Fun Floral Cards with the BetterPress Spring Collection
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.

Adding Color to BetterPress Images
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…

Mixing and Layering Wax Beads to Level Up Your Seals
Hey there! Daniel West, here, with some great tips on mixing and layering wax beads to take your seals to the next level. If we graded this tutorial for difficulty, I would say it ranks a 5 out of 10. I prefer this method of layering seals to coloring them with a marker because it makes for a very sharp and clear seal impression with contrast. It also is permanent and won’t wipe off with your finger. Later in January, I will have a YouTube tutorial on my channel. Instructions for layering waxes on seals: Warm your seal a bit over the flame of your votive candle or just let…
