More Techniques to get the most out of your Press Plates

In this video I’m sharing More Techniques to get the Most out of your Press Plates. I love playing and discovering more techniques I can use to create with my Betterpres plates. They are so versatileand always seem to wow and amaze me! Ad

This video Explores additional Techniques to some of my last Press Plate videos and expands upon some of the ideas. For the First Card I simply ink the Floral View Press plate with Grey Distress ink before Pressing onto Betterpress Cardstock with the Betterpress System and the Spellbinders Platinum 6 Machine. All of the Cards (except the Embossed one) were finished off with a Layered Floral die cut that was coloured in different ways for each card.

My next Card Expands upon the first technique and Inks the press plate and then Embosses it with Betterpress cardstock using the Embossing a die stacking in the Spellbinders Platinum 6 with the Universal Plate system. This creates amazing pillow like Texture to the design for the Front of the card.

My Third card uses the betterpress plate to foil with in the Spellbinders Glimmer machine with Prism Glimmer Foil. I love the delicatenes that that foiled image creates. You could ink your foiled image to colour it once done, but I preferred it without ink.

The final card in this video combines foiling with inking the plate in the betterpress and creates a really interesting looking result. The Sentiment is foiled on Hammermill Cardstock and then a mask is created using the die that comes in the set with Masking Magic sheets before inking and pressing the background plate image.

    The way this is impressed into the paper makes it look like it is embroidered or sewn. Love the effect.

      It does! It looks just like a quilt! I love the dimension.
