Laurel is treating us to two cards, both using the Sweet Perfume stamp by Penny Black. One is so rich with beautiful watercolor. The other features an elegant and chic black and white, with a touch of gold floral theme. Enjoy!
Bird and Branch Art Journal Spread by Zinia
Hi there,
We are so thrilled to introduce to you today a new segment that we will feature once a month on Art Journaling. We 
have been seeing some fabulous work by so many but we were especially impressed with Zinia Amoiridou (you can visit her at: @abstractinspiration). Zinia is a super talented and enthusiastic Art Journalist, among many other things in the art
world. She is currently enrolled in Art School in Greece and she is so talented she got in on her first try! (this is no
small feat) So, you can understand how pleased we are to say she will be hosting a special post every month - YAY!
Today she has brought us a special treat, a video on her project, The Bird and Branch. You can see first hand how she created her beautiful page of pastels, flowers and birds.

Christmas in the Round Card
Hello,
The Holidays are right around the corner - Whooo-eee. So it is time to get busy in our little workshops.
The new Christmas in the Round stamp by Penny Black is the centerpiece of the card and it is filled with all sorts of Christmas color, sparkle and joy. Just in time to get you started thinking about the upcoming Holiday season.
Vibrant Butterfly Trio
Hello Everyone,
So nice to say hello again! Today's project explores the Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks. They are so much fun and oh, so vibrant! I just love the rich jewel tone colors that you get with these inks. The stamp sets I am using today are the Butterfly Trio by Penny Black and Paper Artsy's Eclectica3 by Sara Neumann.
Celebrate! Wildflower Card
Hello again,
I am excited to be with you again with a new project. Today, I am using the Concord & 9th Wildflower Stamp Set and watercolor paint to create this card. There is nothing more relaxing then coloring beautiful flower images, right? And we all know, Concord & 9th has some beautiful flower stamps.
Butterfly Joy by Heather Telford
Hello again,
We are so pleased and excited to present another masterpiece by Heather Telford of the Bits & Pieces blog. A few weeks ago we featured the elegant Sweet Perfume flower stamp by Penny Black and Heather's stunning work. Today, in serene blues and graceful butterflies, Heather has created a breath-taking piece of card art. We are in awe of the beauty and artistry that she instills in her projects. It is simply amazing.
Have A Happy Howloween
Hello Everyone,
Back again ... ready to start another fun project. Today is a scary Halloween card highlighting another Lawn Fawn stamp set from their new Fall release. The Happy Howloween stamp set, along with it's companion lawn cuts and the supporting Stitched Tree Border Lawn Cuts set, help make this card up in a snap.
Ready to Jump for Joy?
Hi Friends,
Today is a red-letter day for all of us at Foiled Fox! Laurel Beard and the kind peeps at Lawnscaping Challenge are featuring many of our projects today on their blog. Be sure to go and check it out. If you haven't already, subscribe to their newsletter. You can also have some fun and participate in some of their challenges. Their blog is always bursting with creative ideas and projects by some very talented folk.
In the meantime, here is a close-up of one of the cards. Since Fall is nearly upon us who else is better to usher in Autumn than the cuddly forest Lawn Fawn squirrel from the Jump For Joy stamp set. This adorable squirrel was just achin' to jump into that big pile of leaves so I had to make it happen. You just need to move the clear acetate lever at the bottom of the card so Mr. Squirrel gets his wish.
