We're pleased to announce the 12 finalists of the Spellbinders Explore Beyond: Craft to Win! We've narrowed the field of hundreds of entries down to 2 finalists from each of the 6 categories. Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to enter this contest. It was a very difficult decision to choose these finalists!
Our panelists looked at originality, attention to detail, use of Spellbinders dies, and ingenuity. We were so amazed by the talent that came through... that we chose an honorable mention from each category to be featured here on the blog! And... because we had a couple of fabulous ensembles... we put them in a category of their own just for fun! (The ensemble category is not part of the finalist pool.)
If you've been chosen as one of the 12 finalists... please send in your actual project to the Spellbinders Offices ASAP! If you were chosen as an Honorable Mention... please also send in your project... in the event one of our finalists don't respond!
Please send to:
