    Fun Floral Cards with the BetterPress Spring Collection

    January 20, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with the new BetterPress Spring Collection from Spellbinders.  The delicate floral images and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three pretty cards for a variety of occasions this spring. Muted Floral Sympathy Card I thought the dainty floral images in the Flower Stems Press Plate Set were so beautiful that I pulled these out first.  Here I inked them up in muted colors and created both a background and focal point for this easy sympathy card. Arrange the plates from the Flower Stems Press…

    Adding Color to BetterPress Images

    January 19, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hey there! Daniel West, here, with three fun projects from the BetterPress Spring Collection. When BetterPress came out in 2023, I felt like dancin’. The letterpress feel and look are super easy to achieve with this system and the results with just plain black and white ink and card make it easy to create a project without adding color to the images. But, you can get more out of your BetterPress plates if you pair them with coordinating stencils and alcohol markers. Coordinating stencils make adding color a breeze to these BetterPress Spring goodies. Here, I created two cards with stenciled-in colors and Copic Marker accents. The card in the…

    Hi there my Spellbinders’ friends!  My name is Jaycee Gaspar and I’m so excited to share three cards featuring the Pressed Posies Collection. This collection features eight sets with one of the products being a Wax Seal Stamp. Let’s focus on monochromatic cards centered around the Timeless Blooms Wax Seal Stamp with designer tricks on getting perfect single-tone letter-pressed cards.
