
  • Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
  • bone folder
  • round acrylic block
  • pencil
  • eraser
  • ruler


Love the shimmer. :o)
