BetterPress Magnolia Florals

Hello Friend! I’m so glad that you stopped by! Today, I’m sharing a card using various products, including the BetterPress Letterpress System. I’ve had my BetterPress system for quite a while, but haven’t used it too much until recently. Not too long ago, I posted a black and white card design for Simon Says Stamp, and I really loved it and wanted to try another black and white design. So, let’s run through the details of this one.

To begin, I used the SSS Etched Magnolia Blossom to cut two flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and I cut a few leaves using the SSS Windswept Leaves from the same cardstock. I then did some very light ink blending on the flowers using C&9th Dove ink. I did go back and cut the centers of the flowers using black cardstock, because I liked the contrast. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers using liquid glue.

For the background, I used the Spellbinders So Grateful For You Press Plate, black ink and a BetterPress A2 card panel. I inked up the plate and ran it through the die cutting machine to make the impression. I did end up trimming the panel down ever so slightly and mounted that onto a black cardstock panel.

I thought the panel needed a frame, so I used the PFS Folk Edge Rectangles and cut one of those from black cardstock and glued it to the background panel. Moving on to the sentiment, I used the SSS XL Love Greetings and stamped on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set that using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the coordinating die to trim that out, along with two additional cuts for a stacked sentiment.

Let’s assemble this card! I adhered the sentiment in the center of the panel using liquid glue, and arranged the leaves adhering those with glue as well. The flowers were then adhered atop the leaves using foam tape for a little added dimension. Everything was then adhered to the card base using dot tape runner. To finish up, I added some clear drops for additional interest.

That finishes up this one! Like I said, I’ve had my BetterPress for a while now, but am just starting to use it. Mainly because I ordered some sentiments for it, and have really been enjoying those. I need to order some more cover plates, as I really like the look of those. I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay awesome Friend!
