Hello, crafty friends! I’m back with a card featuring new release products from Spellbinders and this one features the Beads of Friendship Collection inspired by Taylor Swift. Even if you aren’t a Swiftie, you may have grown up in the late 80s and early 90s making friendship bracelets and sneaker pins to adorn your wrists and sneakers!
Simply based on the nostalgia alone, I’m absolutely smitten with this beautiful collection and had so much fun creating with all the hands (you know me) and bracelets. I could literally sit for hours assembling these and there are so many colour options!
The sets featured here are the Heart Hands Etched Dies and the Bestie Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set. I finally got my hands on Concord & 9th‘s Neutrals Assorted Cardstock Pack and couldn’t wait to use it with these hands. I love that they made custom colours just for skin tones and that makes it easy to create with! I used Cocoa for the top layer and Espresso for the shadow.
For the beads of the bracelets, I used Dragonfruit, Poppy, Gold Coins, Juniper and Silver Glitter cardstock. The bracelet comes with a shadow piece but I didn’t use it here, opting to layer two bracelets on each wrist. If you use the shadow, only one bracelet will fit. You could also keep it simple and add a single bracelet or make it asymmetrical. It’s easy and fun to customize!
The sentiment from the Bestie Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set was heat foiled using Matte Silver Hot Foil on Juniper cardstock and I added a shadow cut from Silver Glitter cardstock. I popped the hands and sentiment on black foam squares after creating my signature background from Gold Coins, Fog and Snowdrift cardstock.
