Hello Yana, I was lucky to see you at Doe@ding and saw the beautiful cards. I asked you that i had troubles getting the hotfoil plate out of the machine and you told me that there was a youtube video on Spellbinders on how to fix this problem. But i can't find it, can you give me the link?
Thank you - thank you for designing the repeating pattern on the Poinsettia Plate!!!! That extends the use so much. I'm one of those people double foiling/pressing the A2 plates for larger cards and backgrounds! I hope that becomes a standard feature on all background plates!
Wow... Those panels are so beautiful. I love the pine tree branches press plate. Will be looking for that one for sure And the new poinsettia press plate is also so gorgeous. And look at all those panels.... ❤❤❤ Glad you had fun in the Netherlands Yana. I'm sorry I missed ya
Rewatching and noticed that when you were adding the ink onto your plate, the plate didn’t move on the magnetic plate. Are you putting on the ink that light that it doesn’t move or did you adhere tape to get it to stay without moving.
Sounds like you had a fun trip and certainly taught many techniques to the attendees. Loved the cards. Thank the Lord for making BetterPress plates and someone realizing that you could also foil with them. Saves tons of money and they are so pretty. Thank you for sharing your trip highlights with us.
Thank you so much for making it possible to use your release for those of us who like making 5 x 7 cards!! Fantastic idea to make it so we can align the design!! Can’t wait to try it!
Hi Yana I’m glad you made it back from the Netherlands safely. You made a lot of beautiful cards!! Thank you for your videos I know you’re busy. If you get a moment, if you could, let us know what better press inks you used on your poinsettia with the black background. I think this is the most stunning card!! It just screams happy holidays!! Thank you
What were you referring to when you said this is how to have a solid black background without using black ink? Is there a video showing the press plate that makes the solid color. I apologize if I misunderstood ❤
Your card designs are so beyond fabulous! I wish i could create at your level, but you’re a professional and I’m a hobbyist. I keep reminding myself. 😊 I wanted to mention that i didnt recognize your pix in the thumbnail at first glance! You look so beautiful in your fall colors and new glasses. ❤
Thank you so much! It's a temporary hair color 🧡. And the glasses I need to sometimes wear as I suffer from eye inflammation and the infection comes back from time to time
So sad that I’m still on holiday when you are in Spijkenisse! 🥲Whished that I could have met you, I am a big big fan of you🤩 Hope you enjoy your stay in the Netherlands. Maybe you’ll be back another time😊🤞🏼
