Crafting Friendship for Halloween, Christmas, and More

Hello! It’s Jean from Right As Rain. Discover the creative potential of the Spellbinders Beads of Friendship Collection! Inspired by Taylor Swift’s iconic friendship bracelets, this collection features die sets, BetterPress sets, and a stamp set to craft paper versions of these beloved accessories. To show the collection’s versatility, I’ve created a Halloween card, a Christmas card, and a card celebrating the spirit of friendship. The letters on the bracelets add a graphic touch, making it easy to personalize each card with sentiments that are both striking and meaningful. Let’s take a look!
