    I just told my husband, "Jennifer just demonstrated my next birthday present!" He is both excited and relieved 😊

    When I first read about this tool I didn’t think I’d want it, but I decided to withhold judgment until I saw your demo. Now I want it!! Your thorough coverage of how to use the letterpress and all the different ways to use it did not disappoint! You’re amazing. Thanks, Jennifer!❤️❤️

    Jennifer - I have watched your videos for years, and am always inspired by your creativity. I often find myself clicking on your links to supplies and tools to purchase the latest and greatest - and this video is no exception! THANK YOU for providing your reviews and techniques, I look forward to each video. ALSO, those of you who have been in the paper crafting world for a while might have the Lifestyle Letterpress plastic plates. THEY WILL WORK in this BetterPress system! You need to remove all three shims from the chase and use the adhesive sheets that typically came with the plates to temporarily adhere them to the platform. Sooooo much easier than the ink rolling you used to have to do! So excited to revive my old stash with this new tool!!

    I am hoping that they come out with an elegant alphabet set. That would allow for gorgeous monogram cards. The grids on the chase would make it so easy to line up letters.

    Thanks for this awesome video, Jennifer. I quickly went from "I really don't think I need that" to "I have got to get one of these!" Your reactions were my exact reactions when you lifted the paper off the plate. So pretty! I love that Spellbinders is bringing back an old school printing technique from yesteryear, while giving it a modern twist and making it simple and easy to use. ❤

    Thanks Jennifer for the tutorial for Spellbinders betterpress, mine arrived yesterday, so watching this has really inspired me to have a good go, thanks again xx

    Oh my, oh WOW! I saw my first video of this Betterpress machine this morning by Simon Hurley - and ordered it, more paper, and another plate right away. (I have been making cards for so many years that I am very eager to find NEW ways to make different types of cards. I’ve been searching for and making mostly new fun fold cards lately, just something to make my cards more interesting. This machine also fits the bill for me!)
    Now I’ve just watched your video with so many new techniques and beautiful photography that shows the debossed designs so clearly, and I’m even more excited that I purchased it….and bought many more things!
    Thank you for your wonderful, exciting, and informative tutorials! Everything that you have favorably reviewed that I have bought has been perfect for me!

    Preordered mine right after it was premiered. I think this will make stunning cards, especially Wedding cards!

  • @anmasujo3821
    @anmasujo3821 Год назад +2

    I was taught to use a letter press with a roller when I was in college. We made our own plates. When I received a text message from SB about it - I wondered if my etched plates would work with it - I sent SB an email asking for the thickness of their plates - I definitely think they will work by what they told me - but I decided shortly prior to their response to pre-order it, without knowing if it would be a good match or not. I felt it would be a good tool in my crafting arsenal to have. But their response that arrived 5 days later is just icing on the cupcake! 😀

  • @iartistdotme

    WOW - I can't help thinking that Art Nouveau style would look perfect with this new tool - must have tool.

  • @cindymajdecki9028

    I wasn't going to jump into something new. But it looks so beautiful and that it can be used to foil is great! Thank you for the demonstration.

    @gloriametcalf538 Год назад +1

    Looks great. What beautiful examples you did for us, thanks tons

  • @ЛідіяГошовська-й5о

    That reaction is absolutely precious!
    Can't wait to see different types of paper and inks)
    Seems like watercolor paper should work great because it has familiar structure..

  • @freedomofreligion3248
    @freedomofreligion3248 Год назад

    And, Spellbinders is honest enough to actually list their "pre-order" as "Sold Out" at a certain volume!
    I'm impressed, Spellbinders!

  • @freedomofreligion3248
    @freedomofreligion3248 Год назад +2

    I have a particular fondness for "letterpress" having been an actual offset press operator who was also a real phototypesetter, and a by-hand technical illustrator + camera operator, all the trades supporting graphic design, all prior to the release of the personal computer (which seemed to make "everyone" into a graphic designer, lol...)
    LOVED hearing your authentic reaction.

  • @49lucky

    I wasn't going to buy it, 😢 till I watched your channel😊now I'm going to get it. Thank you for such a great video

  • @jinkiedog8824
    @jinkiedog8824 Год назад +2

    Hi Jennifer, I have one of these on order from the mom & pop reseller I go to. In the class I watched, you can replace the shims, bottom plate and cover plate with standard plates then you can die cut with it. You NEVER want to use the shims and plates that come with the unit for die cutting. You can also use it as a platform to stamp with our regular stamps. Washers from the hardware store work great to hold down the paper.

  • @KathySparkle1
    @KathySparkle1 Год назад +2

    As soon as this tool was introduced I immediately said Yes. I’m a big Anna Griffin fan, who is a stationer/designer who has mentioned letterpress innumerable times. Thx, JMcG, for this, I look forward to receiving BetterPress soon! Your results were magnificent, classy and elegant!

  • @1stcandy
    @1stcandy Год назад +2

    Thanks for sharing. I like hearing about products that can be used in paper crafting from someone that is experienced. I may not always purchase but it is nice to see it demonstrated with the pros and cons, so that I may make up my mind as to whether I should purchase or not or maybe put it on my "I want that" list.

  • @giablue3642
    @giablue3642 Год назад +4

    Jennifer, you made my day with your reactions as that was mine when I saw this was going to be available! Thank you so much for this video! I will be following you even more closely ... not that I do not already stalk you as it is lol

  • @barbborja1910
    @barbborja1910 Год назад +2

    I was actually wishing that I wouldn’t like this. I actually love it. I was thinking that maybe I would wait until Christmas to buy one, then you showed it being able to work with foiling too. I can’t wait to play with this! Thanks for the awesome demonstration Jennifer.

  • @JumpinJellyfish
    @JumpinJellyfish Год назад +2

    Your crafting tool reviews are some of my favorite videos on your channel. I purchased my first Platinum 6 after watching you review various die cutting machines. This Letterpress makes absolutely beautiful imprints. Anything that is “Jennifer approved” is good enough for me! ❤️ Thanks for taking the time to share!!

  • @artcreationsbydar

  • @sigalmeir
    @sigalmeir Год назад +7

    I can't see the difference between this press and using a regular cutting die to make an impression. We can use our cutting dies machine and our cutting dies with a rubber mat to get the same results. You've shown it many times on your channel.

    • @lorisanford1967
      @lorisanford1967 6 дней назад

      Yes me too and I was wondering what makes it different than just using a stamp block and a stamp on paper I hope there's a difference cuz I bought one I did get a great deal on it though it'll be in soon but I don't know what the difference is after I buy it I'm thinking wait is this any different than when you already stamp ????

    • @lorisanford1967
      @lorisanford1967 6 дней назад

      Yes I agree and after I ordered it I thought did I really need this? What's the difference between stamping with this better then just stamping the old way with a stamping block and paper

    I remember back when I got my first big shot. It came with letter press dies, Ink, and a brayer. I was new to card making at the time, so didn't use it to It's full potential. I was excited to die cut back then. I appreciate you giving us an honest opinion on products. We trust you Jennifer and I think we have all made purchases because you said it was a good product.

  • @lisasisneros8200
    @lisasisneros8200 Год назад

    I've always loved the clean, elegant look of letterpress. It's exciting to see a product like this that can achieve the look so well! I may wait to see what designs they continue to come out with before taking the plunge. The fact that the dies can be used with foil it nice, too! That floral foil card was stunning!!

  • @anniekempton9193

  • @lindadesgroseilliers17
    @lindadesgroseilliers17 Год назад +1

    Thanks for the comprehensive review. I understand your excitement, but I have to admit that this is one "tool" I can probably live without. I love the look, but the tool is only the beginning of the cost of this system. I think I'll be watching from the sidelines on this one.

  • @pamelahansen5928
    @pamelahansen5928 Год назад +2

    Love that you can use dye inks with this system . Curious about using hammermill paper with this system or watercolor paper. Thanks so much for an excellent video as always.

    Woo-hoo. Thank you for this intro video and future BetterPress videos to come. I was so excited when I saw the videos coming out of Creativation and pre-ordered the set from Spellbinders as soon as it was available on their site. I love the look of letterpress and am so impressed with how Spellbinders coordinates their devices to work together. Loved your "live" reactions to your first attempts. Your true joy in creating shines through. I also appreciate that you always stress that we don't have to have or even want all the new things. Thank you Jennifer for all you do. You are truly a blessing!

  • @loriladwig1692
    @loriladwig1692 Год назад

    Thank you for the wonderful intro. Because of my budget, I stopped buying new systems and still apply foil with my laminator!!! I may consider this system because it performs multiple functions. As long as you don't have to use their proprietary ink and paper, it might be affordable. Want to see more....
