Impressions with BetterPress Plates (Two Ways) | Impresión con la Placa BetterPress (Dos formas)

Cha LionArt November 09, 2024
Hello, artists!
In the previous post, I used the BetterPress plate from the Amaryllis Christmas collection by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders with the Glimmer Hot Foil to create different colored backgrounds (dark, metallic, and white), adding bright and soft tones to them. However, this time we've done something completely different: flat impression and dimensional impression. For this technique, a manual die-cutting machine is needed, as the key lies in the positioning of the plate and the cardstock.

¡Hola, artistas! 
En la publicación anterior, utilicé la placa BetterPress de la colección Amaryllis Christmas de Yana Smakula para Spellbinders con la Glimmer Hot Foil para crear diferentes fondos de colores (oscuro, metálico y blanco), añadiéndoles colores llamativos y suaves. Sin embargo, esta vez hemos hecho algo totalmente distinto: impresión plana e impresión en relieve. Para esta técnica se necesitaría una troqueladora manual ya que la clave está en la posición de la placa y la cartulina.

To achieve clearer results, we opted to use metallic cardstock.

Para poder ver los resultados de manera más nítida, se ha optado por utilizar cartulina metalizada.

Flat Impression | Impresión plana


We used the Spellbinders Platinum SIX die-cutting machine and its universal platform system, which specifies which base to use for each technique. In this case, we placed the following in our machine:
        1. Base A.
        2. Base B.
    3. We placed the shiny side of the metallic cardstock along with the beautiful design of the BetterPress plate and positioned it on Base B FACE DOWN, meaning we could see the back of the BetterPress plate.
        4. Mat D.
        5. Adapter E.
        6. We ran it through the die-cutting machine.

Nosotros hemos utilizado la troqueladora de Spellbinders, Platinum SIX, y su sistema de bases universales, que especifica para qué técnica se usa cada una de ellas. En este caso, colocamos lo siguiente en nuestra troqueladora:

  1. Base A.
  2. Base B.
  3. Ponemos la parte brillante de la cartulina metalizada junto con el diseño bonito de la placa BetterPress, y lo posicionamos sobre la Base B HACIA ABAJO, es decir, viendo la parte trasera de la placa BetterPress.
  4. Mat D.
  5. Adaptador E.
  6. Pasamos por la troqueladora.


The result is lovely, as it leaves the design slightly embossed. To highlight this embossing, we used a sanding block (specifically for crafts) and gently sanded the raised areas, whitening the embossed part of the design.

El resultado es bonito, ya que queda la impresión del diseño con un ligero relieve. Para resaltar este relieve, se utilizó un taco de lija especial para manualidades y se lijó suavemente la parte más elevada, dejando blanqueada esa área del diseño.


Dimensional Impression | Impresión en relieve



For this second type of printing, we used the same die-cutting machine and platform system, but we placed the cardstock and the BetterPress plate differently:
  1. Base A.
  2. Base B.
  3. We placed the shiny side of the metallic cardstock along with the beautiful design of the plate and positioned it on Base B FACE UP, meaning we could see the back of the cardstock this time.
  4. Mat D.
  5. Adapter E.
  6. We ran it through the die-cutting machine.

Para esta segunda forma de impresión, utilizamos la misma troqueladora y el mismo sistema de bases, pero colocamos la cartulina y la placa BetterPress de manera diferente:

  1. Base A.
  2. Base B.
  3. Ponemos la parte brillante de la cartulina metalizada junto con el diseño bonito de la placa, y lo posicionamos sobre la Base B HACIA ARRIBA, es decir, en este caso, viendo la parte trasera de la cartulina.
  4. Mat D.
  5. Adaptador E.
  6. Pasamos por la troqueladora.




The result of this impression is more impressive, as the embossing is much more defined and raised than the previous method. To accentuate this design, we also gently sanded the raised parts, being careful not to damage the metallic cardstock.

El resultado de esta impresión es más impactante, ya que el relieve es mucho más definido y pronunciado que en la impresión anterior. Para destacar este diseño, también lijamos suavemente las partes más elevadas, con cuidado de no dañar la cartulina metalizada.

What do you think of these two impressions? We want to highlight that BetterPress plates are quite versatile, as they can be used for various card-making techniques: for BetterPress, which they were specifically designed for, for the Glimmer Hot Foil System, and they can also be used with a die-cutting machine to emboss the design. What do you think of this idea?

¿Qué les han parecido estas dos maneras de hacer impresiones? Queremos destacar que las placas BetterPress son bastante versátiles, ya que sirven para diferentes técnicas de tarjetería: para la BetterPress, que fue diseñada con este fin; para la Glimmer Hot Foil System; y se pueden utilizar con una troqueladora para realizar impresiones del diseño. ¿Qué les parece esta idea?

Thank you very much, and we’ll see you soon.

Muchas gracias y nos vemos muy pronto.
