Thank you for a great and comprehensive review. I am not sure Betterpress is an addition to my papercraft, however, I do love my die cuts and Spellbinders is one of my go-tos (as are Ranger inks ha ha). 😊

@@michaleedwards4310 yes I have a Sizzix Big Shot and I’ve just tried the floral plate and the Happy Birthday plate. Works brilliantly but I would have been better impressed if the cleaning product was included in the starter kit. I struggled to get the ink off the plates.

This definitely gives beautiful result!! I very much appreciated your clear review. But all 25:20 I can see is how much money would have to be spent to make this worth having. Anything that requires reinvestment in the medium to make images, as it can't use any of my collection of stamps and dies, I won't be purchasing. I can't!! I won't purchase the glimmer foil system either. I am not saying these new products aren't fantastic, because they are! But for every new system that is released you have to build your inventory up from scratch. The cost is prohibitive. How many prople will buy the starter kit and then a few dies where it will eventually end up in a corner gathering dust because each time you want to make a card you have to buy something first, an expensive product. Just thinking of the money Spellbinders is going to make off this is something else.
