    Jennifer - I have watched your videos for years, and am always inspired by your creativity. I often find myself clicking on your links to supplies and tools to purchase the latest and greatest - and this video is no exception! THANK YOU for providing your reviews and techniques, I look forward to each video. ALSO, those of you who have been in the paper crafting world for a while might have the Lifestyle Letterpress plastic plates. THEY WILL WORK in this BetterPress system! You need to remove all three shims from the chase and use the adhesive sheets that typically came with the plates to temporarily adhere them to the platform. Sooooo much easier than the ink rolling you used to have to do! So excited to revive my old stash with this new tool!!

    When I first read about this tool I didn’t think I’d want it, but I decided to withhold judgment until I saw your demo. Now I want it!! Your thorough coverage of how to use the letterpress and all the different ways to use it did not disappoint! You’re amazing. Thanks, Jennifer!❤️❤️

    I am hoping that they come out with an elegant alphabet set. That would allow for gorgeous monogram cards. The grids on the chase would make it so easy to line up letters.

    Thanks for this awesome video, Jennifer. I quickly went from "I really don't think I need that" to "I have got to get one of these!" Your reactions were my exact reactions when you lifted the paper off the plate. So pretty! I love that Spellbinders is bringing back an old school printing technique from yesteryear, while giving it a modern twist and making it simple and easy to use. ❤

    Oh my, oh WOW! I saw my first video of this Betterpress machine this morning by Simon Hurley - and ordered it, more paper, and another plate right away. (I have been making cards for so many years that I am very eager to find NEW ways to make different types of cards. I’ve been searching for and making mostly new fun fold cards lately, just something to make my cards more interesting. This machine also fits the bill for me!)
    Now I’ve just watched your video with so many new techniques and beautiful photography that shows the debossed designs so clearly, and I’m even more excited that I purchased it….and bought many more things!
    Thank you for your wonderful, exciting, and informative tutorials! Everything that you have favorably reviewed that I have bought has been perfect for me!

    As soon as this tool was introduced I immediately said Yes. I’m a big Anna Griffin fan, who is a stationer/designer who has mentioned letterpress innumerable times. Thx, JMcG, for this, I look forward to receiving BetterPress soon! Your results were magnificent, classy and elegant!

    Your crafting tool reviews are some of my favorite videos on your channel. I purchased my first Platinum 6 after watching you review various die cutting machines.

    I was taught to use a letter press with a roller when I was in college. We made our own plates. When I received a text message from SB about it - I wondered if my etched plates would work with it - I sent SB an email asking for the thickness of their plates - I definitely think they will work by what they told me - but I decided shortly prior to their response to pre-order it, without knowing if it would be a good match or not. I felt it would be a good tool in my crafting arsenal to have. But their response that arrived 5 days later is just icing on the cupcake! 😀

    Hi Jennifer, I have one of these on order from the mom & pop reseller I go to. In the class I watched, you can replace the shims, bottom plate and cover plate with standard plates then you can die cut with it. You NEVER want to use the shims and plates that come with the unit for die cutting. You can also use it as a platform to stamp with our regular stamps. Washers from the hardware store work great to hold down the paper.

  • @absheff
    @absheff Рік тому +7

    I can't see the difference between this press and using a regular cutting die to make an impression. We can use our cutting dies machine and our cutting dies with a rubber mat to get the same results. You've shown it many times on your channel.

    • @lorisanford1967
      @lorisanford1967 10 днів тому

      Yes me too and I was wondering what makes it different than just using a stamp block and a stamp on paper I hope there's a difference cuz I bought one I did get a great deal on it though it'll be in soon but I don't know what the difference is after I buy it I'm thinking wait is this any different than when you already stamp ????

    • @lorisanford1967
      @lorisanford1967 10 днів тому

      Yes I agree and after I ordered it I thought did I really need this? What's the difference between stamping with this better then just stamping the old way with a stamping block and paper

  • @1stcandy
    @1stcandy Рік тому +2

    Thanks for sharing. I like hearing about products that can be used in paper crafting from someone that is experienced. I may not always purchase but it is nice to see it demonstrated with the pros and cons, so that I may make up my mind as to whether I should purchase or not or maybe put it on my "I want that" list.

    I have a particular fondness for "letterpress" having been an actual offset press operator who was also a real phototypesetter, and a by-hand technical illustrator + camera operator, all the trades supporting graphic design, all prior to the release of the personal computer (which seemed to make "everyone" into a graphic designer, lol...)
    LOVED hearing your authentic reaction.

  • @debbiebaker7613
    @debbiebaker7613 Рік тому +1

    Great demonstration! I was wondering......could those BetterPress plates work in the Spellbinders machine without the BetterPress machine? I have some plates from Anna Griffin that do the same thing with just my die cutting machine. I love all the plates that Spellbinders will be offering so I wouldn't have to purchase the whole bundle. I have a very small space to work in and another machine just won't fit. Thanks.

    Love that you can use dye inks with this system . Curious about using hammermill paper with this system or watercolor paper. Thanks so much for an excellent video as always.

  • @lisasisneros8200

    I've always loved the clean, elegant look of letterpress. It's exciting to see a product like this that can achieve the look so well! I may wait to see what designs they continue to come out with before taking the plunge. The fact that the dies can be used with foil it nice, too! That floral foil card was stunning!!

I was so excited when I saw the videos coming out of Creativation and pre-ordered the set from Spellbinders as soon as it was available on their site. I love the look of letterpress and am so impressed with how Spellbinders coordinates their devices to work together. Loved your "live" reactions to your first attempts. Your true joy in creating shines through. I also appreciate that you always stress that we don't have to have or even want all the new things. Thank you Jennifer for all you do. You are truly a blessing!
