Just such gorgeous cards as per usual from you Therese! So hard to pick a favorite, but I must say that the technique you used on first one of stamping those gorgeous flowers and then blind pressing the burlap plate really made the flowers looked like pressed specimens - love how it turned out!

So glad you liked these Kimberly, I too am a fan of the impressed background look!

I agree, they also have a similar background stamp called Rustic Linen which is fun too!

I love your gorgeous cards equally! The 'wheels' are turning, Therese! You know I'm going to give this 'blind' pressing a try! =]

Yes indeed, I know it calls to your 'dry embossing' addiction lol.

I really like the first one best (blind letterpress) although both are gorgeous! I must get that letterpress plate.

These are both such pretty cards! I love all the dimension you added to them. I'm going to have to try the blind letterpress look on my next card :)

It's such an easy subtle background, and it looks great on blended cardstock... or blend it after!

You can certainly get similar looks to these using embossing folders and foiling plates (even gold heat embossing), but it's nice to be able to stretch these plates further than just 'letterpress'. So glad you like the cards Jeanne!

They are both beautiful cards Therese! I must say that I love the first one, your cards are always stunning.. I have to say that I haven't tried the Letterpress technique..
@lostinpaper4 ай бұрын
Thank you so much Patricia, the impression looks very similar to a debossed image from an embossing folder, but it's great to be able to stretch the BetterPress Press Plates a little further!

Beautiful cards! I don't have the BetterPress - yet but very interested.
@lostinpaper3 ай бұрын
They are much easier to use than Hot Foil systems and I do like that the plates can be hot foiled. My focus now is to purchase mostly Press Plates because I can use them in both systems. It is a bit of a decision though, because you will need to purchase plates that are compatible, I've found that my watercolour cardstock and the Altenew inks work really well with the Betterpress, so at least I didn't have to purchase all new inks and paper as well.

I find the Letterpress much easier to use than the Hot Foil systems I've tried... but in saying that I think the Letterpress press plates work better in the Hot foil systems than some of the hot foil plates lol. Thanks for your lovely visit here today Wanda!
