Happy Sunday, crafty friends! Before heading out to reconnect with long-missed pals, I wanted to share my latest birthday card creation that pops with a unique blend of BetterPress Letterpress and Glimmer hot foiling. I love using these two techniques together—not only do they create stunning visuals, but they also showcase the versatility of press plates.
For this project, I used the vibrant Colorful Bold Splatters BetterPress set from Spellbinders—which is part of the Clubs Rewind sale at 25% off—to mix dynamic pastel splashes with dazzling gold foil accents. Let's dive into the creative process behind this must-make design!

Easy step by step instruction:
- Cut & fold an A2 card base from yellow cardstock.
- Using the registration guide, press the splatters into porcelain cotton paper in pastel yellow, pink & turquoise with a BetterPress letterpress system.
- Foil three smaller splatters in polished brass foil to the letterpress panel.
- Use a stitched rectangle die to trim the panel down with a polished edge.
- Mount the letterpress panel to the card base with foam adhesive.
- Press the sentiment into matching cotton paper with black ink using a BetterPress letterpress system.
- Diecut with a strip die, them mount to the card front with foam adhesive.
- Accent with gold pearls to finish.
This card is proof that even a technique-heavy project can come together quickly, yet still leave your recipient convinced you spent hours perfecting it. The blend of BetterPress and Glimmer hot foiling creates a stunning design in no time, and it’s the perfect inspiration for when you want to impress without the stress. Happy crafting!
