Hi Michelle. It's so nice to see you on the hop. Your cards are stunning and your little tag is adorable. Thank you for showing and explaining how to use the Better Press. I am so happy Altenew is making plates for use in the Better Press because Altenew knows everything about making beautiful flowers. I look forward to your next projects❤
Pretty cards! I love the black card with metallic ink. That is such a striking look!
I LOVE how you limited the colors. I'm NOT into rainbows, and it seems that just about every project is rainbow. So THANK YOU for a different color scheme!!!! It's so pretty and innocent...
Great to see Betterpress works well with Altenew watercolor paper. I love your ink blending over the designs. Very pretty.
Such lovely cards! I love having more examples of the kinds of cards that can be made with the BetterPress plates.

Beautifully done, Michelle! I loved your cards and while I had "buyer's remorse" for just a little while after I bought the BetterPress system, I'm glad now I splurged. I can hardly wait to see what Altenew comes out with because so far their press plates are gorgeous.
I can understand that, it’s a big investment, but I’m glad that you are now happy you got it. I hope you have as much fun with it as I have so far. Thank you for watching!
beautiful work, Michelle - love your cards - so pretty
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you!

It's great you're able to use the letter press plates for hot foiling too! 🤗
I agree, it’s great that they can be used in different ways. Thank you so much for watching!
Gorgeous cards. Will have to try those plates
Beautiful cards! thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!
Michelle, such pretty cards. The special Spellbinder’s inks were out of stock so thank you for showing that the new Altenew inks will work as an alternative.
Thank you so much. These inks do work really well. As I say in the video, just have a light hand when inking, but it’s nice to have the variety of option. Thank you so much for watching!
Great cards - especially liked the sunset colours on the blended one!
Thank you so much. They are beautiful colours!
Stunning cards! Thank you for letting us know you can use the plates for foiling!
Thank you so much! I have only tried the sentiments so far myself, but they worked beautifully for hot foiling. Thank you for watching!
What a lovely set of cards. I know some other bloggers have run into the same issue of the BetterPress ink getting muted when ink blending over it so they switched to doing the ink blending first. I like your suggestion of spritzing the finished panel with water.
Thank you so much. Yes, I saw that Mindy said the same thing. I did try ink blending first and you definitely get a better result but I find it much easier to see where I am ink blending when the image is already in place. I do think the water helps a bit though. Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful cards!
Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!
Beautiful cards Michelle! I love the one with the pool ink. The tag is my favorite for sure! Lovely projects!
Thank you so much! The tag is the first one I did and I thought the same, I really like how it turned out. Thank you so much for watching!
So beautiful! Love the fresh dye inks!
Thank you so much! I love them too! Thank you for watching!
