Hello friends
It's the tea/coffee cup symbol...long blog post ahead!
Firstly questions...
I was asked yesterday by Ros what my London job is...just to clarify I work on
Thursdays and Fridays for a law firm near Tower Hill, I've been there 15 years. I would
love to devote a full week to Hope and Chances but right now those two teenage boys of mine
keep me poor! Bella is a little expensive at times too...her hair stylist is more pricey than mine!
I've also been asked what are the tiny flowers and leaves I often use on projects
like this one....

It also features a pretty jar, basket and more...
The correct sandwich in your Grand Calibur® is B-Pink Embossing Plate, the 3D M-Bossabilities Folder with your paper/card inside and then D Raspberry Adapter Plate.
The way I remember it is to 'think Pink!' if you are picking up any plates that are not 'pink-ish'
then you haven't got the correct sandwich.
I will be stocking these folders and the Imperial Gold dies, also if there are particular
current dies you are trying to obtain please let me know. If I haven't got them in my shop
I can normally get them pretty quickly for you.
Now on to Raspberry Plates....
There are two larger size Raspberry Plates - 8.5 x 12 and 8.25 x 11.75.
The reason for this is dependent upon your Grand Calibur - looking at the white tray at the front
of your machine - if it has side panels to the tray (as pictured below)
you will need the 8.25 x 11.75 Raspberry Plate.
If the white tray has no side panels (as pictured below) you can use the larger 8.5 x 12 Raspberry Plate.
Now it is possible to change the tray in your machine, if you purchase a new full set of plates they come
with a new tray.
To remove the existing tray make sure your Grand Calibur is secured down.
Create the embossing sandwich - base plate, tan embossing mat and embossing plate.
Feed this sandwich into the back of the Grand Calibur, turn handle.
As the plates run through the tray will become loose and you will be able to remove it.
To insert the new tray, slide it in aligning it with the side grooves.
Remember feel free to email me questions regarding Spellbinders,
I answer emails a little quicker as my aim is to get to all of them in one day!
Okay so the exciting bit now...the winner of the Gold Corners One
Bella punched in her clock card! She picked out a winner and took it to her snuggly blanket.
Not the most glamorous shot of Bella, her little back legs! Once she completed her task she decided to cast it to one side and look out the window - I fear she is not conscientious in her work!
Upon closer inspection ...I can announce the winner is..........
Kym's Crafty Cards.
Congratulations!
Please drop me an email with your address details and I will get your dies sent out straight away.
As mentioned, I have more splendid giveaways coming up so eyes peeled.
Have a wonderful day dear friends.

Congrats to the winner of the corner dies Christine. The little flowers remind me of those in the Cherry Blossom dies, and I think they could be substituted if you had that set.
Hi Christine. Lovely long blog today. I must admit I thought the tiny flowers were made with a punch as I've got one.
Sadly I haven't got a Grand Caliber yet. I use my Cuttlebug which is great but a little restricting when it comes to large dies and embossing folders. Sadly the postage to send one out here is almost as much as the machine itself and it weighs too heavy to bring back in my suitcase.
Well done to Kym.

hi Christine - what a lovely selection - I love what you have done with the little window it is very pretty and I think the jar needs to be filled with some chocolates. congrats to Kym on her win.
Hi Christine,
Well done to Kym. I love the tag with the window. I have this Die and also the Gate. I wondered if you have any ideas you could share for this.

Thank you so much to Bella (for picking my name) and Christine/Spellbinders for doing the candy as I was the lucky one to win these dies. I make my cards solely to sell to raise funds for different charities so I shall put them to good use for my cards. Best wishes, Kym xxx
Congratulation to Kym. I love those teensy flowers xx
Hi. New to your website and love it. I came across it because I needed to remove the tray on my grand calibre and insert the new one. I have put the new one in but it doesnt slide and and out like the other one - should it?
