Hero Arts has just released their October Collection, Best Gift Ever. It’s an amazing set of products that work year round..unwrap yours today!

Here’s how I was inspired today:

Let’s chat about the Just for You card:

I decided to go clean and simple with this to really let the Letterpress plates do all the work.

I’ve been a bit smitten with the Leaf Betterpress Ink color. I love to use the Betterpress Cotton panels because I think it really shows the detailed impressions. Don’t forget to use the clear plastic template that is included in the set to help in the placement of the plates.

This card makes me smile because of the sentiment.

This is the time that I tell you that I put socks on my holiday wishlist. Do you know how much merino wool socks cost these days?

I started off with a Mint A2 panel and used the stencil to do a bit of ink blending with Fresh Lawn ink.

adhered that panel to the clear panel of the BetterPress Letterpress system.
I layered the clear template from the Wrap it Up set onto the Betterpress magnetic platform.
I placed the press plate on top of the clear panel and inked it up with the black ink. I always double check to make sure the press plate hasn’t moved.
Place the clear plastic panel on top of the magnetic platform and run it through the BetterPress Letterpress system.

For the sentiment:

This card will also be tagged for my self-challenge, Merry & Bright Monday. I love seeing it grow on instagram.
