Hello Therese! I can hear those lovely birds in the background, so enjoyable!! I'm not really interested in the betterpress but I am glad to see so many ways to use it. The koi fish card is so pretty. It's my favorite. Question: Do the foam type ink pads put ink past the raised edges of the die and then possibly transfer onto the card when it is pressed? TFS!!

[@lostinpaper]

I will have to check it out, I've only tried it with the 'harder' style ink pads like the BetterPress ink, Obsidian, Altenew Fresh Dye Inks and Versafine Clair... I will have to experiement more lol.

Great recap on the better press system. all my questions answered. Having been waiting on buying one but you're making me a believer. Gorgeous, gorgeous cards and I love the results. Cheers

[@lostinpaper]

So glad you like the cards Lisa, I have been throroughly enjoying the results, but have some more ideas swimming around in my head lol.

[@cottageallsorts]

Both cards are fabulous! You’ve inspired me Therese to start using my Betterpress 🤔🤭

[@lostinpaper]

How wonderful Jodie, can't wait to see what you make!

[@TheresaCalderini]

I always love watching your videos! I hadn’t thought of using regular color cardstock so I’ve got to give that a try! I especially like the koi card, especially with the inked background!❤️

[@lostinpaper]

So glad you liked these cards Theresa, thanks so much for taking the time to visit and for your lovely comments x

[@icardeveryone01]

Why wouldn't you? It's the best instant gratification - and I've experienced perfect results every time! I love the Betterpress ink the very most and it comes in such wonderful colors now. Loving this plate, Therese - it's now on my wishlist! Loving your Koi and underwater pond scene! SO clever, my friend! =]

[@TCreates3601]

I just LOVE your style. Thanks for sharing your talent!! I love all of your cards, but the leaves and Koi is gorgeous.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much!

[@57bev]

Cannot choose a favourite Therese….they’re both gorgeous! Thanks so much for the tips. ❤

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! Thank you so much Bev x

I prefer the one with the goldfish.

[@lostinpaper]

That was my fave too!

[@mandy.austin]

i love the better press but here's my tip: You can use any paper and any ink BUT for the best results I use hot or coldpress watercolour paper - hot press if you want smooth paper. I just use any ink in whatever colour I want to use and they all work beautifully. If you don't get the results you want, add paper underneath where you place the shims - I ended up buying two spare mylar shims, and I sometimes use them in my diecutting machine as well..

[@lostinpaper]

I've thought about adding extra layers for a better impression, I would have added it either beneath the paper or above the plate. Which shim are you saying Mandy, I am excited for this hack!

[@karengallup8625]

I think they both look nice but I prefer the goldfish one..

[@lostinpaper]

That was my fave too Karen!
