Peoria, AZ – August 31, 2010 — Spellbinders™ Paper Arts, LLC, an award-winning inventor, manufacturer and marketer of cutting edge tools for crafters, announced today it has been named to the Inc. 500, a list of the fastest growing private companies in America.

With over 27 million businesses registered in the United States, the Inc. 500 list represents the top-tier businesses in America today.
“Fast growth at any time is a big achievement; fast growth during the past few years is just short of miraculous,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “The Inc. 500 consists of these just-short-of miraculous companies, the ones that through ingenuity and ambition have increased revenue, hired employees, and grown fast in difficult economic times.”

The fastest-growing list is an exclusive ranking of entrepreneurs nationwide – a group Inc. magazine refers to as the most important segment of the U.S. economy. “It is an honor to be included in this year’s Inc. 500 list and recognized for our entrepreneurial achievements,” said Stacey Caron, Spellbinders’ President. “Our focus has always been on manufacturing innovative, quality products for crafters.

Some CHA stuff...I'll be adding more...just trying to catch up! LOL!
I found this video of myself demostrating the newest product from Spellbinders, The Grand Calibur and The Grand Nestabilities! This is my first video so I'm a little nervous - don't mind me but mind the newest toy!!! I love it!!
Click on to the above links to get more detailed product information. Things I did not mention: load up S4 die templates in one platform to save time esp. during the holiday seasons (aka those homemade cards), plastic body but the important gears inside are metal, right-handed/left-handed crafter friendly and more pressure than the Wizard.
A little birdie (coughCAROLcough) told me that my LSS, Craft Fancy (Arlington Hts., IL) has ordered them!! So if you live in the Chicago area, check it out when they will ship early October!
