Creative Belli Challenge for Halloween

Today Darcie, owner of the Creative Belli Challenge Blog has challenged us to make a project that features Halloween!  This is such a fun holiday.  My grandkids get so much candy, it usually lasts until Christmas!

Here is my card:

The skeleton friends are from a stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  The paper is Papertrey Ink and an old Martha Stewart.

Remember the spirit of the Belli Challenge is to use things you already have in your craft room.  No need to rush out and buy something new.  Maybe a forgotten tool, an old embellishment or maybe some paper that you have in your stash.  We would love to see what you create.  Make your project, then link it on the Creative Belli Blog here.

A Bird Does Not Sing

Hi everyone, today it's Joy posting a card with supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such.  This is a fast card using some great paper from Simple Stories called Harvest Lane.  I used stamps from Sparkle N Sprinkle called Bird Song.  The ribbon is some of Beverly's fabulous Eggshell Seam Binding that I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I just ran the tip of the marker up and down the ribbon until it was the right shade and did a quick dry with my heat gun.  The ink made the ribbon just a little stiff, but I found it tied beautifully.  Instead of letting the tails of the ribbon hang, I used them to wrap around the top layers of the card.  This card is an example of how pretty paper and good stamps from Classy Cards 'N Such make creating easy.  So go to Classy Cards 'N Such take a look around and see what they have that can take your card making and scrapbooking to a new level.

Thanks for looking at my card -  I hope you have a HAPPY stamping day.
Blessings,
Joy

Here is my card:

I used stamp sets from Papertrey Ink called Leaf Prints and Beautiful Blessings.  The embossing folder is from Anna Griffin.  I've had all these - even the paper for a long time, so nothing is new.
