I like the 5 X 7 cards because they are more substantial and there is no difference in mailing them in Canada. It usually goes by weight and thickness. To me it's worth it to spend more mailing for something handmade. The card is lovely Nancy. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us
Great card Nancy. I really liked how the triangle formation made the card look. The addition of the gems took it to the next level. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I usually do an A2 size. If I am doing hand delivery then I will do the larger size card sometimes
Your card is beautiful! Poppies are one of my favorite flowers; they remind me of my mother. It did get the BetterPress for Christmas. I make all different size cards but the mini slim line is my favorite right now
I am a Poppy fanatic so this card is a home run for me. I even named my black lab Poppy. It was a learning day for Granny watching you color with Zigs using just the water brush and picking up the color off the glass mat. Why didn't I think to try that? Cause I am old and have a hard time getting out of my own box! LOL I love to paint with watercolors so I thought Zigs would be so fun...total struggle for me as they are so concentrated and I can't get them to dilute enough when painting. Can't wait to try your method...looks like the way to go. Love this card. The majority of cards I make are A2; but, I never hesitate to make the size according to how I need the background to fit the design. Then I just make my own envelopes to fit tall my odd ball sized cards with the WRM envelope board. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. Granny in Minnesota
I normally make A2 cards and I never color them as I don’t have the talent BUT I watched this video and - game changed! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Happy New Year to you and yours, Nancy🎉📮Love this larger BetterPress Poppy plate as I prefer 5x7. This plate looks like a vintage botanical. Wouldn’t it be great to see Spellbinders produce a vintage botanicals series of flowers done in this 5x7 size? Add in a mini plate like the sentiments with its genus/species as an option for the print. Your water coloring is lovely. And the matting’s perfect. Thanks!
Happy New Year Nancy! Your card is gorgeous! I like the larger sized cards every now and again but I prefer the regular sized cards…thanks for the review!
This is a gorgeous card, Nancy! This design would look lovely with some black, or silver foil as well, I love seeing how the plates could be used in different ways not just with the foils, you could also use it just as a texture, no ink, no foil - though this probably wouldn't show up on camera! I wonder if the foiling friends sheets that Tracy made might work to protect the bed of the machine from the ink, though I think I would do most of the inking away from the machine to keep it as clean as possible. I often make either 5x7", or A2, but if I'm giving someone a card, rather than mailing it, I sometimes like to make non-standard sizes, I used to do them with a ruler and a set of envelope templates, but with my Scan 'n' cut I can make lots of different shapes and sizes.
@@NancyStamps Or a bit of scrap paper really, it would keep the plate and machine clean and prevent transfer of the ink from the machine to the paper, until you are ready to print and it is easier to clean up too.
🎉Happy New Year! I usually make A2 cards but I've been debating whether I should be switching to 5x7 to help use up my paper stash or to keep being frugal with my paper. I wanted to try a no buy this year, but I'm really tempted by this plate. It's too hard for the start of the new year. 😂
I would definitely make a 5x7 card. I’ve been doing larger cards and making some paper stands so they can stand up. I really like doing it. Can’t wait for this plate to come. Thank you Nancy. Happy New Year

Happy News Nancy, I am a 6x6 and a 5x7 card crafter. I really appreciate that Spellbinders embossing folders are 6x8. Thanks for the tutorial! 🤠🤠

Great card Nancy❤
Beautiful card ! Looks great angled .. I like seeing more 5x7
So beautiful! Thank you for my first video of the year. Happy New Year!!🎉
Bright, beautiful card. I like making A6 and A7 (5x7) cards. This would be perfect those sizes. ❤ Have a happy and healthy New Year! 🎉
Loved your video. I make mostly 5x7 cards and learned how simple the ink blending is on this card. Thank you.

Love the new plate! And your nails are gorgeous!❤

Beautiful card. Convinced me I wanted to do the monthly. 😂
Beautiful card!!
Happy New Year Nancy! Thanks for the 5x7 card
I usually make 5x7 cards. The people I make them prefer this size, as it’s more like store bought cards.
Great card Nancy! My go to size card is 5x7, so I loved seeing you make this size card. Happy New Year!
Gorgeous card. Happy New Year!
I will occasionally make a 5x7 card but enjoy the size of A2 cards best. Very pretty card.
Happy New Year from Michigan!!!
Happy New Year! A2 for me. Such a pretty card❤

She has discontinued that. You can use a piece of press and seal.

I prefer 5x7 because people seem to like them better but I still make A2 because it is convenient. I do both.
Thank you Nancy. I'm a 5x7 girl and really appreciate Spellbinder's larger dies and folder. This set is fabulous
Beautiful! Thanks for the shout out!
A2 mostly. For the grandkids.
Really great card. Happy New Year Nancy! Wishing you and your family a healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year!
🎉Happy New Year!
I usually make A2 cards but I've been debating whether I should be switching to 5x7 to help use up my paper stash or to keep being frugal with my paper.

I like 5x7
I would definitely make a 5x7 card. I’ve been doing larger cards and making some paper stands so they can stand up. I really like doing it. Can’t wait for this plate to come. Thank you Nancy. Happy New Year
I mainly make A2 cards since I can get 2 cards from one sheet of cardstock.
Love it!!
I love the 5X7 cards. Can you purchase the better press plate and not be signed up as a kit member?
Only if they have leftovers when then Club is over.
Do I need to wait till Jan 6 to joing the Bestpress Club?
If you are not a member of any other clubs, yes.
Can you use alcohol ink markers using the letterpress betterpress inks on the base for the card?
No. Don’t do it. The cotton card stock soaks it up too fast, very hard to blend. Water color is truly the best way to
You can but they don't blend
What paper did you use to letter press the plate?
The Spellbinders Betterpress paper I cut from 8 1/2 x 11 to smaller.
