I'm doing my best to keep up with my plan for two videos a month, one haul and one other. It's taken me a while to get round to this one as despite the antibiotics, which cleared up the main infection, my tonsillitis lingered in the form of earache and a bad cold, and then everyone go upset tummies - it's been a wild 6 weeks!
But, it's here before the end of the month and I hope you find it interesting. I'm using my Letterpress which comes out maybe once a year for a play. It still works, despite the large crack in the top plate....In my December haul video, I showed the new supplies I'd managed to get at a reasonable price from the USA, so I got it out to have a good play.
These are the panels I made.
And the video process is here or on my YT channel:
I particularly love the floral background panel. I've used it with the Altenew layering dies which came free with Simply Cards and Papercraft issue 174. Last time I used this panel, it was with the Altenew layering stamp with also came free with Simply Cards and Papercraft. You can read about it in the blog post Magazine Makes #2 - Altenew Roses.
I really like these inks, but they aren't as vibrant as the sticky tube ink that comes with the kit, which is a shame, but they are so much easier to clean and don't take a long time to dry, which can happen if you use too much of the other.
Been good to get a whole lot more cards added to my stash! Thank you for stopping by - it is always appreciated. Happy Crafting Everyone! :)

I love how you made the panels in to cards, Ruth! Love all the cards you made but the Altenew rose die goes particularly well with the floral background you made. I really love the cake with the sunburst background too, they are great for make cards in particular, I think xx
I love all them. The roses are very beautiful, but the burst ones are just perfect for so many cards. I might look into getting one of these, they look fun to use x
LOVE these makes Ruth!! Can't watch the video I'm afraid (trying to be good) LOL Have a wonderful weekend my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

Such eye candy, Ruth! Love letterpress though I've never truly done it. So classy. And you get Altenew product as freebies in your mags. Wowzers. Lucky! Hope you're feeling better by now. This winter's been a stinker.
LOVE what you made with these fabulous panels Ruth! Especially the way you used the floral ones! Have a great day my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx
