FIVE Creative uses for Betterpress Plates -Use 1 Betterpress plate in 5 different ways

In this video I'm sharing 5 Creative uses for Betterpress plates. I will be using the same Chic Merry Christmas Betterpress plate for all 5 Techniques. I love finding many ways to use my tools. By finding more techniques to use with them I think it makes them more valuable and we get to be more creative with them. Some of these techniques will work better for some plates than others.

[@denisestine2141]

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

Canada meeee too I’m in Ontario near Hamilton. Supplies are always harder to get in Canada so we have to be clever 😉

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

We definitely have to be clever (and patient!) hello fellow 🇨🇦👋

[@pennyf9886]

DISTRESS INKS AND ALCOHOL INK is my fave!

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

💕😊 I keep going back and forth between different ones. However, I’m SO excited that the idea behind the alcohol ink one worked the way it did and can’t wait to try it again with a more plates 💕

[@angelwooten1985]

All my favorite!!! They are gorgeous 😍 thanks for sharing

Fantastic video! 😊

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@kiminalaska9363]

Very cool way of using the plates. I have never seen the Vaseline technique

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

I’ve never seen it with a Betterpress plate. At one point I stumbled across it used with a stamp. I’m not sure where and have been wanting to try it with the Betterpress and was so thrilled with the way it turned out!

[@noneyobusiness6582]

Hey that Vaseline card was really cool

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

Thank you🥰

[@summer5851]

Love all these fantastic ideas! I just got my betterpress letterpress two weeks ago. Haven't been able to play with it a lot yet, but enjoying everyone's experiments using things in our stash! I never thought of using Vaseline! Love all of your ideas! Excellent video, very clear and precise with instructions. Thanks so very much! I originally was on the fence on purchasing the betterpress letterpress. I've done couple of impressions and when I saw first one, I did an out loud "Omgosh, no way, this is seriously beyond my expectations!" I live alone with my dogs, they looked at me wondering who I was talking to in my craft studio. So glad I decided to buy it. Thanks again for sharing your talented ideas!

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

You will love it! The plates are so versatile and fun to create with! 💕 and lol about the dogs! If mine hadn’t gone dead I’m sure she would be doing that as well😅😂

[@candiwelsh5524]

Very clever. Thank you. So pretty. All of them👍❤️

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

Thank you🥰

[@muskadobbit]

Really interesting Vaseline technique. (And I love the way your card turned out! Beautiful work!) Have you tried lift ink with the alcohol ink? Could be interesting.

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

I have used the lift ink with stamps and have videos using it but haven’t tried it with the Betterpress yet😊

[@dawnbrenner133]

Wow love this! 2024 holiday cards for sure.

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

❤️ Thank you! 🥰

[@created2bless322]

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

💕 Thank you🥰

[@gacricutgirl]

Love all your ideas! Thank you so much! This is a favorite plate of mine,

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

🥰 Thank you! It is an awesome plate! So simple but also so elegant!

[@dawnmulder3540]

Beautiful cards!! I love them all!

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

💕 Thank you so much! 🥰

[@debbiepetersen3361]

Excellent video. The aura foiled card is stunning! I also loved the grunge look of the alcohol ink. Finally thanks for the tip about using clear embossing powder on the silver ink. I have this plate & have inked it with silver but felt something was lacking. I think the embossing will do the trick!

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

I love the simple but Elegant feel of the Aura foiled one 💕 and you're welcome about the embossing tip 🥰

[@sammiepuppy4196]

Thank you for your video- very well done. Question- can a glimmer plate be used as a letter press image? Happy Holidays!

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

Great question and no. Betterpress can be used with glimmer but glimmer cannot be used in the betterpress. Apparently they are slightly thicker and can break your Betterpress

[@doneensprowl3399]

When you did the hot foil card, did you heat it or just press the foil Thru the Better Press?

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

I used the Betterpress plate with my glimmer machine to heat up the plate and then ran it through my die cutting machine for the pressure

[@LouiseNeveu]

Third one of your videos that I watch, will soon be a groupie. Any chance you might be located on Vancouver Island?

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

lol, Thank you🥰 And yes, I’m on Vancouver Island! What made you guess that?!? 🇨🇦

[@LouiseNeveu]

@@ArtsyIslandGirl You mentioned you were in Canada. Reference to Island is most often used my residents of PEI or Vancouver Island. I live in North Cowichan. It is a very small world.

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

@@LouiseNeveu definitely a small world. I’m in the Comox Valley 😊

[@dawnbrenner133]

just a gentle suggestion I LOVE LOVE LOVE you u tubes. can you maybe talk just slightly slower?

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

I can definitely try. I didn’t even realized I was talking fast. Sometimes though there just so much info to give and I try not to make the videos too long.

[@dawnbrenner133]

You are not talking too fast. I just need a bit more time to absorb! Maybe just take a breath in between. I love your instructions so much and you are giving so much great info! @@ArtsyIslandGirl

[@ArtsyIslandGirl]

@@dawnbrenner133 Ahhh gotcha! Thank you for the feedback.
