Let’s Celebrate Card

Step 1: Prepare the Porcelain Card Panel

Tape an A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) Porcelain card panel centered on the plastic Betterpress top. This will be your starting point.

Step 2: Set Up the Registration Template

Tape the registration template to the magnetic insert on the chase. This ensures your design aligns perfectly.

Step 3: Align the “Celebrate” Plate

Line up the “Celebrate” plate to the template. Make sure it’s positioned correctly to achieve the desired look.

Step 4: Apply the Ink

Ink up the plate with gold pigment ink. Ensure the plate is evenly coated for a crisp and vibrant print.

Step 5: Run Through the Die Cutting Machine

Run the chase through the die cutting machine. This will transfer the inked design onto your Porcelain card panel.

Step 6: Dry the Ink

Remove the panel from the Betterpress top. If needed, use a heat tool to dry the ink quickly and prevent smudging.

Step 7: Attach the Background Panel for the Let’s Celebrate Card

Attach an A2 size patterned paper background panel centered on a white A2 card base using a tape runner. This will serve as the backdrop for your design.

Step 8: Prepare and Attach the Black Card Panel

Trim the black card panel to 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″. Attach it centered on the colored panel with a tape runner. This adds a layer of depth and contrast to your card.
