The Spellbinders Wizard Die Cutting Machine has a different style than the other machines out there with a rachet as the handle. Which mean you crank instead of roll to push the dies through. It allows 3000 lbs of pressure to make very thorough cuts and allows you to cut many different materials other than cardstock. It has many different plates and pads for cutting other consumer dies. On top of cutting and embossing the Wizard will let you emboss with brass stencils, charms, perform image transfers, set eyelets, smash bottlecaps and lots more. Spellbinders Paper Arts are proud of this versatile, user-friendly crafting tool.
I love how she uses the different media like cork, felt and the pages from an old book. With the Wizard die-cutting machine, you get 3000 lbs of pressure so you can cut felt, cork and smash bottle caps.
She also gives a good tip on how to make your vine pop out and look a little “weather beaten”. Using the On the Vine Border Grand, she sprays the paper with water then lets it dry.
This is what her finished page looks like:
Another fun idea using the On The Vine Border Grand is to cut the vine into sections for smaller projects or to use at the base of a flower.
This gorgeous card was designed by Spellbinders International Guest Blogger, Yvonne Hagane. She used the Labels Ten and the Flowers Creation die to create this eye catching flower. For the recipes and more information on the designs featured in my blog, please visit the Spellbinders blog.

Here are some Questions and Answers about the Spellbinders Presto Punch that may be helpful:
Will the Punch templates for Presto Punch work in regular manual die cutting machines such as the Wizard?
The Punch templates are manufactured differently than our standard dies. The cut edges on the
punch templates are different and could cause them to cut (and stick) into the plates of a manual die cut machine, damaging the mats and potentially dulling the cut edge of the punch template. We do not recommend that the Punch Templates be used with any manual die cutting machine.
The punching mechanism of the Presto Punch machine is designed for using the templates that are a part of the Presto Punch line. However, Spellbinders dies that are under 2 in. in size could work in the Presto Punch Machine. Results will vary and are not guaranteed. The Presto Punch is not designed for use with die cuts only Presto Punch Templates.
Why isn’t the Presto Punch designed for use with Spellbinder Die Templates?
The Presto Punch is a new tool designed as an alternative to traditional punches. Punch Templates are a great value and easier to store versus bulky, traditional punches. Thanks to their unique design, they emboss consistently without tearing paper or can emboss a shape on another punched shape. The Presto Punch machine offers automatic punching at the touch of a button and does not require the force of a traditional punch. It is also capable of accommodating thicker materials the most traditional punches cannot accommodate such as fun foam.
Spellbinders Paper Arts will continue to offer new innovative products in the die cutting category. If you currently use Spellbinders die templates in a manual die cut machine stay tuned as we continue to develop and offer new designs and solutions for die cutting.
What comes with the Presto Punch Machine?
The Presto Punch machine comes with 7 punch templates (shown below) covering popular punch
shapes. A Punch Booklet and Embossing Booklet are also included. Batteries or a power adapter are sold separately.
Stacey Caron demonstrates how to cut and emboss the Spellbinders Die Templates called, Spellbinders Pendants. Spellbinders Paper Arts released the all new Shapeabilities Pendants and Borderabilities Die templates and won Honorable Mention from the Innovation Showcase at CHA. The all new versatile pendant die template sets from Spellbinders include four coordinating dies that cut, emboss, and stencil. The Pendants and matching Borderabilities can be mixed and matched to achieve a variety of unique, professional results quickly and easily. The possibilities are endless and have opened up a whole new creative gateway in the card making and scrapbooking world. Here are a few tips for you to understand Pendants: 1) Read all the instructions on the packaging insert. There are lots of great tips there, especially the ones highlighted in the red box. 2) Make two passes in your Wizard. The second pass should be made with the die/paper turned 90 degrees on the spacer plate. The Wizard then cuts with and against the paper’s grain. 3) Use 65# weight paper or less.
Stacey Caron demonstrates the amazing Spellbinders Frameabilities. Frame abilities give you two frames and two coordinating accent pieces to decorate that scrapbooking page! A cousin to the Edgeabilities Collection, Frameabilities are fabulous for creating frames, windows, mats,and jouraling boxes. Perfect to frame any layout or photo. This die template cuts, embosses and stencils.
Stacey Caron demonstrates how to use Shapeabilities. Shape abilities are the only free formed dies on the market and create beautiful projects as Stacey will show. Also new to the shapeabilities collection are the Pendants. These are really popular! Spellbinders dies cut, emboss and stencil! With the shapeabilities the artist can cut anywhere on a machine’s base and in any direction because the die is the shape.
Stacey Caron demonstrates the Nestabilities. These dies are the first of their kind and offer cutting and embossing in 1/4 and 1/8 increments. Cut@Home has the cheapest price! After applying your 40% off coupon these nestabilities come out to be about 14.99 each. Spellbinders Paper Arts have completely replaced scrapbook punches with these nesting die cuts making it more affordable and easier storage for all paper crafters, scrapbookers, and card makers!

These will emboss or deboss the front of an A2 card (5.5 x 4.25). You will be able to emboss or deboss pre-cut die cuts shapes and letters.
Stacey Caron demonstrates how to use the 12 inch Borderabilities Grand for scrapbooking. You have to see how well it embosses! There are so many Borderabilities Dies to choose from including scalloped, classic lace, daisies, holiday lights, scrolls, and many more types of shapes.
