For the past month, Spellbindersâ„¢ has been hosting a creative party for a bunch of very enthusiastic crafters at Splitcoaststampers.com. Designers were asked to use Spellbindersâ„¢ die templates and submit projects in three categories: cards, layouts and altered items.

What a fabulous response we had. All toll, over 170 projects were submitted. Today we are here to announce the winning entries (via random.org) from each category. Designers were added to the list, one time for each category they entered.

So, without further ado:

Card Category Winner is Pammyjo who submitted this card.

Layout Category Winner is buzsy who submitted this layout

Altered Item Category Winner is vdutchr who submitted this altered item

Each of the above crafters will receive $50 in Spellbindersâ„¢ die templates. If you are Pammyjo, Buzsy or Vdutchr, please send an e-mail to spellbinderseditor@yahoo.com.

Thanks to all who participated and filled the Splitcoaststampers gallery with some amazing projects featuring Spellbinders’ projects.

Until next time, Ciao! Eli

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
