One of the questions we heard a lot at the recent Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show, when introducing the newest die templates, was “do these work with the others?” Meaning, do the new die templates fit the dies already in the Nestabilities line? They were referring to the inverted scalloped and deckled edge die templates. The answer to that question is YES!

This photo compares the Classic Rectangles, Scalloped Rectangles, Deckled Rectangles and Labels. These die templates can be mixed and matched. The sizes are approximately the same, which will give you the 1/4″  increments you know and love from the Nestabilities line of die templates. For the sake of these photos, I used all the “small” sizes of these sets.

See how well they look when put together, mixed within the sets?  Gosh, I could have stayed up all night playing with all the sets, but I do need my beauty sleep, so I stopped here.

The same is true for the Long Rectangles and their partners, the Long Scalloped and Long Deckled Rectangles.

And here are two pieces that would embellish a card or scrapbook page beautifully.

If I were a teacher, and I had to grade them on playing well with others, I’d give the Nestabilities an A+!

The following die templates will be sent to her door as soon as the product is in the warehouse:

When Spellbindersâ„¢ contacted Jennifer, she had this to say:

I’ve been using Spellbinders products for about two years now. I love them. They are incredibly easy and versatile tools in my crafting supplies that I do not go a day without using. Seriously! WOW! To think I’ll actually be able to pick and choose from all of these fabulous new sets. My mind will truly be boggled but I’ll deal with that, don’t you worry! Again, thank you so much! WOW! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Jennifer

Well, It’s hard to believe it is over. We had such a blast sharing all the templates with you and now you have seen the whole release.

Just an aside: If you are planning to apply for the Design Team for 2009, your application is due no later than 11:59 Central Standard Time on February 1st. So get it all polished off today and send it in…

Cheers, Eli

Well, lets try this link for the third time. Geez, this is embarrasing! I guess I just lost my chance at the design team since I can’t even make an accurate link! I’m really not this computer inept! LOL! I wish you had a way of deleting my own comments on your post. LOL! Anyhow, hopefully this is the right link and if this one doesn’t work, I give up! LOL! But I guarantee you, the post is there! LOL! http://amyscreativepursuits.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-spellbinders-paper-arts-design.html

Well, AMY. Your post did work, so I guess the third time is the charm. Please e-mail me at spellbinderseditor@yahoo.com and we’ll get that prize right out to you.

Congrats and thanks again to everyone for playing and for sharing our contest info on your blogs.

Cheers,
