Yana’s Tulips Collection Introduction with Yana Smakula
Spring is a season of renewal, color, and fresh inspiration — and the Yana’s Tulips Collection was designed to capture exactly that. Inspired by the iconic tulip fields and windmills of the Netherlands, this new Spring 2026 release brings together scenic landscapes, layered florals, and heartfelt sentiments in a cohesive BetterPress-focused collection.
If you love creating detailed A2 card fronts with depth, movement, and vibrant color, this collection was thoughtfully designed to make that process both intuitive and inspiring.
A Spring Collection Rooted in Dutch Inspiration
Traveling to the Netherlands has always been creatively energizing for me. The endless tulip fields, colorful windmills, crisp skies, and charming countryside scenes leave a lasting impression. This collection translates those moments into BetterPress plates and layering stencils that allow you to recreate that feeling on paper.
Tulips and Daffodils Plate
The Tulips and Daffodils BetterPress Plate fills an entire A2 card panel, making it ideal for bold floral backgrounds. The line-art design offers flexibility — press with ink for a classic letterpress look or hot foil for added elegance and shine.
Tulips and Daffodils Plate + Stencil Bundle
Pairing the plate with the Layered Tulips and Daffodils Stencils makes coloring quick and approachable. The layering guides you through petals, centers, and foliage, allowing you to build dimension with simple ink blending. Soft pinks, bright yellows, and fresh greens create a timeless spring palette, but the design adapts easily to more dramatic or monochromatic color schemes.
Windmills and Tulips Plate
The Windmills and Tulips BetterPress Plate brings movement and storytelling to your cards. Designed as a complete A2 scene, it includes windmills in motion, soft clouds, background greenery, and layered tulip fields in the foreground.
Windmills and Tulips Plate + Stencil Bundle
The coordinating Layered Windmills and Tulips Stencils simplify the coloring process while allowing you to build realistic depth across the sky, landscape, and flowers. From traditional green windmills against blue skies to more whimsical color combinations, this plate encourages creativity.
The Bouquet of Hugs Sentiments
The Bouquet of Hugs Sentiments set was created specifically to complement the floral and scenic imagery while remaining versatile enough for standalone use. Each sentiment includes a coordinating die for added dimension and polish.
Sentiments include:
• Missing you dearly
• Sending you a bouquet of hugs
• Thank you for helping me grow
• Your kindness makes the world blossom
• Wishing you a birthday that blooms as beautifully as a tulip in spring
The thoughtful phrasing pairs naturally with tulips and daffodils, reinforcing themes of growth, kindness, and celebration.
Dimensional Detail with Yana’s Tulip Die Set
While this collection centers around BetterPress, the Yana’s Tulip Die Set adds a dimensional element for those who love layering and texture. Available only as part of the Yana’s Tulips I Want It All! Bundle by Yana Smakula.
We can’t wait to see how you bring these windmills, tulips, and daffodils to life in your next cardmaking project.
