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.

Yana's Tulips Collection Introduction with Yana Smakula

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.
