Mama Elephant May 2014 Stampede Blog Hop | Splendid

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store:

http://www.mamaelephant.com

Today I'm showcasing the brand new ME Splendid Stamp Set and "extreme" multi-colored embossing (using 2 or more colors of embossing powder on a single stamped image). If you loved the ME Make A Wish Stamp Set from a couple releases ago, you will love the ME Splendid Stamp Set!

I used five colors of embossing powder on this single stamped image, dressed it up with some ME Femme Frames die cuts, ME Confetti die cuts, a bit of ribbon and paper layers and voila.... I have a fun fancy-looking card within minutes!

What to do with all that extra embossing powder from this desgin? Should you throw it away?

No way! Make the most of the leftovers by using them to make another card! Same design but a different look with the mixed up embossing powders! So fun and easy (and no wasting embossing powder!).

[Theresa H]

Stunning cards Nichol! Thanks for the techniques video. Off to have a play :-)

[Tracy L.]

Great idea for using up the embossing powder! Why not make several at a time then just one! Great stamp set Mama Elephant!

[Jessica H.]

Love these cards. Way to make two at one time and not waste any supplies!!

[Jennifer]

LOVE the different colors!

[Elise C.]

Wow, awesome cards! I really like the design that you used! And the second card looks so cool with the mixed embossing powder!! :)

[Gabriela]

Very cute! I love that big sentiment stamp

[Deanna]

Lovely! And the multicolored ones turned out great! I love the stamp itself too.

[RedGem]

Great card... very colorful!

[Kim Rendino]

Love them both! I'm surprised how nice the mixed colors of embossing powder turned out...I'll have to remember that one!

[JanLee]

Beautiful cards! I didn't know you could mix embossing powders, thanks for the tip!

[Trissa]

Two great cards...I love your style!!!

[Elena]

Both of the cards are so much fun!

[Ana Roat]

Love the super big greeting. Would be great in school colors for a graduation. Quick question...how do you mail your handmade cards? Do you custom make an envelope and then use a padded postal envelope or just throw them in a slightly bigger envelope and toss in the regular mail?

Love your work and still miss your weekly videos..!

[Lisa Beeman]

Great cards! This ME stamp set is a must have!

[Cissi DS]

Your cards are beautiful!

[Sabrina Radican]

I sure love the colors on both cards!!

[Katy Kirwan]

Thank you so much for the chance to win! I LOVE everything about your cards and cannot wait to try multiple color embossing! :)

[laura mm]

Beautiful cards! Love the way you did the ribbon :)

[Lagene]

Fantastic cards! WOW, I love these big sentiments!

[Nichol Spohr LLC]

I usually mail my handmade cards via regular mail in padded envelopes.

[Diane]

Love your card and the way you used up the rest of the embossing powder. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[marylouh]

The love is my favorite (could it be because I'm partial to blue). Love the fewer and more subdued colors. The first was pretty too (don't want to hurt it's feelings). Loved the large ribbon running down the front of the card. Great idea.

[Linda Tupper]

Just lovely cards. Beautiful work. Love the different colors. Thank you for the video. Love the sentiment stamp!
