Not ready to invest in the BetterPress yet? What if I told you there are other options to help YOU save, still use some supplies you already have AND create different looks using this machine…
I know that the ‘Letterpress’ look is not for everyone and whether it is or isn’t, don’t you think it is still FUN to stretch our supplies and see precisely what they can do… after all, we are crafters and always want to get the best bang for our buck.
So join me as I play in my LIVE video which you can see right HERE. Where I tried some fun techniques using products that you may not have thought of… I have added time stamps to take you to the techniques just in case you are not into the ‘waffle’ of a live video (I totally get that 🤣).
What did I do? I tried, Distress Ink, Versafine Clair, pigment inks…. different watercolour cardstocks including a very cheap one (check that one out!)… and a couple of other HOT techniques you may not have seen before!!!
I mention Dawn from WPlus9 and her video which you can see HERE. She is always an inspiration… and when I grow up I want to colour like her!
Did you MISS something? These are my other cards and videos where I used the BetterPress?
- My FIRST Impressions (smooshing technique)
- Sharing the gorgeous new Altenew Plates (watercolouring)
- Using Altenew inks and pencils
Whether you are ALL in, on the fence, or in the ‘no way’ category, I’ll bet you are still with me and interested to see where this exciting new tool will take us.
Let me know in the comments below if you have seen or know of any other great ways to use the BetterPress, OR tried other products with or without success, we ALL want to know 🥰. Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be back real soon with a new Holiday video, so keep an eye on your inbox for that!
