Moroccan Nights Thank You Card

For June's monthly demonstrator's card swap, we were challenged to make a card using a new product from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. I made a thank you card featuring the new Moroccan Nights stamp set. The medallion image is gorgeous (and coordinates perfectly with the Moroccan Designer Series Paper (DSP))!

The inspiration for this card came from Simply Made by Wendy. I thought her design was simple and stunning! I kept the layout and measurements the same for my first attempt makering her card using Stampin' Up! products.

However, I felt that there was too much white space above and below the medallions. There was no place for the eye to rest. I also noticed that Wendy's medallion image was larger than the one in the Moroccan Nights stamp set.

For my second attempt, I reduced the width of the Whisper White cardstock. Decreasing the white space above and below the medallion image helped bring my focus into the center of the card. I'm much happier with the second attempt. I also used a thinlit for the sentiment instead of a stamp for a bit of whimsy.

The medallion image is a great way to show off your favorite colors! Here I used So Saffron, Pool Party, and Peekaboo Peach. As the weather gets warmer, I like more vibrant, cheery colors, but I bet this card would be great in deeper, jewel tone colors like Elegant Eggplant and Emerald Envy!

Check out what fantastic cards my group made. Which one is your favorite?



The new stamp sets and products used in this swap are Sitting Here, Painter's Palette, Jar of Love, Pop of Paradise, Moroccan Nights, Banners for You, Floral Affection Texturized Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF), Flourish Thinlit Dies, and Bunch of Banners Framelits.

Thanks for stopping by!
