Island Vibes Inspiration

Todays post is all about Island Vibes inspiration! I don’t know about you, but I sure could use a bit of a tropical escape right now. January is always a tough month. It’s cold. The days are long. It feels like winter will never end.

I’m hoping that these projects will provide you with a bit of an escape from the January blues. Think about palm trees, beaches and fruity drinks instead of the pile of snow outside your window. Even if it is just for a brief moment.

I’ve included the measurements below if you’d like to recreate the cards. You can see how they come together in the video towards the bottom of the post.

Measurements:

• Old Olive: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside); 3-1/2″ x 5″ to die cut scallop rectangle; 2-9/16″ x 3-7/8″ and scrap
