It's 2 more days until My Favorite Things August Release, with even more tropical fun. Today I'm sharing Tiki Party, a set that features palm trees, thatched huts, and a few Hawaiian phrases and sentiments. I diecut the new Die-namics Double Stitched Oval STAX from watercolor paper and ink distressed with several colors of dye inks. The little hula girl from Polynesian Paradise was stamped and colored with Copics and assembled on the oval with a few huts and palm trees. I stamped the sentiment and mounted the piece onto a kraft card base that was stamped with the new Wonky Chevron Background that reminds me of a tapa cloth design. Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure you visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things to see more of the August release from the rest of the design team and leave a comment there for a chance to win a $75 prize!

Tiki statues have been around for hundreds of years. They have their roots in Polynesian culture. They are most prominently found in the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Hawaii and the most famous Tikis tower over Easter Island. Fifth grade students learned about the mystery surrounding the massive head sculptures on Easter Island and discussed there possible meaning. Tikis usually featured a human head carved from wood or volcanic rock. The large cylindrical shape of the trees formed their basic shape. All of the features are exaggerated especially the nose and mouth. Most ancient Tikis have little painted decoration. They differ from Totem poles because they lack the presence of animals and the intention of telling a story or representing a group of people. Fifth graders created their Tikis by sketching out ideas onto brown paper with pencil. Students then traced their design to make their Tikis symmetrical. Next, they used construction paper crayons to add vibrant color to their drawings. Lastly, they used lines to replicate the texture of a wood carving.

Today I am featuring three amazing new stamps sets that I LOVE, Tiki Party, Birds of Paradise, and Blissful Blooms! Oh how I love this set!! I am a sucker for palm trees and Tiki!! So cute! I used the Double Stitched Circle dies on this card too. I sponged some distress ink for the background. The sand is cut with the same exact Double stitched Circle and part of it is cut off. All of the stamps are colored with Copic markers and adhered with foam tape to a Smooth white card base. My next card features the Birds of Paradise Stamp set and matching Die-namics! The background was watercolored with Peerless watercolors on Tim Holtz Watercolor paper. All of the stamps were colored with Copic Markers and adhered with foam tape. The green stripe paper was cut out with the Double Stitched Circle STAX and it's from the new Dots & Stripes Fresh 6x6 Paper pack. The yellow polka dot banner was cut with the Pierced Fishtail Flags from the Dots & Stripes Sorbet 6x6 Paper pack. The little flowers are from the Tiki Party stamp set. And last but definitely not least this lovely card was created with Blissful Blooms stamp set and matching die-namics. I also used the Wonky Chevron Background stamp to stamp the pattern on the Double Stitched circles. I just love this card! I love flowers and especially flowers that I get to color!! These were SO fun! I added some little details with my white gel pen! They are all colored with Copics and mounted with foam tape. I added a few 4mm sand Pretty Pink Posh sequins last! Yep! These stamp sets make me happy!! I hope you have enjoyed seeing all of the new products in use! They are so awesome! Thank you so much for stopping by!
