“Well, that didn’t take long to overthink at all!” You have described my brain in a nutshell.

[@LisaMFischer]

Such a beautiful card! Cathy you truly never cease to amaze me. Also, between you, Jennifer and Gina, you keep motivated, inspired and encouraged to continue to create and never lose my mojo. Thank you!❤❤❤

[@cathylaycock5598]

I really like these. Laughed when you said that didn't take long to overthink at all. 😊💗🇨🇦

[@dianacagle2545]

Absolutely gorgeous! I am new to card making and you teach me so much. Thanks for all you share with us!!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much 😊 Glad to have a new card maker watching!

[@touchofmagik]

These are gorgeous Cathy!! You are making harder and harder to resist the BetterPress!!

[@StampGaGa]

Gorgeous Cathy! I can't wait to play with them. 😊♥

Beautiful cards! I can see a better press in my future. 😊

[@Teresa-Q]

Wow this is beautiful…love this. ❤❤❤

[@vickiwest4149]

Kathy ~ I just love watching your videos even if I do not have a certain machine featured. So much inspiration that can be adapted to other machines, or at the very least a similar looking card. Like use my hot foil floral plates, Copics, and dies. And the humor . . . (including pop-up subtitles) . . . fuh-get about it! 😂

[@czdesign]

That makes me happy!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Beautiful cards. Great plates. Thank you.

[@junoscreations4242]

Thank you for enabling me, this is the first time now I really want the betterpress too🙈 I could resist it until you made this gorgeousness, wish me luck not buying it🤣 I can also use that money to buy cz products🤩 who am I kidding, I want both! Love love love it!!!

[@KathrynHeaven]

Utterly beautiful. Thank you!

[@jo-annetedford519]

So beautiful I had to get it all! ❤😂

[@ConfederateDixieDarling]

Cathy, Nice card! Your videos are such fun and funny. Sometimes I use “temporary or very low tack” tape runners to keep my cardstock on the plate by putting a dab on the back to keep it from running from me, lol” Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!!!!!!!! You fans love you and your fun personality. MaryLisa

[@simpsondonna]

Beautiful card

[@mymessyhands6118]

Super nice ❤

[@bethanyapel3111]

Hi Cathy. Just watched the replay. Such beautiful cards!! ❤️❤️❤️. I do have a question. When you were using Gina’s machine, what pressure did you use to die cut the sentiments? That is what I am trying to figure out with the machine? Thank you

[@czdesign]

I put it at the Diecut and then -2 on the twist dial! Just because that cardstock is thick!

[@carolprice3142]

I couldn’t find Gina’s intra cut. So I found Bira they make the intra cuts . Pink not the blue color 109.00. Amazon carry’s them to . Sorry but maybe this will help the people that are unable to get the intra cut . Everyone sold out the first day the intra cut was out

[@czdesign]

Yes, it looks like that company makes Gina's too! I know hers are coming back. Enjoy!

[@tammycallahan5527]

Beautiful cards! Loved the color choices too! Sorry if I missed this, but can you share the link for the pearls that you used too? Thanks!

[@czdesign]

Oh, I forgot! here they are: • Satin Gold Pearls --- ldli.co/e/gqxqdjx [ SSS ]

[@tammycallahan5527]

@@czdesignthank you!

[@lindacarlucci5705]

Good morning! 8:13 Can the dies you used for the press be used in an old Cricut Cuttlebug?

[@czdesign]

No, unfortunately it's not. Here are the machines it's compatible with: Spellbinders Platinum, Platinum 6 Deep Sea Die Cutting and Embossing Machine Sizzix BigShot Sizzix BigShot Express Sizzix Big Shot Plus Sizzix BigKick Sizzix Switch Tim Holtz Vagabond RG Amaze Stampin' Up! Gina K. Intri-Cut

[@anigebrown7044]

I have a question Cathy. Can you ink any die cuts . Also what is the name of that plate. Thank you for sharing

[@czdesign]

I suppose you could. All info is in the description for you ! : )

[@anigebrown7044]

​@@czdesignThank you by the way I watch you , Gena and Jennifer all the time I just don't say nothing. Love all the cards that you all make

[@judithcoppa8901]

WHAT IS BETTER PRESS? I S IT ANOTHER MACHINE TO STAMP WITH? LIKE MISTY ETC?

[@czdesign]

Hi! I have a video that explains it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jVhpygmNafbpo

[@marlenemurphy3614]

Doe the press plate work with all dye cut machines?

[@czdesign]

No, there is info here: spellbinderspaperarts.com/pages/betterpress#Betterpress%20Compatibility

[@carolprice3142]

Ha ha I got mine out thinking the same thing . Well, it didn’t print right. Now I know why I pushed on the plate forgot to put it through my platinum . My brain was fried

[@maryannebaker4314]

How is that different not from embossing?

[@czdesign]

It presses the image into the paper. Very similar in some ways! The idea with the plates is to add ink and press the design or the words into the paper.

[@honeysuckinaw3500]

Hello,happy new year Cathy. Question: for the better press is there a certain type of paper to use for the dies and also do they have certain kinds of inks as well?

[@czdesign]

I tend to use heavier weight paper, like the 110# pound white cardstock I use. All inks can work for blending though!

[@czdesign]

Oh wait… sorry, misread! I use the cotton paper from Spellbinders! but i used regular die ink for this card!

[@kimmcelhaney6220]

Beautiful cards!

[@gloriametcalf538]

Gorgeous cards, Cathy.
