New Nesties

We have been busy searching for new products to add to the shop and have recently added some Spellbinders Nestabilities. We've only added a few designs at the moment but if they prove popular, we'll look at increasing the range. All sets are a very reasonable £17.50 each!

With Christmas just a few weeks away, the Heirloom Ornament set is perfect for creating those special cards to family and friends.

You can never have too many of these doily style dies, these Picot Edge Circles set are perfect for layering.
If you want to add to your collection of Nestabilities, these Postage Stamp Set are just adorable and are great to add layers to your projects.If you are looking for a particular set, we would be more than happy to order in for you, just pop us an email to mail@theribbonreel.co.uk.

Have a great weekend!
