I love these cards. They are so cute. I did my first splatter b/c of you and it turned out so pretty. Thank you for doing these videos. Keep them coming. I just love your ideas.
Thanks for showing the "out of the box" tips and techniques as they are very helpful in using this BetterPress. I appreciate all the information provided. Loved the cards. Thanks so much.
Oh yay, you finally got to play! I know I'm late to the party, but I'm still just as excited. Gorgeous creations, and you know you're making me want to get a Betterpress! LOVE the Halloween release and your gorgeous cards and detailing xoxo
I'm so glad you did your tutorial so quickly. I've been waiting for you. I used my better press, but I want to see what you do. I was watching the hot foil for these dies, and I think you were there. I'm so happy you got the betterpress.
I love your cards! And I'm loving my Betterpress! You've got to try it with hot foil! The Pumpkins & Ghosts Panel look awesome in rainbow confetti foil! I'd love to see what hot foil goodness cards you come up with :) Your cards always inspire me! ~Big Hugs! Debbie J
@@PrairiePaperandInkI know! Only 24 hours in a day and too many card ideas to try :) I can't wait to see your next one. I always love your Halloween Series!
Love these cards! I saw the open if you dare & had to order it. I was thinking of adding a santa hat to the skeleton for a halloween christmas mashup. Put a present over the pumpkin. Ha ha
Really fun cards! When you held up the big mamma tape in front of your face, all of a sudden I remembered a very old childrens TV show called: Romper Room. I believe this show was most likely retired before you were born. 😊❤️🇨🇦
I love 🥰 all of the cards. I have a better press system, now I can't wait to use it. I just need to order the Halloween plates. Thank you Amy for all of the inspiration.
Love these cards! I've been having fun with my BetterPress but haven't ordered any Halloween plates as I thought I'd wait for the Christmas plates Your cards are making me rethink that idea!
These are so stinking cool! The ghosts holding hands are you kidding me?! It gives off a retro vibe and I love it. Beautiful cards! Really outdid yourself 👻🎃💀
These cards are delicious, Amy! I’m loving playing with my Better Press, too. The mulberry ink is gorgeous! Now, I’m going to try gold ink on dark cardstock! Yum!
Well, crap. I was being so good, telling myself I didn’t need the Better Press. But the combo of your ideas and Halloween might be too much to overcome. These cards are sensational!
These cards are gorgeous, Amy. They remind me so much of the of The Marigold Tarot by Amrit Brar, in which Amrit's artwork is printed white and gold on black.
These cards are cool! I’m still toying with if I need the Betterpress or not. I need to make sure I’m going to use it enough or if I just want it because you make cute cards with it!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this product. I love Spellbinders products and have used them for years. ❤❤❤ the glimmer system and their dies. Just not on the bandwagon for this product. Not that I dont like the results, although i am much more an embossing fan than a debossing fan. I have purchased some of the letter press plates as they are fabulous for foiling. ❤❤. Plus…..i dont really have room for another machine in my craft room. My 2 cents worth. I do love to see how all of you designers create with this.
Oh my Amy! I thought about you because I just uploaded one of my first you tube videos and tried better pressing with versamark ink and black watercolor paper and used glow in the dark embossing powder with the spider web plate and it glowed! Love your cards!!
stamps wouldn't be the same and SPB isn't a stamp-focused company. They have some coordinating stamps for certain collections but that's it. Speaking from my own opinion they aren't going to release the BP plates in any other format.
? no they aren't - Spellbinders yellow tape is closer to a washi tape (but stickier than washi tape) and if you're referring to the purple easy see tape it's nothing like painters tape. There was an older purple tape that was very similar to painters tape but they changed it and it's now much less tacky and I don't use the new version anymore. I have painters tape and have used it for years - not the same at all to the yellow tape.
Great cards ! Thank you for the inspiration and the tips. I saw another user of the BetterPress (Studio Kato) adding 1 sheet of paper towel with some BP special paper. It gave the additional dimension to her impression. Maybe it could also help to increase the pressing effect when you use plain cardstock ?
if that's the look someone wants yes - adding more layers or adding shims will increase the pressure. Like I said I didn't want that for the insides as it's meant to be written over. But for other card stocks and papers yes a person would have to experiment with layers and shims and see what works ;)
These are great! I could use help. I used the honeybee gold ink with my betterpress and I can't get the ink to dry. I've tried heat setting it and it's just everywhere. Ideas?
I heat set if I need otherwise I just leave it and don't rub my hands on it. Metallic pigment inks are just a beast and it's the nature of them - and yeah I always tell people I don't rub my hands all over my cards - AKA don't lick the artwork ;)
@@PrairiePaperandInk I don't lick mine either, but I used it with that spiderweb betterpress plate and it was impossible to finish the card with touching it some. I heat set it (or tried to) but it still ended up everywhere. :(
it's what pushed me over the edge (tho honestly I would have bought it anyway b/c I LOVE the look of letterpress lol) - wait till y'all see me hot foiling with them lol ;)
Thanks for sharing, as always it doesn't matter what you do, I watch. but I am not interested in a "better press" maybe some day when one machine can do it all you just change the platform then I might be in, otherwise it would just sit and collect dust like all my other crafting supplies, to bring it out maybe once a year, with prices beyond my means it just isn't worth it. Again, love your channel, love your crafting.
Stunning cards and demo xx
LOve these Halloween cards! The Letterpress is so cool. Wish list.
Love, love, love! I need this BetterPress. I'm trying to wait until after Stamptember LOL. I was shocked at how big Big Mama really is when I got it.
I love these cards. They are so cute. I did my first splatter b/c of you and it turned out so pretty. Thank you for doing these videos. Keep them coming. I just love your ideas.

Ooooo, how cool!!!! More Halloween!!!! Still on the fence about Better Press machine. Not sure. Yes, I did hear the angels!!!!

I REALLY like these!! Who knew Halloween cards could be so classy while being so fun!! Great cards as always!
I LOVE these cards! The stamping on that skeleton climbing out of the box is so crisp. 🔥
Really cute cards. I forgot to tell you I love your Halloween graphic this year. You always do such a nice job putting it together. 💜💜
thank you! :D
These cards are gorgeous, Amy. They remind me so much of the of The Marigold Tarot by Amrit Brar, in which Amrit's artwork is printed white and gold on black.
Awesome video. I always check for your Halloween videos! Can’t wait for my Betterpress to arrive. TFS.
Super cute cards! I asked the hubs and my son for a Betterpress for my birthday!
I may break down and get this for myself. I had to edit this to add: I LOVE how the sentiment die cuts out the ends all jagged like it's old and torn.
ikr - I thought that was a fun touch for them!
Ohhhhhh i like your Video sooo much and the Cards are fantastic 😍
So fun! Love how the gold adds shine! And the gold stars! Very spooky 👻 ❤
These cards are cool! I’m still toying with if I need the Betterpress or not. I need to make sure I’m going to use it enough or if I just want it because you make cute cards with it!

Fabulously spooky!
J'aime beaucoup ces cartes. Merci. I really like these cards, thank you.
Always love a holiday card series!
I LOVEEEEE these cards! I’m finally starting to put my craft room together. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a bunch of Halloween cards!

That sounds like a lot of fun. I checked out your channel,
I like the green and gold Christmas ornaments you posted on your channel as well.
@@CricketsBay Thank you 😀
Love these cards💀👻😍💜💜💜🇨🇦
Love the cards and all the letter press Halloween things! Please tell them to make stamps for those of us who are not letter press people
stamps wouldn't be the same and SPB isn't a stamp-focused company. They have some coordinating stamps for certain collections but that's it. Speaking from my own opinion they aren't going to release the BP plates in any other format.
Awesomeness. TFS
Oh my just love
You are having a blast!! I just love your videos!!
keep thinking I could totally use the xpress machine for that :P Must try as it has ajustable rolls.
Love the cards. Hoping these plates will work with the we r makers letter press from ten years ago. Lol
Love!❤
The yellow v& purple tape to hold stuff is nothing but painters tape
? no they aren't - Spellbinders yellow tape is closer to a washi tape (but stickier than washi tape) and if you're referring to the purple easy see tape it's nothing like painters tape. There was an older purple tape that was very similar to painters tape but they changed it and it's now much less tacky and I don't use the new version anymore.

Sighhhhhhh....I NEEEEEEED the things....❤

Ok, if you had to choose between BetterPress and a Glimmer Hot Foil machine, which would it be?
watch the live replay I linked at the end - that was asked multiple times and I addressed it in that video and why ;)
😂 I am watching it now 😂
I’m curious why you can’t hot foil with these plates considering you can use regular dies to hot foil?
you can hot foil with the BetterPress plates I talked about that in the livestream - I just haven't done it yet on my own channel
@@PrairiePaperandInk thank you! Now that I know I can use the plates for foiling I may have to look into getting the BetterPress
it's what pushed me over the edge (tho honestly I would have bought it anyway b/c I LOVE the look of letterpress lol) - wait till y'all see me hot foiling with them lol ;)
Put the DATE on the big momma roal ,it will tell you when you start it

I can see I'm going to be spending more money in the near future !!🤦♀
I do not need this. I do not need this. I do not need this.🧘🏻♀️
Fantastic cards. Thank you.
