Letterpress plates (from Holiday mini)

[Rubber Stamp Nut]

I just saw somewhere that the Letterpress plates from SU are on hold. Does anyone know anything about this? They look interesting and I'd like to try them.

Thanks!

Status quo on them. Haven't heard anything more. Perhaps they will be available on September 1.

Do they emboss, too, or just ink the paper? If they don't emboss, why wouldn't they just make a stamp? I am confused by this, and tired of products that do the same thing that other products- that I already own- do...

If they are like the Letterpress that is sold at craft stores it debosses.

The products in the mini are not available until Sept 1st. I was looking at them, but you have to use Craft Ink with them and you can't get full size pads anymore, expect for Neutrals. You have to get the stampin's spots and I'm not a fan of those.

It looks like they will also be selling un-inked craft pads so you can make your own, I think it's in this mini.

Will they work through a cuttlebug?

I would think that it would work in the Cuttlebug and I don't see why you would "have" to use craft ink. Maybe craft ink is supposed to give the best impression. That being said, you can do a similar technique with an embossing folder and ink pad. I think it's sometimes called the Cuttlebug Smoosh. There's You Tube videos of it.
