Welcome to the First day of Spellbinders Pendants Blog Frenzy!
Spellbinders is celebrating the introduction of Pendants die templates, a new die line that will inspire your creative mind. You have the opportunity to win the Pendant and Borderabilities die templates I’m introducing today by entering the contest at the end of this post. Be sure to read all the rules before entering! You still have until June 23rd, 11:59 pm EST to enter for the dies I’ll be showing you today.
What a pleasure it is for me to kick off the Blog Frenzy with this new Spellbinders product! As you will see, it is right up my alley! With all the techniques on punching that I’ve displayed and played around with, Spellbinders hit a home run in my book with the Pendant die templates. I was thrilled beyond words to see that now I’ll be able to make the same type of round motif medallions with one pass of my Wizard! (Remember, these die templates are universal and work with other popular die cut machines). The possibilities are endless with stacking, off-setting, framing and removing the centers.
Remember, these die templates can only be seen on Spellbinders Designer blogs and there will be 8 days of reveals. As always, there is an opportunity for you to win these templates so I’d encourage you to take care and read my entire post carefully to make sure your entry is correct, ensuring your eligibility to win.
Here is a complete list of the line up. To see or to go to any of the ones coming up, feel free to visit the following:

I know you are dying to see exactly what a Spellbinders Pendant die template is, so I’d like to present to you, two new Spellbinders sets:
S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendants – MSRP $24.99 per set
S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities – MSRP $19.99 per set
The Fleur De Lis shapes are the epitome of absolute elegance! My mind immediately goes to wedding, vintage, invitations, favors – you get the picture. The S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendants include a large pendant, a center pendant and two accent pieces and has a MSRP of $24.99. It’s no coincidence that the center pendant fits exactly in the middle of the large pendant. This will enable a matched cut out or very stylized frame but the center pendant can also be stacked on top! Then the two small accent pieces are of the same scale and size that you can use them separately or stack them on top of any of their matching outlines on the large or center pendants. Pendants are symmetrical and perfectly sized for a card with the large pendant measuring 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and the center pendant measuring 1 7/8" x 1 7/8".
The S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities are made to work with both cards and scrapbooking with a perfect cut size of 1 x 5 1/2" for both and has a MSRP of $19.99. The first Spellbinders Borderabilities die template with the fleur outline, is open-ended which will allow you to make a continuous border. The top edge does not cut which will allow you to incorporate a border as a part of your page. The second Spellbinders Borderabilities die template cuts on all edges allowing you to place the border as you will.
I have two projects to share with you today. For the first project, a card called Make A Wish, I have included step by step directions to show you how to use the Pendants. For the second project, A Vintage Gift Set with Keepsake Ornament and Box, a tutorial will be coming soon.
Here is a closer look at the Pendant:
