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!).

I so love your cards---so happy and fresh--the new Splendid stamp set from ME is going to be a must!

[Kelly O.]

Love the bright rainbow colors on the first card. I was one of those kids that never mixed up their play-doh colors so watching you mix up the embossing powder almost sends me into a panic...lol, but love the idea that you had for the second card. It makes it much more bearable knowing I can still use it for a totally different look. Great suggestion. I just need let go...it is only embossing powder. :)
