Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System - You will love this new way to craft with the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System. This system is very easy to use and creates images that look as if they have been letterpressed. This amazing system includes a Chase, a Platen, three shims, BetterPress Cotton Card Panels, a roll of yellow Best Ever Craft Tape, BetterPress black ink, and a BetterPress Press Plate with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and the sentiment "to my favourite person". The Chase is the main piece that comes with a magnetic platform to hold the press plate and three shims that go underneath the platform. The platen is the clear top plate with the grids for card sizes to which you attach the card panel. The BetterPress Cotton card panels measure 4.25" x 5.5", you get five sheets each of three colours, Porcelain, Bisque, and Pebble. The Best Ever Craft Tape measures 0.625" x 180". This BetterPress System can be used with leading manual die cutting machines including the Big Shot, or the Spellbinders Platinum and Platinum 6 die cutting machines (all sold separately).
Learning how to use this system is relatively easy. You simply place the three shims on the base of the Chase and layer the magnetic insert over the shims. Place the BetterPress Press Plate on the Chase, using the registration lines to determine the correct placement. Place your card panel on the underside of the Platen and use the Best Every Craft Tape to secure it in place. Open up your BetterPress ink pad, and lightly tap the raised ink pad across the Press Plate, making sure it is well-inked. Align the Platen to sit on the four corner spring pins on the Chase, but do not press down. Place your sandwich into your manual die cutting machine and run through. Carefully remove your sandwich and then remove the card panel from the Platen. If it does not have enough ink, simply repeat the process. You can now colour your image with your favourite crafting mediums and finish making your card or other paper crafting project.
