CHA SUMMER 2011 - Wrap up - Part 2

 What I think is SOOOOOOOOOOOO cool about this industry is the ability for companies to team up together and enhance the consumer's crafting experience.  And it's especially cool when companies like Spellbinder's are innovators in the industry and take the intiative to partner with other companies to bring about the whole package.

I left off in Part 1 with Want2Scrap. As I mentioned, they are known for creating bling, however,  I failed to mention that they are also one of SpellBinder's preferred partners.  They have designed a whole line of chipboard embellishments called NESTABOARD which made their debut this past week at the CHA summer 2011 show.   Combine your Nestaboard with your Nestabling for a beautiful look in minutes.   Nestaboard and Nestabling coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders Nestabilities line.

So simple - just cut your patterned paper from the matching Nestabilities die!  AND....then

BLING IT OUT with Nestabling!!

Love it when companies work together to design more goodies for us to play with!

Now onto Spellbinders!...I am personal friends with Stacey and Jeff - the founders. But, even if that weren't the case - I would still love their innovation and their passion to bring about great product to the consumer.

They debuted 50 new designs featuring flowers, boxes, alphas and more -  all sorts of fun patterns and did you know that their dies will now cut fabric and felt? OH the possibilities!!!

Stacey took a few minutes with me to show me how versatile the dies are:

Not only do their dies cut and emboss in detail - you can also use them as a stencil to add additional detail

 viola...pretty quick and easy! (love these mini shapes from the Presto Punch!)

Here's a sample using one of their newest butterfly dies.  Learn how to make this butterfly tag with a free tutorial.

and it's not only about making scrapbook pages or cards...check out this candy dish

There's way to much to show you in this post -so be sure to check out Spellbinder's Website

Onto more goodies.... Let's drop by the Heartfelt Creations booth, another preferred partner of SpellBinders. 

They are primarily a rubberstamp company.  Along with their own line of beautiful stamps, they also make stamps that coordinate with Spellbinder's Dies. 

When you combine Heartfelt Creation stamps with Spellbinder's dies you will get this gorgeous result1

Love the texture and the depth of layering you get with this combination!

Imagine all the savings from having to purchase pre-made flower embellishments...WOW!
