Fluttering Into Spring | DO NOT DO THIS W/ Your Spellbinders BetterPress

Hi Friends,

Today I am coming to you humbly with a BIG REVEAL. I was recording this video for the BetterPress Club Of the Month for Spellbinders below when I made a big mistake and realized I had cracked my BetterPress Platen. I did not want to hide this from you though because I knew it was so important to be transparent and share what I had learned. It is VERY important to me to be completely honest with all of you and knew this was so imoprtant to show and share.

I know Spellbinders has said it is very important to NOT USE Glimmer Plates inside the BetterPress because they can crack the platen. I did not realize that using a sticky mat like this would do this. In my prep for this video I had done it two or three times in the trial runs of using the sticky mat without any issues so I wanted to share my findings with all of you. Luckily this happened on screen and this happened and I am able to educate all of you which I strive to do on a daily basis in my work as a influencer in educating all of you in my YouTube videos. So here I am sharing this with you. 

I decided in the video right after this video that we would go ahead and press a second piece of BetterPress paper and we would do today's technique on this second piece and do a comparison and you know what?? I think the second one turned out better. 😃 You will actually have to watch the video to see it because the card I completed is actually the one I pressed before doing the video. Now lets take a look at the finished card....


Here are some of my bonus cards from the video also...
