your daughter sounds adorable! thanks for sharing your family with us. thanks for the video.

[@LindaWalter1949]

What a little sweetheart!

[@barbborja1910]

Lovely cards and I like having additional ways to use items I already own. Thank you so much for sharing that little clip of Kaitlyn. She is so precious! Her excitement over purple indicates that her color-boyfriend may be purple. lol. At least you won’t have to share your blue.

[@JumpinJellyfish]

The ending was the icing on the cake! Beautiful cards!!

[@beverlyrobinson7924]

She is adorable! Thank you for sharing your family and your beautiful talent with us.

[@carolhodges9899]

Loved all the things you created here. Thanks for experimenting. Loved the added treat at the end. She’s going to be a fine colorist!! ❤️

[@pamcarr4963]

Kelly, jellybean has the cutest little voice, and she knows all her colours and is going to be a great colorist in the future!

[@lindavanniekerk5593]

Lovely cards as always Kelly❤ And beautiful flowers coloured by sweet JellyBean❤ Cuteness overload🥰

[@shirleysickinger200]

She talks very well and did an awesome job coloring.

[@ChelleE514]

Thanks again for another wonderful tutorial. Your work is always so absolutely beautiful. Jelly Bean's segment was adorable.

[@melissahall9742]

Love her coloring 😊😊😊

[@raehenderson]

Oh Kelly! How very precious! Ya know, she stole the show don'tcha? LOL If I knew where to send them I would send little princess her own set of markers! ❤ Thanks so much for allowing us to share in that sweet innocence. She used her left and right hand! I found that super interesting. Cards were beautiful as always 😊. Thank you bunches Kelly!!!!

[@noreenhennessy9299]

That was adorable….jellybean is growing up fast

[@aundriab.9538]

Enjoyed your sharing Jelly Bean coloring, and how encouraging you were to her. Been a subscriber since before you were married, and so appreciate your sharing your family here, and seeing your life change and grow over the years. One of these days I'll give the ink smooshing thing a try; looks like so much fun!

[@marilynnellsworth4300]

Enjoy they do grow up so fast. Thank you for the information.

[@Bkchester78]

So glad you tested these techniques! I have been curious since I too have several foil press dies and wanted to be able to use them in more ways! Love that you encourage your daughter to share your passion! My grandkids come over and have upgraded from their crayons and markers to my alcohol markers and are truly enjoying them!❤

[@babbsd7235]

OMG! She is so adorable! Great ideas and cards.

[@chantalle7340]

Adorable little darling 🥰. Great tips. Lovely cards.

[@maryparsons1873]

She’s adorable! Beautiful cards too!

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Jelly Bean is so sweet, fabulous cards and such a fun treat, thank you!

[@betsybirge7934]

Beautiful cards Kelly! The BetterPress paper is 100% cotton with no sizing. Watercolor paper has sizing that allows for manipulation of paint on the surface of the paper. I haven't tried watercolor paper through my press but certainly worth experimenting!

[@jeanettesanna4187]

She is so precious.

[@sandrashaw8343]

Really lovely cards. Thank you for sharing all the test you did. A tip I use is I use a repositionable tape runner on the back of my card when I betterpress, it works fantastic. The betterpress paper definitely does not work as watercolour paper. I agree with you, I use watercolor paper instead. Kelly bean is so adorable, her speech is really coming on, she's at that stage where you can have a conversation, beautiful. X

[@lindaball403]

I love the cards, but your little one at the end, so stinking cute!

[@TannaLohouse]

Sorry adorable!! And she talks so well!!❤

[@kiminalaska9363]

As always gorgeous cards. I think of all the tools that have been released in the past 5 or 6 years the Better Press stands above them all because you get great results from the very first try. My copic coloring looks like Kaitlyn’s lol. Loved her cameo appearance

[@ValShim]

Your little Jelly Bean is so adorable. I loved all the cards you made. I don't have a better press machine an am on the fence right now. Thanks for a great video!

[@lindailey2225]

You got quite a few card bases out of this experiment time. Great job Kelly! I enjoyed listening to jelly bean.

[@743linda]

Thanks for all the great tips!!! Kaitlyn is adorable ❤

[@mj7945]

So cute! And you share you expensive markers well. 😂

[@tammygarrett9184]

She is so adorable. She will be artistic like mommy! I love your videos, Thanks for sharing

[@mecheledunlap4301]

It's hard to believe she is talking , they grow soo fast❤❤❤

[@maggibrowncardlife]

Oh my goodness, Kelly! Kaitlin(I’m sorry, I’m unsure of how you spell her name!)is absolutely adorable! I love that you protect her face from the camera! She’s two, correct?? She’s talking so well! You and your husband must talk with her a lot! It’s so wonderful to see great parenting in action these days! Keep up the fantastic work with her! You’re very sweet and patient with her! Obviously a great Mommy! Ohhh, sorry, Beautiful Cards btw!🥰🤗🫶🏻🙏🏻

[@ChristinaWelch]

Baby girl is adorable! I've only been subbed about a month and loving your channel!

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Oh, she is so darling!! She is smart too! I just wanted to touch those sweet baby hands….made my night!! Loved the video and learned so much but…. She completely stole the show ❤

[@dawnwoleslagle9561]

Beautiful as always…and JELLY BEAN! 😍 I think another one of the reasons you were having trouble with it blending is the combination of the paper AND using inks. Distress inks are much more staining than watercolor pigments. Distress Inks work best on heavily sized paper.

[@AndiHesk]

I love spellbinders, I have spent so much money with them and haven’t been disappointed yet. I don’t have betterpress or glimmer as I am not sure I would use them, but love everything else.

[@juliegonya6236]

such a great video - and Jellybean is so precious!

[@donnamerriman8475]

Awww. How sweet. Thanks for sharing.

[@Cards4Cancer]

Oh my goodness. That was such a gift. Thanks for sharing that.

[@CandCbyPegi]

Kelly, the end made my day, thank you so much. Oh, love the cards too 😉

[@ruthmccauley9771]

Kelly, these cards are stunning. Thanks for experimenting. I can’t wait to get out my foil dies and go to town with them on my letterpress!

[@AndiHesk]

Oh I may get some of those plates to emboss, I do like them.

[@CraftyToad70]

Thank you so much for all the experimenting with ways to letterpress. Such a helpful video!

[@bdbear10]

Those came out great! I love that you did all that experimenting!

[@gulffire117]

So much great information! Thanks for all the experimentation done for the team! Great results.

[@melaniestamps]

Great Job JellyBean!!!! You did a great job especially on that purple flower! Kelly, Ihave told so many people that the BP paper IS NOT the same as regular watercolor paper and I have had some totally disagree with me saying they are both 100% cotton and they are the same. So thank you for agreeing!!!! I have used Versafine ink and heat embossed and then used Copic markers and that works well on Copic Paper. You do not get the impression of course but you get a perfect stamping and then you can use your copics perfectly.

[@suelanham5125]

Your daughter sounds soo adorable, just a little sweetheart! Thanks. Your cards were gorgeous. I’m glad you are showing us how to stretch our supplies cuz this stuff is getting expensive! ( Personally I think $59.00 for a stamp, die and stencil set is not something I can buy whenever I see one I like. My purchasing has really slowed down.) I will go over to Spellbinders and check out their sale, thank for the head’s up on that.

[@DarkMatterZine]

You’re very brave letting Jellybean use your copics. I’d get kid textas! Cute as 🙂

[@DarkMatterZine]

Lovely cards. Plus I FINALLY realised my problems with watercolouring aren’t me, it’s the paper! I’ve been using hot pressed paper to try to emulate your style. I don’t know how I managed to miss that you prefer cold pressed! Anyhoo… I’ll try again now!

[@peggystoop4196]

Adorable! Starting to be a colorist!🥰

[@MaryMoisan]

She's so stinking cute! I had a big smile on my face as I watched that part of the video 😁 so happy she picked purple and red (my favorite colors). As for the cards, great as usual 👍 I don't have the better press system nor do I have plans to get it. Do you remember that store Archivers? I remember using the QuicKutz Letterpress system they had during my Friday night crop sessions. Wow, that was probably 15 or more years ago. Since I don't want to invest in the Better Press, but wouldn't mind getting a few Better Press sentiments, I picked up a small happy birthday one to see if it would work with reg ink (Ink On 3 Intense black) on my Big Shot, and it did 👏 I got the letter press look w/o all the extra equipment and cost.

[@Shannamakesit]

So so sweet!

[@mllecoline1961]

She sounds so cute!!!

[@AndiHesk]

They have just finished a large gem sale. Xx

[@angelalittlewood3039]

I can see a future colorist here. How old is she? Two? She really stayed in the lines when she colored the flower! Lots of tips again in your video. Thanks Kelly. I have the Better Press system and use my normal card stock and inks. I have not had any problems.

[@kerrymcgregor9771]

❤

[@dianelorello6938]

So cute, our future colorist. ❤

[@momjeans10]

P U R R R P L L E! 💜

[@KellyTaylorCards]

🤣

[@barbconlin7035]

Kelly, so I'm thinking of investing in the better press system but my question is how is this any different from just stamping your image on card stock? Looking at your video it just appears to be a stamped image but with a lot more work involved. Your cards are beautiful.

[@kiminalaska9363]

Maybe you say something later in the video but is there a reason why you tape the paper to the magnetic base and then taped the sentiment plates to the top plate instead of the other way around? Just curious

[@dingfriesaredone]

Precious little voice

[@CraftyToad70]

Too cute! Is Jellybean a leftie? Or ambidextrous at this age?

[@kathrynfrantz7091]

Ambidextrous, is she? Used both hands to color.❤

[@suzanherrington8316]

🎉😊😂❤
