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!
