I'm So Sassy by Janet

The Laugh Lines sets from Ai often feature a main character and lots of fun sentiments that are perfect for them. Such is the case for my card today. This is made with the 5517 - Sassy Laugh Lines Set. As I was looking it over I thought to myself that it was too bad I had to limit myself to a sentiment or two as there are 17 total to choose from! Then I remembered that I had a Reveal Wheel Die Set from Lawn Fawn that would allow me to us more. It did the trick! 

I created the card base using the dies and then stamped four of the sentiments into the reveal wheel window. A quick rotation of the wheel displays four different sentiments as shown. I chose to use the "Crazy!?" sentiment at the top as it seemed like a good statement for her. I colored the lady with pastel pinks and lavenders with a little bit of beige for her coat and hat. She's really a hoot as is all of the Laugh Lines characters!

To make the finished panel, I added the fussy cut lady with foam tape. The sentiment window works just perfectly and appears to be a speech bubble for her. I place strips of paper to form a floor and then added a bow and some dimensional stars to create the scene. She certainly thinks she's a star so they are a fitting embellishments! To finish, I glued the panel on a pink shimmer paper rectangle and then to a white A2 card. This sassy lady is ready to strut her stuff!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope my card gives you some ideas of your own. Please visit the store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Have a GREAT Saturday!

Back to the Office by Janet

This fall, many of us are heading back to work sites. Art Impressions has several office themed sets and one that I get a kick out of is called Office Party. You can see from the photo of the set below that there's lots of fun images and sentiments that are perfect for the smart alecks of the office.

I combined the two main images in this set in my card. When I stamped the image with the desk, I masked off the sitting lady. Then I stamped the standing lady, fussy cut her out and placed her in front of the desk. It's great to know you can create a number of looks using techniques like masking. I also colored the standing lady's skirt to look like pants. Specifically I was going for a look of capris which still works perfectly in the early fall of the South where temps still easily reach into the 80's. I placed the sentiment flag cut with the flag double stitched die set to hide the legs and further the illusion of pants instead of a skirt. I used an oval card mat that I've had for a long time. I thought it fit this card well. Then I stamped and colored the notepad and the clipboard to use as accents. 

I created my own background and I was going for cubicle walls. I made the wall a little too high but this was the first time I tried the background so it was a learning exercise. I chose this sentiment because it fits a group of us from work that helped keep each other sane during a pretty insane time. I think it's great that Ai has sets like this one to celebrate and laugh about the work-a-day world even if it's been one weird year!

Happy Creating!
