Betterpress Card Tutorial: There is No Place Like Home Card 

 

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cut a 6×6 Card from black and white cardstock.
  1. Cut a piece of paper from the pattern sheets in the collection to mat onto the card. Cut a frame from this 

piece of paper. I used the lines on my guillotine as a guide to cut the frame.

  1. Emboss a piece of black and white cardstock using the Spellbinders Field of Poppies embossing folder.

Cut to fit the frame.

  1. Black cardstock: Highlight the top section of the embossed image with metallique wax. 

White cardstock: Ink the top section of the embossed image with a red inkpad.

  1. Adhere the embossed image and frame to the 6×6 card.
  1. Adhere the ephemera pieces, die-cuts and stamped sentiment on the side of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Cardmaking Tips & Tricks (BetterPress + Embossing Success!)

  • Tip: Press + Emboss = Major WOW Factor
    Pairing BetterPress plates with an embossing folder background adds instant texture and a professional finish.

  • Tip: Try Color Variations for Quick Coordination
    Switching between metallic wax on black cardstock and ink blending on white cardstock gives you two unique looks using the same folder.

  • Tip: Use a Paper Frame to Keep Layers Clean & Crisp
    A simple frame cut from patterned paper makes the card look polished and helps guide placement.

  • Tip: Keep Sentiments Visible
    Place your BetterPress sentiment along the side or on top of embellishments so it doesn’t get lost in the layers.

  • Tip: Don’t Overthink It—Just Have Fun!
    This is the perfect project to experiment with dimension, texture, and bold color combos.

 

We hope this Wonder of Oz BetterPress card tutorial inspires you to create your own magical handmade cards using the Spellbinders x Graphic 45 collaboration dies and BetterPress plates! Tanya’s project is a beautiful reminder that a few simple techniques—layering patterned paper, adding texture with embossing, and finishing with a stunning sentiment—can completely transform your cardmaking.
