I absolutely LOVE this collection. Each & every Spring I look forward to my Poppies coming up and blooming about mid May, I think they might be the highlight of spring for me along with everything that had gone dark and drab during the winter greening up again. Your Poppies could not look any more realistic. WELL DONE Yana, this collection is spectacular !!! As to the panels you colored, I absolutely adore the ones with your DIY ink pads, that golden, peachy red background made for gorgeous card backgrounds regardless if you then colored your poppies with one color or multiple colors, they were all beautiful. I'm generally more of a fan for dramatic dark backgrounds too so the ones you made with the black backgrounds were stunning, the one you showed last with the double pressed black and the Poppies themselves colored with Copic markers was absolutely spectacular, so bright & showy and the panel looked like genuine authentic Poppies.
Congratulations on another wonderful collection! The poppy reverse BetterPress plate is as stunning as the peony. Love the concept of a coordinating stencil set. With the poppies colored or not, the effect is dramatic and gorgeous. Reminds me of expensive wallpaper. The final red poppies on the black background... wow. Just wow!
Stunning collection Yana! I love it! That last background with the red poppies is outstanding and definitely your signature design! Congratulations on a new beautiful collection!
When I saw this poppy set of dies etc my eyes popped my jaw dropped and I knew I had to have it! It hasn’t arrived yet but I am watching for the mail truck so I can jump to it! Thanks for the assorted ways to use this set. It’s all so beautiful how can we fail? Thx Yana!!!!
My goodness Yana... What a Fantastic Bundle. And even though the lighter backgrounds are not your favorite, Dang girl... I live the yellow /clementine colored card soooo much! And, thank you for sharing your tip to make sure the ink pads needs a little kick start by adding some re-inker before inking up the press plate. Sigh.... I love your work and product designing
That cleanup tissue is brilliant, I need to remember that. Cool for tags and what not. Can do without better press to, add other machine here and husband will most likely strangle me with all the menu's lol
Awww, thank you! I hope you di give it a try. BetterPress is a wonderful tool and the new products coming out fir BetterPress make crafting such and enjoyable process and elevate our cards ❤️
What a lovely collection. I saw Ruth Hamilton using this collection and her "makes" were amazing. Your tips and techniques certainly will help to make our projects come out as lovely as yours. Thanks so much.
Sadly no, we did try to do a stencil for that plate, but when it comes to the manufacturing process, the stencil needs to be designed first, before the plate. So it's impossible to do a stencil now that the plate has already been developed. Sorry!

Thx so much for tip about taping the magnetic chase in place for double runs.
That makes a big difference.
Love your work!
It does! I messed up a few backgrounds and decided I needed to fix the movement to prevent that from happening again 🙌
Yana it’s a stunning image! Congratulations!
Many thanks!

@@Yana.Smakula Im a manace with craftroom tools. Like one of those minions bending over and toppeling a mountain of stuff over with my feet lol
Oh my! They are stunning!
Thank you so much 🤩
Wow! I’ve resisted buying any betterpress products, but this collection just might inspire me to try it!
Awww, thank you! I hope you di give it a try. BetterPress is a wonderful tool and the new products coming out fir BetterPress make crafting such and enjoyable process and elevate our cards ❤️
I think the dark leaves on black looks fabulous.
I do, too! The brighter green (to me) is too pale against the black.
i love this collection!
Thank you!! 🩷
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
How gorgeous! Maybe go back to the dark leaves and add white pigment ink over top!
Ohh that's an awesome idea!
Poppies are one of my favorite flowers and this collection is gorgeous! (I liked the dark green leaves)❤
Thanks so much 😊 so glad you love it!
What a lovely collection. I saw Ruth Hamilton using this collection and her "makes" were amazing. Your tips and techniques certainly will help to make our projects come out as lovely as yours. Thanks so much.
Oh thank you! I'll have to check out Ruth's projects
Such beautiful colors. Breathtaking
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them 🩷
beautiful
Many many thanks
OOHH can't wait to see this!! The cards look so pretty!!!!!
Awww, thank you so much ❤️
Beautiful, looks like the poppies in my garden. Got to get this set.
than you so much! I'm so glad you like them! Cannot wait to see how you'll use them.
I didn’t think you could use copies with Betterpress. It is nice to know because I prefer Copics
Oh yes! You can use other inks, some that are compatible with Copics and safely use alcohol markers
Yay! I have this set now❤
yay! Cannot wait to see how you'll use it :)
Beautiful collection. Wondering if you used the Better Press paper. I was understanding that that paper didn’t work so great with alcohol makers.
It does absorb A LOT OF INK. but yes, I did use betterpress paper. You'll just need to keep in mind that it takes a ton of ink
Love the Poppies with the stencil set. I have the Peony press plate. Might there be stencils coming for it as well?
Sadly no, we did try to do a stencil for that plate, but when it comes to the manufacturing process, the stencil needs to be designed first, before the plate. So it's impossible to do a stencil now that the plate has already been developed. Sorry!
Oh, so pretty!! What colors did you use to color the flowers on your tiger/apricot cards with the stencil? You just mention the black ones. Thanks!
I did not write them down, and I don't remember, sorry!
Can you use the better press system with any other die cutting machine besides the platinum 6?
Yes. You may have to add a shim but don't force the unit thru your cutter. Good luck.
I love this system!
Yes, compatible with many other machines. There's a compatibility chart on the Spellbinders website. What machine do you have?
I have electric cutters, Anna griffin empress, and Gemini.
