I love it that Spellbinders make embossing folders that emboss a bigger size card. I only make 5 X 7 cards.

[@Cre8iveCindy]

These cards are great! Idk how to say the next part…I don’t own a better press but videos like this where you talk about it and it’s not consuming the video, it’s all good. If it was only about the better press then I just wouldn’t watch that one.

[@susanwymer6912]

Haven’t finished the video yet but your dogs started barking and alert. So my dog went on alert and gave his nemesis, the flamingo float, the stink eye. It was hysterical! He is now part of your pack!

[@karenbliss5075]

Very pretty card! I love the texture in the background versus plain🥰🥰🥰

[@scubajenn5]

These are alllllll BEAUTIFUL!! And to answer your question: YES PLEASE more Betterpress videos!! Because I didn't "need" the Betterpress & I wasn't going to get it but I bought it and I LOVE it!! I would love to see Kelly Cards with the Betterpress!!❤

[@abbystone5738]

Texture is my jam! Love these so much, and a fantastic color scheme!

[@jalh3]

Gorgeous stunning beautiful cards, Kelly I love these

[@marysharvey]

I would love to see you demonstrate The Better Press more!

[@kimberlyagreene343]

I love the colors! So different and so pretty!

[@LatonkaLady]

❤❤❤ Love them all! I'd love more BP Video's too! I have a machine but not many plates - only buy them on a sale (big sales) and they've just started having some good buys. I'm the type that is buying last year's items on sale now - that's how I roll! I'm only now getting into the BP and Wax Seal recently but LOVE them both! For me I'd rather cut than color haha.

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Thank you for sharing these cards using the die’s… I’d purchased the JOY stitching die and hadn’t used it because I haven’t felt like stitching but yours looks fantastic!! I’d also purchased the merry Christmas die last year (I believe) and tried using but had such a difficult time placing the letters and you solved that issue too!! You have no idea how happy I was to see your video pop up because I paid more than I usually do (majority of my purchases are on great sales but these 2 weren’t) Thank you so much! Blessings, Nancy Rolfe

[@cardsbycolie]

Soooo many great ideas! There's definitely something for everyone. TFS💜🎨

[@rachellelee7707]

Love these cards. Can't wait to get home to play with mine.

[@kiminalaska9363]

I love how the better press worked. Is there a reason why you didn’t leave the better press plare on the base and just flip the platten? Just curious. Thanks for the video

[@denabaker96]

These are really pretty I was glad to heat it took you two days to make them because I am so slow at making my cards!! Lol😂😂😂 I mean truly if anyone gets a card from me it is from the heart and took hours to make. Thank you for this video I always learn from you and I would be interested to see how to make cards with the betterpress that are not just beautiful but still personalize them and make them your own. That's what I want to see /know if and how to do before investing in the system. Thanks girl ❤

[@RickAdkins]

I love the better press it’s what I want for my birthday for Christmas I got the glimmer machine it was a big debate on which to get first. And would love to see the videos

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Absolutely gorgeous cards Kelly 🎄❄️🎄

[@susien8097]

Very pretty cards! ❤ The better press stuff looks neat but I can pass on it.

[@dawnwoleslagle9561]

Oh, these turned out FABULOUS! 😍

[@JessicaCEP]

I love Betterpress! I am looking forward for new plates in the future!

[@violetolson6512]

Love the Better Press. Please do more tutorials

[@patriciawilson4135]

WOW! So many different techniques to make the cards different using these products. What a difference embossing the background of the pale blue card made. Brought it to another level. Thanks for using the BetterPress as bought it and have only used it once. Maybe time to do so. Beautiful cards, as usual.

[@jj35040]

The third card is my fav. I love that Merry Christmas Die. Missed the sale...

[@tennitaclark5919]

I just purchased and received my better press. I have not used it yet but would love to see more videos 😊

[@pmhdesigns-patricia0522]

Beautiful cards

[@elizabethharris8692]

i would love to see more betterpress videos please!

[@mamaduck5981]

I always love what you do with your cards.

[@barbarasmith4600]

What beautiful cards, Kelly! Thanks for

[@lyndik772]

4 beautiful and unique cards, love them all. I would love it if you did more betterpress videos.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful cards Kelly, thank you!

[@constancehollenbeck8528]

Great cards, Kelly! I always have to check videos to help me put the die cuts together.

[@lisaobrien8060]

Love that merry Christmas die

[@barbaraschierloh1209]

Beautiful cards as always! Would love to see some videos using the Better Press as I hope to get one for Christmas.

[@brendaflick3907]

Beautiful card and I love the colors. Thanks for the inspiration. I tend to stay with tradition Christmas colors, but you've inspired me to go outside my safe little box!

[@debreeps397]

Great variety, Kelly. Awesome!

[@rhondacesana2221]

Gorgeous cards. I love the color combo and the floral designs. I definitely would like seeing more BP videos; considering if I want to invest. Thank you for giving us examples!

[@shirleymcneely1994]

Magnificently beautiful!!

[@melodieisreal5933]

This video was definitely inspiring...such differences using the same die cuts! I would definitely love more Betterpress videos!

[@rollonmom]

Our dog actually barked when she heard your dogs on the video. I thought that was funny.

[@anneslinger2189]

Love the cards! Die cutting is my first love when it comes to card-making I'm not surprised that it took u 2 days to do this; that was a LOT of die cutting. Also, it made me laugh when your dogs started barking. It's so typical! Which one had the squeaky bark?

[@lindavanniekerk5593]

Stunning cards ❤

[@46yoya]

Beautiful cards , I like your videos a lot!!

[@noniemay5085]

I'm definitely interested in the better press. I have it, but not many plates yet. I love that you can use them for hot foiling also. I've also used the hot foil plates in the better press system, and it worked great. So yes, I would love to see more. A side note, my dog perks up every time she hears your dogs. I love it.

[@rachellelee7707]

Totally interested in betterpress

[@laurie78738]

More awesome ideas thank you👍

[@ValShim]

Beautiful cards. I love this set of dies!

[@kiminalaska9363]

I would love to see more better press videos

[@violetolson6512]

Very helpful

[@suzanherrington8316]

Great cards ❤😊🎉

[@lizbalaam1937]

Love all these cards. Please can you link your Hinge method.

[@gik4695]

Yes I'd like to see that method as well

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Beautiful cards, Kelly! I don't have the patience for die cutting very often, I'm not sure I would get all four of these created! I do love the font of the Merry Christmas. (And by the way, your dogs barking don't bother me at all though I understand why they could be distracting to you trying to do your voice over!)

[@cursivesmiles]

Great cards, Kelly! The textures and colors are awesome! Knowing you, I was frankly surprised when you didn’t Coptic color the diecuts 😂 but I love the look of normal diecut-layered paper, so I think they look amazing, either way. 😘

[@KelskiB]

How are you liking the glue press? Does the nozzle really not clog?

[@cardsbyshannonlee]

I never shop the Spellbinders BOGO sales because of the way they do the free items... don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Spellbinders, I just don't like the way they do the BOGO sales, they have other really great sales that I do shop. - Thanks for the great video!

[@DarkMatterZine]

Lovely cards. I’m not going to get a betterpress. HOWEVER, I have bought a couple of betterpress plates to use in the hot foil system. I’d love to see more of that. I used their cobweb background and foiled it. it looks BEAUTIFUL *but* although I’m using the Platinum 6, it CUT the cobweb close to the edges. I didn’t think it was supposed to do that. I’m not sure if there’s a way to adjust the plates or what to do. If you could demo that while also doing straight up betterpress, that’d be great. I don’t mind watching a bit of betterpress. I am curious to buy some of the inks and try inking up dies while embossing with them.

[@paulapreston937]

How do you keep the indentation from the bottom plate to your cardstock?

[@lindadesgroseilliers17]

I've been arguing with myself whether or not I need/want to invest in the Better Press system. I have so many "systems" already that I don't know if I'll get much use out of it. Every time I see a video showing its use I lean a bit more toward investing in it. Thanks for more information and ideas.

[@valenciabrown1064]

Cards are so creative and I missed story time

[@gik4695]

Better press not for me personally because i cant afford another machine and all the specialty inks, plates, cardstock to go with, plus it would probably gather dust after a short while knowing me 😁 Besides, there are ways to achieve the same look with what I already have!
