Crimper Day with Jane Norrish

My friend Roz had a Stampin Up Party on Sunday and these are the cards we made with our wonderful Stampin Up demonstrator Jane Norrish  using the Crimper, and we really were dying to try the cupcake punch and matching stamp set. We also tried for the first time the stamps on wheels. Jane showed us the builder wheels, I love trying new things. Now I have an even bigger wish list of stuff I REALLY NEED.

We crimped the bottom half of the envelope after we stamped with the Stampin Up builder wheels and the top then fitted nicely over the bottom crimped section. Jane said I really need to practise my bows , which I will get to and she said the secret is to trim the ribbon in the same direction and it does look so much better. Live and learn. This is the insert that goes inside. Isn't it a great design for a card.

This is the back view,I love these silky smooth Stampin Up envelopes they are so lovely to work with.

Happy blogging

Oriental Star Book

I have taken a lot of classes with Jane Norrish and this was the very fist class I ever did with her and I was so impressed with myself for completing this project before I went home from class as I had never done such a complicated class. Jane made it all so simple and easy to follow and I couldn’t wait to do more classes with her after that. Her main design tip was to use a piercing template for the pages as this was the trick to make the project so neat and we used a book binding thread to secure the project together and even some fancy beading on the seam. We used foils to add some interest to the pages and the Gold Krylon pen to do some edges,special affects and details. Some of the image colouring was done with chalks to create a more subtle affect. I hope you enjoyed looking at one of my many treasures.

Pillow Box

Jane Norrish  my Stampin Up demonstrator gave this cute pillow box full of treats to me as a gift, it’s so cute!

Handbag of Cards

I had a ball doing this class with Jane Norrish she is my amazing Stampin Up demonstrator who never ceases to amaze me with her knowledge and brilliant designs. I can’t show you the other two cards as I gave them away already which is so unlike me but I have my blog now and have a documented journey of both my cards and technological improvement on the computer. I’m enjoying both at the moment. In the last decade my business burnt to the ground and I’ve had my house and business flooded twice - all three life events not insured ,so this blog is my insurance of a preservation of all my artistic treasures.

Another gift from Jane Norrish

This was such a treat filled with pretty ribbons and a stamp for me.
How Jane made this.
Jane keeps the small baked beans tins and uses a can opener to open the bottom of the can and leaves the ring pull intact. After she decorates the tin, fills it with treasures and seals shut with glue as shown in the picture. Very clever idea! and Lucky me!

Pillow Box Gift from Jane Norrish
