'Summer travels' - double layout

#havana nights #summer #challenge Hey everyone! So January is almost over... imagine how fast the rest of the year will go by?! Well, I intend to document the best moments of the year, which means more scrapbooking practice for me! So I thought this month's 'double layout' challenge by Kaisercraft was the best way to get started. I used the papers and collectables from Kaisercraft's 'Havana nights' collection.

#hearts #love #simplistic Hello papercrafters, here are some simplistic yet beautiful cards you can make for the people that mean the most to you. I saw some gorgeous papers at the reject shop and just had to have them! I intend to create more cards that are minimalistic and elegant. For these cards I used pre-made kraft notecards (from Kaisercraft) for the base of the card. Then I cut some patterned paper to 6 x 4 inches and adhered it to the front of the notecard using some glue tape. I cut two hearts (white and kraft) using a heart die and adhered them to the centre of each card using some foam tape. For one of the cards I wanted to add a sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto some kraft cardstock using versamark ink. I added some white embossing powder and heat set it. Finally, I cut around the sentiment and adhered it to the centre of the heart on the front of the card using some foam tape. Materials used: Cardstock - white, kraft | Patterned paper | Notecards
