*This give-away is now closed –winner was announced HERE.*

As long time fans of Spellbinders Paper Arts, we were absolutely thrilled when Spellbinders sent us the Grand Calibur, some Grand Nestabilities, as well as a box filled with other Spellbinders goodies to test drive and review.  For today, we’re going to review the Grand Calibur in a video, and show you exactly how it’s used.  We’re also going to share with you a free video tutorial with PDF handout on how to make the adorable project shown at the bottom of this post featuring the Grand Labels 4 Grand Nestabilities die (cut using the Grand Calibur)…… 

AND we are giving away two of the regular Spellbinder’s dies (valued at $50 US) – the standard circles and classic scalloped rectangles large – which can be used either in the Grand Calibur OR the Wizard, OR the Big Shot, OR the Cuttlebug…etc!

 In A Nutshell…….

 Pros: 
The Spellbinders Grand Calibur is a large format die cutting and embossing machine designed for the home user. It is a very affordable system – retailing at $139.99 US. We found it to be easy to use, allows for a variety of applications, and is relatively compact making it easy to store. And weighing in at 10 lbs, it’s also fairly portable. 

Although designed to work with the Grand Nestabilities – the largest dies of their kind on the market – it is compatible with ALL the Spellbinder’s dies. It features a large platform – 8 1/4″ x 11 3/4″ – with color coded plates for cutting and embossing – allowing you to fit a whole lot of dies on the cutting platform at once. Personally, we are HUGE fans of the large cutting platform and large dies because it opens up a whole new world of project possibilities. It also has a stability base to keep the machine in place during use. 

 Cons:
The only con we really came across is that the stability base will only engage on a smooth surface.  It won’t grip the grainy or pebbly surfaces found on many of the portable plastic folding tables. Without the stability mechanism in place the machine is fairly wobbly, and required you to hold it in place with one hand.  

For our full review – to see it’s features and exactly how it’s used, please watch the video below.

 As we mentioned above, we’ve put together a free video tutorial with pdf handout on how we used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and Grand Nestabilities dies to create these adorable card purses.  You can watch the video and download the handout from HERE.

Okay, so now, details on how to enter our Freebie Friday Giveaway…..simple, all you have to do is enter a comment in the comment’s section of this post – tell us which die cutting machine you own/use/love (if any), and what your favorite types of projects using dies are.  The winner will be announced on Friday, November 11th.  Whoever that lucky person is, will only have 24 hours to email us to claim their prize, if we don’t hear from you, then someone else’s name will be selected!

  3. Wow, thanks for the opportunity to win some dies! I’ve never used Spellbinder dies before – didn’t know they would work in the Big Shot (which is what I have). Would love to win them to try them out!

  5. I own a big shot and LOVE it ! ! ! ! I love to use the nestabilities in my card making. I love the layered look it gives when using at least 2 of the dies and I usually use 3 different sizes. It really makes the card stand out. THANKS

  6. I starting Stampin’ Up classes a couple months ago. I own the Sizzix Big Shot. When I saw it in use I just had to have one. The projects I love most with this machine, so far, is Christmas cards. I love the snowflakes, dasher and many, many more of the Christmas dies. I just simple fell in love with this machine.

    Thank you so much for the chance to enter for the freebie gift.

  7. Enjoy working with spellbinder dies and use a friends cuttlebug machine to do so.Thanks for the chance to win.Happy Holidays to all.

  8. I use the Cuttlebug – seems to be working fine for me! Everytime I think I should upgrade…it pulls off yet another project and makes me think whey spend more on that when i could just buy more product!!

  9. I’ve been wanting to try Spellbinder’s dies for a long time now!!!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!!! I’ve heard they are wonderful because they are so flat and you can store them easily! I currently own a Big Shot and this Grand Caliber looks tempting!!!! It looks like it can store in a smaller space than the Big Shot and space is hard to come by in my craft room! 🙂 I love using my Big Shot to do paper crafting and to cut fabric for sewing or iron-on adhesive projects!!!! Thanks again for the chance to win!!!!

  10. I think that I may buy a Spellbinder machine. I have the sizzix and big shot but find they don’t cut as well. Enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks for the opportunity to enter in the drawing.

  11. I have the Big Shot and mostly Stampin’ Up’s dies. But I have been eyeing the Spellbinders circle and oval dies for a LONG time!! I like to use my Big Shot to make the petal cones (Stampin’ Up die). I’m doing a stamp camp this weekend where folks will be making them, and I’m going to show them how versatile they are for Thanksgiving (as place setting treats) and Christmas (gift boxes and hanging ornaments/boxes for the tree). Thanks for the chance to win the dies!!

  12. Looks like a great product but I own a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug.
    I love using the cutting dies. Flowers are my favorite.
    Thanks for sharing this info and the pdf for the purses. Mary

  13. Andrea, how did you know that I had the large scalloped dies in my ‘wish list’?! I would LOVE a chance to win either set…LOVE your card designs and videos!

  14. Love the cuttlebug and using it with the spellbinders. Takes up tiny space and they work great with it. Next is the grand caliber. Thanks for the chance to win

  15. Thank you for the chance to win. I love using Spellbinders as I have a few that I use all the time. There are so many. Also, I want to thank you again for doing the Twelve Days of Christmas, the ideas that you present are wonderful. I am saving the Butterfly cards and holder for an after Christmas class to do. I can hardly wait, they are cute.

  16. I have a Cricut and a Cuddlebug. I love my Cricut because of the changable sizing and options it allows for, but got the Cuttlebug because IU can’t use the embossing folders without it, so when I found one on clearance for 75% off, I grabbed it!

    I really love the cards you made!

  17. wow you are so awesome, when i am done i know i can get expert advice…for all the projects..thank you for the taking your time to teach all of us the amazing works of Stamp Up

  18. I have the Big Shot and love it. I have never used the Spellbinders dies but after this I will start buying them. Thanks for showing me the really work with the Big Shot. I make all my Christmas presents for the women in the family and ues dies all the time. Thanks again

  19. Thanks so much for the chance to win! It would be awesome to try those new dies! Keep up the great videos!

  21. I have both the Cuttlebug and Big Shot. I use my Cuttlebug more often because I use a lot of the embossing folders for cards and the small sizzlet dies. I use the Big Shot for the larger dies like the boxes, etc. I have mostly used the spellbinder dies in the Cuttlebug and they work great. Thanks for the opportunity for some freebies.

  22. Thanks so much for this opportunity to win some candy ~ maybe one day it will be my turn ~ I absolutely LOVE what you do, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creativity with us ~ you inspire me! I own a Cricut, Cuddlebug and a Big Shot, a girl can never have too many toys!
    Have a wonderful day!

  23. I own a cuttlebug, which I love for embossing but I don’t have ny diess to use for it yet. I’m planning on buying some Spellbinders Nestabilities sets so I can use them mostly for stamp backgrounds and card / treat box windows etc

  25. Cute card purses and doesn’t that Grand Calibur look fabulous. I own a Big Shot and use it every time I create a card ~ love Spellbinder dies because they are so easy to use and store and create endless possibilities. Would be thrilled to win these large circles and scalloped rectangles ~ thanks for offering! Off to download your pdf handout. Thanks for sharing!

  26. I have a cuttlebug and I absolutely love it. Spellbinders have the best dies- super affordable and various types of shapes! I love to make flowers with my dies! Thanks for the chance to win.

  27. I have a lot of sets of spellbinders nestabilities, but I don’t have those 2 sets!!! I have never used Grand Galibur. I Have Cuttlebag.Thanks for the chance to win…

  28. I have a Big Kick and love it but I would love a big platform cutting system. I have seen very cute boxes done with the bigger platform. Flowers and boxes (party favours) are my favouties.

  29. I love this and would love to have one it is something that I would use a lot. Thank you so much for the video showing it to us it is a great little machine and one that will be on my wish list.

  30. I have a Big Shot and a Cricut machine. I love the Big Shot for it’s quick and easy use. Boxes and Embossing are my absolute favorite things to make with the Big Shot. I own SU dies as well as some sizzix and cuttlebug dies. The embossing folders ROCK!! I have wanted to try nestability dies. Cricut is a little more cumbersome for me because I am not as familiar with it.

  31. I have a Cuttlebug and Big Shot. The Big Shot is great for die cutting, but I think the Cuttlebug does a better job of embossing. The larger format is certainly appealing. Thanks for yet another opportunity to win some great prizes. I love Spellbinder dies.

  32. I forgot to mention that I have a Big Kick and I use some of the nestabilites for all kinds of cards I love to use them they are so versitile.

  33. I have the Big Shot and a Cricut. I love them both. I use the Big Shot mostly for cardmaking and other papercraft projects and I use my Cricut more for Scrapbooking. Both of which I love! I have a couple Spellbinder sets and love them too. They work great in the Big Shot.
    Happy Weekend everyone!

  34. Thanks for the review, I have seen this machine but not seen it in action, I love the projects featured and will have to try them out. I would love the chance to win some Spellbinder dies as all my customers love them.

  35. I have a Cuttlebug, I love using the embossing folders, I don’t have any cutting dies yet and I would love the nestabilities as I’m a beginner card maker I have been inspired by your tutorials, thanks so much for sharing.

  36. Thank you for the opportunity to win Spellbinder’s Nestabilities. I don’t own the Grand Calibur but I do own the Big Shot and use it every day. I love my Big Shot and love all of the dies, sizzlets, embossing folds….in the Stampin’ UP! Idea book.

  37. I love my Big Shot and would love the opportunity to try new things with it! thanks for the video:)

  38. I have a cuttlebug – that I so love – I dream of having a big shot or the new Grand Calibur but I can’t justify the cost seeing my good ole bug works just fine – I love the spellbinder dies the best of all that I have tried!!

  39. I use a Bigshot especially for 3D projects, boxes, decorations, etc, although LOVE using embossing folders on cards too! Thank you again for sharing your ideas and creativity, I just LOVE getting emails from you always filled with great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

  41. Thanks for the review on the Grand Calibur.
    I have a Cuttlebug and a QuicKutz Revolution. I mostly use the Cuttlebug for embossing and the Revolution for cutting. I use the dies I have for cardmaking.
    Thanks for Freebie Friday!

    The Scrapbooking Queen

  60. I have a Big Shot, but it I would love to do bigger projects (with bigger dies), so to win the Grand Calibur to do so would be pretty awesome. I also love the fact than you can put a lot of different dies on the platform. Wish me luck and thanks for sharing. I love your videos!

  66. LOVE THIS Product review and I can imagine the wonderful things you can make using the larger format.

  68. I have the Big Shot that I use for cutting paper and fabric and love all the different things i can do with it. I love card making and sewing with the items I cut with my dies. I haven’t tried the Nestabilities with it yet as they were not available around here until recently. Thanks for the opportunity to win the Grand Nestabilities dies. That would be so awesome!

  70. use my big shot &cuddlebug for my spellbinders – just bought a couple of the grand nestabilities the other day. Can’t wait to play with them. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for giving me a chance to win.

  71. Thank u for another great tutorial. I have many, many nestabilitie dies but not the Grand Calibur ones or the machine itself. I have been holding out as I have the Wizard, Big Shot, & Cuttlebug. You may have sold me on it, though!!

  72. Andrea,
    I would love to win these and get my christmas cards made you always make the cutest things and love your blog. Would jump with joy if I get these thanks for the opportunity

    1. I have the big shot and use it all the time, I do many. Cardds using this machine and wonder how I survived without it!

  73. I have just started collecting the Nestabilities dies…love the compact storage. I am using them with a cuttlebug, but want to move up to a Big Shot. Thanks for the fun opportunity!

  74. I have the Cuddle Bug and use it all the time. I have several of the Spellbinders dies and love them. I ordered some of the big spellbinders and then realized I could not use them but maybe I can win one, which would be great. Thank you for a chance to win and Love your Blog!!!

  75. I have a Big Shot and a few Spellbinders die cuts. I mostly make card and us Stampin’ Up products, but I still have my eyes open for other options. Love you classes, and have been working along with you on the 12 Weeks of Christmas, as well as Club 52. Thanks for being such a good teacher, you have so many tips and techniques, I have learned so much. Sure would like to win the Grand Calibur.

  77. OMG! I love the Spellbinders dies. I have almost every one that they make. I use the dies in my Big Shoot. They work great, but I would love to win the Spellbinders die cutting machine.

  78. I’m not sure if I am eligible to win as I live in New Zealand, but I do have several sets of spellbinders, I use these all the time in my cuttlebug. Cheers

  79. I own the big shot and love it. I have some spellbinders and would love to be able to cut larger shapes.

  80. I saw this online and was so excited to see it. I have seen the dies used on the Cuttlebug. I hope that I have been a good girl and Santa will bring me one . I know that I can use it with so many things – including the children’s bible class at our church.

  81. Love Spellbinders Nestabilities. I started using them about a year ago and love them as they have so many different shapes. They have made paper crafting so much more for me instead of everything being square or rectangular. Although I do not own these particular dies, it sure would be fun to try them out. Thanks for the chance at a “freebie”!!

  82. I absolutely love spellbinders, especially when doing scrapbooking. I use the different sized dies to layer upon each other with different colored paper, it really enhances the page.

  84. I have the cuttlebug…and I use it ALL the time…love the nestibilities…..thanks for all your ideas and sharing of your creativity…Jan

  85. Oh My Gosh!! I would love to win this!…I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while! I currently have a Cricut and a Big Kick!…which I love them both!…for card making and scrapbooking!! Thanks for the chance to win!! LOVE this site!!

  87. I love the spellbinders. The only set I have are the Large Classic Ovals and use them all the time when cardmaking.

  88. Just watched your Video over on youtube. I Loved the review on the Spellbinders Grand Calibur. Love the Large sized Plates. I have a Cuttlebug and Love It! But It’s getting old, So I am very Interested in the Calibur. I wonder if you can use It with Embossing Folders? Love the Spellbinders Extra Large Dies! Those would be Great for Scrapbooking. I only have one Set of Spellbinder Dies so far. I have a long list of other’s that I want. I would be so Super Excited to Win some more. Thank You so much for the chance. So glad that I found this Paper Crafter’s Library. I also just liked your Facebook Page. :0)

  89. I love my SU Big Shot but I’m ready to branch out a bit as i’m getting more into Craft Shows and want the variety Spellbinders will give me. I think the Spellbinder’s Nestabilities is just what I’m looking for!

  90. I have a well used and loved bigshot. I love Spellbinders and Sizzix. I dont think i make many cards anymore where it is not brought out.

  91. I have a Big Shot – which is great! Besides using it for boxes and 3D items, I love the way it cuts non cardstock materials like fabric, felt, cork, metals etc. Of course, I’ve got a few spellbinder dies that work well too.

  92. I remember the day when I use to pencil out a shape with whatever I had in the cupboard for a circle or an oval and then cut it out by hand. Yes, I did! Those days are gone thankfully, and making a card doesn’t take forever now. Phew! I am slowly adding to my collection of spellbinders die cuts and the possiblities are endless. Having a website like yours inspires and provides for some many ideas. I thank you for helping get my creative juices flowing ladies. The one thing I love about the spellbinder die cuts is they are compatible with my cuddlebug machine and I didn’t have to buy another cutting tool. Keep up the great work!

  93. I have a Big Shot and love it, but I’ve never seen a Spellbinder machine before. I have to say I love the BIG platform!! Since the Nestability dies work with the Big Shot, I welcome the chance to win one of them. Thanks for all you ideas and the opportunity to be a winner!

  96. I love the nesties that I use in my Cuttlebug. To try the grands I will have to get something new–hint maybe for Christmas. I mostly use them to create cards or some 3D projects like little purses etc. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.

  97. I just love these boxes! They are gorgeous. I use a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug for die cutting and embossing and really enjoy using it. I especially love making boxes and give them as gifts filled with the cards I make. I really enjoy your projects. I have made several and find your instructions and videos well done and easy to follow. Thank you for such wonderful projects and also the chance to win.

  99. This looks like a great machine! I too, have the Big Shot and like to use it with my Spellbinders Nestabilities.
    Maybe one day I will have the Grand Calibur. I enjoy your videos and all the ideas you share. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  100. I haven’t tried the nestabilities as yet but I do have a sizzix big Kick and a larger one as well — I JUST LOVE the die’s and making either scrapbook pages or cards. It makes them look amazing!!! Thanks for the chance to win and try something new! Kim

  101. I have the Sizzix Big Shot and I really enjoy it. I was using it a lot for embossing until I was at a card class and we used the Spellbinders Nestibilities and I just love them. Thanks for giving me a chance to win!

  102. I LOVE my BigShot! I’ve heard alot about nesties, but don’t own any. I love the idea of them, however, so you may have sparked my interest enough to get a set!! Thanks for your ideas, and the opportunity to win some fabulous tools!

  103. I own a dodge caliber…does that count? No, I didn’t thinks so…..Love my big shot, and all the dies, I haven’t slurged on nesties….but would love to use them to create some of these lovely projects…thanks for sharing…

  104. I’m relatively new to paper crafting and am soaking up as much as I can as fast as I can. I love the look of embossed cards and projects but haven’t taken the step up yet to purchase a machine. Thank you for such a comprehensive review of the Grand Calibur. I like that it is larger than most and can handle more die cuts. Sad they didn’t go ahead and make it fit an 8 1/2″ sheet but that’s not too much waste. It’s in the running for a future purchase!

  105. I love my Big Shot and my Revolution die cutting machines. Spellbinders are my absolute favorite when it comes to metal dies. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and make layering a snap! Your Altered Clear Box Card Box project is AWESOME! What a beautiful way to give greeting card gift sets! Sure hope I win and thanks once again for the chance and yet another fab project! I’m quite a fan!!!!!

  106. I have the cuttlebug and the big shot – I love them both. I must say, the big shot is easier to use as the instructions are RIGHT there. They both have full capabilities of using whatever I put in them!!! Felt, vinyl, cloth as well as card stock (thick, medium, thin).
    Love those ‘spellbinders’. Awesome!!!

  107. Thank you for the chance to win! I have been wanting to try these for a long time. Being the owner of a Big Shot, I just could not justify buying both. I love the way they are so much smaller and looks like eaiser to store. Thank you for all your informative videos and awesome ideas. Whenever I need a little (or a lot sometimes) of inspiration, I check you out right away:D!

  109. I use m bigshot with all of everyone’s dies and its awesome! I love your work and that you share with us all. Thanks for the chance to win some candy.

    xxoo

  110. love to use my Big Shot with some of the nestibilities. bought some in usa but haven’t used them yet..thanks for the chance to win some more..

  111. Thanks for this awesome chance to win some dies. I have had a Big Shot machine for several years and enjoy it’s simplicity. I also like that I can use other dies with it. Thanks for the video you shared with us.

  112. I recently purchased a Cuddle Bug after using one at a local workshop and am extremely happy I did! A friend has been gracious enough to lend me her Spellbinders and Big Shot dies. I appreciate you providing the opportunity to win great tools like this that I too will be able to share!

  113. I use my Big Shot on just about everything and LOVE it, but I have never tried any nestatilities. I think my favorite thing to run through it is fabric, for someone who doesn’t sew, I go through a lot of fabric in my projects!
    Love all your ideas!

  114. I love the spellbinders dies. I have quite a few of them, but there’s always room for a few more.

  115. I have the Stampin Up Big Shot and love it. I’ve just recently looked into the Spellbinder nesties and would like to get a few. Ilike that they are compatible. I like the idea of having a bigger surface with the Grand Calibur. Very Cool! Thanks for the drawing!

  116. I own a cuttlebug( my first purchase many years ago) and a big shot which is my favourite, I use it all the time, and have recently purchased a grand calibur and some grand nestabilities and am thinking this will be my new favourite as it has such a big platform to cut so many different possibilities. These 2 nestability sets would be a wonderful addition to my collection. Thanks.

  117. I have a Big Shot and Cuttlebug and love them both. I like the dies and nesties (ALL OF THEM)… I haven’t met a die I don’t like! They are both great machines but can do lots more with the Big Shot! Thanks for the chance to win some great Nesties!

  118. I am still using my red and white Big Kick. It just keeps on working day after day. I love using the Sizzix Dies and the new flat dies from Paper Trey Ink and Spellbinders. I really enjoy making paper flowers so the Nestabilities flower dies are my absolute favorite!

    Just love your project share!

  120. Awesome blog candy. I’d love to win the sets of Spellbinders. I’ve never used them, but have a Cuttlebug to do so. The card purses are adorable. and look like a fun project.

  121. Would love to win!! I have a Cuttlebug and CrWould love to win!! I have a Cuttlebug and Cricut…Thanks for the chance!!icut…Thanks for the chance!!

  123. I love these Christmas purses. I have a Cuttlebug and I absolutely love it. It would be nice to have a bigger unit like the BigShot for bigger dies like pillow pockets and such but I sure love using my Cuttlebug for embossing paper. I find that the Nestabilities are great for cutting out shapes because you get such a big variety of sizes whereas you would need tonnes of punches and room to store them!

  125. I have the cuttlebug which I eally love. I make alot of projects for/with my Great Grandchildren and what fun we could have with the Grand Calibur. Enjoy your videos. Thanks!!

  126. Thanks for the chance to win! I currently use the cuttlebug machine for all my die cutting needs. I like using the spellbinders die cuts the most in it. I use them mostly for embellishing my cards or mini book projects. I also like using them as a background for my copic colored images as well. Thanks for the tutorial!

  127. I have the Big Shot, but do not have any nestabilities, would love to have a few. Thanks for the chance to try them. Your creativity is amazing!!!

  128. I have the old red sizzix and the silhouette. I like to create new paper crafts for my family and friends.
    Thanks for the opportuntity to win this.

  130. I love, love, love my Big Shot. I use it tons with embossing folders for cards, but also love the 3D dies – the Christmas tree is probably my fave! I don’t yet own any Nestabilities, but would love to try them!

  131. I love my cuttlebug. I like the fact that it is so portable. I am intrigued with the large cutting surface with the Grand Calibur. I used my die cut machine for cards and 3-D papercrafts.

  132. Hi Andrea, great review! I have a Cuttlebug and I love it. Mostly because of it’s small footprint and portability. Thanks for holding the contest!

  133. Andrea: I just love your tuterials and hints. I have a b ig shot and have used several of the nestables with it. I would love to win the nestables. Thanks for all you do to help us cardmakers. Ann

  134. I have seen cards using these and wondered what they were and how the embossing was done. I am so happy to see them and know what they are. I would love to win them. You two ladies have wonderful talents. Thanks for sharing so freely.

  136. I have the Big Shot and love, love, love it. It’s so versatile and easy to use. I too highly recommend the Big Shot. Thanks for a chance to win!

    bonnie

  137. I have a Big Shot and love it. I also love all the projects and tips you share. I am new to paper crafting and am really enjoying it. Thanks for the chance to win some great products.

  138. I have the Cuttlebug and most of the dies and CB folders, I could not design without it! So the big shot is at the top of my “Wish List”.

    I think I may likethe Cuttlebug more than my Cricut! Thanks for the opportunity to win

    Diane

  139. I have the grand calibur but don’t use it nearly enough -thanks for the inspiration to use it more!

  140. I have a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug and am just beginning to build my collection of dies. I would so like to win some new dies! I am really enjoying your 12 days of Christmas tutorials, very well done and easy to follow. Thank you.

  141. I own the Big Shot and love it. I also own a few sets of the spellbinders. I’d love the opportunity to win more sets. Thanks Andrea…

  142. I have the Big Shot, Cuttlebug, Cricut and Grand Calibur. I use them all and love them all. The projects that you share with us let me take full advantage of the machines. I am anxious to make this project. Thanks for all your hard work

  143. I love this purse! I have a Cricut and a Big Kick, love the ease and portability of this Grand Caliber! The shapes are great, I admire them at my local scrapbook store 🙂 Thanks for the free tutorial.

  144. This is so awesome. Thank you. I have the cuttlebug and the big shot. I have to say that I use my Cuttlebug more. Its smaller and easier to handle. I love the embossing folders. I use my big shot for the big stuff. I love the nestablities I don’t have to have so many punches.

  145. I have both the Grand Calibur and the Cuttlebug. I use them both equally. The Grand is great for being able to cut several dies at once. I only have 2 Grand Dies, one is the ivy/vine, have never used it, guess
    I wasn’t paying attention when I bought it. Love the Nestie dies, use them all the time. Thank you for
    sharing the video and the chance to win these 2 die sets. Take care. RuthAnn

  146. I have a bigshot but have not seen the spellbinders before. I am so excited to get one to try . I love the christmas purse and the tutorial. Thanks for all your crafty ideas.

  147. I own the Big Shot and use various Stampin Up! diecuts and embossing folders on it. I love it! I have used the nestabilities at a friend’s house and love them! I’m thinking of putting them on my list to buy soon. Thanks for the chance to win these!

  149. I have never used the nestabilities, but would love to win them to try on my Big Shot. I love all the embossing folders I can use with it. I love the inspiration!

  150. I love my Big Shot. There’s rarely a project that I make that doesn’t include the Big Shot.

  152. Thanks for this video ladies! I own a Big Shot and a Cricut Expression. My Big Shot wins hands down for ease of use and portability! Plus, if the power goes out I can still use it 🙂 My favorite types of projects are 3D items and cards! Thanks for the chance to win these fab Nesties, too!

  153. I love this project and those dies would fit a couple that I already use with my Big Shot. Hope I win! The three that I have work great and I made some wonderful Christmas cards with them. Keep up the good work!

  154. I have a wizard and a cuttlebug. When the cuttlebug dies I’ll most likely get a big shot. However, Spellbinders dies are awsome and I actually don’t have the ones you demo. Thanks for the video.

  155. I currently do not own a die cutting machine and I borrow my friend`s all the time. I love to do projects with them, especially making tags. I think the possibilities are endless and I will have to eventually invest in one. Thank you for sharing your video and the pdf, love the idea. Thank you as well for the chance to win!

  156. Thank you for demonstrating this machine. I’ve had my eye on it for awhile. I have a Wizzard and love it! Spellbinders are the best. Thanks for the opportunity to win these sets.

  157. Looks interesting! Does it take the Sizzix Bigz dies though, or just the skinny ones from Spellbinders?

  158. HI, Iam ARGENTINA AND LIVING IN CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA seven years. I travel quite BUY UNITED STATES AND IN JOANNS PRODUCTS AND MICHAELS Spellbinders. I HAVE SOME MACHINE AND CUTTING. I would love to have more, but here in South America is very difficult to get the products! I THANK FOR MAKING THIS SWEEPSTAKES. SORRY MY ENGLISH. MILY.

    hOLA sOY ARGENTINA Y VIVO EN CHILE SUDAMERICA DESDE HACE SIETE AÑOS. YO VIAJO BASTANTE A ESTADOS UNIDOS Y COMPRO PRODUCTOS SPELLBINDERS EN JOANNS Y MICHAELS. TENGO LA MAQUINA Y ALGUNOS CORTANTES. ME ENCANTARIA PODER TENER MAS, PERO ACA EN SUDAMERICA ES MUY DIFICIL CONSEGUIR LOS PRODUCTOS! LES AGRADEZCO POR HACER ESTE SORTEO. mILY.

  160. I started out with the cuttlebug and cricut, then I bought the wizzard machine. I use my cuttlebug every day and have lots of nesties. I would love to get the grand calibur, it is on my wish list for Christmas.
    Thanks for the opportunity for a chance at winning the dies.
    Thank you forl your videos, they are great learning tools.

  161. You make things look so easy that I just want to jump right on it. Thanks for the enthusiasm and sharing your skills with us so often.
    Lynn

  162. Wow! This is a great prize! I am becoming addicted to the spellbinders since I signed on to you Paperacrafters Library. Unfortunately everything I see you using I Want!! I love the projects that are created with the spellbinders; as you said it opens up a whole new world. The Grand Calibur will make my wish list this Christmas! Thank you for the opportunity (chance????) to win the spellbinders – these are two that I do not have. Love them!
    Linda

  164. I love the Spellbinder dies and have many but not the Grand Nestabilities. I can wait to try them on my Big Shot. I really appreciate the video you’ve done. You make trying new products so much easier for us. Thanks!

  165. I’ve used Spellbinders dies for over 15 years, since the first Wizard. When the CB arrived I opted for the portablilty. I am thinking about getting a Grand Calibur for the larger platform. Thank you for your review, in regards to the Con, I have resolved this issue by placing my CB on a 12×12 marble tile -suction is great.
    I LOVE the Nesties and a variety of folders and die cuts from other companies. These sets would be a welcome addition to my library. Thanks for the chance.

  166. I have a Cuttlebug and love it, but do NOT have any Spellbinders and would LOVE to have some! They would really be useful! Thanks for sharing all of your projects and talent 🙂

  168. I am coveting the Grand Calibur. The hardest part has been figuring out how big the dies really are. Thanks for your video. I get the picture and want those dies.

  169. I have a Big Shot & Cricut. I use the Big Shot all the time. I haven’t use the cricut to date but hope to before the holidays. I do use the Spellbinders dies with the big shot. Thanks for the tutorial!!! Love your ideas!!!

  170. I currently have a BigKick and use it for mostly cards and gift projects. I really love this altered card box project and would love to win these Spellbinder’s dies. Thanks for the opportunity!!!

  171. Thanks for the great demo. I have a Cricut and a Big Shot both have positives but I do like the BS the most. I love to make books and albums so the prospect of cutting out such large shapes on the new machine is exciting. Thanks Marion

  173. I actually own a Big Shot and a Grand Caliber. I use both. I love being able to make larger designs and shaped cards with the Grand Caliber. I just love Spellbinders and texture plates in general. Thanks for the chance to win some dies.

  175. I have a cuttlebug and a grand calibur – use the cuttlebug mostly as it was my first machine and I am most comfortable with it – however I have some grand nesties and use the grand calibur to cut them – both used for card making – love them both!

  176. My first machine was a Cuttlebug but a few years ago I bought an electric Big Shot, which is much kinder to someone with arthritis. I primarily use my dies to cut out focal images but also to cut shapes [flowers, snowflake, leaves, etc]. ALSO I have a huge embossing folder collection; love them!

  178. Love the Christmas card purses. Have a Big Shot and love it. I have not tried any of the Spellbinder dies, but your great video and instructions have inspired me.

  179. Love all of the awesome cards that you share with us, thank you so much for the inspiration! I have a Bigshot and my passion is for making cards! My favorite thing to use in the Bigshot is my embossing folders from Stampin’ Up! I have also made little treat bags for a friend using the top note diecut and some punches, turned out awesome! 🙂 The Spellbinder dies look neat too, never have tried them before! I really like the scalloped looking one you have in the picture! I am making Christmas cards right now to hold a card making class! Thank you the awesome projects you make and the opportunity to enter your drawings! Have a Blessed Day! 🙂

  180. I started making cards this year. I have a Cuttlebug because I thought that only they made embossing. It was not until months later I discovered I could use the Spellbinder to cut specific shapes and is a wonder. Well, I have only two Spellbinders. Foliage Spellbinder, which I used for a birthday card and the other that I have I used to make windows to the cards. Watching the video taught me how to make embossing correctly. Thanks a lot.

  181. I have a Big Shot and I would love to try the Spellbinders dies, I don’t have any yet! Thank you for the chance to win them!

  182. I bought my first set of nestabilities because of seeing you use them on Paper Crafers Library. I love them and would also love to add to my collection. Thanks for all your creativity.
    Melissa

  183. Great giveaway, I have a big shot and I am slowly starting to build up my dies, I would love to win this!

  184. I have all three machines, but have to say love my Cuttlebug the best. So easy to use and so portable. I love the Nestabilities and have many of them and that is why I bought the GC. That way I know exactly which sandwich to use for them! I have a shelf now (thanks to my handy hubby) that I can leave all three (plus my cricut!) set up so they are ready to go w/ all the plates in their right places. I love all of them. You do such a fab job! Keep up the great work and thanks for the chance to win.

  185. I have a Big Shot and love to make cards but also use it to make tags and scrapbook pages as well. I use Stampin’ Up dies but also have bought Sizzix dies and Cuttlebug embossing plates. They both work well.

  186. Great that you get to try out first! I wish I knew about the GRAND earlier. I just love the BIG dies!!!!! I am going to put it on my Ho,Ho, Ho, …….list. Would love to win the 2 dies I don’t have either but I do have lots of others. I love your project with the GRAND. When I get mine I will call it the GRAND “C”. That’s what my grandchild calls me. After all my name is Cynde and she does think I am GRAND!!!!!!!!

  187. I have the Cricut Expression and the Cuttlebug that I use regularly. I like being able to take my embossing folders and my spellbinders labels with me to a crop. I use the Cricut mostly at home. Thank you for the chance to win!

  188. I have a Big Shot and I LOVE it! I use it to make cards mostly, but I have also used it to cut fabric. I made my sister and daughter purses/bags last Christmas using a scalloped square to cut the fabric. They turned out cute! I LOVE my nestabilities the most though… I love being able to use the coordinating sizes to make a layered card. 🙂

  189. Hi. Thank you for the video on the Grand Caliber and for the opportunity to win the Nestaibility dies.

  191. Like my Bigshot but LOVE my spellbinders because all sizes of labels I can us.
    I have the grand nestibilities label 4 which I like a lot, but I’m open to learn and have other type of labels.
    Regards Lysiane

  192. My two favorite things are punches and my Big Shot! You can do so many things, so excitiing!!!!

  193. I have the Big Shot and love to do 3D items and use the embossing folders. Love your ideas and will keep coming back! Thanks.

  194. I have a Big Shot I don’t own Nestabilities but I’ve used my friend’s sometimes-great for layers!

  195. I have a cuttlebug and use the nestabilities often. I love them. I most often make cards with them but am hoping to start scrapbooking soon.

  196. really enjoyed your tutorial! I have quite a few spellbinders dies and I’m quite impressed with the grand caliber. I would love to win the two die cuts, then I would have a real excuse to buy the machine!!

  197. I have never heard of the Spellbinder before. I’m kinda new to all of this and have purchased the big shot (which I love) so this looks like it would be just my kind of thing!

    Thanks!

  198. I have the Big Shot & really love it, though I have nothing to compare it to. My favorite use for my Big Shot is for accents and titles on my scrapbook pages. Couldn’t live without those die cut letters!

    I have always wanted to try Nestabilities… I’ve seen them used online, but never seen them in person. Thank you for the chance to win them!

  201. I have a Cuttlebug. My young daughter and I use it mostly for Mom and me crafting time creating cards and scrapbook pages. Thank you for the inspiration!

  202. I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE AS IT IS ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND HIGHLY CREATIVE.AS FOR THE SPELLBINDERS THEY ARE THE BEST BRAND OUT THERE BAR NONE.I HAVE THE CUTTLEBUG,SMALL CRICUT AND THE BIG SHOT OF WHICH I LOVE THEM ALL.BEING A DISABLED SENIOR CRAFTS ARE MY LIFE.I WOULD DIE FOR A GRAND CALIBUR .WINNING THE SPELLBINDER DIE WOULD BE SO AWESOME SINCE AS MANY PEOPLE MY INCOME KEEPS DWINDLING EVERY MONTH.KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!

  203. First, I thoroughly enjoy your website and your e-mails. You have so many ideas! Two, I have owned the Grand Calibur since it was first released. Love it as it is easy to use, hardly any effort needed to turn the handle, you can use several dies at one time, and, of course, use the super large dies. If a person doesn’t have a personal die cut machine and loves the Spellbinder dies, this is the machine to have.

  204. Would really love to have one….I want to learn how to do everything….just joined your program

  205. Love your advice & great ideas! Keep up the great work. Thanks for the chance to win the nestabilities! What Fun!

  206. hi there

    Thanks
    Lynn SB

  207. I love that these can also be used in the BigShot and would really love to be the winner 😉
    Totally love your site and your very helpful and informative emails xoxo

  208. What a cute pair of cards. I have the Big Shot and love using Nestabilities for layering stamped images on my cards. Would love to win more! Thanks for the opportunity.

  209. I own both a cuttlebug and a Big Shot and numerous Spellbinders dies that I absolutely love. Couldn’t craft without them!! Thanks for the opportunity to win. Hoping Santa will bring the Grand Calibur to my house!

  210. I haven’t had the opportunity to try other machine, but I own a Big Shot and absolutely adore the textured embossing folders. I love how it completely changes the look of your page or card and gives projects so much more dimension without adding any fancy embellishments

  211. I love this idea!! I have the Big Shot and use it all the time when making my projects and gifts. I am always looking for new ideas and your web site is great for helping me with that! Thanks for all the time you put into your web site for all of us to view!!!!

  212. I have been wanting the Spellbinder Circle dies for a long time and would love to win both of these. Thanks for a shot at it.

  213. Love the project! I have a big shot, a big shot pro, cuttlebug and the vagabond. What can I say, I love using them all. They all do their own special dies, so I have a good variety! I work alot with embossing folders, live them and have started using dies and spellbinders. Thanks for the opportunity! Keep up the great work gals!

  214. Totally enjoy your tutorials and clever card ideas. JUST got the Big Shot. I have one set of dies – REALLY looking forward to investing in others. I especially like butterflies-stamps/dies/embossilits/etc. Glad to see that these dies could be used in the Big Shot. All the cards I’ve made have been really fun and the recipients enjoy them too. It just great that those of you with such “creative” minds and capabilities share with those of us from the more analytical side! 🙂 Thanks again.

  215. I enjoy your creativity so much! I get so many inspiring ideas from your library. Thanks for the chance to win!

  216. I love my cuddlebug. I use it on all the cards I make. You are a great inspiration. You have so many ideas it is unbelievable. I don’t own any spellbinders but I would like to have some to try them in my cuddlebug. Thanks for the chance to win

  219. I use a Big Shot and love to use it with the Nestabilities. My favorite thing to make with the Spellbinders dies are cards.

  220. I am new to spellbinders and just can’t wait to own several more. It’s my treat once a payday and I look so forward to it. They make cardmaking so much easier.

  221. . I have the Cuddlebug and love using Nestabilities for layering stamped images on my cards. Would love to win more!.

  222. I have just started making cards and own a Cuttlebug machine. Yesterday I purchased a Spellbinder
    Nestie at Michaels. It’s the first one I’ve owned and I am so excited to be able to use it on my cards.
    Karen

  223. I just started using spellbinders and I must say I really like them. They are so compact to store and the cuts are very clean. Thanks for the opportunity to add to my slowly growing stash!!

  224. I have an original red sizzix and a Big Kick and I make a lot of cards with spellbinder’s dies.

  225. I have had a Cuttlebug for at least 4 years, what do i love about it…..easy everything. My little Bug goes with me to crops and friends houses because its so lite and easy to carry. It’s versatile, i can use all my friends dies with it, it embosses and cuts so many materials. I love making my own embellishments for layouts and cards, they are so dear to buy, with the spellbinder etc i save money because i use them over and over again in so many different ways with perfect results. love my Cuttlebug and love spellbinders as well.

  226. I recently purchased a big shot. My friend got one and brought it over to my house to show me all she could do. I knew right away I had to have one. I have never been so excited about cardmaking and die cutting as I am now. I can’t stop buying dies and embossing folders. I recently bought my first Nestabilities. I am so excited about my cards this year. I have cut a lot of snowmen out of white felt and trees out of green felt. I also cut a lot of neat large stars out of glitter paper. I have been looking at a lot of you gals sites to see how I want to put them together. I love enbossing folders, but have not figured out how to paint them yet. Keep up the good work for all of us who keep struggling. Thanks for the chance to win some new stuff to work with.

  227. I have the cricut, the cuttlebug and the Big Shot. I actually use all of them. I love working with nestabilities. It definitely adds a lot to a project.
    Thank you so much for this opportunity. I love your site with all of your awesome projects. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing with all of us.

  229. Love spellbinders!! They are awesome. I only have a couple, but could ALWAYS use more!! Thanks for a chance to win!!!!

I do have some Nestabilities and love them. Thank you for the chance to win some more Nestabilites… fingers crossed. P.S. The video was great and thanks for all the info. Also my Cuttlebug a lot of the times isn’t stable on my table so I have to hold it almost all of the time. Hugs Paige ♥

  234. I love Spellbinders dies! I use them with my Cuttlebug to die cut greetings or focal image panels for my cards. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win more dies! 🙂 I absolutely LOVE the altered box project you shared! So pretty!

  238. Neat Cards! I have a Big Shot and it works great for all the different things I use it for. I love Spellbinders dies! Thanks for the chance to win some I don’t already have!

  239. Beautiful! What a great idea to cover a clear box. Just wondering if the large Spellbinder dies will fit into a Big Shot…..humm, I guess I’ll have to get some and try it!

    Thanks!

  240. Love Spellbinders! Use them all the time would love to add them to my collection – thanks for the chance to win them! Love your creativity!

  241. I have a Cuttlebug and use it a lot with my nestabilities and I love the larger size of the Grand nestabilities. I don’t have any yet, but they are next on my list to purchase. Would love to win some of the regular ones too!

  242. Thanks for the review! Currently I have a cuttlebug. I like it because it’s versatile & compact. Nestabilities make layering scrapbook pages & handmade cards a breeze!!! Ah, the wonderful “toys” that are available to papercrafters . . . 🙂

  243. Hi,
    just to let you I have a Big Shot which i just love I use it every time I dry emboss my cards and cut with the spellbiders mostly the labels that i need for my cards. What a beautiful project that can be made with these tools.
    Yvonne

  244. Gotta get a Spellbinder! Love the dies! Wished I’d have known about this great die cut machine before I bought the Cricut….thank you for the great demo. Nice to know that the dies can be used on my little Cuttlebug until I can get a Spellbinder.

  245. I have the cricut and the big shot. I have some of the spellbinders but would love to win these! My granddaughters love using the cricut for making things! Thanks for the opportunity to win these!

  247. I would love the chance to WIN these Spellbinder dies. I Love them on cards it always makes them extra special. Can’t wait to get them, thank you for the chance!

  248. These two purses are beautiful, who wouldn’t love to receive them as a gift!! Your work is always so precise and easy to follow instructions make it easy. Thank you for sharing all of you knowledge with us, it is appreciated. Also, you are very generous to continue all the giveaways and I hope I win!

  249. I own a Cuttlebug. Originally I got it for embossing, but now I love it for die cutting as well. I LOVE spellbinders dies and drool over each new release. I like the idea of the Grand Calibur to be able to do multiple dies at once. My studio is very small and the small size of the Cuttlebug and that fact that it can fold shut, make it great for small spaces. But I’m still tempted! Thanks for the video and also for the tutorial video and the the chance at some more spellbinders!
    R/

  250. Oh I think I need to add the Grand Calibur to my Christmas Wish List! Another GORGEOUS project!! Would LOVE to win the Spellbinders! Thank you! 🙂

  252. I LOVE my big shot and use it all the time. Love the embossing folders and the top note die. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  253. I have both the cricut and cuttlebug and I love using the embossing folders and the dies for making cards and to use on my own scrapbook pages…if I had the Grand Calibur the possibilities would be endless!!!! I love using new stuff!!!

  254. I have a Big Shot & a Cricut Cake! I love using my Cricut for scrapbooking and cake decorating. I use my BS primarily for card making. I’m a former SU demo so stamping is also a big part of my projects. It would be wonderful to expand my die collection and these two look fabulous!

  255. Hello Andrea:

    I LOVE Nestabilities!!!! They are so awesome for making cards. You can cut out your shape … emboss … and then shade just by using the one template. The two sets that you offer here are ones that I do not have as part of my Nestabilities Collection. I believe they would get a lot of use in making my Christmas cards.

  256. Love this video. I have the Cricut and Big Shot. So far no Spellbinders, but now they are on my list
    Would love to win these. Thanks for sharing this

  257. I have the Big Shot and absolutely love it. I have a couple of sets of spellbinders that I use and adore. I am always on the hunt for more. I would love the chance to win some! Your video was wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

  259. I went to my local craft store today to buy a Cricut which was on sale….but thought of all of the spellbinders I have purchased and the ones I want…..so, because I have the Big Shot, I walked out of the store without it! Then, I sat down to look at my emails and found this offer to win a Grand Calibar….and I sure hope I win! I think it would make using my Spellbinders much easier.

  260. I just started using the Spellbinders dies and I love them. They work great on all my cards and projects.

  261. I have a Big Shot and love it!!! My dies are all from Stampin’ Up and I use them for card making, scrapbooking, and gifts. Have never tried spellbinders (didn’t actually know I could use them) but love the look of them. Thanks for the chance to win!!

  262. I have a cuttlebug, love it. Would like to own a Grand Calibur some day. I have many spellbinders also. I use mine to make cards. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards and projects with us.

  263. Nice dies!!! I have a Big Shot and I absolutely love it. My girls love it too and my youngest has been turning by herslef since she was only 2! So easy. My most favourite thing to make using it is the Halloween treat toppers that I send to school for my girls’ classmates. I can whip up 90 Top Notes or embossed cards in no time.

  267. Thanks for the video – only have one question – can you also use the embossing folders on this machine.
    Loved the box idea.

  269. I have the original Sizzix along with the Big Shot. I also just purchased a Cricut! I have used Spellbinders for a few years with my Big Shot and love them!

  270. I have a big shot machine and I love the embossing folders to enhance a card. I love to watch all your beautiful creations! Thank you for the opportunity

  272. Love the chance to win. I have a Spellbinders Presto Punch – nice for small things. My go-to tool is my Big Shot Pro…love it!! I also have the Big Shot from SU which is great for workshops on the go. I have a Cricut…honestly…disappointed and don’t use it much!

  273. I have a Big Shot that I use with dies and embossing folders, too easy. I also have a Silhouette that will use any true type font. I like the Silhouette because I can cut any saying that I want to do. But I don’t have any Nestibilities dies and would sure like to have some.

  274. Great product review!! I love the fact that they are coming out with larger dies. I just don’t want to have to get another machine. Bummer. I have a big shot and a cricket. Love them both. Thanks for sharing.

  275. I LOVE my Big Shot. It took me several months to decide to purchase and I am so glad I did. I use it for almost every project I make. I’d be lost without it. Thank you for this opportunity to win the nestabilities! They are amazing products!

  276. I have a cuttlebug and love making cards with the die cuts. Thanks for all the great projects!

  277. Thanks for your tutorial on the Grand Caliber and Grand Nestabilities; I’ve been wondering about them. It was good to get a real sense of the size of the dies, since the stores only present a tag on the shelf and not the actual item.

  278. I have a big shot and love embossing paper for cards it makes such a huge difference. I love today’s project but I usually love all the things you do. Keep up the great work and look forward to next weeks edition. I had a cuttlebug previously and loved that but I am very happy with the big shot even though I haven’t had it very long. It is so much better than my cuttlebug. So if this is better then that is even better. Hope to be lucky. Spellbinders well what can I say . I haven’t come across one I didn’t like they are just so awesome and add so much to any project I do.

  279. ooohh, thank you for the opportunity to get my hot little hands on these goodies. i’ve never used these dies but have always admired cards made with them. thank you for always sharing your talents.
    stay well,
    annmarie

  281. I would love new Spellbinders. I just discover them and the possibilities are endless. Thank you for the chance to win them. You are awesome.

  282. The cuttlebug die was my first-ever die cutting machine,then I was hooked. I have graduated to the Big Shot (love it). I am an avid crafter and always being asked to ‘create’ something for birthday parties, holidays, graduations,etc. I would live to add one of the Nestabilities dies to my collection

  283. I’ve used the nestabilities dies for several yrs, and really love them. They work on so many different projects, and always with great results. Thanks for giving us a chance to win these dies.

  284. I own a cuttlebug and bigshot. I make cards and mini books with my dies and love the way they enhance any project. Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win some great products.

  285. I have the Cuttlebug and Cricut. I just started using spellbinders dies and I love them. This is a very generous prize.

  286. Andrea, I have been a fan of your creativity for quite a long time.
    I love spellbinder dies and use them often. My cards would be naked without them. I don’t have any mega dies yet and am coveting them.
    Thanks for your tutorials and ideas.

  287. I have both the Cuttlebug and Grand Calibur. You couldn’t get me to givre either up for anything! I love Spellbinders and use many of them. Keep up the great job of showing other ways to use them to create such delightful projects.

  288. I adore my Cuttlebug but I also have an e-Craft which I am still learning to use. I certainly wouldn’t want to have only one or the other as they can do very different things.

  289. I love my Big Shot and use it all the time to make cards and recently used it to make 3D flower pins out of soda cans. I haven’t used the spellbinders yet but would love to get them.
    Thanks for all your beautiful projects!

  290. Thank you for a chance to win. I have a Big Shot but did not know about these dies or that they would work with the Big Shot. Thank you also for your excellent and thorough videos. I always enjoy and learn from them.

  291. I love being able tp speak my mind about a product. I love my BIG SHOT…I bought my first nesttie from JoAnns last week on sale and I love it. I love that this product has a larger platform. Thank you for this web site and the product demonstration.

  292. I own a cricut and a big shot. just started using the dies. I love the bigger dies but can’t afford the calibur. I do like what you can do with them. It’s great

  293. This is fantastic and love having the opportunity to put my name into the hat! Thank you. Right now I only have the Sissix Purse and the small Cricut and would love to add this to my toolbox! Enjoy your newsletters and great ideas!

  294. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try the Spellbinder die cuts.. i love your websites!!!! hope I win!!!!

  295. Ever since I’ve picked up the grand nestabitities circle by mistake and found out I didn’t have the machine to use these I’ve been toying with the idear of getting one for myself. Your tutorial and product review is just the convincing I needed! Just love it!

  296. I have the Big Shot and am so impressed with it. I have used it to cut out paper, card stock, leather etc. It never disappoints. I think the Nestabilities would love to reside in my craft room right next to it. What a great give-away,

  297. I have the cricut and cuttlebug. I use the cuttlebug the most because of the size. My poor cricut stays in its box because I just don’t have the room for it to be out all the time. I just got the SU top note die and am in love with it! Haven’t ventured into the Nestabilities yet, but these would be an awesome start. Thanks for the chance to win them!

  298. Ilove using my cuttlebug, and it’s easy to take with me. But I also like using my accucut 4100, it accomadates all sixes except dies larger than 12″ wide. I love all your projects, keep them coming. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

  299. Thanks for the great projects you always share. You’re the bomb!

    I have some nest abilities, but forget to use them. Thanks for the reminder. I would love to win’

  300. Andrea…You are so crafty. I so LOVE seeing what you’ve created every week. I own a Cuttlebug and use it for my card making and I love cutting foam with it as well. All of the Spellbinder dies are beautiful and I LOVE eveyone that I have. There’s always room for more Spellbinder dies and I’d make a special place in my craft room for the new Spellbinders Grand Calibur…. Thank You so much for giving me a chance to win it. I could then make bigger projects.. YEAH!!! Thank you once again and I hope you have a great weekend. I’ll keep my eyes open for the e-mail.

  301. I own the Cuttlebug and love it (especially since it’s lime green LOL!)!! I even got my daughter the Cuttlekids die cutting system. I didn’t know that you could use the Nestabilities with the Cuttlebug. Thanks for the opportunity to win! And a HUGE thank you for the inspirational ideas you lovingly share with us!!

  302. Throwing my name in the box of bowl of names to be drawn!!! I own the Big Shot and a Craft Robo….a girl can never, ever have too many tools! I would love to own some of these dies…they look awesome.

  303. Thank you for the opportunity to win! I would love to have this machine! It is the only thing I need to complete my scrapbook/card making obsession! I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it!!!

  304. I have owned the Big Shot for quite some and just love it,love it love it. I have created some very beautiful cards for many occasions.

  305. I am in LOVE with my Cuttlebug! I use it every day and am addicted to Spellbinders dies. I can’t get enough. Since I mainly make cards, the Cuttlebug is the perfect size for me and it allows me to be very creative.
    Thank you for having such a “grand” giveaway.. I would love to win MORE Spellbinders!

  306. I would love the chance to win these nestabilities. I also love the purses you made with the grand calibur. They are lovely and would make a wonderful gift for someone

  307. I now have a Big Shot though I have not taken it out of the box yet to play with it. I need to win these to have something to play with so I can take it out of the box! Not knowing what I need to use I ordered a couple SU things we used at a demo. Thanks for a chance to win.

  308. I invested in a Big Shot several years ago. I was so excited to learn that nestabilities were compatible with it. Now I’m working on getting some of their nesties dies. I love the many layers that work together. Thanks for a great product demonstration!

  309. Hi Andrea,
    I have a Big Shot right now. I had a cuttlebug first, but like the stability of the Big Shot better. I love, love, love the Spellbinders dies! I am a cardmaker and use them for my cards or an occassional book. Couldn’t do without it!
    Joan!!!

  311. I own a big shot (got it a few months ago) and as of now, the only thing I’ve used it for is making cards. My favorite thing to do with my big shot is use the embossing folders. I love the feel and texture it gives to the cardstock.

  312. I have a Big Shot and a Little Kick that I use both all the time.
    I have a couple of nestabilities but would love to have more.
    So they could use a good home at my place!

  313. I have a Big Shot but love using my Spellbinder dies in it – I have a lot of their shapes such as bugs and leaves as well as the little frames to put ribbon around. I think the nestabilities would be a great addition to my cardmaking as well – I can just see the stamped images in the center of the main “frame”.

  314. I absolutely LOVE my Big Shot from Stampin’ Up!! I use it all the time. I have some SU! dies and folders. I also love the Tim Holtz Alterations Dies (including the Tag and Book Plate die for Club 52), and love all of them. I didn’t know if I’d use the Big Shot very much, but I do!! I find myself reaching for it all the time. I’ve even been making die cut flowers from one of the SU! dies out of the packing paper that comes in their orders. Just scrunch them up, add a bit of smudging with inks, some small pearls… and I have beautiful antique looking flowers. I was looking at the Nestabilities just a week ago, and they have been added to my wish list. Thanks PCL, you’re projects are amazing!!

  315. I have a Big Shot from Stampin up and I love it. I dont have any of the Spellbinder die cuts. I would love to try them.
    Connie

  316. Hi – I have my gorgeous Cuttlebug. I haven’t purchased a Spellbinder, but have seen them used and they seem just perfect. I love making 3-d things and cards. Hopefully my next purchase will be a Spellbinder. Thanks for the opportunity to win one and give it a try. That would be fabulous.

  317. Thanks for your videos, Andrea. They always inspire me! I have the BigShot which I use mostly for the thicker dies. I also have the Grand which I had to have after seeing it at CHA. Wonderful machine! I use my grand dies in it but it is soooo great for cutting lots of other dies in one pass! AND….. (drum roll, please)…. embossing to die for! ! ! So much deeper than using other machines. And…no shims! Love that! Wouldn’t trade it or my Spellbinders for anything! I use them on every card I make.

  318. Thanks for all the info, Andrea. I own a Bigshot and love it. My hubby got it as my christmas present for me last year. I don’t own any nestabilities yet, so would love to win some.

  319. I love the large plates and the distinct embossed edge on the Spellbinder dies. Thanks for the chance to win the dies!

  320. Hi there and thanks for the chance to win~!
    I started with the Cuttlebug, even bought the kiddie sized one for my daughter to play with, and now have moved up to the Big Shot. I really like making paper ‘containers’ for treats or small gifts. Haven’t tried any Nestabilities, but I’ve had my eye on them for a while.

  321. I use my nestabilities with my Big Shot. I only have 4 sets so far, but none of the grand-sized ones. They are so versatile and add such a professional touch to cards and scrap book pages…another important tool that you can use every day. Thanks for the info and tutorials…very informational and easy to understand. I’d LOVE to win some!!!

  322. This looks to be what I need!!! I have a disability and playing with paper and ink has been the greatest therapy to date!!! This new machine would certainly make things easier. Thank you for all your help, inspiration and tutorials.

  323. i own a cuttlebug and a vagabond and love them both. but I must admit that I’ve been temped to purchase the grand calibur machine. thanks for a chance to win one.

  324. I have the Cuttlebug and the Big Shot and I love them both. I like to do all kinds of projects with them for cards to scrapbook emblishments and beyond.
    Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  325. I LOVE the Grand Calibur and couldn’t wait to get it, now I have to get more dies!
    Thanks for the opportunity of winning some.

  327. I love my big shot. I use nesties, texture folders sizzlits and sizzix dies with it. It has made creafting so much faster and easier. Thanks for the chance to win some nesties.

  329. I have a big shot machine and use the top note die when I’m making cards. I also recently bought the beautiful wings embosslit and just love making those cute butterflies! I love projects that use nestabilities though I don’t have any yet myself – thanks for the tutorial, it’s great to see how they are used!

  330. I am new to crafting, and just received my big shot as a gift. I don’t have alot to use with it yet, and I would love to win some nesties to expand my knowledge and craft expertise.

  331. I have the cuttlebug and I love it. I have a few spellbinders and I find the result of the two combined very professional. I usually use them for card making. Thanks for alway sharing your beautiful creations.

  332. I have a Big Shot and a Cricut 5th Anniv. Cricut. I really like the Cricut for cuts but use the big shot for embossing. I’m new at paper crafts so just learning but having a blast! Thanks for the tutorial and info on new products!!

  333. I own a Sizzix Big Shot and use dies mostly to make cards of all types (birthday, holiday, Thank you, etc) and gift tags. I like the Big Shot for cutting and and I really love the look of embossing. I have recently bought some Spellbinder Nestabilities to try. I find your videos very helpful to expanding what I do in crafting. Thank you.

  334. I like using the big shot and the cricut machine. I like to make a lot of bags, favors and cards..

  336. I use both the Cuttlebug and Big Shot and love them both. I’ve had equally good success using nestabilities in these machines. It’s tough to pick a favorite project. I mostly use nestabilities for card making, but I also love using them for making tags. Basically, they add depth and make any paper crafting project better!

  337. What a great tutorial and lovely box ….was a great review also for the Grand Caliber. Thank you so much for doing it.

  338. I use my Nestabilities with my Cuttlebug. I use them mostly for card making. I send handmade cards to the “Cards For Soldiers” charity. Please check them out. I love my Nestabilities and would love to try out the larger size. Thanks for the chance.

  339. I have a Cuttlebug and use it for different backgrounds and dies on cards. I have not yet used the Spellbinders but have seen them used and would love the opportunity to win one!! Many thanks for the chance!!

  340. I own a Big Shot. I had no idea you could use Nestabilities in it!!! I like the idea of being able to use more than one die at a time. Thank you for sharing this information and video. I sure would love to win some new product to try in my Big Shot!!

  341. I have a Big Shot and love it both for die cutting and embossing. Haven’t yet tried any nestabilities – they look great for layering! Would be thrilled to win one of these sets! Thanks for your tutorials – so easy to follow!

  342. I just bought the grand as my first die embossing machine. It is fabulous! I have just a couple dies, and would love to win more! I make cards for my sons friends who are deplore with the Army! Giving them a bit of my time for all their sacrifice!

  343. Thanks for the great tutorial! I just recently bought a Cuttlebug on sale and the Spellbinders dies would be a great big bonus. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  346. I have a Big Shot and Sizzix dies as well as a variety of Nestabilities dies. I recently purchased a couple of the Grand Nestabilities dies, but have not yet purchased the Grand Caliper as yet. Thank you so much for the tutorial on how to use it. I am hoping to get it for Christmas! I love ALL of your projects and tutorials! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! :o)

  347. I have the Sizzix electric Big Shot and I really enjoy it. I was using it a lot for embossing and card class and a friend had many Spellbinders Nestibilities. Another friend as a Grand Caliber and she just loves it. So ooyu are right there are pluses for each machine. Thanks for giving me a chance to win! I’d love it!

  348. How to pick from all the people who comment! You sure have your job ” cut out ” for you over this give away for the Spell Binder’s product. These die cut products are really fun to use. I enjoy being a charter member to your website where you have so much for us to learn and create. Thanks for all you do.

  349. I own the Big Shot and use it for cards with Spellbinders dies all the time. Would love to win the dies you are giving away!

  352. Oh goodie, I’ve wanted these spellbinder dies, and now I even have a chance to win them!!!. I have a Big Shot and the cuttlebug so glad to hear they will work in either.

  356. Thank you for the review of the Grand Calibur.. Spellbinders dies are wonderful.. so easy to use and the end product is fabulous! Thanks for sharing your talent with us all. ~ Pam T.

  358. I only have my Cuttlebug machine and I love it! I wish to have the Spellbinders to try them on my cuttlebug and start doing something different. Your cards are so cute, thank you very much for sharing.

  360. Hi my name Anita from South Africa – I have become a Scrap-a-holic and a Cuttlebug-a-holic – I saved and saved and saved until eventually I had enough money to purchase my cuttlebug with a number of embossing folders and dies and have never looked back …. I have become an avid “cuttlebugger” and use my creativity in making cards, scrapbooking and invitations. It is so easy to use, and best of all, I can purchase embossing folders/dies from spellbinders and use them in my cuttlebug! So, as I write this, Im about to start scrapadoodling and cuttlebugger for the day on an album of a friends trip to Disney Land. Thank you for great site and for all your newletters ~ Anita

  361. I own a big shot and have been dying to try the nestabilities which I have never used before. I would love to be the winner for this great item. Thanks for sharing your talent with so many of us.

  362. You are amazing with the creative ideas you come up with! Thanks so much for sharing this great idea to be adapted for a unique way of wrapping CDs as Chrismas gits. Wish I had one of these die cuts to use with my new Big Shot – but as Disney says, “Wishes do come true” – so who knows? Thanks for the chance to win.

  363. I loved your video on the Grand Caliburt, and having the differant colours plate make it earsier to see at a glance what you need to use, and having it on the machine to remind you is great, also to have a chance to win one of those spellbinders, just cool.

  364. The Grand Caliburt is so awesome. This is so awesome and the kind of projects and possibilities are endless.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win the dies.

    Regards
    Murtuza

  365. I own a Sizzix Big Shot and use dies mostly to make cards of all types (birthday, holiday, Thank you, etc) and gift tags. I like the Big Shot for cutting and I really love the look of embossing. I have recently bought some Spellbinder Nestabilities to try. I find your videos very helpful to expanding what I do in crafting. Thank you.

  368. Thanks for all the information that you give! I love your projects! I only have the Big Shot, I see that I need to expand. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  369. Thank you for the chance to win!! I now have a big shot and I use it for just about every card I make!!
    Love the video and your clever ideas.

  370. I have and LURVE my Cuttlebug. Since I left it out of the box, I use it even more now (funny about that isn’t it??) The C’bug gives me creative options with both die cuts and dry embossing (which I think I am addicted to a bit) I even…thru a little lateral thinking….found a way to use a Sizzix Bigz L die thry the C’bug and it did not let me down. Who knew something green could be so much fun???
    Thanks for the FAB video too. Awesome project. ooxx

  372. Super excited about these!!! This is also my first comment ever left on anything besides Facebook!!! Yea.

  373. I own a cuttlebug and the cricut ,use them both. I have been thinkling about purchasing the Big Shot.
    Have never used Spellbinders but after seeing your video it looks like I just may have to get some.
    Thank you for all your inspirations and the chance to own and experiment with something new.
    Your Videos are awesome!

    Karen

  374. I have just broadened my horizons and started using Spellbinders this year, and I confess I am in LOVE with them. They are just awesome! I have heard a lot about the Grand Calibur but haven’t seen one in action so your video tutorial is fantastic. Your project as always is just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing with everyone. I can’t wait for the next tutorial! xoxo

  375. I have the Big Shot, and can’t hardly do a card or project without it. If I’m not die cutting, I am dry embossing with it!! I really need circles though, so am thrilled at this chance to win these. I had borrowed some nesties once, and had a hard time getting the embossing in the right place. Seems it would slide while running it through, so would love to win these and have them long enough to be able to make friends with them! lol I really love the look they give. Thanks for the great video.

  376. I have a Big Shot and I love it. I enjoy my nestabilities most as it’s such fun creating bigger designs of the same shape using different colours and patterns.

  377. I love my Cuttlebug. Getting so much use out of it, especially with a few favorite Nesties dies. Love to use them on my card projects!

  378. Wow Wow Wow !! Love it!! I have nesties and didn’t know how to use them. I feel like I can do it now! I love the card box. I might just have to try that out now! Thanks for the videos and the chance to win 🙂

  379. So far I do all of my die cutting on my Cricut Expression using SCAL software and SVG files. I also have a Cuttlebug that I use mainly for embossing and I just got a Big Shot (deal I couldn’t pass on). I don’t have any dies yet so I’d love to win the Spellbinders! Your cards are beautiful! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!

  380. I have the Big Shot and I use nesties and dies from Stampin Up I purchase on Ebay. I love all of your projects. Sometimes I am so impressed by your creations that I get all nervous because I want to make it too. (Like today, WOW!!). Greetings, Petra

  382. I own a Cuttlebug. I love it! I use my Spellbinders all the time for cards, gift tags, wall plaques, mini albums, and anything else I can think of to use them for. I use all different dies for cards, but the Spellbinders are what I reach for consistently. Thanks for a chance to win. Great review of the machine.

  383. Hi Andrea, I am really enjoying your e-mails, I am learning and trying so many new things 🙂
    I have a spellbinders Wizzard which sadly had a ‘dead’ area in the middle so I was thinking of a grande calibur. I love to cut mats and shapes, christmassy stuff like snowflakes with lots of detail and embossing are a particular favourite of mine at the moment and my e-bay used cricut and Scal software is better for larger items like shaped cardblanks.

  384. I own a cuttlebug and I love it, espiacially with the embossing folders and the spellbinder dies for labels, I use them often in cardmaking! Thanks for the chance to win. Greetings from Italy!

  385. I am currently using the Big Shot to die cut. Mostly use it for making cards, and labels for scrapbooking. I have als used it with the scallop square die to make bags and baby quilts (like rag quilts). This video on the Grand Calibur looks very interesting! Thanks!

  386. I have a cuttlebug and own some nesties. Thank you for the chance to win a set. Your site is
    Very informative. Aloha

  390. I have both the Big Shot and the Cricut. I use the Big Shot the most, because I love card making.

Keep them coming!

  391. I love our Sizzix Big Shot and use nestabilitys and other dies and embossing folders. These purses are so cute! Thank you for a chance to win.

  399. I have owned and used my Cuttlebug for 5 years now and I love it.I use it to make cards .
    I have several of the spellbinders Nestabilites dies but strangely i don’t have the circles or the large scalloped rectangles. I must have been waiting for a chance to WIN them, ha ha . I do like the large format of the grand calibur , maybe someday, *sigh* I’ll get one

  401. I have a cuttlebug and I love to emboss metallic paper with my new starburst embossing folder. It looks fabulous especially on Christmas cards.

  402. You never cease to amaze me! I have learned sooooo many techniques and have tried so many products because you demonstrated them and I learned more about how to better use them. This project is adorable and I love the clear box base. I am glad to know how to get that. Thanks for your ideas, sharing and creativity.

  403. I only have one set of the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies but I absolutely love them!! I use them with my Big Shot and it works great! I’d love to win more 🙂

  406. I just purchased a Big Shot. I love to use it for textured projects. I do not own any Spellbinders Nestabilities. I would love to try these! There are so many beautiful things you can make with them. I’ve gotten my neighbors to make cards with me. Oh– the fun we could have with spellbinders. I love to see what you make.

  407. I love my SIssiz Big Shot and though I only own one set of dies I use it frequently. I would love to have more dies and try new things with it. Thanks for always being an inspiration.

  408. I have the big shot and the mini sizzix. I love the both and use them often. I volunteer/donate a great deal of time and supplies to charities and third world countries. I make two hundred cards at Christmas to be sold to raise money for the united way as well I create 100 to 150 card kits each year that I provide to the schools in the third world countries that I visit when we travel. The kits are complete with glue and all materials to make at least one card per student in the school to be shared with a family member. Myself and two other ladies spend two or three afternoons at the school working with the kids to create the cards. The big shot and mini sizzix make creating these cards much easier. Right now my favorite is the ornament embossing folder from cuttlebug and the ornament die from spellbinder used together to create an elegant but simple card. Without people like you on the Internet I know I would have trouble being as creative as I am as I case many sights to create the cards and kits. Thanks for sharing.

  409. I love the Spellbinders Grand Calibre. I am looking to upgrade my cutting system (Cuttlebug) to something that uses larger plates. I think this may be just what I am looking for. The little reminder tab for the different sandwiches is a big bonus to me. Your tutorial is AMAZING. I can’t wait to get some new Grand Nestibilites. Maybe even win some new ones to start my collection. Thanks for the chance.

  410. Thanks for the video and review. It is nice to see the product in action and to hear what someone really crafty thinks about it. I have a Cuttlebug and really love it. I can’t even imagine what I could do with a machine like this one. Thanks for sharing.

  411. I love Spellbinder dies. It makes the project complete with the embosed edge and clean cuts. I also like the way you can line up die over project for the perfect cut. I see others talking about making cards so let me mention, please don’t for get nursing homes and Caring Cards Ministry. I volunteer at a local nursing home doing crafts and most of the people there have no money and love the crafts and people interaction. I take my projects already cut out so all they have to do is assmeble. They feel so happy about their creation and love someone doing something for them that they don’t have to pay for. Volunteer! Caring Card Ministry is a great way to send someone a card that really needs some cheer or uplifting their spirits!

  412. You have the most creative ideas !! I love the box tutorial. Oh I should say I love all your tutorials. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!

  413. I just bought the Grand Calibre! Thanks so much for the video and project. I now know what I am making first.

  414. The spellbinder dies look wonderfull. I have the original sizzix machine and a cricut.Your video on the Grand Calibur was great.

  415. I love my Spellbinders dies. They are so useful for so many crafting projects. I have a Big Shot and I use the dies for card making and scrapbooking.

  416. Thanks for sharing. I have a Cuttlebug and a Big Shot and I love using the Spellbinder dies, especially the embossing feature. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  417. Wow…I’ve never used the Spellbinders (I’ve been stuck in my cave for a while now) but these look soooo cool–oh, the possibilities. I would love the chance to create those projects, and many more. Thanks for the introduction, and the opportunity to win.

  418. I just got a Big Shot as my Christmas present this year (which I shamelessly opened early to make Christmas cards). I am just starting to collect dies and embossing folders so this would be such a wonderful addition! Thanks!

  419. I don’t have a die cutting machine at the moment, but a dear friend is sending me her Cuttlebug that she does not use anymore, I would love to win these dies to start off with. Thank you for the chance.
    Blessings
    Joyce

  420. I watched a video with the grands and sent away for them but the largest won’t fit in my big shot so I was debating about the bigger machine thanks for the chance to see it in action …Love Dee

  423. I have a Big Shot and use it just about everytime I papercraft. I love using it for backgrounds for cards and love making 3d projects like boxes. Would love to win these! I have some leaves nestabilities and love them! What an awesome and generous prize.

  424. Christmas is an awesome holiday for paper crafting – great family fun. The dies make the projects so beautiful and easy. Thanks for a chance to win even more.

  425. I have a big shot machine and love it. I also love using Spellbinders. I love how you did the shading. Thanks for sharing your goodies.

  426. I have a Cuddlebug and use nestabilities for card making, which allows me to stack the same shape, which I love and to make toppers for gift bags. At present I only have one shape, but would love more especially the circles. Hope you pick my name!

  427. One again you have out did yourself on the cards! I do not own any Spellbinders dies so I welcome the opportunity to win some. Thank you!

  428. Love my Bigshot it is sooo reliable, I’ve used it so much and it has never let me down. I like to cut with my “Nesties” mainly to combine with my stamps to make cards.

  429. I have a Big Shot and love, love, love it!!!! I have a couple of Spellbinder die cuts but have wanted these for a while. I use them mostly on cards but also on scrapbook pages!!! Thx for the chance! Love the project by the way!!!!

  430. I have a Big Shot. My favorite projects are anything 3D. Right now I’m loving the little boxes made with two milk cartons. Thanks for the chance to win the die.

  431. Would so love to win these dies. I have a Cuttlebug, but I have never used the nestabilities. Haven’t seen the Grand Calibur yet. Will be sure and watch your video. Love the “Freebie Friday’s”, and all your ideas.

  432. I’d love to win!! I have a Big Shot and I just couldn’t live without it!! It’s amazing what we can do with it. Hoping I’ll win! Thanks.

  433. I have a Big Shot. I shyed away from using Nestabilities because it almost seemed too simple and I was afraid they looked so fragile. I tried my first project last month for a Halloween project for my grandson using my first Lacey Circles Nestabilities. Was a bit nervous at first but the ease of it? WOW! The project took so little time that I almost felt like I missed something. I just had to show my SU friends and now we’re all using Nestabilities and trying it out in different ways. And the Nestabilities themselves are more sturdy than I ever imagined. Not as delicate as they looked in the package. So I am hoping I can win another Nestabilities set! Thanks for the opportunity!

  435. I have Big Shot and few Spellbinder Nestabilities dies and also some Lifestyle Nesting Dies. I love using the Nestabilities Classic Scallop Circle small for making shaped card or tag.

  439. I have a number of the Spellbinders dies and love them! I love the fact that they cut and emboss and the options are endless. I have a cuttlebug and a Cricut for die cutting. I would love to get the Grand Callibur for the larger dies offered by Spellbinders some day. Thank you for the video and helpful hints!

  440. I love using the nestibilities with my Sizzix Big Shot. Since I am not as near as creative as you are, I LOVE seeing all of the items on your blog. You’re amazingly talented!

  441. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Big Shot and have been considering the Grand Calibur. Thanks for the video introduction. She make it look so easy. I love the project you made with it too. Thanks for the chance to win!

  442. I have a few spellbinders sets and I love them. They add so much to a card. I wish I knew more about them, as I fear I could probably do even more. I would LOVE an opportunity to win some.

  443. Love my Big Shot and Spellbinders…..the creativity is endless! I would love to win the Grand Calibur……we do not seem to have them in our area of the crafting world. Hugs for all you do!

  444. I too would love one of the Grand Callibur machines and have been looking at some of the larger dies, but it sure would be nice if there was one machine that could accomodate all the cutting pads out there….but for now i will just dream….How nice for you and your sister to recieve such a wonderfully deserving gift…keep up the GREAT work.

  445. I don’t own any of these but I sure would love to have one. It seems to make great things. I enjoy doing crafts but money is tight. So I would love to win this machine.

  446. LOVE my Nesties! I use the label dies because the shapes add so much to my projects. Would love to win these. Thanks for the chance to do so.

  447. I have a Cuttlebug which has served me faithfully for 10 years. The only drawback is that you can’t use dies bigger than 6″. Usually use it with Spellbinders. Thanks so much for give-away offer.

  448. I own the Big Kick by sizzix. I love it! I can cut just about any manufacturer’s dies with it – except those huge dies by spellbinders. I do own 3 sets of regular size dies from spellbinders and sadly only 2 sizzix dies – but I am working on building my collection – one piece at a time. So winning these dies would really help my collection grow a bit faster! Thanks for the opportunity and the great review!

  449. I love this idea! I would to win the dies too. I have been stampIng and papercrafting for just under a year now and l love it. I really appreciate all your videos I learn so much from them! Thanks!

  451. Wow, it looks as if I’m not the only one that would love to win the dies. I only have one Spellbinders dies. Well, my fingers are crossed. I’d love you to pick me and then I’d have three. I love the Christmas cards, thank you for sharing your ideas. I currently use the Cuttlebug. Thank you again.

  452. These cards are just beautiful. My friends and family would be privileged to receive one of these.
    The only machine I own is the Big Shot and I would love to own this new machine. I love all of your
    projects but these cards are breath taking. Thanks so much for offering them .Hope I am the winner.

  453. Spellbinders and I have a love affair. We can’t get enough of each other. We create multitudes of terrific projects. Cutting, embossing and paper, what a combination, and we will be compatible for a long time.

  454. I own the Big Kick and love it. I also have a Cuttlebug that I have owned forever.The Cuttlebug is easier to transport , but use both. My 7 year old granddaughter has been using them since she was 5.

  455. Hi, I use a Big Shot and also have a Cuttlebug. Like them both. Great video as I am a better visual learner. I use a lot of different dies from different companies and like them all.

  456. I use a Cuttle Bug at home and have borrowed the spellbinders dies from a friend – they worked really well! Would love to have my own set!

  457. I love the Nestabilities, I started purchasing them about 2 years ago. I think they are a must for advanced card making and scrapbooking.

  458. Thanks Andrea for this informative tutorial. Spellbinders products are now on my ‘must have’ list!

  459. Unfortunately or fortunately I have a Big Shot, the Big Shot Pro and a cuttlebug – and I love them all. I don’t use the Pro as much, but it works with the Accucut Dies I have. I really enjoy using the Spellbinders dies – I just don’t have enough. Hope I can win these. Thanks for all of your projects.

  460. I have the big shot-LOVE IT-I also have a few of the spellbinders nestabilities & they are so nice. I love all the different sizes you get with each one. Thanks for sharing.

  462. I just started using Spellbinders and I realy like the look they give to my finished projects. Thanks for the chance to win.

  463. My cuttlebug is like the ever ready bunny lately! It’s helped me make my daughter’s wedding invitations, thank you cards for her shower and wedding gifts, favour tags, and now wedding announcements for those from afar. I love being able to emboss and cut not to mention at the same time! Great video on the Grand Calibur. Good luck everyone!

  464. I love spellbinders and would love to win these dis…. your videos are awesome thanks so much for sharing them with us

  465. Thanks for the opportunity to win some Spellbinders, I love them and have attained a few. I have a Big Shot as well as a child’s Cuttlebug die cutter that I use for them. I use my Spellbinders with every card I make. Again thanks for the chance to win some.

  466. I own a Big Shot, but love ALL dies!! I love it when other companies make their product campatible with other brands. The Grand Calibur really sounds great because of the large platform. I would love this because I use my dies with just about every project I make and like you said, “this opens up a whole lot of new possibilities.” Thanks for the review, Andrea; and I would love, love to win the dies!

  467. I am a SU demonstrator and own a Big Shot and Cricut too. I love to challenge myself with my spellbinder dies! There are so many different ways to use them as you have shown us here. Absolutely fabulous design and colors!!!! Love the purse idea too. Your site is so creative and always gives me that extra push to try harder to keep experimenting with things and trying things that I would not do ordinairly!
    Thanks for all your wonderful ideas! I would love to have these dies to try some of your ideas out.

  468. thank you for all the great projects you have. love the way you present them . keep up the good work . would love to win . don’t have those.

  469. I have a Cuttlebug and I really like the Spellbinders and Nestability dies. I would like to win one of these dies. Thanks.

  470. I love Spellbinder dies and currently use them frequently in my Cuttlebug. The large platform that the Grand Calibur would be wonderful! Thanks, Andrea, for the review!

  471. Just got my new Big Shot. I am so looking forward to purchasing some more dye cuts and embossing folders to make these beautiful cards and gifts. I gave my Big Kick to my future daughter in law and she was so thrilled to have it.

  472. Hi there: I have just purchased the Cuttlebug and love it so much for embossing. I have started buying spellbinders and they work great in this machine. I am using the die cuts for my cards and would love to add to my collection by winning your Friday Freebie. Regards, Carol

  473. I own a Cuttlebug. When I first purchased it I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it. Now I don’t know what I did without it. It works with so many of the other dies as well as their own. I love the embossing folders and the elegance it adds to cards.

  474. I use my Big Shot on nearly every project I make–embossing, die-cutting, etc. . I love it.
    DMS

  476. I currently use the Cricut and Cuttlebug. I use mine mostly for scrapbooking but have just recently started branching out into altered mediums. What a great way for me to explore even more than trying the Spellbinders. You can help me enhance my creative potential!!!!

  477. I have the Sizzix big shot pro and love! You can use any name brand die with this big shot. Love your website!

  478. Just watched the video and loved the card purses. I have always wanted to try them. I have a cuttlebug and love it. I have been considering purchasing the big shot from SU but, now after your tutorial I am wondering about the grand calibur. Thank you for the chance to win the spellbinder dies my fingers are itching to try them out. Thanks Andrea.

  480. I have a cuttlebug, big shot and a circut. I love them all. I am a scrapbooker and card maker and use them almost everyday. I would love to have the Grand Calibur, it would definitly be a big asset for my scrap pages. TFS and a chance to win one.

  481. I have a Cricut and the old red Sizzix. I use my Cricut a lot on scrapbook layouts and my Sizzix is mostly for embossing now. I just figured out how to use it with Spellbinders dies so recently purchased one – works like a charm! Can’t wait to get more!

  482. I just wanted to say – I LOVE this project! I can’t wait to try this. I have a few of the Spellbinder dies, but don’t have any of the Grand Calibur ones. I didn’t realize they would also fit in the Cuttlebug. Awesome job, as usual showing some unique uses for all the wonderful tools that are out there. Thanks for sharing! Lisa

  483. I have saved to buy a Sizzix Big Shot en last year I finally got it en I just love it.
    I use Spellbinder dies en other dies and embossing folders. I admit it; I’m addicted 😉

  484. I have spellbinders dies, and use my Cuttlebug . I love the dies… And would love to have the Grand Calibur for my scrapbook projects.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  485. I co-own a Cuttlebug with my mom, but I’ve had the Big Shot on my wish list for a long time. I love fabric projects using dies to cut out shapes of fabric, especially on cards and scrapbook pages. It adds an element of texture that you just don’t find with paper.

  486. Thanks for the video – I really liked the Grand Calibur review as well as the project. The labeling and color coding of each component is my favorite feature. Your videos are very clear and easy to follow. I currently own a Big Shot (my favorite), Epic, and a personal Cricut (fairly new). I just recently used the embossing pad effectively on my Big Shot. Love those Spellbinder dies! I would love to win the bigger dies featured today.

  487. I have a Big Shot, and my favorite recent project has been using the Fun Flowers Die from SU to make fabric flowers for headbands and pins.

  488. I own the Big Shot. I love the versatility of the Spellbinder dies. I also really enjoy using the Big Shot with my embossing folders. So far, I’ve been using the Big Shot for card making but I want to get back to my scrapbooking and use it there too.

  490. I love your tutorials and product reviews. This project is beautiful. I have a Big Shot, and use Spellbinder products as well. Love them both.

  491. Thank you for providing this fantastic opportunity. I always look forward to seeing what new ideas you have available. I love using my Big Shot, embossing folders and nesties. Would be pleased and honored to win a new tool for expanding card making potential.

  493. I have bothe the Cuttlebug and a friend gifted me a Big Shot, getting a great deal on sale. I love to emboss and die cut to embelish the front of cards. My favorite thing was making a petal cone gift for my daughter’s baby shower. Die cutting multiples is so easy with the Big Shot.

  494. I have the Cuttlebug. I use it on just about all of my card projects whether embossing or die cutting. I think that having that little extra added touch to my projects makes them stand out from the rest. Thanks for the chance at the Spellbinders – don’t have of them YET!

  495. I have a Big Shot and while I have lots of SU and other dies, nothing beats Nestibilities in versatility. I have a few Spellbinder products besides the Nestabilities and I love them. Thanks for the opportunity to win some more. I love your creativity and always look forward to your next project!

  497. I love my Big Shot and use it all the time for making mini albums, cards and boxes! And now I would love to own this Grand Calibur for using the bigger dies… Thank you for the clear review! Is this machine able to cut the thicker dies as well?
    Loes

  498. Thank you for the review. I am getting this as a Christmas gift this year and can’t wait. I look forward to more of your project you use this with.

  499. How nice to know we can use these with our Sizzix machines, of which I have a Big Kick. Thanks for showing us your projects and giving us the opportunity to win some dies.

  500. Seeing all of the gorgeous projects with the nesties just gets me so excited! I would love to own some of my own! Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with all of us!!! (It really helps with the mo-jo)!

  501. I have yet to get my big shot it is so inspiring to see all that you cant do. I am still a beginner but sure enjoy following all your tips. Thanks so much for all your great ideas.

  502. Love what you have done with the shapes! I love die cutting, and wonder what we ever did without it!

  503. I have the Cuttlebug and I love it. I am very tempted by this S.B. Grand Calibur. I have alot of the nestibilities but not the large ones. I love the purse you made and the paper you used. Thanks for all you bring to us.

  504. I love these products. I truly believe that they really gave some new mojo to us card makers, I am thrilled you reviewd this machine. I have the cuttlebug. I do love it since it’s small!

  506. I own a Big Shot which I LOVE and do use Spellbinders dies in it very successfully. I LOVE diecutting!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win this… so generous of you ladies!

  507. I have just purchased a Big Shot and love it to bits. I only have 1 embossing folder to go in it but I use it to the max. Thankyou so much for the chance to win 2 new sets of dies. I can see lots of possibilities for crafting there.

  508. I own a Cuttlebug and a Big Shot. I love using my machines in card marking- cutting out the dies and using the embossing folders to add some texture. I have a few spellbinder dies and love what they can add to your cards. Thanks so much for sharing and the opportunity to win some more dies! Love your library of projects!!

  511. I have a cuttlebug and I’m a new Stampin’UP demonstrator and I received the Big Shot last thursday. I love the Spellbinder dies because in one set you have many size and they have a great choice of dies. Thanks for a chance to win

  512. Andrea,
    This is such a neat project! The Grand Calibur tutorial was great. I have one on order.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  513. I have the cuttlebug and am pretty happy with it~ Haven’t tried the spellbinders dies with it yet. I like to use my dies for making personalized cards and gifts! Thanks for a chance to win!

  515. I have a Cuttlebug and I realy love it. I have been looking @ Spellbinders dies. I use my Cuttlebug to make tags and lables and 3d items when I make cards and mini-albums.

  516. Wow! Love those cards. Have been using Spellbinders in my Cuttlebug for awhile now. Love them. The ideas are endless.

  517. I love my Cuttlebug but lately have been looking more and more at the Grand Calibur just for the larger dies that are now available. Thanks for the demo and the info.

  519. I own a big shot now and love it. I am enlarging my dies a little at a time but really enjoy using the big shot. No complaints coming from me. Hope I win. i could use those two dies. Love your projects.

    Thanks

  520. I love my Big Shot! I’ve been wanting to try the spellbinders because I see so many great projects out there. Thanks for the great tutorial – you make it look so easy ;o).

  521. I have a Big Shot and use it all the time, but I would love to have the Grand Calibur for larger die cuts! It would be great for larger scrapbook pages. I also use spellbinders dies and love them for making cards and projects.

  522. I use a Big Shot die cut machine and have enjoyed making cards, templates for cards, and embellishments from my machine. As the dies are getting more and more intricate, the Big Shot has served that purpose well giving me clean cuts every time.

  523. What a good idea! I just love the versatility of your box. I haven’t seen those extra large dies in South Africa
    yet, but will be on the lookout for them, that is for sure! I have a cuttlebug and enjoy cardmaking and
    scrapbooking with the nestabilities dies.They are so easy to use. Thanx for the chance to win the circles
    and scolloped rectangles dies. So generous of you.

  524. I started with a Cuttlebug and then got a Big Shot which I love! But it would be even better to have the Grand Calibur so I could cut several things at once. That would be a huge plus for me. Thanks for offering the dies. I love using the ones I have.

  525. I use the cuttlebug and love the great embossing folders by provocraft and sizzix. Especially this Christmas (2011). I love the snowflake #2 and some other dies! I have no experiences with the spellbinders but it looks great to me! What a wonderful way to be taught by you or your team . Keep it up this wonderful ideas that you are sharing with us. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, Andrea..

  526. I love my Cuttlebug. It allows me to effortlessly make beautiful textured/layered cards, tags, and gifts. But the Grand Calibur would allow me to use larger dies, which is one of the drawbacks of the Cuttlebug. Thanks for the chance to win!

  527. I have a Silhouette, but your video just sold me on the Grand Calibur! I have been wanting a die cutting machine for so long, but I never could decide which one to get. Now I know! I mostly scrapbook, but I love the die shapes and the embossing features, which I would use for my scrapbooks, projects and card making. Thanks so much for the terrific video and beautiful project idea and tutorial.

  528. I own the Big Shot and I love my nesties!! These two are on my wish list…so I’m keeping my fingers crossed! I mostly use nesties for layering on cards. Thanks for this chance to win!

  529. Hi Andrea & Sophia,
    I LOVE the dies from Spellbinders! They are super easy to use and take up so little space! As a hobby demonstrator ,I moved on from my Cuttlebug to a Bigshot, so I have not yet tried the Grand Calibur. My Cuttlebug was also wobbly on uneven surfaces , which was one of the reasons I purchased the Bigshot. But I think being able to cut sevral dies at once is fantastic!!
    Thanks for the chance to win !!
    Candy

  531. I own the Big Shot! I have had it for years and LOVE IT! I use it pratically for every project I do!! Thanks for that chance to win!! I have been entering all of your give-a-ways for years and haven’t won yet 🙂 Maybe this is my special time!

  532. Hi Andrea,
    What a lovely gift bag for a journal and gel pens all in an already wrapped bag. I have been making journals for gifts.
    Found the short pens for the calendars you sent me at Staples. You can get a box of 12 for $4.99 (USA) or a set of colored gel pens for the same price. I couldn’t find the short pens at the $Dollar Stores. You have made my Christmas Thank You’s so easy this year.
    Would love to win the Spellbinders. I have a few that I use with my Big Shot but the The Big Calibur is an interesting item to use for large projects. Sure would have made my Journals a lot faster. After my next SU Workshop I might consider purchasing it too.
    Kerry

  535. Christmas is such a great time of year. I enjoy following all the great ideas that you create.

  536. Love my cuttlebug. It also grips only on smooth surfaces, but is light enough that this has never stopped me using it with spellbinders dies to make Cards… cards and more cards! Talk to you on the 11th???

    I learned a few new things through the video.

  545. I use my old cuttlebug machine and love all it can do! I have lots of dies and I mainly use them when decorating my cards. I also have a few box templates, which I love to use, especially now when I`m preparing for the x-mas gifts for the teachers!!

  546. I do not own a die cutting machine, but would be thrilled to own one. My mind is racing with things that I could make from cards to tags to just about anything that my little heart desires! Fingers crossed and thank you for the chance to win.

  547. Hi! Wow, thanks for the chance to win! I own and love my slice machine, although I plan to get a cuttlebug, I like that you don’t have to plug it in and even if its stormy outside it can be still used. So a chance to win these dies is absolutely great, either one would be fabulous. Thanks again. I love the 12 days of xmas, great site!
    Linda

  558. I own the cuttlebug, Big Shot and the Grand Calibur. I love them all and the Grand is great for big projects. I love decorating cards, boxes and bags. Love the spellbinder dies they are by far the best on the market and the designs are endless. Would love to win these sets as I don’t have them yet..
    Thanks for the chance to win them..

  559. Oh how I would love these dies … I just got the Big Shot, and would LOVE to play with these. thank you so much for sharing your products and please put me in the drawing. Thank you!

  560. HI Andrea,
    Thank you so much for your demo of the Spellbinders Grand Callibur. I myself have a Big Shot and I do love it. I also love the Spellbinders dies for their intricate details and the fact that they are nice and thin….making them easy to take anywhere.

  561. I love my Cuttlebug and use Spellbinders dies especially for cardmaking. Thank you for the chance to win.

  563. Loved the video of the Grand Calibur Spellbinders. Now I need one. You make everything look so easy. I have bought your class projects and find them so helpfull. I thank you for sharing your great talent with us.

  564. I have a Big Shot that I love and also a Cuttlebug. I use Spellbinders when I am making my cards and absolutely love them. Sometimes I wonder if I really could finish a card if I didn’t have my Spellbinders. Thanks for the chance to win some more.

  566. I just ordered the Grand Calibur and I cannot wait to get it. I started using the nesties about a year ago and just love the possiblities! Thanks for showing us how to use it, now I won’t have to read the instructions!

  567. I own a big shot and love it. I use it a lot with the embossing folders to make cards. I have several of the Nesites and they are handy because they are so thin. Great video.

  568. Hi,
    I use the Big Shot. I really like it. I’ve never tried the nestabilities, but have always wanted to. I can never decide which one I should get first. 🙂 Thank you for the opportuniity to win!
    Erin

  569. I own a big shot currently and would like to by a machine that handles the larger dies. I love the card purses! Very festive! Thaks for the chance to win!
    Denise

  572. Love the box idea – going to use it to make several Christmas gifts. Love your videos.

  573. Thank you for the review, and thank you for the chance to win such fabulous blog candy! I personally own a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug. I like the Big Shot for my home use, but I find the Cuttlebug to be so much easier to travel with.

  574. I love your project. Thanks for sharing. I also own the Big Shot, and like all the Nestabilities dies.

  575. I love the Sizzix Big Shot. I am a Stampin up demonstrator and love showing the girls how easy it is to use. I have a few spellbinders, but not nearly enough. Love the sample purse you showed us. Thanks.

  576. Thanks for the product pros and cons as I have not seen this particular machine yet! Woo hoo, more dies! Thank you for your wealth of inspiration and your willingness to share to inspire us all!

  577. I have the big shot and suizzex dies. I hope I win so I can add and do my with my projects. love nestiablities too

  578. I love the project you did. I own a cuttlebug and a variety of Embossing folders and cutters that go with it. I was recently introduced to Spellbinders Nestabilities so only have a couple and love them. Thanks for the chance to win the Freebies. It would be lovely if iy came to New Zealand

  579. Oh I love these purse cards! I own the Cuttlebug – I just recently got it so I have not done much with it yet besides embossing. There are so many Spellbinders dies on my wish list, it is a mile long 🙂 But I have never actually tried them so I am happy about this video. I just recently won a set of SB dies and was not really sure how to use them on my Cuttlebug so this helps a ton. Thanks for the chance to win some more of these fabulous dies – my budget is just not budging right now and my wish list is just growing longer 🙂

  580. I just got a Big Shot and LOVE it! I love all of the things I can do with it. Die cutting paper, fabric, etc., embossing, I just love it! Thanks for the chance to add to my current stash of nestabilities!

  581. I love you creations and really enjoy mt Big Shot and spellbinders, thanks for a chance to win…

  582. I would love the opportunity to win this prize. I just got my big shot and have not had the money to purchase any of the nestibilities dies as of yet.

    Thank you for all you do – love your videos and your blog.

  584. Hi Andrea, I got a cuttle bug first and just love it as it is easy to store and use and such a cute colour.
    I have just purchased a big shot so haven’t used it all that much but I am sure I will as I get used to it. I will always keep the cuttle bug as is is so easy to travel with and takes so little space in the car. Thank you for the chance to win some Spellbinder Dies as I have wanted to get some for a while now, this could get me started on another buying spree. Oh what a joy it is to always have something to long for.. Gail.

  585. Thanks for sharing your ideas and projects! I am new to paper crafting and cardmaking, and a machine of this type will definitely be on my Christmas Wish List!

  586. I LOVE diecutting machines!! I have a Big Shot, Purple Wizard and the Grand Calibur!! I love the size choices I have with the grand calibur but find my wizard a lot more easier to use at scrapping get togethers with friends. Now I just need to increase my collection of dies for the Grand so I can share all the fun things that can be done with it with my crafting buddies!!

  587. I have a Big Shot which I use for all kinds of dies and texturizing folders. I love the wonderful projects from Papercrafts.

  588. I have the Original Sizzix, the Sizzix sidekick, the cuttlebug and my Cricut personal cutting machine. I use all of them and especially use my Cuttlebug mostly for my nestibilities dies and my embossing folders, although I use all of them for different things. So far, nothing can replace my Cricut since I got SCAL software. I find I cut more things on it than I ever have on anything else. Now I just want the Expression because you can cut on 12X12 pages. I LOVE making flowers with my die cuts. I put a lot of flowers on my cards and scrapbook layouts. Thank you for opportunity to participate in your give-away!

    Debbie

  589. I have a Cuttlebug and it works great. I have some spellbinder dies and use them on my fronts of cards. Would love to win.

Thanks again for sharing a chance to win along with all the beautiful cards in the 12 Weeks of Christmas! Janie O.

  592. Hi Andrea! I have a Big Shot machine and I specially like using the embossing folders they have. thanks for featuring Spellbinders Grand Calibur, it give a fresh insight to us crafters. Great job and thanks for posting a crisp clear video.

  593. I love the Big Shot and I love all the Spellbinder dies. I like to make mini books and use the various dies for them. Would love to win. I love the project you chose and also would like the Grand Caliber machine and some of the dies for my projects. Thank you for a chance to win these dies.

  594. I have the Big Kick & I love die-cutting & embossing. I own a few nestabilities but REALLY love the grand size. Just think of all the possibilities. I only wish they werent $50 a set. I enjoy your videos & wonderful projects, looking forward to many more.

  595. I love using the Cuttlebug and the Bigshot. I am intrigued by the nestabilities. I hope to win one. They look fantastic!!!

  596. I have a cuttlebug but just have embossing folders. I allways wished for spellbinders nestebilities,but never got one,because i live in a other country then the USA. Hope really bad to win the nestebilities!
    Thanks for making this wining chance i really am very thankful.

  597. Thanks for sharing the new product video. I love my big shot and I use it all the time for crafting. My favorite is making the boxes so quick and easy. Your tutorial was great. Thanks

  598. These nestabilities are awesome! How lucky would I be to win them! Thanks for the opportunity.

  600. I would love to win. I don’t own any of the nestabilities yet….Thanks for all your information.

  601. I have a Big Shot and I love Spellbinders dies because they have so many shapes, sizes, I’ve just bought the Parisian Motifs at the Hobby Show in Rome and I love it so much ! Thank you for the opportunity ! :o)

  602. I love my cuttlebug and use my spellbinder dies in it but it would be lovely to own a Grand Calibur to be able to make larger die cuts. Thanks for offering such a wonderful gift. Kindest regards

  603. Andrea

    Thank you for doing this and making our crafting easier. I have the Big Shot and I saw your video on the Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and just love it. I have some of the Nestabilities but have never seen the large ones. I like the idea that their plates are marked which is something my Big Shot does not do and I sometimes have to guess what one to use. I would love to win these two Nestabilities and to be able to re-create your Card Purses. I will hold my breath until November the 11th.

    Donna

  604. I use an old big kick that I bought from a friend who wasn’t using it for $20. I think it was my best investment yet. I pay that much for the dies! I’m going to try to make the purse card using my Cricut, since I have that design to cut with Accent Essentials. Love them both.

  605. I have a Cuttlebug and use it with my Spellbinder dies all the time. the only problem is, I can’t use the larger Grand spellbinders because it is only 6″ wide. The problem I see with the Grand Calibur is that you can’t use any of the deep die cuts in it-only the thin Spellbinder type so I’d still need my CB. I’m toying with adding the Grand Calibur to my craft room so that I can use the grand dies. I’d love to win a couple more dies. Love your site…so informative and inspirational.

  606. I love my Big Shot and use other dies and embossing folders. These purses are gorgeous! Thank you for a chance to win.

  607. Andrea~
    I just absolutely love your work along with your sister Sophia. I unfortunately don’t have any machines. I would live to own one someday but with 5 Children I don’t have extra to buy goodies for myself. I would love to have this machine. I have a good friend that has several duplicates of dies and such and If I win this she would be honored to give them to me…lol

  608. I use a Big Shot and use it all the time. I love making cute little favor boxes and bags. I love making treat surprises for my kindergarten class. They just love them. I just did a little Mummy box for them for Halloween. This little Spellbinder has my interest. It looks small and compact……hummmmm the nestabilities also have my attention because they can be used with other machines. Thanks for always sharing with us. Your card purses are to die for!!!!

  610. Hi Girls, I love your site, thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas.
    I have the Big Shot and love love love it. I use Sizzix, Spellbinders, Stampin Up and Cuttle Bug dies and embossing folders. I would love to add new Spell Binders to my collection.
    Thank you again

  611. I am a proud new owner of the Big Shot and am enjoying playing with this new machine. I would love the chance to win some dies. I love the updates of new projects which inspire me to try things I would never have thought of. You are very creative. Love your projects!!!

  612. Thanks for another great tutorial. I think I understand the Nestabilities much better now. I have the big shot and a cricut. Love both and use them to make cards and of course, embellishments for scrapbook pages. Thanks for a chance to win these dies. I had been kinda scared of these because I didn’t understand how to use the different plates.

  614. I have a Big Shot and love it. These nestabilities are terrific! Oh my would I be a lucky lady crafter to win these. I’ve got my fingers crossed! X

  615. I love my Big Shot. My favorite things to make are 3-D projects. Thanks for the chance to win.

  616. I use the Big Shot but LOOOOOOOVE ur tutorial and would love to win…(.as would 900+ others lol).
    Love ur blog!!

  619. I just bought the Big Shot, after years of trying to decide which machine to buy…I finally took the big step. Now I am so confussed which dies to buy. I have bought a few, and a few emosing folders. I think my favorite right now is the wood grain by Paper Trey ink. Thank yo for all you do for the paper crafting world!

  620. I love my Big Shot and I use it constantly to make cards. I have many dry embossing dies but not shapes. I would really like to win these dies. Thanks for the opportunity.

  621. I am a CM consultant and only have the Custom Cutting System and Shape Makers!!! I do not own an embossing machine but I would LOVE one SOON!!! CM just started selling the Cricut maching, but I have used a BIG SHOT a few times recently at a card workshop and I absolutely LOVE it and WANT ONE!!! But, now they have the GRAND CALIBUR and the choices are even tougher on which one I should get!!! Ohh, decisions, decisions!!! 🙂
    Love your videos and all your projects!!!

  622. Aren’t Big Shots and Nestabilities awesome! The projects you come up with really help me make the most use out of them. And a chance to win free product as well? You are simply the BEST!!!!! Thanks for everything!

  623. I have just ordered the Big Shot, haven’t received it yet. So don’t have a favorite project yet, but thinking flowers will be used the most.

  624. I currently own the Vagabond and the Sidekick. I use to own a Big Shot but gave it to my daughter when I got my Vagabond. I love using all Sizzix machines as they are so easy to use and versatile. I love using die cuts on my cards, scrap book pages and altered items. I have even cut out things to use on my tree which turned out awesome.

  625. I love my Sizzex Big Shot, it is made of metal and durable and does not use electricity. I use it to make cards and 3-D objects like boxes and embossing folders. I use mostly Stampin’Up dies because of the detail, but I do have some other brands.

  626. I have the Big Shot and I just love using it to emboss and die cut. Don’t have any Spellninder dies so I would love to win such a fabulous prize. Thanks for the chance.

  627. I love the projects, Now I’ll have to look into getting the Grand Caliber to go along with my Big Shot.
    Wishing I win.
    Love the videos and the pros and cons of the machine.

  628. I’ve always been in envy of those who owned the Spellbinders dies. They seem to add that extra touch to cards and more on every project I’ve seen using them. What a wonderful gift to offer! Your site, and blog are always an inspiration, and I am very grateful for all that you share with all of us in the paper crafting world!
    ~Barbara~

  629. I use the Big Shot for all my die cutting needs, but have used a variety of dies from Sizzix, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug over the years depending upon my project. I love the simplicty of getting circles/ovals, etc. for all of my scrapbooking/card projects.

  630. I have a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug and use both all the time! I love them and find I use them for both scrapbooking and cardmaking…..so many wonderful possibilities! I would love love love to win the Nestabilities dies as I have never tried them and have wanted to! Thank you so much for the opportunity! 🙂

  631. I use my bigshot machine constantly. I have only used a couple of spellbinders so far and fine them to be excellent! Would be excited to win some!
    Thanks, Sandy

  632. I have a Sizzix Big Shot and I ABOSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I use it all the time. I never knew you could use Spellbinders dies with it. LOVE Freebie Fridays!!!YEA!!!!!

  633. Thank you for the chance to win, I would love to finally have a cutting machine in my craft arsenal.

  634. The Nest-abilities would be a great addition to my craft tools. My Husband hs been looking at them for a while, but the price keeps us from investing in them. He lost his job a few months back and has been able to get a new one but at a much lower rate of pay. Got to pay the bills before we can play. I was able to get the Big Shot from my son for Mother’s Day a couple of years ago. Love it. I like the Grand Caliber for it’s portability tho. Spellbinders has some very nice things. It would be awesome to win some. Thank you for posting your review on line.

  636. I’m a happy BigShot owner.
    Thanks for all your great ideas and tutorials. Love the inspiration you provide.
    (And, yeah, I’d love to win!)

  637. I have the big shot, and only recently purchased a spell binder die pack to use on my cards. They work wonderful and I love the embossed results. Thank you for the video of the grand calibur. It looks like a great machine! God bless!

  638. Love this product. I have a dear friend that uses many of these shapes, for her home-made photo albums. They are so beautiful and so professional looking. I would spend a lot of money at any store that carried them, for sure. What’s so fantastic, is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money, whether your making them for gifts or for yourself. Thank you for these fun drawings.

    Blessings to you.

  639. I (heart) the boxes. I love anything Christmas that features Christmas trees. I own the Cuttlebug and I have quite a few different kinds of dies – Cuttlebug, Spellbinders, Quickutz, etc.

  640. Wow! Those Spellbinders are cool. I recently heard about them, but I had no idea that you could emboss the edges too. I just love the look of embossed cards and the dies would be so handy to have. Thanks for the chance to win such great products.

  641. LOVE my Big Shot. I make greeting cards, but also enjoy trying it out on new things; like embossing plain napkins for every day use! Possibilities are endless. Enjoy your site and the opportunity to win prizes. Thank you!

  642. I would soooo like to win spellbinders nestabilities. I see so many cards where they have used them and just love the looks. I have a Big Shot. Thanks for a chance to win.

  644. Thank you for the chance to win these great dies! I own a big shot and a cuddlebug and love them both! I love the larger dies, Santa might have to bring me a Grand Calibur……

  645. This is a lovely project. Thank you for all your hard work. I was surprised to read that spellbinders work with cuttlebug. Time for experimentation!!!

  646. I have a cuttlebug and use it mostly for embossing, and a few spellbinders I do have
    Thank You so much for the chance to win such awesome blog candy
    Would love to own this!!!
    Early Christmas!!
    Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us!!
    Hugs
    Lorianna

  647. I am just learning to use my Big Shot & these would be GREAT! I love exploring new ideas.
    Thank Tou.

    Terry H.

  648. I own a Cuttlebug and really like the impression it leaves for embossing and use it for die cutting also. Really happy with the performance. Have used Spellbinders with much success. Would love to win the blog candy.
    Betty

  649. Hi Andrea and Sophia
    You girls rock! You always have such creative, stylish ideas that never seem to run out! Thank you for having a cool prize / freebie with your stunning idea!!! I would love to win this as I have a Big Shot and I knew it works with a lot of die cuts, but never thought about Spellbinders… Never to old to learn new tricks! Cheers!

  650. Oh the possibilities!!!! I have not used the Spellbinders, but have seen so many wonderful things that you have made using them. To get the chance to play with them would be great.
    Sheryl

  651. I have the grand calibur,but have yet to purchase dies for it. It would be great to win these so I could actually try out my machine. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  652. You really are generous with all your giveaways. As of now I don’t own a die cutting machine, but really hope to own one. What a wonderful incentive to win a Spellbinder’s die set. Thanks for the chance.

  653. I own the Big Shot, and would love to win the Grand Calibur. I own a lot of the Spellbinders dies, but none of the larger ones so I’d reallly like to win this prize. Thanks for the great video and all your awesome talent.

  656. I love Spellbinders Dies! I own a Big Shot machine. I always have a fun time using the dies to cut and emboss. There are so many different things you can do with them! Thank you for the chance to win!

  657. love nestabilities! Thanks for introducing me to the Grand Nesties! They look awesome! can’t wait to try them, hopefully they will fit in the Big shot!

  658. I have a Big Shot and use all different brands of dies with them, I love it’s versatility! Thanks for a chance to win!

  662. I have the big shot I use it for both card making and scrap booking. I have not tried the Nestabilities yet, how to choose there are so many I don’t know where to start it is a little over whelming. Thanks for the opportunity to win maybe this will help me take the plunge!

  663. Wow another great tool! I have yet to try the nestabitilties but have heard so much about them. This just might be my lucky chance! If so probably an expesive one too as I will have some spending to do to add to the new collection. Our hobby is never ending. Love the purses they are just the cutest ever. Look forward to seeing the winner next week.

  665. I love my little Cuttlebug. While I am happy with it I am looking for a more robust and versatile cutting machine. It was nice to view this review and see what the Grand Caliber is capable of doing. Hope to win the dies, these are on my “Really Need It” list.

  666. I own a Big Shot by Sizzix. I really like it, but it doesn’t have the capabilities that the Grand Calibur has. I wish my Big Shot would suction down to my table top. I also liked your Huge Dies that you showed in your video. I can think of so many things I could do with them. WOW! I love Spellbinders. I use the die cuts making cards. I don’t scrapbook much. I LOVE card making. Your projects are fantastic. I am joining the Paper Crafters Library today!

  667. I love my Cuttlebug that I got a few months ago, but the Grand Calibur looks fantastic too. I love the huge dies because there are so many more projects that become possible. My favorite type of projects to do are cards. I just recently discovered Nestabilities, so I only have two of them! This prize would be amazing because I am trying to build up my collection and I absolutely adore Nestabilities for their versatility!

  668. I Love my Cuttlebug. I want a bigshot, but so far everything I have put through the cuttlebug has come out wonderful. I am so glad you tested the Spellbinder Grand Calibur Machine. I just love the nesties. I have several and am simply hooked on them. They add such a nice background for pictures in layouts. I would love some more to add to my collection. I adore your purses as well. They are so sweet. I plan to make them for my niece to hold her Christmas gift cards. Thank you for all your inspiration. I can’t wait to check out the newsletter and blog to see what else you have created.Keep on scrappin, scrappin, scrappin.
    Theresa

  669. I love my trusty Cuttlebug – but would like something that could cut larger items. I just happened on your website two weeks ago and now I am addicted! Thanks for the creative ideas – I had a Stampin Up party on the weekend and we used your idea for the wine tags… the girls were making them fast and furious!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win the Spellbinders product. Linda

  671. I recently purchased my Big Shot and just love it. The embossing folders and dies I have been using to make my Christmas cards are fabulous. My husband thought I was loosing it to pay so much money for a pasta maker as he calls it but after seeing what it can do he now thinks I’m so talented and loves everything. What a difference one machine can make to how professional your cards can look. I am so thankful for all the hard work you and Sophia put into your projects and thankful that you are kind enough to share them with all of us who are avid fans . I would love to be the one to win the big Calibur or Spellbinders dies I get so excited just thinking about it. The purses are just beautiful and I can’t wait to try them.
    Mary

  672. I do like the different shapes you can get with the nestibiities, I have a Big Shot but didn’t realize they were compatible. I do LOVE card making so would like to own the nestibilities.

  673. I have so much fun with the spellbinders! I can’t believe how many sites have the stamps that can also go with them! I even got my to grand girls into card making. They are only 7 but I got them the cuttlebug for Christmas and I always save the cutouts that I haven’t used to the girls. Even for Halloween I gave them a pumpkin stamp set, acrylic block and orange ink. No candy. I made a house box, house card and other things instead of candy. I can’t wait until Christmas to watch them opening the cuttlebug!!!! Can I have Christmas today??????
    Rannah

  674. I have the Bigshot and absolutely love all the 3-D items that you can make with it. Thanks for showcasing this new system. I will have to look into getting some of these dies!!! You girls do great works and love receiving the emails from you!!

  675. I have a Cuttlebug, I have checked out the Spellbinder at one of my local shops. I fell in love with it. It has so many differnt dies then what I can get for the Cuttlebug. I do a lot of dies cutting with my grand childern and I perfer ones that don’t use elec. They are easier for the girls to use. My 4 year old grand daughter is a pro with the cuttlebug. I have a girl scout troop (6 year olds)as well and they love our scrapbooking time and the die cutting.
    Elaine

  676. I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and have the Big Shot. I have all of their dies and a few of Tim Holtz….. I LOVE making cards and tags with my Big Shot and my favorite thing is the embossing folders. They give a ton of possibilities to making cards and embellishments. I am a little disappointed that I cannot fit a full sheet of paper in the Big Shot though. I would love the opportunity to use a machine with large format potential….. The possibilities would be endless for me then! You ladies are my inspiration! Keep up the great work!

    Ronette

  677. I recently purchased my Big Shot and just love it. The embossing folders and dies I have been using to make my Christmas cards are fabulous. My husband thought I was loosing it to pay so much money for a pasta maker as he calls it but after seeing what it can do he now thinks I’m so talented and loves everything. Thanks to you and Sophia for all your hard work and wonderful projects. I would love to win the Spellbinders dies. The purses you have offered us today are just beautiful and I can’t wait to try making them.
    Mary

  678. I have a QuicKutz Revolution. It is not nearly big enough, but it works for little projects. I have long been eyeballing the Nestabilities. They are on my Christmas Wish List this year! Thank you for all your inspiration and project ideas!
    Blessings,
    Suzanne

  679. I just love spellbinders. I have a Big Shot and love it.

    Thank you for sharing your projects with us!

  680. I own a epic 6 and it cuts fairly well. . I have been wanting to buy something like this for ages to try with my epic for Christmas project…thanks.
    Seema

  681. I have a cuttlebug and quite a few spellbinders dies. Not necessarily my favorite projects but what I use them most often for is making tags. I recently got the poinsettia die set and hope to start churning out a punch of pretty flowers to embellish packages this year.

  682. I have the Big Shot and love it…I love to emboss because it’s so easy to make a card or project look extra special. I would love to add the two Spellbinders to my collection…I’ve seen them used and they are really versatile. Thanks for the opportunity.

  683. I have a cricut machine that I love. It can get a little time consuming when you only want to punch out one thing. I have thought of using spellbinders dies but I get a little overwhelmed with all the shapes and sizes, so I don’t get anything! I would love to start, and if I win this great prize, it will be my chance! Thanks for the opportunity. This is exciting!!!

  684. I love,love,love my cuttle bug and any die cuts from spellbinders that I can get my hands on. I live in a small town so I rely on online shopping. I do enjoy all of your tutorials and your instructions and videos I live for…Thanks again for a job always well done!!!!
    Happy Crafting, Dixie

  685. I love my cuttlebug and I love to embossing. But I love my Spellbinders, I used my lacey squares to make an easel to hold a 2012 calendar this year, so cute!!! Thanks for offering this give away and I just love your blog and videos, I’m going to ask for Christmas a subscription to your Paper Crafter’s Library.

  686. I own and love the Big Shot though I’ve never used the spellbinders dies. I use the Sizzix dies for cards, scrapbooks and other projects but now I’m looking at either the Silouette of the Cricut also. Thanks for all the time you dedicate. Love your projects.

  704. I own a Cuttlebug and use this as often as possible in my card making. Always on the look for new spellbinders and unfortunately where I live it’s an hour drive to get to my favourite store that carries that largest selection around other than that I have Michele’s and they charge a lot more and just don’t seem to have the ones that I have my eyes on the lookout for.. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly be able to add to my collection.

    My favorite die cutting machine right now is my Cricut Expression 2 – it’s getting a real workout right now as I am making handmade gifts for my stamping group. 🙂

    My favorite non-electric one is the Cuttlebug. A wonderful gift from my thoughtful hubby who surprised me with it even though I hadn’t mentioned even wanting a die cutting machine. 🙂 Love using my Spellbinders dies in it. xo

    I mostly use them for scrapbooking but as I mentioned earlier, they are getting workouts right now making gifts.

  709. I own a Big Shot from Stamping Up. It is one of the best purchases I have made. I have a couple of Nestability dies and hope to add a few more to my collection. You guys are so talented. I always look forward to what is new in the Paper Crafters Library, on the blogs, Paper Crafters World. I try to use things from my stash to reproduce the wonderful crafts you post. I always learn something new and very useful. But I do have a wish list of things I see you use.

  729. I own the Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Big Shot Express, Revolution and the Sizzix Embossing Machine. I use all and love each and every one. If I need long cuts, I have my Big Shot.

  730. My 6 year old daughter and I love our Big Shot! We love creating school and Girl Scout projects as well as embellishments for our cards! Thank you for your inspiring posts and projects! –JRoberts

  731. I own a Big Kick, and love it. I would also love to own an Vagabond, and a Silhouette (electronic). I love to use dies to make layers on cards and ATCs. I am very new to the die cutting scene, so my dies are pretty limited at the moment. One thing I do love to do is make ATC envelopes from a die that our stamping group bought. I can die cut envelopes out of any paper I want, and the die scores the envelope for me too 😀

  732. I love my Big Shot and I use it for many things! Making different kinds of boxes to embellish is probably my favorite activity, although my embossing folders and dies get quite a workout while I’m card-making. I have a few sets of Spellbinder Nestabilities and would love to own more. Thanks for the opportunity, as well as for another great tutorial!

  733. I currently have the SLICE which I love because it is the only machine I have! Thanks for the chance!

  735. Have an old Sizzix die cut and then graduated to the electric Big Shot (a tremendous aid sine I have cummulative trauma disorder in my wrist and can create lots of cards now). I love the embossing templates and using with dies for different effects. Got a Nestabilities template and love the possibilities with the multiple diecuts in different sizes. Pick me!

  736. Watched the video about the Grand Calibur. what a great machine for scrapbooking and other larger projects; great for in the classsroom. a great christmas gift. thanks for sharing.

  737. I have the Big Shot. I enjoy doing simple projects that look complicated- makes me feel like I have talent 🙂
    I also have quite the collection of embossing folders that I use with my cute blue embossing purse.
    Thanks for giving us the chance to win some goodies!
