Reviews

Checkout Use on Envelopes

"I put off buying the betterpress for sometime. I have used the press plates for foiling and making and impression. They are stunning themselves. But, I bought the copperplate sentiments to use on envelopes. They were beautiful as an impression, but occasionally would tear because envelopes are thinner than cardstock. So I had the points and decided to get the betterpress. I have used it as intended and I agree with Jennifer Mcguire the images are stunningly crisp with one pass. But to be able to use it with envelopes make it all the better."

Why did I wait so long? Fantastic! Simple!

"Why did I wait so long to try the BetterPress Letterpress System? It’s fantastic! Should have tried it sooner! Took the Classic Mouse collection to get me to try it and now I’m hooked! It’s so simple and easy to use (at least with the Spellbinders ink and paper) and turns out such a fantastic product! Now I’ve started collecting many more BetterPress plates! Hahaha! Amazing product. If you haven’t tried yet… don’t wait any longer… just do it! Oh and I use it in my Sizzix Fold-a-way with no issues whatsoever. Love it!!"
