Let's Check Out the Spellbinders BetterPress System!

 Hello!

Yesterday was the official first day of Spring!  I'm here for it!  Several crafty friends suggested I buy the BetterPress, so I finally did.  After playing with it a bit (video linked below), I'm glad I did!  It's not terribly expensive and does wind up having multiple uses.  It imprints like a letterpress, giving lovely results that are hard to show in photos.  

The BetterPress System is easy to use and pretty much foolproof.  I show you how in the video below!  I've also linked (AFIL) below the supplies I used in case you are interested in them.  I appreciate it when you purchase with those links as I may get a small commission at no additional cost to you!  Thanks!

I will be doing a follow up video on using the foiling aspect of the BetterPress plates and other materials.

I'd love to hear your suggestions on further uses as well!  Please comment at the video as I sometimes am not able to respond to comments here;)

Supplies:

Take care and I'll be back soon!

"Show 'N Tell" Featuring Spellbinders New "Classic Pooh & Say Cheese!" Collections!

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing several cards using the Spellbinders "Classic Pooh" and "Say Cheese" die sets.  A special "Thank You" to Spellbinders for sending me some of the dies to play with!  However, as usual, my opinions are strictly my own.  The products are listed below.  (These are affiliate links, so I may make a small commission if you purchase using these links;). Thank you for your support!!  

Here is a show ‘n tell video with extra info!  I thought I’d try something a little different;) 

First, I added an action wobbler to Tigger to create an interactive Valentine!  I added the Spellbinders "Hemstitched Die" so more of the black would show through.

My second project uses the Classic Pooh Silhouette die and some gold glitter paper to highlight it.  Some many sunset examples had already been posted, so I tried something different.

The third project is using the "Hunny Pot" die a bit differently!  I didn't have Pooh or Piglet, so I had to get really creative.  The flowers are from a retired Spellbinders Zinnia set.

The fourth card features the "Say Cheese" and "Fluted Rectangles" frame die.  The stamp set is from Gina K and is stamped on glossy photo paper.

Last, but not least is "Eeyore" who is paired with "Tigger" in a die set.  I also used the Spellbinder "Hemstitched Rectangle" die to add some variety.  I had some scrap distress inked paper that had a matte finish, so I used it to make balloons like conversation hearts!
