Don’t you just think warm weather and lots of tropical fun when you see this Island Oasis designer series paper from the Summer Mini catalogue?

Here I used the Island Oasis paper with the coordinating stamp set, Tropical Party, to make a mini album.  This album is so simple to create.

I ran a square of the Island Oasis designer series paper through my Big Shot with the Petal Card die.  Next, I cut a piece of cardstock to 2-1/2″ x 10″ and scored at 2-1/2″, 5″ and 7-1/2″ to make the foldout page inside the album.

Lastly, I cut a strip of Old Olive cardstock 3/4″ x 7-1/4″ to make the belly band closure.

This is the album open to the front page of the foldout cardstock piece. I stamped the front panel with Tempting Turquoise and Pumpkin Pie flowers from the Tropical Party stamp set.   

This picture shows the inside page extended.  I cut squares of designer paper to 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ and adhered them to the foldout page between the score lines. Then I added a stamped and punched circle and square as embellishments.
