Yay!! I get mine this week. Can’t wait.
Cathy, you came up with a word of the day! ELECANT!!!! Love it!
❤❤❤
Beautiful cards
😊😊😊
Awesome…
I’m interested to know if it will work with my Gemini Jr
Question: What made you choose the Zig markers instead of say, Copics? Beautiful job, Cathy.
Beautiful cards! Thanks for demo, can’t wait for mine to arrive!
Beautiful cards Cathy 💖
Loved watching you have a play with this new project, TFS…..in Jennifer’s second video, she mentioned not to press down on the plate when running it through, to just let the machine do the work. I wondered if that maybe added to your double image, as she also ran it through mote than once. Just wondering. Your cards turned out beautiful
Beautiful cards Cathy can’t wait until I get this 🌹👍
Loved watching your process! Experimentation is the key to success! :). I did order one the other day and am excited to try it! Great video Cathy. ❤❤
I wonder if you splattered on a blank card first and then Letter Press the You Make Me Happy afterward. They the splatter would be “behind” the sentiment. All beautiful cards and the flower painting looks very botanical! TFS
I watched your video, Simon Hurley’s and then two of Jennifer McGuire’s before adding the system to my cart and checking out. Woohoo! ❤😂
I watch Yana S. And Spellerbinders creater video and he said that you should not rub the plate backwards in your diecutting machine. 😊
Looks like fun. Lovin’ the indents. All your cards are gorgeous…thanks for trying the different inks🩷🌸🩷
Thank you so very much for this great comprehensive tutorial. You provided all the information I needed to move forward and purchase the Better Press. Your time making the tutorial is greatly appreciated.
How pretty those cards came out. The one you painted is my favorite. Thank you Cathy! With my anniversary around the corner, do I want the Spellbinders Press Letter?! 🤓
I love watching you play with this. You think so much like I do, so it was like playing myself. I am curious could you maybe mist a bit of water on the ink? As when you get done inking, the beginning isn't wet Ink anymore. Also can we use hot foil plates, or regular dies.
Beautiful.
Hi Cathy, is there any chance you could see if the betterpress system works with your Gemini junior. It is not on the list of compatible machines at Spellbinders. I am really keen to buy the betterpress system, but I don’t want to have to buy a new die cutting machine as well!
I got money for my birthday (June 16th) and am treating myself to this new toy!
OMG… your subtitles 🤣🤣🤣
Does it also work with the Sizzix Big Shot Switch?
Thanks for sharing info on how the press works! Beautiful cards!
Great introduction! Could you try using the special ink on a regular 2D embossing folder and show us the results?
Beautiful cards Cathy!! ❤❤
At first I thought this was simply a variation of a stamping press, didn’t catch on until you mentioned that it leaves an impression or debossing along with the inking or stamping. It’s cool & I saw a short by Simon Hurley using this earlier, but I don’t see me buying it. It took a lot for me to get to purchasing a Misti and I don’t have a die cutting / embossing machine – want one as it would be alot of fun to use embossing folders & dies but I already have a Cricut Maker, so can’t justify spending the money for that & definitely not the Betterpress especially when it requires its own set of special “dies” & ink. Most definitely love the cards you made & seeing how much you enjoyed trying this out, Cathy 😊.
How much/deep of an impression did you get? Mine is so small that it is almost flat like a stamp. Barely any impression just detailed inking.
The press does a great job…. but another item to purchase, plates to buy, ink to buy… and paper to buy…. out of my reach…..
WOW – beautiful cards! I didn't think I would need another new 'toy' – but seeing your lovely cards just may change my mind!
