Hello everyone! I’m here today with a trio of cards using the new Beads of Friendship collection from Spellbinders. I couldn’t believe how fun these were to create and how much more of a Better Press believer I became. So much good stuff!
Essentially I used the Bestie Alphabet and Beads stamp set first to stamp and die cut a ton of alphabet beads. Then I cut more beads and bracelet bases from the Bestie Beaded Bracelets die set and then just started playing around.
After putting together a few of the open-ended bracelets, I paused and created this card. I used the Flowers & Foliage 3D embossing folder for my backgrounds and a little distress oxide ink blending for the panel with my bracelets.
I couldn’t resist making a few closed bracelets as well and just love the Bestie Heart in Hand dies to go with them. I pulled this together with more distress oxide ink blending in the background and a frame created with the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies.
Then, unrelated to my massive bead and bracelet creation, I really wanted to play with these sweet hands that shape a heart! This is the Heart Hands dies, with mini bracelets as part of the set. So cute! Plus the Bestie Sentiments press plate and coordinating die. This one presses and cuts 12 sentiments at once! It’s pure perfection!
I used more ink blending and the Notched Corner Frames dies to pull it all together. This ink blending also has some white paint splatter for added texture.
These cards were so fun to create! Once they were done I just kept thinking of new bracelet themes to create so another bead session will be coming soon for sure!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
