Making Mini Notecards with Spellbinders Nestabilties
Using any of your dies, you can make small notecards.
Cut and score a piece of cardstock to be slightly larger than your die.
Place the SCORED edge of your card just below the edge of the die.
(if you place the score OVER the edge, it will cut the card in half, or if you place the card just on the edge, the pattern will impress into your card slightly.)
A plate, C plate (you are Cutting), die (rough-side up), card, B Plate.
Run it through the machine.
Here it is:

Creating a Medallion for a Focal Image with Spellbinders Nestabilities
This technique creates a unique place to put an image on a card.
Because you are only embossing, it is acceptable to place one die rough-side up and the other die rough-side down.
This placement will create a large inside edge:
(A plate, B plate, dies, your card, 3 sheets of cardstock, tan embossing mat, B plate)
Large inside edge:
This placement will create a large outside edge:
(A plate, B plate, dies, your card, 3 sheets cardstock, tan embossing mat, B plate)
Large outside edge:
Circles are fabulous for this technique also.

Making Window Cards and Embossed Window Cards with your Spellbinders Nestabilities
Making A Window Card:
To make a window card, I always start by scoring my card, to allow the die to be placed in the location I desire.
For this card, I am going to use an oval die.
Place the die on your card and then hold it in place with a piece of low-tack tape, or just put a little lint from your pants on a piece of double-sided tape. A small piece is enough to hold it securely.
REMEMBER: You MUST cut rough-side up with your dies. Not doing that can ruin your Cuttlebug, its plates, and your Nesties.
Top with your B plate, run it through, and here it is:
Embossing the Window Edge:
If you would like, you can also emboss the edge around your window.
Place a scallop that fits around the window and secure with a small piece of low-tack tape.
Remember, the die has to be rough-side up!
Top with 3 sheets of cardstock, the tan embossing mat, and a B plate.
Run it through the machine.

If you want to just emboss shapes into your card, follow these same steps. Do each shape one at a time, using a small piece of low-tack tape to secure the die.
Cutting and Embossing with Spellbinders Nestabilities
Cutting and embossing are two separate steps with the Nestabilities. I will be showing you how cut and emboss with the Cuttlebug.
CUTTING:
With the Cuttlebug, you start with the A plate, then the C plate (C for Cutting).
You place the die rough side up. The ridge is the what will cut the paper. The inside edge is what will emboss.
Then cover with your paper and a B plate.
Run it through the machine. And this is what it will look like, after you remove the excess paper. There you have a shape. Use it as-is, or follow the next steps to emboss. 
EMBOSSING:
As you remove the B plate and the paper, make sure and leave the paper inside the die. You can take it out, but it can be tricky to place perfectly into the die again for an even embossing edge.
You will need to change your plates to emboss. Start with the A plate, then a B plate (emBoss).

The key to embossing is the Tan Embossing Mat. In the Cuttlebug, you will need to use 3 sheets of cardstock and the tan embossing mat.
Place the die rough-side up. Top with 3 sheets of cardstock. Make sure that when you place the Tan Embossing Mat next, that it is over the die. Top with a B plate.
Run it through the machine. Here is what the embossed edge looks like:

New stuff, oh yes, there is more! :)
Here are the photos of the new Gel-A-Tins items. Aren't these stamps gorgeous?
Who doesn't want a good flourish set or two or ten?! I can see using these with the Prima Flowers farther down the post...
Gelly Gems!
New Heidi Grace baby items.
I personally love the chipboard add-ons (above photo, left). They are self-adhesive chipboard stickers. They are the perfect size for scrapbooking AND stamping, which doesn't happen too often.
Prima Esprit flowers.
This is a close-up of the above flowers-GORGEOUS! They are shimmery and beautiful!!
Small, shiny flowers for the centers of all your Primas or any other flower. These need some Glue Dots, so stock up on those too.
Fancy Felt Matties come 3 colors in one package. It is thin, intricately, die-cut felt. Beautiful-once again, perfect for cards or layouts.
Look at these! Self-adhesive felt. Simliar to Felt Fusion from Queen & Co, but these are so much more delicate. There are 3 in a package. These Art Strips are 12 " long.
