Title: Heart Press
Post by: Nikki on May 01, 2010, 12:52:48 PM
I don't have much experience of using presses, I got my new heart press this morning and wondered if anyone has any hints and tips for using it or is it just PPP.
Thanks

Nikki ;D

Right, can't find it anywhere so I've put all the photos that I did for Magdalena Ruiz into a Flickr set.

These aren't the same photos that I used for the Beads & Beyond tutorial, but the outcome is the same!

I use the same method for all the heart presses I've tried.

Thats a really generous tutorial Julie, it makes using that press so much easier I bet, some of the new shapes take some working out
