Reviews

Amazing kit even before the event happens

"It is easy to tell a lot of thought and details went into the theme and designing of this entire kit. After opening the kit upon arrival, I was immediately inspired to start creating with it. Just as with all Spellbinders dies, it is simple enough to follow the packaging picture example, and make some amazing detailed die cuts. Very happy I purchased the kit."

— Stephanie M. (5/5)

My First Weekender!

"This is such a beautifully curated collection. From the dies to the embossing folder and the paper selection. The box and the graphics are simply gorgeous. Elegant and mature. I am so looking forward to creating long-term with this collection."

— Liane P. (5/5)

2026 Weekender

"This kit is filled with fantastic dies like nothing I have in my collection, so I was excited to purchase it. The card designs outlined for the retreat classes are amazing, as are the instructors. My 4 rating stems from the fact that the cardstock provided is not sufficient or inclusive of what's required for the classes. Certainly we can substitute from out stash but if it doesn't match what's already used how good is that? A discount code to purchase cardstock was kindly provided but that's a cost on top of the expense of the class. So that was disappointing. Everything else is absolutely wonderful."

Great designs

"I can’t resist a tropical theme, and this kit delivers. I appreciate that the animals are not overly cartoonish and the plants are realistic. A versatile set!"

— Sheilah Q. (5/5)

The Weekender

"I love this kit. I have done most of my homework, for the upcoming class. My only dislike is that, I wish all the papers used in the descriptions, would of been included. I know many of us purchased, extra packs, which was fine. ."

— Linda P. (5/5)

Dies are great!

"The theme and dies are great. I didn’t give it 5 stars because the included paper is not enough to do the homework assigned for the classes."

— Debra H. (4/5)

love this

"I haven't attended the event and it will be my first spellbinders event. I did attend a hero arts one earlier this year and it was fantastic so I am expecting the same level as it is hosted by the mother company. The kit is lovely and the little ephemera pieces are such a sweet bonus of fun. Spellbinders dies are wonderful and these are just too cute. The line up for the event is fantastic and I am so excited. I am not working on the homework but my intention is to craft along as I can and follow as i can and then rewatch to finish up the fine details and things i didn't get to at the end. I did this with the hero arts event in Feb and it worked great. Love their cardstock and am happy to supply some from my stash so I can use up my stash even if it is not exactly what is called out. Would rather have a bit lower price and be able to use paper I already have than pay extra just for cardstock. I am happy to have the sample pack to see the colors and have an opportunity to use it and the discount code to buy more if I want it is great."

— Winona F. (5/5)

This kit is wild!

"I’m a huge fan of wild animals and think the dies are beautiful, I can’t wait to create with them. I already have some interesting plans for the Chameleon and the waterfall."

— Tracey Z. (5/5)
