Here at Spellbinders, we are very excited to be releasing a winter collection by a designer that is very dear to us. Do you ever wonder where we get the beautiful projects we feature on our website or social media channels? Often, they are created by amazing designers from all around the world! Zsoka Marko is one of the designers we have been blessed to work with. Earlier this year we approached Zsoka to ask if she would be interested in creating her own collection of dies, stamps and embossing folders. To our delight, she said yes!
After many months of behind-the-scenes design work, we are thrilled to be featuring Zsoka’s beautiful collection called Winter Tales. It’s inspired by her life in Europe and her love of folklore. Take a look at several cards Zsoka created with her new line.
All of the dies work beautifully to mix and match and the Ski Lodge embossing folder is always the perfect background as you see in the card below.
And here’s a closer look of her Enchanted Garden die set.
But, who better to show off her entire collection than Zsoka herself? Grab a warm drink and enjoy this introduction video where you can see all the fabulous items in the Winter Tales Collection!
Thanks for taking a look! We’d love to offer one lucky commenter a $50 prize package featuring the Winter Tales collection! To enter to win, leave a comment on this post by midnight Eastern on Wednesday, October 5th, telling us what you love most about winter! Good luck, everyone! Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, and at the links below where where you can see more of Zsoka’s work and that of so many talented designers!

My favorite part of winter is when it is snowing.
These cards are beautiful! What I love about winter is watching the snow fall and cover the backyard and making it into a winter wonderland! Just love it!
Winter is a time for comfort foods, stoking the wood stove and having more time to create!
WOW….just WOW…..such an incredibly unique and beautiful collection from Spellbinders. They continually knock it out of the park! My favourite thing about winter would be the freshly fallen snow on the ground…
Oh my GOOD goodness! These cards are beyond beautiful. I am in awe of everything. The colours are beautiful. I watched the video and am so inspired. I want to win so bad, lol. What I love about winter is spending time in front of a fire with the hubby.

What I love most about winter is staying inside, warm and cozy, and doing my favourite hobby, which is making cards! My favourite cards to make are winter- and Christmas-themed. This Spellbinders Winter Tales set is AWESOME – I love the sample cards! I would be beyond thrilled to win this prize and I can imagine how many amazing cards I could make! Thank you, Spellbinders and SCT!
Here in So. Florida it is always hot so I love the cooler weather winter brings us – even though it is brief! lol Love Zsoka’s new products -beautiful!!
The best thing about winter is playing in the snow with children.
What a beautiful Spellbinders collection. It’s both traditional and folksy holiday options!
Ah, a Canadian prairie winter, perhaps you’re asking the wrong person. But when the temperature and conditions are just right and you see the hoar frost on the trees, it’s so picturesque and once of the things I enjoy seeing on a winter day!
What a beautiful collection by Spellbinders! Thanks for a chance to win!
Winter is a time for all things cozy, love the snow and the peace and serenity of the night sky!
I love this folk art inspired collection! Thanks to Zsoka and Spellbinders for this wonderful Winter’s tale collection.
I just love this set. I adore anything related to folk art. Just reminds me of my youth for some reason. My favorite part of Winter is getting to stay inside with some hot chocolate and do some crafting. I am a homebody so Winter gives me a good excuse to stay inside..lol.
I love the coziness of winter and the beautiful snow.
I love winter until January 1st because of the holidays – then I’m done with it!

What a beautiful collection from Spellbinders! They always have such wonderful products! My favorite part of winter is a beautiful snowfall, but that doesn’t happen too often here in Southern Arizona!
Oooo this Spellbinders collection is stunning! My favorite thing about winter is cozy nights by the fire!
My favorite thing about winter is having a fire in our woodstove and watching the snowflakes falling!
I love to be outside when it is sunny and not too cold to snowshoe. So Peaceful. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love the colour combinations used in these projects using the Winter Tales Collection.
One thing I love about winter is getting cozy under a blanket and snuggling with my kids.
This is such a beautiful collection. So different from anything I have. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Adorable collection, thanks for the chance to win! What I love most about winter is the recreation opportunities: skiing and snowshoeing in particular.
This collection is SO beautiful! And a lot of it is sold out already! I love everything about Christmas during winter: decorations, gift giving, cozy days at home, baking, and most of all making cards and tags.
Love the colors in this collection & that deer is the sweetest.
My favorite thing about winter is that I have more indoor time which means more time to make cards & layouts.
I love winter for snowshoeing ! And that it’s a time when things slow down a bit (for me) and I can craft a bit more !
Love the traditional old style ornaments, reminds me of my childhood.
I love the folk art this set represents. Different from the traditional Xmas stamps and dies.
These cards are all so pretty! Beautiful designs!
I love it if we get a smidge of snow….. we sometimes get a dusting of snow once or twice during the winter and I love the way it makes my yard look!
I love the vibe of this collection!
I love the vibe of this collection! My favorite part of winter is when it’s over ????
Oh, I like this color pallette for the holidays!
Congrats!!! Tami!
Love this color palette! Beautiful projects!
I live in an extremely warm climate. The few weeks of winterish weather we get where the temperature and the humidity drop are incredible. It’s my favorite time of year!
