Moroccan Nights Birthday Card

I'm sure you have noticed how much I like embossing! Whether it is dry embossing with embossing folders, heat embossing with the heat tool, or creating an embossing resist, I love it all! This birthday card is no different.

Craft with Beth: Moroccan Nights Birthday Card Emboss Resist

The Moroccan Nights stamp set is perfect for embossing. I love the detail in the mosaic image, which is also gorgeous in copper!

Here I used dry and heat embossing. First, I stamped the mosaic image randomly on a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Versamark ink. Then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. You could also use white embossing powder.

Next I sponged Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry ink randomly across the cardstock. I wiped the embossed areas to remove any excess ink.

Across the center, I layered a piece of Night of Navy card stock with a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock embossed with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).

In the middle, I placed a decorative label with the birthday sentiment.

To add extra embellishment, I added gold enamel shapes to the center of each mosaic image.

Have you tried embossing? I would love to see what you make!

The Little Moments Emboss Resist

The emboss resist technique is a gorgeous way to highlight the large mosaic image in the Moroccan Nights stamp set! The Rich Razzleberry sponged background really makes the mosaic tiles POP!

Craft with Beth: Moroccan Nights Emboss Resist Thinking of You Card Stampin' Up!

I started with a 4" by 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White. I stamped the large mosaic image using Versamark ink randomly and embossed with clear embossing powder. Next I sponged Rich Razzleberry all over the cardstock. I did a combination of swiping and pouncing to create a varied texture. After sponging, I wiped the embossed mosaic images with a tissue to remove any excess ink.

I used the 2-1/2", 2", and 1-1/2" scalloped squares from the new Layering Squares Framelits to make a little frame around the The Little Moments sentiment. Gold 1/4" trim is wrapped around two corners to add interest and sparkle. The gold enamel circles further enhance the richness of this sweet thinking of you card.





I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the the longer mosaic image on the inside of the card. I used Rich Razzleberry and Night of Navy ink pads.

I hope you give this technique a try! I would love to see what you create!

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))!

Craft with Beth: Moroccan Nights Thank You Card Hello You Thinlits Stampin' Up!

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!
