New subscriber here. Love the card! Getting decorative paper perfectly onto my card base is so frustrating. I always think I have just right and....nope. The edges of the white card stock show. I appreciate your tip of using liquid glue. Do you mind sharing the brand? The one I use sets up super quick and doesn't allow for any wiggle room. Thanks so much.

But if you hot foil on the glimmer plate after using as a better press does it affect how the foil works if there is ink residue?

@carolynfedalen6621 Great question. I'm very thorough in cleaning my stamps and Better Press plates after ink so I'm not able to answer this.

Thank you for answering. My Betterpress system was damaged worse than that using the Betterpress plates and following their directions. I’m glad to know that shouldn’t happen, but also glad to know that I can use foil plates at my discretion.

I think it is important to note that every individual machine needs to be tested because the pressure is different. I believe that everyone who has mentioned that the plates are not interchangeable mentions that it could void your warranty. Also spellbinders doesn’t have the only plates that will work in the better press. There will be another maker coming out with press plates in 2024 so you will have a choice on who you buy from. But it was good to see that it is possible to use the foil plates with the better press

@lizamendez41 7 ай бұрын

Just came across your video and I do appreciate your explanation. Yesterday I did my last Spellbinders order for 2023, bcz I intend to use my products and quit accumulating stuff that goes unused. So knowing I can betterpress with my foil plates is even better to get more out of my products.

I came directly from Jennifer McGuire’s video to check if someone tried it anyways. I don’t have either system but I’d love to have both. I find it increases in value if you can use the plates for both. Thanks for trying and for your informative video. I’ll check out your other stuff. I wonder, can you ink up your foil plates and use them without the letter press system? Like maybe just regular dye cutting machine. Would that work? I imagine it wouldn’t give quite so much detailed impression?

Wonder what you could use to get the sentiments on there. Thanks for the great ideas as was thinking of making some tags next after my current project of a Christmas train.

Thank you for checking this out. I, too, figured they were probably just covering liability bases by saying you "can't" use foil plates with the Betterpress system. And of course, wanting to sell more of their own plates. I have tons of foil plates, and I think it would be silly not to use them with the Betterpress, now that I know its possible. I'll take the risk, and just be careful. Also, I have a bunch of Letterpress paper that I got on clearance a long time ago when the Letterpress was going out of fashion. I figure it will be great to use for Betterpress, because it's cotton and very thick.

@CockatooWantsToBeaCat 11 ай бұрын

I have not had anything turn out with my Betterpress. It’s the only craft purchase I wish I didn’t invest in. I unfortunately bought many of those plates that go with. I’m not happy with Betterpres. Watching you it looks easy. I’m a seasoned crafter. I just don’t get this thing. Ugh

I just received my Betterpress and right out of the box, it worked beautifully! Not sure what you can do to mess up this very simple system! I always watch several videos FIRST just to understand what the process is...THEN play!

@sharlahays 11 ай бұрын

My guess is that they will be selling replacement plates anyway ... especially if their plates leave an impression too and over time/use they would need replaced anyway.

Hi I just looked at this months Glimmer plate and on the back it says Glimmer/Letterpress. I thought that was interesting. Thank you for checking that out for us.

@therockymountaincrafter 11 ай бұрын

I had no idea, thank you for sharing that. The catch 22 for Spellbinders is if they keep insisting that glimmer plates should not go in the BetterPress when it is clearly OK they will start to lose the trust of their customers, so I think they have caught on to that now and are admitting that Glimmer Plates can be used and keep their customers. I get that they tried that so that we would think only BetterPress plates worked so we would have to buy BetterPress plates and they would make boat loads of money but that's just not true and therefore they will make less money but it would be a whole lot less if they were not completely transparent with what does and doesn't work and started to lose customers. Integrity is everything when running a business.

Thank you for trying products that might damage your better plate. I thought about it. I checked the price of the plate $15.99 isn't that bad. I really love my better press. I had issues with the tape rolled on the back side. It tore the paper. Using the Halloween spider die, its bigger than the paper it will cut into the plastic plate with the shims. Thanks again for the share.

Your background came out great. What paper are you using? Thanks for your video.

@therockymountaincrafter Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching Terry 😃 I use Hammermill Laser Copy Paper, 60 Lb, 100 brightness. I specifically use this because of the extra smoothe nature of it, it allows for the shimmery dust from the Lindy's Magicals to stay on top of the paper and really show off versus watercolor paper which absorbs more and turns out more blended and less sparkly. The Hammermill does warp quite a bit more than watercolor though so to fix that issue, when the panel is completely dry, I just put a whole lot of two way glue tape on the back of the panel with my ATG gun and adhere it to thick cardstock. I get beautiful results. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for supporting my channel 🩷

@@therockymountaincrafter I have a medium quality watercolour and the result is decent but not what I am looking for. I am waiting on some new inks and the higher quality paper and will give it another go and let you know what I think. I am definitely looking for more tutorials on the letterpress process. I have some super old letter press (20 + years old) so that is how long I have wanted to increase my skills with that process. The look is so professional.
