HSN

Tuesday is the day to set your clock to remind you to be at home watching your TV or your computer…OR set your VCR, DVR, or other device to RECORD Spellbinders’ own Education Director, Kim Hupke. In two sessions, she’ll be showing off the merits of the Wizard Embossing and Die Cutting System AND some of our amazing die templates. Of course there will be artwork by our amazing Design Team to check out also.

Here is the schedule:

Tuesday, May 26 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Wednesday, May 27th 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time

Hey everyone. The party we’re throwing in our gallery at Splitcoaststampers.com is filling it with a ton of amazing art featuring Spellbinders’ die templates. It is fun to skip over there and see the new stuff. We are so excited. Everyone still has a few more days to upload one card, one layout and/or one altered project. If you do upload a project, you’ll need to use the following key words to make sure each project is included in the random drawing for the winner in each of the following categories:

Spellbinders_card

Spellbinders_layout

Spellbinders_altered

{Click on the above links to see what has already been uploaded. If you plan to upload in the categories above, use the underscore or it won’t find its way to our list.}

Please note: We would really appreciate it if everyone would upload projects to those specific “keywords” with only one per category. To be fair, we will count the first item per designer for each category.

Of course you may upload as many items as you’d like to the Splitcoast Stampers’ Spellbinders gallery (feel free to keyword it as Spellbinders) as you’d like but for this contest, just one per category…

If you have any questions, just comment here and we’ll do what we can to help us.

Thanks, Eli
