Geometry Class – 8-22-12

August 22, 2012 vdutchr Current Challenges, Geometry Class, Sketches 3 comments

It’s Sketch Challenge time here at Stamp School! I came up with an easy sketch and a CAS card. I just am happy with clean and simple cards!

Here is the sketch;

And, here is my card;

See the fun button? Quickly, 3 punched circles- glue together, punch 2 holes — holding button with tweezers in the holes (leaves holes open that way) – emboss with clear embossing powder. I absolutely LOVE self made buttons! — So easy to have the exact match in color for anything you make!

Have fun with the sketch! Remember you have until August 31st at 11:59 pm to play along. We’ll pick one winner to get a really great prize package!

Thanks for stopping by~

Hello! Samantha here today with what seems to be a pretty trendy color combo for today’s challenge.

So today’s colors are Orange (Orange Fizz), Turquoiose (Berrylicious or Blue Raspberry), and Brown (Kraft or Hot Fudge). This is a great color combo for masculine cards. I created this one for my nephew’s birthday (he just happened to be turning 7, so I used 7 candles).

Here’s my card:

This was a pretty simple card to put together. The final card measures 6″ x 4″. I stamped the birthday candles from Birthday Icons 3 times on white card stock. Then I colored them with Copic Markers, cut them out, and attached them to the card. I like how they really pop against the kraft background.

We’re adding a submission form below this post. Make up your card and post it on your blog (with a link to our blog of course). Submit your card by adding it below. Make sure to post it to the actual blog post and not just your general blog address. You have until 11:58 on the last day of the month to upload any challenge entries.

We will randomly choose a winner from each month’s submissions to win a prize package from Stamp School.

Hi Vicki here today with the Color Challenge for the month of August.

The colors this month are Purple, Red and Black, with any neutral. Easy enough~ How did I make this card? I inked up my acrylic block, spritz it with water and stamped it on my card stock. I love this effect, you can’t plan how it will work out!
